Is this mystic lake ? <| sep |> I hope the same thing except Oblivion was the sweet spot for me having tried Morrowind and Skyrim so I guess I ' m already one step further in disappointment than you might be if they decide to dumb it down even more . To me Skyrim and FO 4 were both steps back from Oblivion and FO 3 respectively so I am surprised as to why FO 4 seems to be the one theres more a consensus it was bad 73 % positive rating on Steam compared to Skyrim 95 % rating . I was really excited about Fallout 4 and Skyrim , now I am going to be extremely skeptical Fallout 5 or ESVI , honestly if it looks like they ' re still heading in the same dumbingdown direction I may just skip purchasing until its dirt cheap . I disliked FO 4 and Skyrim but still enjoyed it for a while until I started not really liking it . But I think now knowing what I dislike about both of them if I experience the same thing except worse in future games I ' ll just dislike it from the get go . I recently got back into Skyrim checking out the Special Edition and I was boredunimmersed from the get go with the bad bad pacing of killing a dragon and becoming a member of the Inner Circle of the Companions within one day . Ironically that type of immediate rewarding system of progression is supposed to appeal to me since now that I have less time in general than I did before since I ' m in college graduating soon working but to me doing that is itself a waste of time when its so dumbed down .
