I used to be such a big fan of them Elder Scrolls, ever since Morrowind. It was one of the first games i owned on an Xbox. But damn, has that series sunk to some lows. I even liked Oblivion. Sure they took out a lot of what Morrowind had, the atmosphere wasn't nearly as engaging, music was somewhat forgettable aside from the main theme, but the quests and factions were really worth pursuing. Felt like it had heart.
Then came Skyrim..
Skyrim, man. Skyrim did it for me. The faction questlines were terrible and so fucking short compared to the ones in Morrowind and Oblivion. The NPCs weren't nearly as colourful and interesting as in the previous titles. The assortment of weapons and armor has been getting shorter and thinner as the series goes on. Everything in it has gotten more mainstreamed, and it's always been for the worse. Down to the skills and spells. The only things Skyrim has done well, is look fantastic and sound amazing. Everything else is just a bland forgettable journey.
Well i hope that this leads them to canning Thief 4, i care deeply for that series and everything i have seen thus far has been nothing but moves in the wrong direction.
