This. I mean, Skyrim wasn't perfect. But another 2 or 3 games with those mechanics but interesting new content would have done quite well.

Bethesda's weakness has always been writing and content, though. Lots of it, but the main plots are consistently terrible.

And any decent form of in-game inventory management! Why is it sooooooo bad in bethesda games :(

As far as I can tell their weakness is QA because their games have so many bugs it replaces the actual game design, but at the same time it seems to be their strength because people think it's funny, which must make it hard to change.
