Thanks to the excellent new Amazon show, the world is currently going wild for Fallout, to the extent that the old games are rocketing up the charts again. The series was instantly renewed for a second season, and modders have got to work cramming TV stuff into the games. It's Fallout mania! Wait, didn't Bethesda have another big game recently?
Oh yeah, Starfield. The game that everyone expected to dominate 2023, but ended up just being… well, alright. I don't want to be too mean about Starfield but it suffered enormously from both its proximity to Baldur's Gate 3, simply one of the best RPGs ever made, and the way it undeniably hews to the Bethesda formula. It just felt a bit like something you'd already played.
