While the third installment was t my favorite, Dishonored 1 & 2, as a full set, are in my top 5. Prey was also lovely. When I have the headspace and time for a new series/game I’ll buy Deathloop.
Fallout as a whole > Elder Scrolls imo. I was looking forward to starfield but again, time and headspace. And a decent sale, given the reviews.
As is though, for me, there’s drought all around for new games. Granted I’m forever waiting for the next immersive single player rpg with solid character arcs and voice acting.
Not to be all semantic, but those are all Arkane Studios games. Bethesda the publisher is different than Bethesda the studio. Bethesda the publisher did indeed release Arkane’s Dishonored 1 & 2, Prey, and Deathloop, but Bethesda the Studio’s recent output is Starfield, Fallout 76, and Elder Scrolls Online.
ZeniMax uses Bethesda Softworks to publish the projects from various studios, but those studios aren’t subsidiaries of Softworks.
The only Softworks subsidiary is Bethesda Game Studios, the other studios are under ZeniMax directly.
How much pressure Softworks may have as a publisher over those studios is much more questionable compared to the Bethesda Game Studios games because of that difference.
Microsoft eventually ruins what they touch.
Bethesda is the only good, old, non indy studio left.
Not to disagree but, when was the last new “good” game from Bethesda released, in your opinion?

Personally, i like the subsidiary studios. Dishonored, prey, wolfenstein, doom
