Personally, in retrospect, I feel like Bethesda games did less "push the boundaries" and more "spread the spill".
Skyrim was always touted as this deep character development based game, but in terms of functional combat mechanics and interactability it felt wide as an ocean, but actual meaningful character development both personal and story driven, seems only as deep as a puddle.
I genuinely don't understand the Hype skyrim gets, and I say that as someone who has played a shit ton of skyrim.
Skyrim is so simplified and boiled down compared to even oblivion.
