The draw from Skyrim and other ES games is wandering around and stumbling on cool stuff.
They both removed wandering by having you fly your ship to a planet, and removed the cool stuff by making the planets procgen.
It's good fun exploring the cities and space stations but then that's it. They designed out the entire game in favour of more procgen content.
There was a story about two teens in Germany recruited to a private discord through I think Roblox, a bellingcat podcast on use of games as recruitment mentioned it.
The act of helping in the game builds trust fast and speeds up the recruitment.
Luckily these two went to the police after the blackmail/encouragement/ conditioning escalated to performing real world violence.
How many others didn't? Or were pushed slower so they were more caught up?
Awful stuff. And we have the UK shutting down local biking forums and fedi servers to protect children.
