First and foremost, yes, this is a must buy and play game if you're a Bethesda fan. I had extremely high expectations but most of them were met. The main story and quests are great, the shipbuilding is FANTASTIC, and many other things.

Honestly, after Fallout 76, even I was upset and thought that Bethesda wouldn't be able to deliver, but they DID, they really DID. This is for me, better than Oblivion, but lower than Skyrim (but honestly tbh Skyrim has no faults for me). BUT, and it's a big BUT (that sounded wrong xD), this is the most comprehensive and well thought out Bethesda game, being a culmination of all of their efforts since the Morrowind days.

The soundtracks, are great, the worldbuilding is amazing but that's a given tbh, since it's Bethesda after all, and they have never have put anything bad out there on those fronts.

What else?

PLAY THIS GAME!

Edit: Despite the steam reviews being objectively wrong, this is my GOTY
