>ES VI will sell like crazy
I wouldn't be so sure. Besides the downward trend with all of Bethesda's recent games, there's also the fact that standards are going up. How will the usual Skyrim-tier slop NPC writing and dialog seem, when compared with recent titles like Baldur's Gate 3, which didn't have stellar writing but had actual options and choices/reactivity EVERYWHERE, or a game like Cyberpunk that had characters that actually felt like living beings and scenes that were directed/animated/scored really well?

Bethesda got away with it for a long time because big budget AAA RPGs, at least, true RPGs, were still relatively rare. But they aren't anymore. I honestly believe unless they do something radical and unexpected with TES VI, the reception will be similar to Starfield. Not quite as bad (since I ASSUME they won't shove procedural garbage all over the place) but I don't think it'll be a positive reception at all. Bethesda was always behind the times, they just managed to trick people for the longest time with map sizes, sleazy marketing and a lack of real competition.
