I loved Oblivion. I used to appreciate players being into the lore, the little corners of the game. But then Starfield came out with so many defenders. It made me realize the sheer number of players that are just… I dunno. “Shills” doesn’t feel like the right word, but I do not understand why they go to such lengths to worship BGS.
The only explanation I have is that it’s mostly people who never tried something else/never found something else they liked in the genre. And people who are really into TES games seem to also be heavily into modding them, so there’s that.
Nostalgia is huge with them.
