Bethesda keeps simplifying its games to reach a wider audience, but this is total nonsense driven by business executives who don’t even play games. It does nothing but restrict the game's possibilities. There are plenty of proven examples showing this mindset is wrong, the biggest one being Baldur's Gate 3.
As shown in the visuals, Morrowind stands as an RPG masterpiece they should take notes from. The loss of stats/attributes, class mechanics, birthsigns, variety through spellcrafting, modular armor systems, diverse weapon systems, and many other RPG features is truly unfortunate. I want to see all of these within a high-quality UI that isn't tailored for consoles and casual players. These requests are not extreme at all. Given their resources, BGS staff could create effective options for casual players through better implementation.
I focused mainly on gameplay and game design, but deep, impactful dialogue should also be a fundamental part of the game alongside these mechanics
