You are right that Fallout 4 was better, but not by much imo. I just remember the huge disappointment I felt with Skyrim and the Fallout games, being a huge fan of Fallout 1/2, and shooters in general. Everything just felt slow and wonky.
It just never felt like a priority, which is totally fine and lots of people praise their products like they’re the pinnacle of video games, the engine just ruins it for me.
I’m actually surprised to not be downvoted to hell. If you air this opinion in front of casual gamers, like in /r/gaming, they go full Bethesda-fanboy-mode.
No chance they will block out the entire EU market. They will probably just do the same as everyone else and make a specific EU policy.
Actually I think Meta Threads is still not available in EU for the same reasons.
