I play RPG, so Bethesda games are the ones I love to play the most. I enjoy playing Fallout and Elder Scroll series. Excited for Fallout 5 and Elder Scroll 6!
I just finished the Skyrim main quest line which was disappointingly short. I'm now doing Morrowind, thanks to the open source openmw game engine. Its surprisingly entertaining despite dated graphics and more keyboard oriented controls.
No idea about their next game. I have played Bethesda games since Terminator (89?) which was pretty much like modern GTA, way ahead of its time (yeah, open world like "city" in EGA simple polygon glory).
The first of the games that would later be named Elder Scrolls was an infinite open ended world (procedural generated), it felt gigantic as if playing in an Earth sized world. I never managed to complete the main quest (its impossible without a guide anyway) but you could lose yourself so deeply in it that it didn't matter. Yes that game is now freeware but i doubt many would play it with its classic Doom like graphics (dosbox runs it just fine).
Yes in an ideal country, your internet wouldn't be metered and seriously limited to the point you can't watch many pictures let alone play games. I don't live in an ideal country, but i remember when my internet used to be unlimited and reliable, those were the days.
Remember this, when it happens, you won't have time to prepare. Always keep a couple of offline sandbox type games around just in case. It might be some catastrophe that takes your internet fail for months or more. In my case its a political catastrophe but lets leave it at that for now.
In the 90ies people didn't have much connectivity, it was similar to my current situation very limited and slow and metered.
