Dear The Escapist
In your recent article "Bethesda: the RIGHT direction", Joe Blancato reveals a disturbing lack of professionalism. The article could easily be mistaken for an advertisement, rather than a piece of journalism, as Blancato does nothing but preach an unquestioning and servile message of admiration. The list of questions left unasked is a long and depressing one, and I will only include some of the more obvious ones:
1: How have Morrowind fans and others responded to the countless lies (http://www.rpgcodex.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=15427) told by Bethesda about the features of Oblivion?
2: How did Fallout fans respond to the news that Bethesda had aquired the rights to make Fallout 3?
3: Having only made first-person action-rpg's and poorly received Star Trek games in the recent past, what are Bethesda's qualifications for making the follow-up to a deep, text-heavy and hard-core rpg?
Yours Sincerely
