Why Bethesda's Writing has Declined

For some time Bethesda Game Studios have seen a decline in their writing. From the days or Morrowind right up to Starfield, the writing quality has continued to decline in quality. In this video I will dissect the reasons why and how it has impacted Bethesda's reputation. I will also discuss Emil Pagliarulo (Bethesda's lead director & lead writer) extensively as I explain his role in the decline. I hope you enjoy the video and as always, please leave feedback and thoughts!
