I'm not sure where Bethesda gets off not only buying out a very well crafted series only to drive it into the ground with 2 bland entries that progressively suck more and more at telling stories, with the most outlandishly bad writing with incredibly poor personalities.
Just hand the series over to Obsidian, they at least knew how to write a game that at least had a hint of the same style that the original 2 did.
