    Ive not played a single bethesda game beside starfield that didnt hook me a few hours in. They arent that slow to start.

      I found Arena horribly slow to start. Skyrim had a “reputation” since release of being a slow start.

          Nope, The Terminator came first… And I don’t think that’s THE first game, either.

          I only knew this because I did some research out of confusion. See, when I grew up I had a game by a company called “Bethsoft”, and I vaguely remember it being a joust clone (though I could be confusing two things). I remembered it real well because I was 9 years old and their logo was a “tastefully” topless fairy. And you know what “tasteful” means to a 9 year old boy lol

          Edit, looks like their very first game was Gridiron!

              Right. Arena has a special place in my heart. Never got close to beating it, but played hundreds of hours anyway. I wasn’t very good at finishing games at that age lol.

              Daggerfall was a dramatically better experience IMO. Never beat that one either, but I played it more than Arena. If I recall, that one was the one where just chilling out and questing could cause the main quest to timeout.
