Nope, because their games are barely RPGs, are boring and have no story.

I miss classic Bioware. Mass Effect, KOTOR, Dragon Age etc. Those are the games I want and nobody is giving them to me.

*shrug* I played NV years after the fact so I never noticed. KOTOR2 was incomplete, not broken afaik

Also, those games had some form of AI, player agency, and role-playing. Which going off what I've heard Cyberpunk is quite sparse on

It has the same form of AI, player agency and role playing as the Wotcher 3, which is the best RPG ever made.

KOTOR2 was an unfinished mess but yeah new vegas had a good story.

in a perfect world, where microsoft owns both companies and actually uses them to their full extent, they'd have the writers from obsidian working with the game developers from bethesda on the next fallout or elder scrolls.

Not at all. They're a very niche developer, and they keep putting out variations of the same thing again and again. I preferred them when they were making things like Eternal Ring, Evergrace, and Amored Core.

Hmm??

Hahahaha no
DS1 had to be remade to get rid of the terrible FPS drops
DS2 had to be released a second time to fix the FPS bug on durability
DS3 still has loading time problems in firelink and broken hitboxes
Bloodborne still has terrible FPS drops and so glitching into walls

Sekiro is fun tho

Besides the leveling mechanic, what does it have that makes it an RPG rather than an action game with RPG elements?

Ignore when people say that the title length is not important, that a title should just convey what the game is about. They're just jealous theirs isn't as long

Skill checks.

However I also think it's more action game with RPG elements.

idk, at least From tries to do something new with each of its games; starting with Persona 3, each subsequent entry has felt like the same thing with only a new setting and better graphics being the only notable changes.

Nah there have been massive QoL changes, and some solid changes to the battle system like the addition of Guns, or returning to demon negotiations.

maybe it's been a while since I've played P3 & P4, but neither one had demon negotiations? I think I might have been conflating things because I played P2 in the middle of P4 & P5.

interesting.

I'll give you the gun thing, though

Instead of negotiates they had this thing where you picked a card after a fight and it would either be a demon/health/MP or something like that. You couldn't just negotiate and recruit like in classic SMT.

This. Dark Souls 1 felt like shit to me. I actually liked the difficulty but the gameplay was really unimpressive imo
