I honestly thought Elder Scrolls was Satanic along with most of fantasy outside LOTR back when Morrowind and Oblivion were a big deal.
I didn't understand mythology and storytelling at the time. But I also thought Morrowind looked too clunky. If it was a better game, I probably would have given it a chance despite my slight irrational fear of being possessed through the controller.
My big beef with Bethesda is that most of the time you are collecting and improving junk. No matter how far you get in the game. Don't get me wrong, junk collection for $ is a thing in any RPG, but games like Mount and Blade and New Vegas help you streamline the junk collection process with action, story/quest advancement, etc. Or at least a non-repetitive discovering of locales.
Skyrim and Fallout 4 entice you to raid a bandit camp, to get junk, to go back to your workbench only to find the need for more junk. I really like those games. Great moments, but a lot of monotony when I look back and compare them with other games I spent too much time playing.

I wasnt even aware it was a joke, like Ive watched a friend play Fallout 4 and played a very little bit myself but Ive never actually "played" it and know very little of it : p This was all above my head anyway, haha.
As for a love hate relationship with Bethesda, kinda. I thought Skyrim was really great and fun, but I did not like Oblivion as much as everyone else wanted me to, or Morrowind either : p Morrowind felt too clunky for me to get into, and Oblivion was cool at first but everything felt the same, every dungeon looked the same and nothing changed ever. But I did really enjoy Skyrim, it was probly the first game by them that I actually liked : p
