Why does this piss you off? Do you make a habit of getting angry at very predictable things? They've always done this.
"This is the way it's always been done" is also the same rhetoric bigots use to justify racism. Just because Bethesda has always sucked ass doesn't mean anyone likes it or wants them to continue to suck ass.
What the fuck are you on about? I'm not defending Bethesda. I'm saying that if a company makes games with the exact same kind of flaws every time - getting upset when they do it again suggests the issue might be with the inability to make basic inference.
It's like if you don't like chocolate, buy a bar of chocolate, and going "Gah! This one has chocolate too!".
They didn't rewrite the creation engine. It's going to have the same feeling and issues as other games made with that engine. It wouldn't have to be this way if they had done a good job. But, they don't seem to have to do that for a lot of people to enjoy their games. But being surprised by it? Nah, that's on you (figuratively)
Nobody is saying they were surprised by it; they're saying they are disappointed in it.
Being disappointed requires unmet expectation. "Surprised". Why don't you pick a word you prefer that conveys unmet expectations? I think you know perfectly well what I mean. And if you don't, then, well, I'm not here to argue.
