Since Grand Theft Auto VI is taking forever to come out AND The Elder Scrolls 6… Well, let’s do a comparison. Two studios. Two philosophies. One shared obsession. Two worlds. One family. Just two brothers. One man. One mission.
Rockstar believes immersion comes from witnessing a perfectly crafted world. Every blade of grass, every character, every horse testicle hand-placed with meticulous detail.
Bethesda believes immersion comes from shaping your own story by building worlds that react to who you are, not who the developer wants you to be.
In this video, I look at the design philosophies behind Rockstar Games and Bethesda, what makes their worlds feel so different, and why both approaches are equally masterful.
