Which is not something I'm going to do personally, but the information may benefit someone. I'm still torn between getting it on Steam or just Game Pass.

I can't seem to find whether it will be Play Anywhere.

To me it's more than just the fit and finish. Bethesda writes awful stories. I can't think of a single stand-out character in their recent titles, like even going back to Oblivion. There's never any depth, you're never asked to question motives, they usually fall into bland and obvious archetypes and never really develop past that.

Fallout 4 at least tried somewhat with the followers, but even then none of the stories were particularly compelling.

However, the games do make for decent sandboxes, and modders do some really amazing things with them. That's what I'm looking forward to.

Plus with all my pessimism going into it, if Bethesda magically manages to pull something that's only semi-terrible out of their arse maybe I'll even be impressed. It'll be difficult to fall short of my expectations at least.
