I would hate to see bethesda take over for king's field. they specialize in big, populated worlds. that's not what king's field is. you get rid of the feeling of isolation, you destroy the game.

Their programmers are terrible. oblivion and fallout 3 are both still filled with terrible, game-breaking bugs. they really enjoy nickel-and-diming players with rather terrible add-ons. operation anchorange for fallout 3 was the single most boring thing I have played in this console generation. I don't even need to go into oblivion's DLC mess beyond mentioning "horse armor". but I will. out of the ten DLC add-ons it got, only knights of the nine and shivering isles were good.

their level designers are equally bad. every indoor location in oblivion and fallout 3 feels the same. nothing stands out. nothing has personality. there's no unique architecture. when I think of the ruins and caves in oblivion and imagine king's field getting the same treatment, I am filled with rage. the areas in KF are unique. you know where you are just by looking at the walls, the architecture is stunning, and unique to each area. it's hard for an environment to have personality, but From Software knows how to do that. Bethesda doesnt even grasp the concept.

they didnt do fallout 3 justice. it's a small, small game. not that much to do. it's not the massive game that players were promised. you can quite literally do everything in one playthrough in about 50 hours. in their other games, you can have a progress approaching 200 hours and still not see everything. I didnt play the other fallout titles before 3, but I have since gone back and played them, and it is painfully obvious that bethesda really screwed up with 3. it's a good game, but not a good fallout game.

bethesda likes selling out. look at oblivion and fallout 3. multi-platform titles. with both games, PS3 owners got screwed. bethesda CHOSE not to release any DLC for oblivion on the PS3 other than shivering isles (knights of the nine was included on the disc). yes, the other DLC was largely terrible, but gamers should at least get the option to try it. with fallout 3, microsoft shoved enough money into bethesda's pockets to keep the PS3 version from ever getting any of the fallout 3 add-ons, depriving hundreds of thousands of gamers the ability to play the full game (and from seeing the rest of the story. the broken steel expansion will completely change the ending of the game). Bethesda has thus proven they have no respect at all for their fans. do you want KF to be treated like this? do you have to worry about not being able to play the full game because bethesda just doesnt like your platform of choice or because they're getting paid off by one of the console manufacturers? even if you have all the platforms it could possibly be released on and it wouldnt effect you directly, do you like the idea of any loyal KF fan getting screwed over by bethesda's terrible business practices? I sure as hell don't.

king's field: the ancient city was everything I could ever want from a KF title. I cannot find anything to complain about in it. if the series has to end on that note, I'm happy. few games get such gems as their final installment. changing developers would risk too much.

if from software wasnt interested in the development of a new KF game, the ONLY company I'd want to see pick it up is Agetec, given their intense involvement and passion with the series. even though they've co-developed many games in the past, they just arent big enough to do a KF game on their own, even though I know there's nothing they'd love to do more.

better to let it die with From Software than be destroyed by another developer.
