Well, it is now that every game takes so long to develop. That’s the unfortunate part of long dev cycles. Imagine asking people to play morrowind before recommending Skyrim to them. That seems wild but then you remember how long it took to get games like Fallout 4 or breath of the wild. Don’t do that and you end up with a series like Metro which are amazing games but have prerequisites that lead to a more niche following.
Isn’t that the goal of every game sequel?

Ok, but people should play Morrowind before Skyrim. Or after Skyrim.
Is it?
I normally wouldn’t start a game which has a sequel before playing the former titles, TW3 was an exception though.
I’m guessing you’ve never played bioware games.
