I feel like the turnaround coincided perfectly with the 8 hour Morrowind essay guy shitting on Skyrim for 20 hours straight in 2022, and suddenly everyone agreed with him, doubly so after Starfield came out.

No idea who you're talking about but Bethesda games have always had some part of the community that disliked what came next with each subsequent release.
Fallout 76 was the beginning of the nainstream discourse, Bethesda didn't help that either with the fumbling over the bags, the bad pr and dark rum at some point lol all very silly but that was the start of the shift in perspective.
