  @xonebros I think long running franchises like Elder Scrolls, GTA and even my beloved Halo are in for a rude awakening. The gap between their entries is way too wide. We've gone from 3-5 years to 10-12 or more. The fans of the previous games move on and in some cases become developers themselves. That's where we see games like Crimson Desert, Expedition 33 and more come into the picture. These developers were inspired by the old franchises and made their own games with passion. GTA, Elder Scrolls and Halo are now established corporate franchises. Each entry has come out feeling more like it's trying to appease a corporate overlord that's demanding more revenue be generated from a single title instead of creating a one and done game in a timely manner New gamers are also coming along that aren't familiar with said franchises due to the gap in releases. A kid born on the release day for Skyrim is now in high school. They grew up with Skyrim being "that old game that Dad liked". While some may have gotten curious and gone back to experience and enjoy Skyrim (much like I went back to experience and later love Pac-Man and Donkey Kong), many just played whatever the new hotness was. In many cases, that was a cheap or free to play live service title like Fortnite, Roblox or Minecraft that could be experienced on any device they owned. Elder Scrolls VI and other legacy franchises have to deal with these. I think GTA 6 is going to be a massive test for these legacy titles and I don't think it's going to sell as strong as people think. A combination of unfamiliarity with GTA in Gen Alpha and Gen Z and the inflated cost of modern AAA will be a massive deterrent. I'm sure my fellow Millennial and Gen X gamers will buy it...assuming they haven't aged out of the hobby. Sadly, as that terrible Game Rant top 10 🐐 of gaming survey showed, we're becoming a rare breed in the industry.

  @Pirat_Nation Using an old *** engine The HORRIBLE train wreck Fallout 76 was not just as a game but the entire fraud and bunch of irl issues around it. Then starfield… People saying they dont even expect Elder scrolls 6 to be good anymore is a realistic mindset. Bethesda WAS, but isnt now.

  @MosesGames @TESOnline Thats a pretty crappy problem. I think the quest was called Those who would rule. If its not already in your journal and not in the crown store under quest starters possible might be bugged. Maybe id try a differnt device, like a second pc. Maybe missing a file

  @Pirat_Nation There is a very clear expectation from 2 totally different TITANS of the gaming industry. On one hand, Elder Scrolls 6. and on the other, GTA 6 1 is going to literally shut down countries and cause economic issues when it releases. The other one is going to be a 7/10 on IGN

  @MrCraneGames @Pirat_Nation Ah, so a Cyberpunk 2077 style reinvention. That might help, but the problem is that they're behind schedule for Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5. It's kind of a Catch-22 situation for them. Personally, I wish they'd just hand over Fallout 5 to another studio to clear their schedule

  @Xylus19 @Dee_Batch @klobrille I see no issue either but that’s the logic. Elder Scrolls became multi platform so I understand if future iterations are as well. As for Sony tactics, Square Enix is backing off because it’s not profitable for them. But it’s more about expectations for each 1st party studio 1/2

  @JeffsawHomes @IGN All while removing CoD, the biggest game in the service, setting a 1 year window for it's release, which is pointless for a mostly online game that does yearly releases. This also sets a precedent for other large games to not be included Day 1. Elder Scrolls VI, Halo 7, E-Day?

  @xonebros Is it in a vacuum or does the Elder Scrolls have a Crimson Desert problem. Pick one.

  @TESOnline @spantifical When are you going to fix all the bugs in the game? Abilities don't work the first time, so I have to double tap it, trials are laggy, crown store stole my crowns twice I started a ticket awhile back and heard nothing. So wtf are we paying for?

  @MedeirosDa61624 @TESOnline Exactly, it’s your experience. Unfortunately it’s not everyone’s experience. It doesn’t take much to see all the forum, reddit, facebook posts and most importantly what you hear in your community. It’s a growing issue across servers but I’m sure some are worse than others.

  @TESOnline It's laggy as it is most of the time you have to double tap for the abilities to work, sometimes triple tap and you wanna add a cross play? People are just gonna leave, I'm on console and every time I'm doing a trial or even a dungeon the lag is unreal. I'm on fiber btw.

  @MoonBeamFlare @TESOnline I had the same issue until I was finally able to go to the main map, then to fargrave where the icon showed up and I could finally transport there. Don't waste your time unless you laugh at Veterans dungeons. It is ridiculously hard.

  @TESOnline Before adding “CrossPlay” FIX the SERVER! It literally cant handle the current population, yet ZoS wants to add more content /players to a Unstable server that has been broken for yrs on PC. from what i hear on consoles as well. All we want are stable/reliabe Server ZoS!!!

  Blame on Bethesda and their goddamn creation engine. I wouldn't be surprised if The Elder Scrolls VI is gonna have problems too and don't tell me it won't just because it's a ******* updated creation engine. Also, I really think Bethesda likes to **** on Playstation somehow.🤔

  @CodyCoo15122985 @Swurv__ Tainted grail is one thing but if you think that the witcher of all franchises satiates the fix left by the elder scrolls then I seriously can't fathom what you like about the games to begin with, they're literally polar opposites nothing alike in the slightest

  @Alex_Kozinets @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline What lag? I don't have lag. I got disconnected at a very inconvenient time, and was presented with an idiotic long login queue. I still wasted almost half of my remaining gaming time of the evening, which btw is already very limited. So frustration is high when **** don't work.

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Please fix Starfield Terran Armada. I own premium edition and it won't let me play the game because it says i don't own it. Your own website says it is included in premium and that only those without it need to pay. Furthermore even premium isn't showing i paid for it
