    @GamewithDave A year ago, I would've said Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, but now I'd say Lunar: Dragon Song. If they could fix the game's infamously godawful gameplay, I'd give it a chance.

    @vingadorbrambz Even though I don't really care about Call of Duty where does it stop though next year when the next lot of big AAA games coming out which one of them cost too much to make to put in the service and what about the next Elder Scrolls all Fallout game

    What’s the point in playing Elder Scrolls Online if the dungeon queue is going to take almost an hour?! Can’t even do daily anymore because it’s super annoying! @BethesdaSupport fix your crap please…

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered from Bethesda Softworks still suffers from severe technical issues including persistent crashes and performance degradation over a year after its April 22, 2025 launch.

    @Draven_X_23 @Dexerto You really think Elder Scrolls 6 is going to be good after Fallout 76, Starfield, and the Oblivion remaster which is still broken?

    @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

    @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.

    @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 @JoeyAKangaroo Yeah let's focus on that rather than actually fixing genuine issues.

    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.🤔

    @Swurv__ Crimson Desert isn't an Elder Scrolls killer but it's showing us what could... People say Skyrim holds up but I can't play it again without a few thousand mods, Lorerim/Nolvus completely revamp the game to a modern standard and I can't go back to vanilla. I enjoyed it in it's time but it's dead for anyone that's already been there done that... let's be honest. Bethesda has nothing to worry about on sales and player numbers on release day but they should be worried about retention. I can't play Starfield it's the same old jank it just looks a little better but in a few years once Bethesda tosses it aside and modders do their magic I'll probably put a thousand hours more on it. I'll pre order it the morning of release and wait a couple weeks before the refund deadline to play it, see if Bethesda has improved or not because I can't do another plain three slash bethesda game, I just can't it's 30 years old. It took them until starfield just to figure out ladders... LADDERS meanwhile FO4 modders made functional ladders in their engine they said couldn't do it lol that should be telling us something. The lore will save it, the lore is what most of us care about, we live with the bethesda jank but we shouldn't have to. They also forced their lore writer out, that's a problem...

    @TESOnline Why don't the Devs focus on fixing the goddamn billing issue. ************* pay you but you don't give them what they paid for.

    @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?

    @LilithLovett Current Triple A meta is multiplayer shooters with live service and ranking systems, unfortunately. Elder Scrolls 6 is on hold till Todd figures out how to make it a multiplayer shooter. Let's hope he learns from Fallout 76.

    @joseagu59410157 @GamingAzoozDev @TESOnline Did any of your addons require you to change the game files in any way? If you're playing through steam you can validate your files. I don't want to assume anything though, so what exactly have you done to try and fix this? Then I can see what else you could try.

    @pizzamoney83 @VulpeculaLunae @TESOnline they have too much instance. that the problems. zenimax really overestimate the number of people who play that game. too many time i end up in a 12 player group where the half is in a different night market. we must scream to them to travel to us otherwise they can't find us lol

    "Elder Scrolls 6 has big competition-" "New game will destroy TES6-" "Fans of TES won't need TES6 with this new game-" No, the problem is that there is no replacement or competition for it. Do you think we are playing TES for its unrivaled quality?? No. We are mentally ill.

    @Swurv__ That's the main problem. Bethesda perfectly knows that they could sell a pack of **** branded "elder scrolls 6" people would buy it without thinking. That's what they do for 10 years now.

    @RevenantRemnant Look at the devs of the next Elder Scrolls.....A hint and a HALF it's gonna crash and burn. Recalling my vlog on it when I tried my hardest not to make fun of those women. Yes,THOSE women,not the women who's capable of developing great games and not garbage.

  • Granbul1

    @AndresRestart I think the problem with the Star Fox designs is that certain angles and poses make them look really bad. It's like making an Elder Scrolls character who looks great from the front, but then you do the side profile and see that you really ****** up.
