    @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.

    @RonnieBlaz3 @TESOnline I play currently on PC/EU and I played on Xbox/EU till 2019. PvP were always laggy. It was the worst in 2017! The problem was the netcode and not so much the servers. Servers became better though. Much less problems with connectivity and rarely lags in PvE raids and stuff. PvP still shity though bc, like I said, netcode! To much garbage requests vom the server leads to too much data that has to be handled. They should really redo that from scratch with a tighter code. So better no usage of AI bs. They will probably not do this o.o"

    @JamieMoranUK It very much was broken and completely unfinished on a **** game game engine. Today, it's a much better game than it was, but it's still mediocre. To each his own type a thing. I'd rather have a new fallout game or Elder scrolls.

    @brockpierson Elder Scrolls Online, Skyrim or Morrowind or Oblivion, Mass Effect Legendary, Witcher 3, or Cyberpunk 2077. The issue with doing it 12 hours a day if an MMO would be downtime due to maintenance!

  • StephenMcKellep

    @TESOnline I would suggest for killing enemies in specific zones, please enable delves and public dungeons. This will prevent issues because over world mobs respawn so slowly and the campers are furious if anyone even looks at the mobs their camping.

    @TESOnline Let's get Bethesda to actually fix the game so EVERYONE can benefit from the event, they seriously need to fix the issues with ESO+ mine has been inactive for 3 days, but Bethesda had cash last week to pay for 7 months

    @blacknredtext Ahem So: The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Breath of the Wilds, Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, Assasin's Creed Licence (the first games), CRPGs as a whole The problem is that we do not question if open world is a good idea, but how do we make it open world.

    @HexTheCatMeow sly cooper crash bandicoot star fox rpgs with "furry" choices like elder scrolls, modded fallout, baldur's gate, world of warcraft ark SA has some decent furry PC replacers.

    @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

  • MadoochiMoola
    MadmanMadoochiMoola (@MadoochiMoola) reported

    @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

    @RinoTheBouncer Not a problem since I'm basically the one person on the planet that's NOT hyped for GTA6. For me, Elder Scrolls 6 is the game I have the most hype for. It's my favorite game series and has been since Morrowind.

    @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...

    SenjutsuSage (@Senninsage) reported

    Yes, Elder Scrolls 6 with no guaranteed release date or anything, or even a guarantee we see it in the next 5 years. The belief alone that it would launch day one on Game Pass made me value the service enough to continue paying for it every year until it appeared.

  • AdamVergara13
    Adam Vergara (@AdamVergara13) reported

    @RazorwireRPG Elder scrolls can get away with in universe tech advancing because it’s fantasy. Fallout is science fiction so it’s supposed to be a little more grounded in reality. 76 being set 25 years after the bombs was probably a good idea because yes things would still be broken.

    @NikTek @CosmicMatt92 If elder scrolls 6 is great I don't care if it has loading screens, loading screens are even in the top 10 of Starfields problems

    @jizzle701 I don't take no ***** seriously when they mention Elder scrolls bro them shits is boring as **** with trash combat that relieson the community to fix the game & create content. DD2 has it's flaws but I'd play that over any Bethesda game any day.

    @pikazart @DaHomieKaiba @AmericanFo58009 Well, I'm speaking from a Christian and non-Arian perspective, so there's some bias here... but compared to the aspect issue in Lovecraft or the Elder Scrolls, three aspects of one being aren't as scary.

  • savepoint_tr
    SavePoint (@savepoint_tr) reported

    Wild origin story unearthed at PCG towers — the name "The Elder Scrolls: Arena" was basically a last‑minute fix to pre‑printed boxes. 📦🧾🎮 • Ted Peterson says Arena shifted from tournament combat to full RPG as sidequests and dungeon‑delving took priority. • With boxes already printed, devs invented the Empire nickname "the Arena" and Vijay Lakshman slapped on "The Elder Scrolls" — its meaning barely defined. • A serendipitous, awkward label became the foundation of a decades‑long franchise. Would you keep a quirky, last‑minute title if it could become the next megafranchise, or rebrand for clarity? #ElderScrolls #GameHistory
