  the elder scrolls has a scope and scale problem that makes tamriel feel really underwhelming the scope is too wide and the scale is too small

  @NikTek @CosmicMatt92 It would still be a huge problem having to load to enter every single house, dungeon, castle, whatever, this engine is abysmal dogshit, and they should have changed it after Skyrim, a have zero faith in the next Elder Scrolls game, unfortunatelly.

  @lohipuikko @pssucks80155 @Nick_Marseil Timed exclusives solves this problem IMO. Gears E-Day? 12 month Xbox Exclusive. Fable? 12 month Xbox Exclusive. Fallout 5 & Elder Scrolls 6? 12 months only on Xbox/PC. You get my drift

  @Raven0178 @Swurv__ Did you actually play crimson desert? Lol. It obviously would have elder scrolls abilities and combat because its an elder scrolls game just everything about crimson desert works so much better than elder scrolls games, cell based games are cumbersome to the extreme, I shouldn't need seven loading screens in the same town, you know? I'm just kind of over that. I want more of what crimson desert offered me. And id love it if that came from a studio like bethesda with its rich story and lore, because honestly, they suck at the back end ****. I think everyone UNANIMOUSLY agrees on that, hence why "its not a bug its a feature" its such a well known bethesda meme. Everything they make comes riddled with bugs and issues and we are fine with it because its bethesda, I dont want to be fine with it, I want my cake and I want to eat it too, I want the rich story and I want the amazing engine for it to run on in the background. You can keep paying for ur slop if you want though.

  @TESOnline It's so fun, I haven't been doing anything else. The only two things I see we need are more loot from ALL trials to drop randomly, and please fix the quests/arrows that seem to disappear with no sketch book to draw in, for example. The free house, once unlocked, is awesome!!

  @Johnnymetal80 @Septic_Sauce The anticipation for the follow-up to Skyrim is a money maker approaching GTA. A lot more upfront sales will be lost with Elder Scrolls 6, so with this move I no longer have confidence in Game Pass as a service. It was about guarantees, no doubt, and that's now gone.

  @DetectiveSeeds Don't have to be a "detective" to tell that CoD is just the start and future big games like Elder scrolls etc will also be absent from GP day one. Xbox will copy ps plus where big games join the service 6-12 months later 🤷🏻

  This proves HOW FOOLISH you are You have given MS/Xbox license to REMOVE 1st party games using the EXCUSE of cost ratio to XGP users Will Elder Scrolls 6 be in XGP? Maybe the cost of the game is too much per MS You fools have made a mess of a great service all becuz of

  @TESOnline Please fix the issues with night market instances. Skirmishes are active but everyone I go to one 1 out of 5 times there not a single soul even though the group finder is full of them. I’m a solo player that don’t like to group. Am I SOL?

  @bethesda the problem about Starfield fallout and elder scrolls is every time they update one they break the game so the gamers jump to another Bethesda game until they update and break that game. I caught the Bethesda triangle.

  @TESOnline So I can play the Night Market on a different character but can’t start the main quest with the curator on it? Please fix this.

  @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

  @Bethesda_UK Fix the game instead of promoting it. I've never had a game crash this bad since Elder Scrolls Online on PS4.

  @TESOnline It's actually a good system but it can be improved. My feedback is to remove actions that require a daily login.

  The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition developed by Bethesda Game Studios for the Nintendo Switch 2 port added improvements with an update 1.2 in February 2026 such as a new 60 FPS mode, a stable 30 FPS mode, and reduced input lag but it still costs $60 for a 15 year old game.

  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

  @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.

  @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.

  SenjutsuSage (@Senninsage) reported 57 minutes ago

  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.

  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.🤔
