  @chaosprimeZ I'd rather them not announce something they are not working on. Bethesda announcing Elder Scrolls 6 too early was a huge mistake. Doing this for Destiny 3 would be no different.

  @Martina Holy ****. Who ******* cares? Real issues. Bethesda cancelled the Elder Scrolls.

  I don’t understand why they ever decided to do certain games multi platform. But also why they would ever consider doing ads in the games. Just make all of their exclusive series like the elder scrolls and fallout and fable exclusives, and then they won’t have any financial problems.

  @Jiujitsu45 @FuuTop1 I'd rather the Sony strategy. Live service everywhere, single player exclusive. Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls 6 will sell consoles, lots of them. But not if you can get those games on PS as well.

  @OtterRuin @TESOnline he issue is not my original statement, but that you don't understand my original statement. I don't know how to explain it any easier for you bud. Right now in 2026 the 4 original classes and weapons have ALL THE SAME SKILLS. No innovation at all. Boring AF

  I was thinking about this earlier. Bethesda was so enormous that they had their own stage show dropping games left and right. Now it's just live service Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online and Doom stuff. What a dropoff.

  @Amazing_ParaBoy first, the nemesis system was never patented from elder scrolls. you’re thinking of middle-earth. second, “blueprint” is used in a colloquial sense to refer to the bare-bones idea of something. there isnt any issue with how people are using it

  @K__Med Here's my expert analysis. Smaller studios were purchased to pad content prior to Zennimax and ABK. Phil gave those studios a lot of rope, because they needed content. The problem is, they were given too much autonomy, probably because of the praise Xbox for the handling of Mojang. Covid delays aside, when all you had to launch from first party in 2022 was Pentiment, it kind of shows how desperate they were. Now that they have AAA output and top tier IP, the overhead from these smaller studios is sucking resources with little to no ROI. I loved South of Midnight, but running that studio for 7 years of development is a drain. To be fair, it probably was a hindrance for the studios as well, because it allowed them to take their time and slow down production, since their budgets weren't a issue with MS backing. When you have big system seller IP like Fallout and Elder Scrolls, you don't need to worry about smaller projects unfortunately. That's why ABK used Raven and Toys for Bob as COD support. I think Asha is seeing that they can get great GamePass content from small 3rd party studios, and not take on the liability of running them. Expedition 33 and Palworld exceeded anything they could do in house, and when something like Flinklock fails, it can easily be overlooked. They are running into an issue where they have too much content, and these smaller titles would not move the needle for console sales or subscriptions. It's sad, but I understand the business side of it. I kind of wish that Xbox just spun off the little guys as their own "indie" style division to work on smaller quirky titles with smaller budgets and quicker turnaround, but something like that would take time, that I'm not sure they have.

  @MrViceKC @GoodGameKofi Like I said I would love to see the Liver service everywhere, single player exclusive strategy. Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls 6 alone move a lot of consoles, but not if you can just get them on your PlayStation.

  @lrbrazao @asha_shar They've gone the Live Service route, they'll milk that **** for all it's worth. You won't be seeing a new Fallout or Elder Scrolls any time soon, when they can keep milking you on DLCs and Microtransactions.

  @TheGamingLedger I mean she is in a very tough position. Obviously no one is expecting games like Minecraft, Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls Online, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Candy Crush etc to be exclusive to Xbox. All Xbox fans want is some games to be exclusive. Fable should've never been ported to playstation at all. You have an argument with Halo, Gears and Forza because those are live service games. I dont expect the Forza, Sea of thieves franchise to ever be exclusive to Xbox again. If they want to port Halo mutliplayer they should do along with Gears. However, Halo Combat evolve and Gears E day campaign should've never been ported to Playstation. If none of "Xbox tentpole titles" are exclusive anymore I hope they have a strategy to make new Xbox mascots to replace them in the new era of XBOX. Thats the least they can do to appease fans in my opinion

  Dan (@dan_mphillips) reported 30 minutes ago

  @Colteastwood The only winning move by Xbox is going back to full exclusivity except for live service games and Call of Duty and Minecraft Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Diablo, Crackdown, Dishonored, Starfield, etc all exclusive would sell boxes. PC a year delayed

  @Ak11810723K I think TES VI probably won’t have the same loading screen issues as Starfield. The problem with Starfield wasn’t just the engine. It was the game’s structure. Traveling frequently involved moving between separate spaces such as your ship, space, and planetary locations, often with loading screens in between. If TES VI is a more traditional Elder Scrolls game with one large world, loading screens may feel much less intrusive, even if caves and interiors still have them. That said, I hope there are fewer loading screens than in Skyrim. By today’s standards, having a loading screen every time you enter a cave, dungeon, city, or building would still feel like a lot…

  @Andy_VGC Part of the problem with Xbox is they are too hands off and just let devs make whatever they want, which doesn't always result in success. Obsidian should be doing Fallout and Elder Scrolls spinoffs while Bethesda do the mainline games.

  @Ylliaster @temp_anon1 Black Myth Wukong, Borderlands 4, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Mindseye, and some more. Honestly, I think the problems with UE5 are mostly over hated since people don't upgrade hardware, but the fact is that these bad ports absolutely exist and there are absolutely diminishing returns.

  @TESOnline @TheJackalAgenda What I want to see happen with ESO as the game continues to evolve is the pure classes actually to FEEL Close to the lore. Each should have a key strength and weakness. The entire combat system should revolve around that, not a meta. A Sorc should be the king of ranged AOE/Bombs, weak up close, or no shields. A Nightblade should be the king of single-target damage and deleting any player (burst), scaled from their health/armor if they take the time to hunt undetected. But it's the sacrifice of being a glass cannon. An Arcanist should be the king of ranged single-target damage. And a Dragonknight should be the king of toe-to-toe battles, one-on-one, but not as bursty, but very strong defensively, as the standard well-balanced of all, but not superior to the rest. Right now, you have kill screens filled with me, too, DKs, and it's like watching the Clone Wars in Cyro. But each of these characters should be a toolbox in its own right for vet players. Is there a necro tank that refuses to die? Grab the Arcanist beam to the face, huge DOT, and problem solved. Are there nightblades all over the little village? Grab the sorc and start raining huge AOE’s to reveal and drop. A pesky Templar that won't go down? Grab the Dragonknight. But the combat system has felt for years like it was tailored to the sets and mythics rather than to specific characters to upgrade your toolkit. I was deeply disappointed in this video when Asmon who I enjoy flat out walked away from camera for two whole minutes during your game showcase. Then I had to look up why. And apparently, he criticized the combat system in 2019, saying it was clunky and dropped the game entirely, though he noted it was beautiful. That should concern you. These things should make sense to the average player. Feel like a quiet solo night hunting alone? Nightblade. Feel like brawling it out in a fistfight with a large group. DK. Want to try ranged bombing? Arcanist. But tie it all together, please make the story and the battles make sense with the combat instead of making one way overpowered character (DK), everyone copies, and you get the same kill screen. Otherwise, you are going to turn average NEW players away, and I really love this game a lot to go forever, especially all the friends I've made :) See where I'm going? I don't want to play the meta, I want to play what fits my playstyle and themes for that mood. Why wouldn't a High Elf magika Sorc be the best for PVP instead of stamina? So keep going, EVEN if it ruffles the feathers of the sweaties who don't want change or to keep it the same old same. Those people retire and need to be replaced over time anyway, and you want to sell more shinys, right? Please pass it on @TESOnline

  Been a huge problem for a long time. In 11 years we’ve only got 2 mainline halo games. In 10 years only 2 mainline gears of war games. Not to mention the mess with Bethesda. 11 years since the last fallout, 15 years since the last elder scrolls

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Hello! RachealLivespent275 is my username for pc na eso. I’ve been playing since right before murkmire. Nowadays, there’s a serious memory leak issue. I even disabled all adding thinking it was that, but my fps eventually dipped to the point I get booted from the game and can’t log in for 5minutes. Groups kick my toon and I lose tons of potential experience.

  @TESOnline Also, @TESOnline, one thing I’d like to see change for the future. There's one huge problem in Grayhost Cyrodill, and it dulls the game. NOBODY WANTS TO DIE, and I'm not talking about coordinated ball groups; I'm talking about other solo players where eight people are chasing them, and they can not only wipe all of them but heal through everything. I'm a solo and a fight die repeat, no biggie. But the endless chases where one person can stop play so we can’t move on to something new are annoying. If they are good to 1 v 3, fine, but NOT entire armies for one person. Make some bunker buster sets and mythics, please and thanks :)
