    That part about major cities was one of my huge criticisms. It's already something of an issue with prior Elder Scrolls games, because after Morrowind everything is a walled city with little sprawl, and major settlements always had sprawl in reality. However, Starfield has basically bland nothing beyond their cities. At least Cyrodiil or Skyrim are beautiful when off roading, but Starfield just...has nothing, and because it has nothing it feels smaller for it. The game already feels like every other system beyond the major ones is an irrelevant nothing, but when your major settlements are a singular stamp sized mark on a whole planet it just accentuates how tiny everything is. You don't even have the excuse of, "we scaled **** down from how the lore says it was" with this one. That's just a choice, a lazy one.

    @BethesdaStudios Do people play Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online? I read the numbers…I don’t know anyone who personally does. I tried 76 with a buddy and we enjoyed it for a minute but it was a massive glitch fest and that was like two years ago.

    @FussyPastor Prompt was iterated on: Build an explorable 3D RPG world in Three.js based on the attached image. It has to feel like Elder Scrolls daggerfall in feel, FPS RPG, with collision detection, no clipping or defects on geometry, AAA visuals with HDR lighting and shadow shaders, target 60fps, split all the work into sub agents like terrain, props/geometry, materials/textures, lighting, physics, controls/camera, performance. Assign one sub-agent per stream. Each sub-agent owns its stream end to end and reports what it built plus what is still weak. Integrate, then run a review pass: walk the world, list every visible defect, fix them. Repeat till you get it perfect

    @reishiGrowth Again, they announced elder scrolls 6 in like. 2017 or something. Cyberpunk was announced in like 2014. (Actually... CDPR and Bethesda both seem to struggle with the same issue...)

    @aaniVibeTheory Idk fallout new vegas if you can polish it a bit and fix bugs without ****** up what was there. Elder scrolls Morowind too... if you mean an upgraded revamp the true crime streets series. Dont kill my wallet though fo an already made polish up. Bought it once prior save my wallet

    @_bryanisreal @fuckusernamejor @daviruz Remind me. Didn’t Elder Scrolls 5 have micro transactions that started the whole mess we are in currently? I don’t see the issue in grinding levels. They were trying something new? It’s a good game On its own

  • WaifusTrash
    Alonso A (@WaifusTrash) reported

    @SynthPotato It was a massive problem for Starfield because everything needed a loading screen. This is not much of a problem in Elder Scrolls or Fallout. There is a lot more to explore and see between the loading screens. This is something that was severely lacking in Starfield.

  • hearthywatcher
    Hearthywatcher (@hearthywatcher) reported

    @KeezTheFlex @SentMush @Caffeinefunk 100% agree with this they have way more corporate bs that is their problem. Loading is more minor yet understandable qol. They dont even have the og lore guy for elder scrolls. Like wtf. The main lore guy for everything up to skyrim is gone. ES6 might be doo too from that alone.

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline game patch updated on ps5 and now i can’t get in the game saying “patch required please download and install” the patch is updated and won’t let me in, other guildies in discord having same problem

    @TESOnline Yall should really fix Cyrodill and Imperial City! There are some nerfs that are much needed, like the stamina/magica drain, make it fair again please! Can’t break free, roll dodge, or block… just stuck eating it… got the best gear build, it’s just the getting stuck thing.

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline why do you not TEST how a patch will work on all platforms? Im sure out of the 67 people that still work there yall got every platform. i spent money on ESO+ TODAY and i cant even log in. an yeah, i uninstalled and reinstalled the game didnt fix anything. been here since beta

    @asha_shar Can you please have Bethesda fix Oblivion remastered across all platforms before the Elder Scrolls 6 comes out.

  • Slade_AF
    Slade (@Slade_AF) reported

    @The_End_602 @valuetainment Lmfaooo, you're the clown, brother. All I own is PlayStations. I have a PS2, PS3, PS4, and PS5. I only own one Xbox, and that was a gift back in 2014. You're the problem with gamers nowadays; it's either one side or the other. Sony ****** up, and I will always call them out on their bullshit. Also, Asha is doing God's work on the Xbox side by whipping Bethesda into shape. Do you know how ******* long I've been waiting for a new Elder Scrolls game, let alone a Fallout 5 announcement? Hell yeah, she's doing better than Sony right now.

  • The_Soupinator
    Soup (@The_Soupinator) reported

    @WinC_Gaming Yeah that's the big problem. Exclusives mean nothing unless they have must-have games (released regularly) to back that plan up. Halo hasn't been that for a LONG time and they're going to need more than just Elder Scrolls 6 which is still years off.

  • FinalBoss_io
    FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported

    Nothing says “healthy industry” like an Elder Scrolls 6 demo under executive applause while a giant inflatable rat watches from outside. That rat is the more honest mascot. Xbox leadership gets the live playthrough, the talk about scale and story, the nice clean vision of the future. Outside, Bethesda workers are flying flags for people gutted by Microsoft’s 2026 layoffs and reminding everyone what that future is built on. This is the part the industry keeps trying to edit out: you do not get the prestige showcase without the labor, and you do not get to celebrate the craft while treating the people making it like a restructuring line item. The game isn’t the contradiction. The executive narrative is. If workers need an inflatable rat to make the real mood visible during your big fantasy RPG victory lap, the problem is not optics. It’s that the optics are accurate.

    @superprivatesgm @TESOnline @bethesda Trans carachters were in the exact summerset expansion you speak of and inclusive dialogue was in the game before that... Tanlorins problem is they are just horribly written.

    @KarolWalczak9 @pureMetatron What do you keep doing as time goes on? I gotta get back to that. I have this weird issue I run into with every Elder Scrolls since Morrowind that I spend too much time minmaxing, do random stuff eschewing the main quest, get bored then come back years later and repeat it's sad

    @fentanylbrownie "ubiquitous" in elder scrolls games but never really seen it be such a problem anywhere else. Elder scrolls melee combat is remarkably unfun that bypassing it with sneak is the default way to enjoy the game.

  • OrkyLegion
    Judge Wrath (@OrkyLegion) reported

    @basedbinkie Yes because the Elves in Elder Scrolls unironically are the reason for half the problems in the world

  • wesleytypes
    Wesley ✨ (@wesleytypes) reported

    I love Creation Engine. Propriety engines play a significant role in forming a game's identity and I would never wish that away. Bethesda is who they are in large part because of this engine. That said, to spend countless years and millions of dollars on a new game and NOT strive to break new ground or do something you haven't before feels like a waste. The Creation Engine hasn't shown a meaningful capacity to grow and change with modern gaming expectation and that's a problem. I still want Bethesda games to feel like Bethesda games, but if Creation Engine 3 doesn't massively impress and prove that it can deliver a truly modern gaming experience, it will be imperative that Bethesda make changes that I don't think they're willing to make. At this point, promising the future of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout on Creation Engine feels like a giant gamble.

    @kidthewiiz @NikTek Is there no way to middle ground it for something like Elder Scrolls 6 to fix their city population issues that people complained about in Skyrim? Have your run of the mi interactable NPC count and backfill with these shallow NPCs?
