Dark Rictor (@DarkRictor) reported@TESOnline Wow, I thought people were being too hard on this, but they were right. Solo Veteran Dungeon: No problem. Solo one mob in Night Market: F#ck No!
-
Ron Paul🇺🇲 (@alienteslax) reported@TESOnline It's laggy as it is most of the time you have to double tap for the abilities to work, sometimes triple tap and you wanna add a cross play? People are just gonna leave, I'm on console and every time I'm doing a trial or even a dungeon the lag is unreal. I'm on fiber btw.

WeinCruz5000 (@WCruz5000) reported@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.

R̺͆o̺͆n̺͆n̺͆i̺͆e̺͆B̺͆l̺͆a̺͆z̺͆3̺͆ (@RonnieBlaz3) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline last “maintenance”caused server issues on my end. Even more than usual -Micro freezes/stutters in all zones includes PvP/BG where in PvP Freezes/Stutters is a massive issue -Grass textures constantly popping in/out causing frame drops -FIX THE SERVER! -4070Ti super i513600k 32gb

Bojanglatron (@Bojanglablonic) reported@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.

Y Chromosome 99 (@YChromosome99) reported@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.
-
Rowan Thomas Lumb (@rtelumb) reported@KentonVarda Morrowind Elder Scrolls was almost liek this... The areas were distinct.. didn't level difficulty based on your character level... and although you could fast travel through certain towns, it was a paid service and didn't go everywhere Atmospherically Morrowind > Oblivion for sure
-
Magic Sister (@magicmacabre) reported@alienteslax @TESOnline I’m on console and I don’t lag.

Jared Shapiro (@GetFitWithJared) reported@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.

Christina Sali (@MoonBeamFlare) reported@TESOnline Night market quest starter not in the store. The map is broken...can't back out of the zone to see the rest of the map. Everything is hitting way too hard. It's just trash content.
-
Nowa (@Gamer_Girl_Nowa) reportedWe gotta beat elder scrolls YouTubers with the mace of molag bal for spewing the **** that oblivion leveling is bad and remaster fixed it when the issue is the unique pool is still level scaled horribly and enemy pool of levels still is just reach a breakpoint and its all ogres
-
. (@Poopikinz) reported@TESOnline This is all great, but can you fix control layout B? You don't junk until you Release the thumbstick. Imagine if you didn't jump until you released the face button. It's awful and has been broken for years now.
-
Trevor Rieger (@trevorriegerxxx) reportedThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered by publisher Bethesda Softworks has not received a formal PC patch since Update 1.2 was released in July 2025. Frame rates dropping and traversal stuttering are still a problem for players.
-
Диж (@dgenius78) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Hello! My ticket #260419-002356 has been stuck for 3 days. I can't access my new Gold Road purchase due to a Steam linking error. I've provided all the proof in the ticket. Please help me get into the game! #ESO #ElderScrollsOnline

♡Kara (@Hexodyte) reported@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
-
Trevor Rieger (@trevorriegerxxx) reportedThe 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.
-
onepiece (@onepiece9681) reported@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

B (@ami_emsk) reported@TESOnline FIX YOUR GAME OMG TRYING TO DO A TRAIL IS IMPOSSIBLE
-
Silaf (@Asmoden3) reported@RyanStrifePlays @TESOnline Yes 2 team BG was a design error. 8 vs 8 was fun but all the others modes can disappear forever as an error.
-
hellbender 🔱 🇵🇸 (@gasgasgas3) reported@Swurv__ CD wasn’t even that good. It’s a complete non issue to elder scrolls 6
-
Zendarius (@Zen_Darius) reported@Asmoden3 @TESOnline It's the replacement for daily/weekly endeavor seals and probably some of the missing daily login rewards

sky_comet (@skycomet1) reported@foxgirlfrot you could fix me,,,,,, yapping about dumb elder scrolls lore while being held WOULD fix me
-
Monday (@lxMondayxl) reported@Frogboyx1Gaming @asha_shar If Sony owned ABK/Zenimax. Xbox would never see Crash, Spyro, Call of duty (after contract is up) Starfield, Elder Scrolls and so on. Xbox is not trying to beat Playstation. They're trying to monetize them. While destroying their own brand. It's fine that only Xbox share games.
-
Peyote_Wolf (@Peyote_Wolf_TV) reported@TESOnline Will vengeance fix the 10+ yr old server issues in Cyro or BG? Or just a small revamp to ui so ppl can say.. oooh thats cool lol but servers will still be all fudged up
