  @BethesdaStudios As a die-gard Elder Scrolls fan and a huge Fallout fan, this all sounds dreamy, fine and dandy. Issue is when this all is coming out. I am also worried about the quality of the games, but more about release dates. We dob't expect an exact date, but at least an approximate year/s.

  @vicious696 Elder Scrolls VI exclusive for PC, XBOX Series X|S, Helix & XCloud. I don’t see the issue tbh

  Bethesda developers say layoffs became a yearly problem after Microsoft took over ZeniMax. Alex Nguyen, a Bethesda lead character artist, said layoffs were rare before the acquisition. He says employees were usually given time to fix problems, even after difficult launches like Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online. “Since we’ve been under Microsoft… we didn’t have layoffs before, and now we all of a sudden have yearly layoffs,”

  @TheAnnaji They’ve fixed a majority of the gameplay problems but the world is still very boring and sanitized compared to the elder scrolls and fallout.

  @CTPhipps1980 @RazorFist No one’s saying every programmer or artist decided to delay Elder Scrolls VI, but the issue is that Bethesda expanded its workforce while its output and quality took a nose dive the last 15+ years. Layoffs are a consequence of the studio’s overall severe lack of performance.

  @SynthPotato With Fallout and Elder Scrolls it’s only for interiors and maybe big cities. The main problem with Starfield is that you have so many loading screens switching planets. Boarding the ship, leaving planet, traveling to new planet, entering planet, leaving ship. Every time a ls

  @AlexMindTricks @nuhre_ It’s a generational game ppl have been waiting to play for 10+ years with ridiculous hype. It’s going to make like a billion dollars bro. That doesn’t mean the industry can pretend they have GTA 6, not even Bethesda could sell Elder scrolls 6 for that much. It’s capitalism bro, supply and demand, GTA 6 is gonna be a live service game that is extremely popular for the next 2 decades. That doesn’t mean game devs are gonna start selling the new call of duty for $100, almost nobody would buy that **** for $100, but millions of people would buy GTA 6 for $500, let alone $100. It’s a product which is highly desired and therefore worth a **** ton, that’s capitalism, otherwise they’d sell it for less

  I love Creation Engine. Proprietary 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.

  > I don't think Elder Scrolls will suffer that fate despite all the glaring issues of Skyrim to lifelong fans, it remains well respected enough I think TES 6 will sell gangbusters, but if TES 6 is FO76/Starfield quality I think TES will die painfully afterwards. >

  @TESOnline Please fix the drop rate for the new Breton plans that drop in Daggerfall area. The purple plans are still not dropping.

  @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.

  @PatManJones62 @JezCorden Mate it means nothing to me anyways I own both but the issue is sales. If they want to actually make money maybe they should release on all platforms I'm adamant they should of brought spiderman to Xbox as well I'm saying elder scrolls deserves better treatment

  @DreamsNStardust @Mikester430 @ColdCriti Haven’t played Elder Scrolls but Fallout NV and 4 definitely have some great open worlds. 3 I wasn’t too big a fan of. Also yeah it would have been cool to have some settlements in ER for sure. I think that’s a valid complaint but for me this wasn’t a huge issue personally.

  @k1llegal_ I’ve been an Xbox fan first for the majority of my life. They screwed up too many times (with the last straw being 2024’s multiplatform strategy) and for the most part lost me. All of Xbox’s issues come from their own baffling mistakes. They’ve earned the criticism. Having said that, I own all of the systems and will be buying Gears E-Day on my Series X. I’m not a platform warrior. I’m a consumer who cares about the games. Xbox has every right to make Elder Scrolls exclusive because they own it, but I think it would be a ****** thing to do to take it away from Sony and Nintendo who have had those games for up to 20 years. No one has ever had Insomniacs Spiderman and Wolverine besides PlayStation, and as an internal first party studio no one should. Though, if they came to Xbox why should I care? More people get to play them, though I think it would be a terrible business decision, much like Xbox’s push away from exclusives over the last few years.

  @DanticsOfficial Could they fix it? Sure, but would people rather them work on the next Elder Scrolls or Fallout instead? I’m sure it’s possible to make a good Skyrim in space, but would they rather use Starfield as a platform to sell paid mods? Seems that way to me.

  Kloot that’s not the problem. Is there anyone in the world saying I must get a xbox for gamepass? Thats the Crux of issue If you make elder scrolls 6 exclusive yeah thats what ppl say. The problem is the numbers might not be there to do that and keep day one. It’s all headed towards exclusives and huge AAA being exclusive but no day and date. Been saying this for 5 months. Starting to roost.

  @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

  @Reply_Addict The problem is that starfield makes it really obvious. In Elder Scrolls or Fallout you get a loading screen when entering a house or city. With Starfield you get like 6 loading screens just by switching a planet. Starfield was just too much

  @Opethftw @pcgamer Got you talking about it 9 years later. The dev team of 76 is a studio that works specifically on live service games. It’s not people in bgs that could be working on the next elder scrolls or fallout.

  @JamieMoranUK They do cost more you're absolutely right but there are some successful live service games out there Just look at Bethesda and how long they've done Fallout 76 An elder scrolls Online those games have a ton of players Sea of Thieves did at one point I'm not sure what it is now

  Is Halo 7 out yet? (@Halo_HypeGuy) reported 1 hour ago

  @lastchalice @XBOXTIMDOG And that's exactly why Xbox should make Elder Scrolls and other non-live service games full exclusives. If they go all in like the 360 era, Sony is cooked with their 1sr party network in shambles, most 3rd parties going full multiplatform and player trust dissolved.

  @TESOnline How about fixing the exploits and glitches ruining PvP? You are losing players. I know it’s an old game but you still want your money every month on time. It’s impossible to fight a group of cheaters using the armory glitch to acquire every mundus stone in the game. Shame
