    @TESOnline That all those people lost their jobs because Microsoft is a greedy money grubbing can't say those words on here. The best thing Microsoft could do is hire them back right now. Or elder scrolls and all that money will go bye-bye. We don't want your maintenance problems Microsoft.

    @CultureCrave Released Skyrim in 2011, took unit 2018 to even announce elder scrolls 6..... And we're now in 2026. Honestly, I couldn't give a **** about es6 at this point. Your focus now is live service, passion for elder scrolls lost and more money live service won. Stick it up your arse.

    @Its_Jabo The only people that play this game are women with no interest in the elder scrolls. This game has directly cost manpower needed working towards elder scrolls 6. More than that, though, companies will let a live service game run its course before they spend money on smth new

    @KhangiOST @Der_Kernel_ ...theres nothing to buy We asked for new elder scrolls and new Fallout and got MMO live-service games. I have no idea why bethesda hasn't been purged yet

    @voEROSttv I loved Elder Scrolls Online but just like with WoW, I really didn’t enjoy the raids. Raids are great if you enjoy the DPS as a group but I like to see what my character can do without the chaos. Also I have a customer service job, I don’t want to socialize very much in the game. Sounds weird I know but I do love the quests.

    @Sir_Crow_ @Super_Nothing @UESP_net Because bethesda answers to their parent company, zenimax media. Zenimax media didn't want BGS to put out an elder scrolls game while ESO, a live service game set in the same universe, was still generating profit. The same reason no Fallout was being worked on.

    @TongueToad @TKsMantis If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I think for games like RDR and GTA it's fine. Bethesda however I would say it's worse there because let's be honest Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Starfield, they all look, feel and play exactly the same, down to the UI and while on the one hand

  • doomseerjones
    Doomseer Jones (@doomseerjones) reported

    @UESP_net The 7 years burnt on Starfield could’ve produced both a new Elder Scrolls and new Fallout game, and had it done so, there’d be a lot less people losing their jobs right now. What an unforced error…

    @drggon52 @TESOnline I'm concerned about how much lag this can potentially generate.

    @TheGameVerse Bethesda will never get rid of that **** engine! Expect shitloads more loading screens in Fallout and Elder Scrolls VI as well as launch day bugs that will STILL BE THERE DECADES LATER bc Todd & his team are too ******* lazy to fix them! Case in point: While playing Oblivion Remastered I had to touch the Sigil Stones to close the Oblivion gates and transit back to Cyrodill but it wouldn’t work. Had to look it up AND FOUND OUT IT’S A ******* BUG FROM THE ORIGINAL 2006 LAUNCH VERSION! THEY NEVER FIXED IT! IT’S A 20 YEAR OLD BUG! I had to go into the menu and toggle the graphics settings to trigger the transition!😭😭😭 Fuckn **** legacy studio.😒

    @AndreBelluzzo @kabrutusdeid The size of the game is not a relevant issue to me. I didn't call them amazing, I just said the games were tasteful. The Oblivion remake is what many Elder Scrolls fans have asked for: a 1:1 update with glitches included. I wouldn't call it amazing, but it's tasteful. And in a world where $ 70–$80+ games exist, they listed it at $50. It's not Game of the Year, but it's a totally fine game for people who've wanted to replay Oblivion without it looking like a potato. Bethesda is a horribly managed company, but this was not a miss.

    maddy catgirlprostate (@catgirlprostate) reported

    The real issue isn't the 15 year wait between game releases, it's the fact that the elder scrolls 6 got announced 8 ******* years ago and is supposedly still 3+ years away Like they didn't have to show the damn PNG if they knew they weren't even gonna start for years

  • AlexWalason
    Alex Walason (@AlexWalason) reported

    While I'm very happy that Xbox plans on investing more in The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, my one concern is that I don't want them to turn The Elder Scrolls into a vending machine of spin offs. 15 years is way too long between games, but we don't want the opposite issue where there's too much of it. What I think @Xbox should do is make The Elder Scrolls have a bigger impact when it comes to media. I see so much Fallout merch, and even annual gatherings, it would be nice to see The Elder Scrolls get that same treatment, especially with Elder Scrolls being my favorite game franchise. I also think that we are due for a new trailer for TES VI. I definitely love Bethesdas short reveal to release window, but I think pulling back the curtain ever so slightly on TES VI would be a good thing. They can still save a full reveal for a later date. This year marks 15 years since Skyrim, so I can't think of a better time on the topic of Fallout, I don't mind if other studios get to do a spin off. It happened with New Vegas while BGS was busy with Skyrim, so I don't see a reason why it shouldn't happen again. Or a remaster of Fallout 3 even, which is apparently coming. More remasters would do wonders. #Elderscrolls #Fallout

    @AgentOink You can have loading screens without necessarily breaking the immersion. Starfield did not achieved that and made the loading screens „problem“ more obvious than a Fallout or Elder Scrolls.

    @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

    @HazzadorGamin BGS has always made games that the majority don't care about. The entire Elder Scrolls series, for example. Fallout, for example. Everything BGS does is for a niche audience. Skyrim stands out, but it is not the rule. Their problem is execution, not concept.

    @grlicking @RedDeadDovah @TESOnline Here is why I said that. Played since Beta until a year ago. Over that time I have submitted numerous cheats and bugs. Some of those were never fixed and others took a year to fix. Like multiple mundus, 4 plus sets being worn, map clipping underground and able to kill players.

    @ther3n3gad3 Great point of view, he messed up badly in '76, and even more so with the game's decisions. They still have the problem with the graphics engine, and they have to deliver The Elder Scrolls; they have a lot to worry about.

  • frogpitgaming
    VG Frogman (@frogpitgaming) reported

    @RedDeadDovah @TESOnline They genuinely believe that successful live service games are "set and forget". They don't understand why a live service game that is already successful would need more than a skeleton crew. I don't think they would understand it even if you explained it with crayon drawings.

    @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

    @_Deez_Games It is good news for all their franchises. I welcome it But the problem is that we should be talking fallout 6 and elder scrolls 7 coming out soon. They should be doing concept work for fallout 7 and elder scrolls 7/8 by now, not just starting fallout 5

  • KingFanMan

    @TKsMantis The is no doubt been complete mismanagement of their two biggest games. How do you go over 10 years without even working on a single player Fallout or Elder Scrolls? Only problem, the ones who made that decision are still there.

    @RozzelcopterTV @PlayStation That's a live service game. You do realise that once Bethesda EoS'ed Elder Scrolls Online, your physical copy will become useless right? 🙃 It'll happen, but not anytime soon... but Xbox layoffs is making me not hopeful
