  @nuhre_ I REALY want an Elder Scrolls 6. But from Bethesda as it was 10+ years ago, not Bethesda of today. I honestly want them to crash and burn before they make a 6th and ruin it like I know they will. They were my favorite, and they have lost favor.

  After 15 years of not working on a new Elder Scrolls game, Bethesda staff threaten to...*checks notes*...continue not working on an Elder Scrolls game.

  @KingFanMan He's just trying to do fan service after completely fking up the entire industry. Seriously 76 was nothing but a cash grab. The formula for fallout and elder scrolls games is fking easy, and you have entire genres to pull from for the writing. A chimp could have done his job.

  @UnderhiveScum @TESOnline You hope someone lost there job. Because there’s a glitch on a new update or something is inconvenient. 🙄 🙄🙄🙄

  @GamingSinceNES Two potential looming issues: 1). An entire generation has grown up without a mainline Elder Scrolls game. Will they care enough to have FOMO for something that they have gone years without. 2). Do people think BGS is still BGS after Starfield?

  @ItsYent @DerickZill @TheRealWizar This was the problem I found with Elder scrolls Online. I really did enjoy the game for many years, gameplay was awesome, but in their attempt to not have gear resets, you ended up with stale progression. 7 years in and still using crafted gear from 6 years ago.

  @SunnySideBot @9mmsmg Yeah the argue is retarded. They have immediately fired like 1000 or 1500 and another 1000 will be done by the end of the year because they were making games no one ******* wanted this. And with this also, xbox is demanding the studios they bought like bethesda to go back to making games people want and not more live service bullshit. Essentially they told them to actually start heavy dev on elder scrolls 6 instead od slow rolling **** cause of the live service game. Now idk how true this is cause its a rumor that Xbox leadership also told bethesda to not even think of another fallout game and gave that develop to obsidian for right now. Which makes sense cause elder scrolls 6 was announced a decade ago.

  @DaysBehindHQ @Pirat_Nation The problem is they did not utelized those Studio's strengths, How do you buy Bethsheda and not make a new Elder Scrolls game, or Obsidion and not make a new Pillars of Eternity!?

  “From hype to chaos 🎮🔥” @grok @TESOnline #ESO #ESO_JP #ESOFam “What’s happening with @TESOnline is a real shame, but it’s their own fault. I remember when I first started playing, I already had Morrowind, Summerset, Elsweyr, Greymoor, and Blackwood thanks to my father who bought them for me. Then came High Isle (2022) — I saved like crazy to get it. Necrom (2023) — I sold three Nintendo Switch games to afford it. And then my favorite arrived: Gold Road (2024), which I bought without any problems. I always looked forward with great joy to see what was coming each year. But then those damn developers changed everything: useless subclasses, they took away content, and once again kept patching to fix their own nonsense. In the end, it’s truly a pity.”

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Why has there been no response from anyone? I’ve deleted and reinstalled, and STILL can’t get onto ESO. This going on day 2 now, and I’m not the only one. If you guys bothered to actually read the replies to your tweet, you’d see that. Fix this, and comp us. This is ridiculous!

  @lastchalice You use *Oblivion Remastered* as an argument that *The Elder Scrolls VI* needs to be released on PlayStation. But people overlook an important detail: *Oblivion* is part of a strategy defined years ago under the leadership of Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond as part of "Project Latitude" when the priority was expanding Xbox games to other platforms. Strategies change. Leadership changes. The market changes. If Asha Sharma truly intends to rebuild the value of the Xbox brand, *The Elder Scrolls VI* is precisely the kind of game that should remain exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem. We are talking about an IP capable of selling consoles, strengthening Game Pass, giving consumers a clear reason to choose Xbox, and even weakening the competition's catalog in the next generation. Exclusivity has never been a problem for Sony, Nintendo, or any company looking to strengthen its ecosystem. On the contrary, it creates an identity for the platform. Xbox's biggest mistake was abandoning that differentiator; now, they are going to pursue it more aggressively. And that is absolutely right: if you want to play games from Bethesda, ABK, and Xbox Game Studios, buy an Xbox, subscribe to Game Pass, or buy the game on Steam—PlayStation and Switch won't have access to these games anymore!

  @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.

  Opening quest broken, no response from @TESOnline - rogue’s house not counting all 4 fragments. You didn’t get it right.

  @JuiceHead33 Maybe they should improve how they develop their games so they’re not broken pieces of ****. It’s been too long since their last Elder Scrolls game, unacceptable.

  Alexandre (@Alexandre99665) reported 27 minutes ago

  @LaresIsaac14 @eXtas1stv I had forgotten about Call of Duty. It's such a massive release that Game Pass doesn't make up for the lost sales. If they really do end day-one releases, The Elder Scrolls VI will probably be the second franchise to arrive on the service a year later.

  Whether the game was good or bad, very much a not so good entry into elder scrolls franchise, theres a serious problem of companies stripping funds and resources from one game to another while the game suffers bad, just straight milking the fanbase for bare minimum in return

  @kiwitalkz "At this point, Elder Scrolls 6 might as well be the next Half-Life 3, a myth." It already was... that's part of the problem. 15 years since the last mainline Elder Scrolls game release, 8 years since the announcement teaser... So many rereleases of the same games...

  monke (@air_bagged) reported 32 minutes ago

  @GenePark The thing with exclusives is that I have a 300 games backlog on PC and I can live without Elder Scrolls or God Of War. Especially after Starfield. Most PC players think the same and nobody buying 2 consoles at 1000$+ each next gen without physical media. The crash is here.

  @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.

  @MA_Tazerz @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Same. Are we gonna have to reinstall all our mods and fix all our mod settings we've had forever?

  Psycho-Froggy (@PsychoFr0ggy) reported 45 minutes ago

  @JuiceHead33 I think that it shouldn’t take a decade to get another elder scrolls game. We went from Morrowind to Oblivion in 3-4 years. Oblivion to Skyrim in 5. There is clearly issues at Bethesda if they can’t manage to get a single game out that they announced more than a decade ago.

  I think we needed Starfield to happen so we could collectively lower our expectations for The Elder Scrolls 6. Because let’s be honest even when it does inevitably come out. It’s gonna be broken with a million problems that will take months to fix.

• 
  PlayLaughLogan (@PlayLaughLogan) reported 50 minutes ago

  @JuiceHead33 The actual problem is that most of the time we spend waiting isn't the same time that they're spending making the game. Skyrim came out in 2011 and they only *started* active development of Elder Scrolls 6 in 2023.

  The Bethesda Address today screams to me, a level of desperation to maintain a calm temperature to the fans. Gamers should never have been asked to wait 10-15 years for a mainline Fallout or Elder Scrolls game, while you milk wallets for a live service game in Fallout 76, a title that no one cares about. Phil should’ve done something about this years ago, but it took a woman from Wisconsin who doesn’t play games to get in that *** and shake things up. Bethesda is on a hidden timer, and I’m still not sure they’re going to deliver. @XBOX

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline so my game finished reinstalling like 30 minutes ago and its still broken.

  Alonso A (@WaifusTrash) reported 56 minutes ago

  @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.

  God Emperor SofaKing (@clevercolt64) reported 56 minutes ago

  This is the ******* problem with fans, constantly defending devs. Literally if this dumbass would’ve actually read the message that Bethesda put out They didn’t even start production on fallout 5 and this ************ is wondering why people are getting fired they’re getting fired because they’re not ******* doing what people want them to do. They’re not making games people want. We’re literally 15+ years on waiting on a new elder scrolls, title and some of us will be ******* dead before we even play fallout five

  @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.

  ArchRabbit (@ArchRabbitTV) reported 60 minutes ago

  @TESOnline Somehow, you’ve got to fix that first quest because we’ve got bought account spamming the button making it so that nobody can get in or you’ve got people being impatient going in and out blocking other people from going in being toxic like no other
