    @Foxhound_N10 @TESOnline Is not funny is a common problem. And potions can be pretty costly to make if you want the best.

    @neontaster Again the problem of their bad management probably still exists. Wanting Elder Scrolls, Fallout, ect games out quicker does not make them come out quicker if management is still bad.

    is Elder Scrolls Online down for anyone else? I keep getting an error code.

    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. It's been so long between entries, I really think a new reveal is in order with a title reveal. Even an in engine short teaser would do wonders for us Elder Scrolls fans. 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

    @FilmsFallout Since it sounds like bungie will be making a Borderlands live service game instead of another Destiny game, so glad I have Fallout and Elder Scrolls to fall back on

    ArchRabbit (@ArchRabbitTV) reported

    @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

    @pasta_wheat @Paladin000Xbox @asha_shar I’d probably buy the game then. The same thing I did a decade ago for elder scrolls V. Gamepass is a nice a service but it’s unsustainable long term. Btw COD still is going to game pass. Just 1 year later.

    @AnimateZed Nobody cares about ESO man just like nobody cares about Fallout 76. Live service slop and it’s a main reason neither elder scrolls or fallout has gotten a main line game in what over a decade. Todd told Microsoft 2 generations ago when they bought out Bethesda NEW ELDER SCROLLS

    @FodderTier @kiwitalkz There were an incredible amount of updates to their engine for Starfield. Its graphics are very underrated and only held back by a few lighting and LoD issues. Far from wasted time if these updates provide a better final product for Elder Scrolls and Fallout.

    @grlicking @RedDeadDovah @TESOnline Game consistently disconnects still. I’m in the game right now and got disconnected an hour ago. Devs don’t listen. Years ago we told them about Cyro problems. They didn’t care to fix it.

    @GameReviewGuy It doesn't matter. Most play live service. Of the rest most won't move or they'll go to PC. Sony has never been about the exclusives. It's the third party that sells PlayStation. Elder Scrolls/Fallout do offer an interesting test of that but for sure Halo/Forza wont move anyone

    @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.

    @JuiceHead33 18 years or more to make the next Elder Scrolls. Bethesda clearly has a serious problem. Most of the leading staff should be immediately fired.

    @grlicking @RedDeadDovah @TESOnline I mean I actually recorded my self putting gear on, and showing how to enable a cheat that makes a player unkillable with it. They didn’t fix it for a year man. A year. No. This needed to happen.

    @TESOnline I downloaded a patch on 13 July, game won’t let me sign in. Deleted game from my PS5, reinstalled, still won’t let me log in. What do I need to do? I saw some comments about deleting saved data but too scared I’ll lose all progress and ££££ I’ve spent.

    @J_C_Lovecraft @memeslich there is a version you can buy on GoG that is compatible with most modern systems. also, the instruction booklet has a great recipe for banana bread. the ownership of the IP is now in microsoft's hands, i been joking for years they should get bethesda to take the IP over. they got fantasy (elder scrolls) and technological (fallout) so one that combines the two would fit well. only problem with that idea, its bethesda we're talking about lol.

    @TKsMantis Issue is, at this point I dont even think a fallout, wolfenstein, doom or even quake will save them. Elder scrolls will most likely just delay their doom. The company has lost the talent.

  • kiwitalkz
    Reece “Kiwi Talkz” Reilly (@kiwitalkz) reported

    @MAJ_Starman You dont think it was irresponsible to release a trailer for Elder Scrolls 6 in 2018 when the game wasn't even in development?? TES 6 didnt start production until late 2023, 5 years after the announcement. Fallout 5 couldve been given to Obsidian to make years ago. Bethesda prints money, my issue is with how they have managed the POTENTIAL of Elder Scrolls and Fallout given how MASSIVE those IP are.

    @JezCorden I really am. It does make me sad how hard you are on Xbox sometimes. I get some people don't like job cuts, but she's fixing a problem that she didn't create. They bought a million studios during covid to boost game pass and obviously it didn't work. They are draining 60 cents out of every 100 keeping dead studios alive. And like Asha said there are like 13 levels of management at times. I get that they also cut other people but some of those roles could have been redundancies that weren't necessary. Remember some of these games took 10 years to make a game that would barely make any money. Some of these studios are not doing the work they need to do. I don't like exclusives but it's definitely the way to get people to buy Xbox in the future. Getting all of their popular titles actually released. Personally I don't think they released elder scrolls 6 because they were trying to milk the MMO for as long as they can. So they didn't prioritize development. Phil Spencer let the studios do whatever they wanted and he was praised because people were worried that Microsoft would get too involved. But studios were allowed to do very little to nothing for 8 years and get away with it. All to release some indie game no one would buy even on PlayStation. People are making all these videos about Xbox dying and they have been for weeks but it's silly. It was dying. She saw the issues. She's addressing them. The toughest issue yet is the console pricing but everyone is dealing with that. She's not getting close to enough credit. People get in their feelings about Job losses and I can understand why but Sony ditched almost the same amount of employees too. They barely got any flack. I get Windows Central and other places should be neutral but we also need people to stand against all the PS5 fanboys who are just hating on Xbox to justify their purchases. We need people to bring balance. To say yes. Xbox was in a crap situation but IT IS better. We have game pass. We have a better subscription service than sony. We have Xbox play Anywhere which is massive for people with gaming handhelds or PCS. I saved so much money being able to play games on both handheld and console. And we have a bright future with great exclusive games and high-end titles that most of us want to play rather than boring titles none of us would buy. I think she's doing great. Even if it has been rough times

    @RinoTheBouncer That 2011 outage is why I left PlayStation but if I can I will get a PS6, its going to have more than double the install base of the next Xbox (if Xbox even makes a console). Really pissed about the discs though, since the word was the PS6 was also going to play PS4 and PS5 Discs.....and I was looking forward to getting a number of PS4 and PS5 games I missed out on. I assume those games will play on the PS6 but they will be digital and probably not nearly as inexpensive. I'll have GTA VI eventually........unless I get it as a gift I really don't care about the game very much......the way people feel about GTA VI is how I feel about The Elder Scrolls VI. Someone dumping shares when you know they had to have taken a hit as well, it sadly typical.......I would have held for a little while longer. Sure people are big mad against PlayStation right now but if you were like "Playstation 6 Coming Holiday 2027 Pre Order Now"........it would be sold out and on backorder before the commercial was even over. Maybe, Maybe they can have an all digital future.......but why not an "OPTIONAL" Disc Drive with it? Even if there are 0 PS6 games on Discs, people would still want to play movies on it (4K Discs among other formats) as well as maybe discs from the PS4 and PS5. Since we all know Sony is going to make you buy it again if you don't already own a digital copy of a game you also own on disc. Then by the time PS7 comes out people would be as fully integrated as possible with the digital formats.....probably well over 95% of all sales by then or 100% if its the only format.

    @HazzadorGamin However in between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, they also released Skyrim....uh the original Skyrim, not one of the many re-releases that is. Now they don't do that. So the problem isn't necessarily the dev time of Elder Scrolls 6 and how long it's taking it's they released that

    Let’s pretend that 15 year gaps between a series is okay. Let’s just pretend that’s fine. Let’s pretend that you really need all this extra time to make it just right, even though Skyrim took only 7 years and they also released fallout 3 in between. Let’s pretend that Bethesda is pushing out rockstar level of quality games. Let’s pretend that you can actually justify the timetables with the level of polish. Let’s pretend every Bethesda game has been bug free and never had any technical issues at launch. And Let’s also pretend that if they did, they were swiftly patched and fixed and wouldn’t still be suffering on a particular Japanese console years after release. Let’s pretend that it’s critical for Todd Howard to touch every aspect of the game. Let’s pretend he is the only key to success. Why in Oblivion would you NOT allow other companies to run spin offs of the IP. Why WOULDN’T you push for a New Vegas 2? From purely a business decision how does it not make sense to have Elder scrolls spin offs? Not even a small RTS game? Really? Can ANYONE actually explain how this makes a lick of sense when New Vegas has become the cult classic? Any excuse beyond pettiness? Beyond selfishness?

    @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...
