    @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.

    Pusel (@PuselSpielt) reported

    @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

    @hard8_times Halo. Gears. Forza. Call Of Duty. Fallout. Elder Scrolls. Starfield. Doom. Quake. Wolfenstein. Sea Of Thieves. Spyro. Crash Bandicoot. Dishonoured. Diablo. Flight Simulator. Indiana Jones. Blade. Age Of Empires. Minecraft. You missed a few out...

    @TJ_B_6 @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I deleted and reinstalled, I've been able to login as normal. If you're having issues you could fill out the issue/bug form... can't remember what it called.

    @TESOnline When du you fix the bug that no one is allowed to go through the gate in first quest of the New Thievesguild???

    Im holding out hope for fallout, elder scrolls, and even a potential future starfield. If not, then I have no problem booting up old saves on either.

    Speedy (@Adienspeedy) reported

    @PurpleMNinja @Criminalsimpson Yeah, no problem. It was fun even if I don't do RPs often. An Elder Scrolls Steamed Hams RP? How does that work?

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Ps5 was logged in playing, went to get some food and can't login now. Forum says end time is 20.00 UTC.

    Pusel (@PuselSpielt) reported

    @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

    Prompt to create the main poster: Absolutely. I'd actually simplify it into a dedicated template focused solely on the wanted poster so it's easier to reuse. --- SKYRIM WANTED POSTER GENERATOR v1.0 Primary Character @Image1 = Character to appear on the wanted poster --- Optional User Inputs CHARACTER NAME: [Leave blank to infer] BOUNTY: [random] or [60,000,000] BOUNTY SYMBOL: [random] or [Septim Symbol] or [Septims] or [None] POSTER TITLE: [random] or [WANTED] or [FUGITIVE] or [MOST WANTED] or [ENEMY OF THE EMPIRE] CAPTURE STATUS: [random] or [DEAD OR ALIVE] or [ALIVE] or [DEAD] POSTER AUTHORITY: [random] or [The Empire] or [The Jarl of Whiterun] or [The Penitus Oculatus] or [The Vigilants of Stendarr] or [The Companions] or [Custom] CRIMES: [random] or [list your own] POSTER STYLE: [random] or [Imperial] or [Stormcloak] or [Ancient Nordic] or [Town Notice] or [Dark Brotherhood] or [Thieves Guild] or [Dawnguard] PORTRAIT POSE: [random] or [Front] or [Three Quarter] or [Looking Over Shoulder] or [Holding Weapon] or [Casting Magic] or [Smirking] or [Stoic] PAPER CONDITION: [random] or [Fresh] or [Weathered] or [Ancient] or [Burned Edges] or [Water Damaged] ASPECT RATIO: [random] or [2:3] or [3:4] or [4:5] --- CHARACTER RULES Use @Image1 as the absolute identity reference. Preserve: facial features hairstyle eye color body proportions ears, horns, tails, wings, or other species traits recognizable silhouette outfit identity unless intentionally redesigned personality and expression The finished poster should unmistakably depict the supplied character. --- WANTED POSTER Create a realistic Skyrim-style bounty poster that looks as though it has been hanging on an inn or city bulletin board for weeks. Include: aged parchment torn corners nail holes curled edges faded ink water stains soot marks weathering uneven medieval typography Everything should resemble an authentic Elder Scrolls document. --- PORTRAIT Illustrate the character as a hand-inked medieval sketch. Avoid modern rendering styles. The portrait should resemble an Imperial artist's depiction rather than a perfect painting. --- BOUNTY If BOUNTY is set to random, generate a fitting reward based on the notoriety of the listed crimes. Examples: 500 2,000 15,000 100,000 1,000,000 60,000,000 If BOUNTY SYMBOL is Septim Symbol, display the Septim emblem on both sides of the amount rather than using a modern currency symbol. --- CRIMES If CRIMES is random, invent an entertaining mix of Skyrim-appropriate offenses. Examples include: Poaching Stealing Sweet Rolls Assault Horse Theft Illegal Spellcasting Smuggling Moon Sugar Necromancy Pickpocketing Disturbing the Peace Murder Public Drunkenness Tax Evasion Harboring Daedra Chicken Theft Counterfeit Septims Looting Nordic Tombs Assaulting Guards Theft The Massacre of Dawnstar Arson Breaking into Dwemer Ruins Summoning Daedra Without Authorization Trespassing in Blackreach Punching Nazeem When randomized, vary the tone between serious, humorous, and absurd while keeping everything believable within Skyrim's world. --- AUTHORITY Display a footer reading: BY ORDER OF followed by the selected authority. If set to random, choose an organization that would realistically issue the bounty. --- ART STYLE Highly detailed Elder Scrolls realism. Authentic parchment. Natural ink illustration. Weathered medieval printmaking. No modern paper. No modern typography. No contemporary design elements. The final image should be convincing enough that a player could mistake it for an actual wanted poster found hanging inside a Skyrim inn, guard barracks, or city gate.

    I mean going by elder scrolls you only have a set backstory in 1 because our friendship is required for the story while everything else is more open ended outside of being a prisoner. I mean there 2 imperial agent but those guys can range in service and actions

    Luminous Beings are We… (@Lordofsparta) reported

    @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

  • GrimfelOfficial

    @abandonedmuse I think it just runs at a lower rate as I didn't max out usage 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

    @XboxTimdog Crash, elder scrolls, fallout, and maybe a couple others won’t be exclusive.

    @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

    @aaniVibeTheory Idk fallout new vegas if you can polish it a bit and fix bugs without ****** up what was there. Elder scrolls Morowind too... if you mean an upgraded revamp the true crime streets series. Dont kill my wallet though fo an already made polish up. Bought it once prior save my wallet

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

  • The_Soupinator
    Soup (@The_Soupinator) reported

    @WinC_Gaming Yeah that's the big problem. Exclusives mean nothing unless they have must-have games (released regularly) to back that plan up. Halo hasn't been that for a LONG time and they're going to need more than just Elder Scrolls 6 which is still years off.

  • cia_rumored
    CIA (@cia_rumored) reported

    @AndreBelluzzo @kabrutusdeid The size of the game is not a relevant issue to me. The game 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.

    @TESOnline And the game is broken yet again.

  • andymke
    andy (@andymke) reported

    @a_space_alien @JuiceHead33 Yes the long term employees can help develop new talent, but they're also the least likely to want to try something new the "We've always done it this way" mind set is powerful in long time workers "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" you might say, but 15 years and counting for a new Elder Scrolls game shows that something at Bethesda is broken and needs to be fixed.

    @NobodyIsOurGuy I want an Elder Scrolls movie but my big problem would be with who would they cast for the Dragonborn and who's side would the Dragonborn be on in the civil war storyline? Also how would they be able to cover all the factions and dragon lore in a movie?

    @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.
