  @Nick101Gaming Because Xbox can not sustain a game that size in scope why can’t you understand that Xbox has less then 30 million gamers all on gamepass a rental service that does not support buying and supporting the studios that make them the elder scrolls will come to ps5 no Xbox needed!!

  @MorrowindGOTY I worked for a small time at Bethesda and zenimax. No one cared for the elder scrolls blades. People were playing ESO and Fallout 76 because there weren't new single player games. They have been trying to keep the service route alive as long as they can.

  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,”

  @AlexWisnerArt I hope it has mod support in the future A lot of the elder scrolls like games have such horrid mod support And it’s such an important game of the games identity that you can always play it and do something new That isn’t a live service

  Yes, as a totally starved Elder Scrolls lore fanatic, I will definitely over-analyze this. A few observations: - The province for The Elder Scrolls VI has long been rumored to be Hammerfell, to the point where it's almost certain. The number of asterisks she used could be random, but if they're not, they don't fit "Hammerfell". Skyrim and Morrowind are the only Elder Scrolls games that are actually named after the province they take place in, so this isn't an issue. It will probably have a unique subtitle. - By saying the story is greater than the already incredible scale and grandeur of the game, is she saying the story is better than the exploration and questing? Certainly not. This is actually a weird thing to say about the Elder Scrolls, a franchise from a studio that is typically known for weak main quest writing, which we all forgive because the exploration and side quests are the real star. We all understand that, but her vague praise seems to contradict. - Asha saying something public about this game is surely part of her plan to crack the doors open at Bethesda. I wouldn't be surprised if we finally see something substantial about the game this year. What she saw could even be a work in progress demo slice for a future show. Can't believe we're doing this still, but a fans gotta eat.

  Is Halo 7 out yet? (@Halo_HypeGuy) reported 18 minutes 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.

  Gærsstapa (@gaersstapa) reported 21 minutes ago

  @lastchalice Frankly I think its going to tank their studio. Whether it sells or not is irrelevant; the time it took, the costs, the issues, etc. Its GG. Further Hammerfell is a bad place to set it now with the ongoing real world discourse, if they wanted Hammerfell it should have released in 2021-2023. Now it will come off as developer tokenism and DEI. And to be real, looking at the developers out protesting, yea, it does look like that. Which means we are getting The Elder Scrolls: Starfield Edition. And I definitely don't think the team has the ability to make it as modular as Skyrim, which is the real reason the game is still a dominant force in its player base, from SteamDB; Skyrim SE: 39,382 players as of typing. Oblivion Remaster: 2,464 players as of typing. Starfield: 6,446 players as of typing.

  @Shubhamxpawar The first time I got linux was when I was still using my old deadbeat hp computer which had intel pentium and 1gb ddr3 ram in it, so windows 7 was lagging like crazy, and then I read somewhere that for such kind of machines, linux does the job, and I got myself ubuntu and honestly it really did put new life into that machine, then I also managed to run osrs and elder scrolls 4 into it, had a blast using Linux until I got a gaming build haha

  @BethesdaStudios this is why i stopped ******* with your **** bethesda. we mod the games (NOT USING YOUR ****** CREATION CLUB) to fix your trash fire. then once its good and fixed, you light it on fire again. worry about something you SHOULD be doing like idk the next elder scrolls?

  BlackFlamingo (@BlackFlamingo93) reported 26 minutes ago

  @Lord_Of_Shorvia @stormfall33 It's probably not gonna be another Starfield. The biggest problem of that game is the space setting. The combat is fine, the hand-crafted content is mostly decent.. the setting is underdeveloped, which isn't a problem for Elder Scrolls.

  @SeniorScrolls @Der_Kernel_ So what actually happened is Elder Scrolls Online. They wanted to rival WoW. The problem with this is that the nature of an MMO is that it is live service, they were planning on it being THE elder scrolls and thus did not develop another one. And now here we are with eso dead af.

  @CassieKittenVR Different tech at the time. Keep in mind that Bethesda is a bit like monster hunter with their engine. Each generation of games are working on the same system just modified to fix their current IP, which was ether Elder scrolls or Fallout. What a mess x3

  @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

  MAGIC: THE GATHERING IS BECOMING A CORPORATE FRANCHISE SOUP Wizards of the Coast is leaning hard into the "Universes Beyond" strategy, turning Magic into the Smash Bros of cardboard collectibles. While the purists scream into the void about lore integrity, the market speaks a different language: crossovers print money. Bringing Narnia’s Narnian Pevensies or the dense, magic-heavy Cosmere into the game isn't just fan service—it's a calculated raid on adjacent fandom wallets. The real shift here isn't the IP itself, but the dilution of the game's original identity. When you can cast a spell using a character from The Elder Scrolls while your opponent plays a Fallout Commander deck, the "Magic" feel starts to evaporate. It’s no longer a standalone fantasy universe; it’s a digital-ready IP billboard. Is this the death of thematic consistency, or just the inevitable evolution of an aging card game? Source: IGN $HAS

  It’s a Nexus-created problem (at least for Elder Scrolls). Modding IS complicated because of possessive mod authors. If something has dependencies or conflicts, mod packs are still prohibited so the user must spend hours resolving it. This was discouraged pre-Nexus **********.

  @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

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline It is disgraceful that a major gaming studio hides behind automated bots, refusing to provide a human review or basic accountability. You gladly take players' money, but the moment an issue arises, you lock them out and throw away the key. Completely unacceptable!
