  Raintop | Debut Summer 2026 (@RaintopCroptop) reported 8 minutes ago

  Aside from my hype for fallout 3 and new Vegas remastered, this is just kinda lip service. We’ve known about 3 and new Vegas getting remastered for years and they still have nothing to show for elder scrolls 6

  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

  @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

  @BladerLBM Saving anywhere is honestly the least of Daggerfall's problems lol. Same for any other Elder Scrolls game for that matter.

  @TESOnline ruined my one relaxation gaming night. The new quest is broken and there is no way to progress with everyone spamming. You suck.

  Is Halo 7 out yet? (@Halo_HypeGuy) reported 15 minutes ago

  Avowed could've been an Elder Scrolls spinoff. I respect Obsidian for trying to do something half-orginal tho. **** Bethesda and Todd Howard, how you keep your biggest IPs on live service hell for a decade!?

  @Adolf_G0ttlich @Colteastwood Over exaggerated the issues is a thing. I think Fable developer lost some people due to shake up, same with ESO and Bethseda in general. Get 100+ places talking about death of Xbox, Fable, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc.. with no valid reasoning or proof.

  Jimmy Wangler (@Foojack220) reported 22 minutes ago

  @MarcelynnGrimm @tapecandydrums @Gravantus ESO is a C tier MMO. If it wasn’t piggybacking off the Elder Scrolls branding, it would’ve gone end of service a decade ago. It’s done so much damage to the lore too. Every time I hear some ES lore and think “What? That’s retarded! What game is that from?” It’s always from ESO.

  @BethesdaStudios Do people play Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online? I read the numbers…I don’t know anyone who personally does. I tried 76 with a buddy and we enjoyed it for a minute but it was a massive glitch fest and that was like two years ago.

  @GTAJJ_ @NextGenPlayer You also have smaller examples like Jeremy Soule not working on The Elder Scrolls VI music or Microsoft not allowing Cliff Bleszinski to return to Gears of War.

  @werty2346 @vicious696 They spent a good couple years making starfield, upgrading the engine, then once that finished went onto elder scrolls while still making starfield DLC and content updates. Doing all this while maintaining a multiplayer live service, developing a newer version of their engine

  @XBOXTIMDOG Just take COD and Elder Scrolls of Playstation. Problem solved

  Virkokka (@virkokka) reported 35 minutes ago

  @SuperP1ayerX @GHBSmith The issue is that I care about Elder Scrolls, not the other games. There's still not enough value for me to buy a console, even if all the other games were also exclusive.

  @masmorragamer That would be an issue if the game was trying to be Elder Scrolls. Luckily it isn't.

  @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

  @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?

  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.

  Elder Scrolls VI will suffer because it’s made by today’s Bethesda. Retaining employees who were already producing mid games wouldn’t fix that.

  FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported 51 minutes ago

  440 unionized Bethesda and ZeniMax workers laid off. Now the people making The Elder Scrolls 6 are warning about delays, crunch, and QA hotfixes before the game even has a public roadmap. That’s not “production is hard.” That’s management deciding the people who ship the game are the part it can absorb. If your workers need a march to tell you the schedule is broken, the schedule was never real.

  MidwestNomad (@dedmeetdm) reported 52 minutes ago

  @BethesdaStudios Well that's a bunch of word salad PR BS. It'll be almost 20 years since a proper Elder Scrolls, and nearly as much before the next Fallout. Microsoft should shut you down and give these franchises to a company that actually cares. You all left Fallout 4 broken for over a year.

  monke (@air_bagged) reported 54 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.

  𝔊𝔯𝔦𝔪𝔣𝔢𝔩 (@GrimfelOfficial) reported 54 minutes ago

  @FussyPastor Prompt was iterated on: 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

  @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.

  @_bryanisreal @fuckusernamejor @daviruz Remind me. Didn’t Elder Scrolls 5 have micro transactions that started the whole mess we are in currently? I don’t see the issue in grinding levels. They were trying something new? It’s a good game On its own

  Timdog (@XBOXTIMDOG) reported 59 minutes ago

  Kloot that’s not the problem. Is there anyone in the world saying I must get a xbox for gamepass? Thats the Crux of issue If you make elder scrolls 6 exclusive yeah thats what ppl say. The problem is the numbers might not be there to do that and keep day one. It’s all headed towards exclusives and huge AAA being exclusive but no day and date. Been saying this for 5 months. Starting to roost.

  @SynthPotato Not necessarily; they could break the system down and redo it to make loading screens less of an issue, but the question is, does Todd have that type of will in him? Elder Scrolls 6 is Todd’s make it or break it moment, if he can’t deliver a masterpiece he’s going to be retired.

  @fentanylbrownie "ubiquitous" in elder scrolls games but never really seen it be such a problem anywhere else. Elder scrolls melee combat is remarkably unfun that bypassing it with sneak is the default way to enjoy the game.
