  @pageturn_ @ChazakielDoremi I heard the problem with starfield was that there were longer time between content in relation to elder scrolls or fallout where you walk five feet and you run into smth

  @basedbinkie Yes because the Elves in Elder Scrolls unironically are the reason for half the problems in the world

  Vortex failed to install my modlist correctly AGAIN, so now I'm installing an OpenMW modlist just in case I need and Elder Scrolls fix, while I consider what game to play (it might or might not be OpenMW)

  @LoneWolfMitsuni Thats fair, however elder scrolls and fallout are still two very good and popular series which are plagued with bugs and optimization issues... so I wouldn't call Beasts of Reincarnation **** til you play or seen someone play it to get the full scope of the game. Thats just my op

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

  @superprivatesgm @TESOnline @bethesda Trans carachters were in the exact summerset expansion you speak of and inclusive dialogue was in the game before that... Tanlorins problem is they are just horribly written.

  @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

  @Pirat_Nation Why a company that is obsessed with cramming live service crap into everything hasn't thought to use the DA world building to make it a MMORPG, and milk it like Microsoft has done with Elder Scrolls Online, is a mystery.

  I love Creation Engine. Propriety engines play a significant role in forming a game's identity and I would never wish that away. Bethesda is who they are in large part because of this engine. That said, to spend countless years and millions of dollars on a new game and NOT strive to break new ground or do something you haven't before feels like a waste. The Creation Engine hasn't shown a meaningful capacity to grow and change with modern gaming expectation and that's a problem. I still want Bethesda games to feel like Bethesda games, but if Creation Engine 3 doesn't massively impress and prove that it can deliver a truly modern gaming experience, it will be imperative that Bethesda make changes that I don't think they're willing to make. At this point, promising the future of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout on Creation Engine feels like a giant gamble.

  Xbox doesn't have an exclusives problem. I think it has a trust problem. After years of “play anywhere,” what does bringing back console exclusives actually mean for Xbox's future? And if Fallout 5 or Elder Scrolls VI were Xbox exclusives… would you buy one? 🎮 What do you think?

  If their work was as good as they claimed it to be, they'd have no issues finding jobs at other game companies. Also, in actually interesting news, Elder Scrolls 6 is in a "playable" state just based on this headline.

  @DrunkRepub My problem, too. And I played the original Elder Scrolls: Arena and several of its sequels for way too long (mainly because you couldn't wander around killing things in such a wide world in most games). Somehow, by Skyrim it got old.

  Skyrim sold 30 million copies. Then Bethesda announced its sequel. Skyrim sold 30 million more. Most studios rush sequels because the old game stops selling. Bethesda had the opposite problem, and it explains the longest wait in modern gaming. Skyrim launched in 2011. Twelve years later it was the seventh best-selling game in history, ported to roughly ten platforms, some of them twice. There's a version that runs on Amazon Alexa. Every year without The Elder Scrolls VI was a year the 2011 game faced zero internal competition. A sequel kills the back catalog. As long as VI stayed a teaser, Skyrim remained the newest mainline entry in one of gaming's biggest franchises, and it kept compounding into a 60 million unit annuity. Todd Howard even asked fans to "pretend we didn't announce it." That sounds like embarrassment. It's also exactly what you'd say if your 15-year-old game was outselling most studios' new releases. Now Xbox's CEO is teasing a censored subtitle after a live playthrough. The moment they finally say the name out loud is the moment the Skyrim annuity starts its countdown. Eight asterisks is what it looks like when a company decides the annuity has finally run its course.

  @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!!

  @Mortiel Tim Swindler Sweeney is a fraud anyway. - pays for PC game exclusivity - buys Rocket League, removes Linux support - tricked kids into payment via dark patterns & refused refunds - invaded kids privacy - claimed lower distribution fee would equate to lower game prices, it didn't - it was so bad, FF7R launched on EGS @ $70 (new high at the time) only to sell poorly and eventually launched on Steam @ $50 - refused to improve their platform substantially for years - played pick & choose w/ indies rather than having an open platform for people to publish games I'm just giving broad strokes here, but I don't see why businesses still work with them. In fact, many aren't. Why did Bethesda launch their Elder Scrolls titles on EGS but not Oblivion Remastered? It uses Unreal Engine too! In fact, many games on Unreal Engine just straight up didn't come to EGS. Didn't they have incentives? What's the hold up? They can talk about hours played until they're blue in the face, but it won't mean anything. The ONLY saving grace is this sudden epiphany they're having about investing in their platform finally. However, even that is met with concern when, despite all these live-service flops, they STILL want to pursue live service games, trying to become the next Roblox. It's really sad, given this renaissance of indie & retro games showcasing a desire for simpler times built around fun gameplay, not cash shops and microtransactions. /rant

  @CS11__ I think the problem, is the hype. That'll happen when you take 12 years to come out with the next title. Elder Scrolls 6 will meet the same fate. Good lessons to learn, dont milk your IP to death on one title for an entire decade.

  Some people are all talk well, I put my money where my mouth is as it pertains to Sony #Playstation There are a number of factors that led up to this. It's clear that Sony doesn't give two 💩 about their customers. Sony should be on alert however because their arrogance could backfire from a business perspective longer term. They think we don't have options but what have they really done this gen? - They chased live service and it failed miserably. - Concord? failure - Marathon...not the success they wanted it to be resulting in major layoffs at Bungie - Bluepoint games? Gone - They could have been working on a Days Gone sequel but no. - Wasted 3 years of Naughty Dog development time on a Last of Us MP and then cancelled it. - Horizon series MP - who asked for this? - Relied on remasters to compensate for the lack of first party releases - Started pulling digital movies from their stores and customers lost access - Announced no more physical discs by 2028, meanwhile while quietly shrinking available physical inventory in the market. I could go on and on... Look if Playstation is your ecosystem, that's great! I will never, ever criticize someone for their gaming tastes and what works for them. But you can't possibly defend any of the above and you can't really question why people are disenfranchised not only by Sony but the industry in general. So, I'm going retro and with XBOX for my ecosystem. I love how they have play anywhere, backwards compatbility, rewards, cheevos, etc... I'm a fan of Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Halo, Gears so it's more of a fit for me. Yet, Last of Us and Marvel's Spider-Man are two of my fav game series but I can still play those on PC so...there ya go! I always say, my decision and desire to express my decision should be inconsequential to you. End o' story. Peace, Dirk @xbox #xbox

  If it's not a big deal, why patch an 11 or 15 year old game? The truth of the matter, this is likely to become a huge issue where Bethesda is going to try and milk money from mods. I have very little hope left for Elder Scrolls VI, at this point. Bethesda has fallen.

  @PassiveProphet Waiting till they spent like 3+ years on the game and it being like 90% done then cancelling it was not cancelling it in time. A true leader would've been able to see the problems much earlier on and would've given the relevant feedback/stop it in time. Dude kept saying 7 years to make a game is fine how many games did that this gen besides the obvious GTA VI and Elder scrolls VI which are massive games?

  @bethesda Dear ZeniMax Online Studios / The Elder Scrolls® Online Support Team, I am requesting that my account be temporarily disabled to protect against potential theft. However, despite providing all necessary documentation (invoices/purchase receipts, answers to questions, and my personal information) definitively proving my ownership of the account, the lack of concrete action for days has become unacceptable. Your disregard for security protocols, the prolonged delay despite providing all necessary proof of ownership, and the lack of a satisfactory response are causing significant difficulties. As a player and customer, the continued unfair blocking of my account completely contradicts your understanding of customer satisfaction and service quality. My account is now secure and my hosting is fully verified, therefore there is no longer a valid excuse for this delay. My request is clear: I demand the DEHAL of the block on my account and the uninterrupted restoration of access. Otherwise, if my complaint continues, I will be forced to pursue this matter through customer rights courts and higher authorities. I would also like to state that I expect an urgent disruption to my file due to recent support issues and the events that transpired on the same day. I request to participate in the necessary competition.
