  @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

  Obsidian was always openly progressive The problem with the Outer Worlds and Avowed is that everyone wanted them to be FO or Elder Scrolls style of open world RPG and they clearly were not.

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

  @HazzadorGamin BGS has always made games that the majority don't care about. The entire Elder Scrolls series, for example. Fallout, for example. Everything BGS does is for a niche audience. Skyrim stands out, but it is not the rule. Their problem is execution, not concept.

  @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.

  @TESOnline I installed today's patch and can't log in because it doesn't recognize the patch... fix this immediately.

  @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.

  @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.

  @SEnighTHO @JezCorden Fallout and Elder Scrolls arent the XBox identity. Both predat XBox. Fallout was a completely different game before the IP was bought. Problem is XBox's core identity games were selling consoles to begin with. EDay will be an interesting test.

  @ther3n3gad3 Great point of view, he messed up badly in '76, and even more so with the game's decisions. They still have the problem with the graphics engine, and they have to deliver The Elder Scrolls; they have a lot to worry about.

  @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.

  Look, I love the Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Have since I first booted up my Xbox to play Morrowind in 2002. But you guys needed a kick in the ***. I hate that all those employees got fired, but taking 20 years to release a game, and then another decade of no DLC or content for said game, and relying only on modders to fill in what you left out, is the most laziest and snobbiest **** you could have ever run for a company. And not telling people about games or projects coming up, being so tight lipped and superior, and holier than thou art. On a gaming engine that is already 40 years old and barely works at launch, and takes a year to fix the game. Bethesda needed a kick in the ***. And it was long overdue.

  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.

  @TheGameVerse If they are releasing stuff like the new halo idk. The elder scrolls maybe a issue however

• 
  FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported 33 minutes ago

  “The roadmap is unaffected” lands a little differently when 3,200 people just disappeared from the larger machine around it. Maybe Elder Scrolls 6 really is still on track. Maybe Oblivion Remastered still makes its Switch 2 window. But players have heard this line enough times to know what it usually means: the plan on paper survived. Whether the capacity survived is a different question. That’s the trust problem with studio reassurance after layoffs. Not that every statement is a lie. That a roadmap is only as real as the team, time, and priorities still standing behind it. A game doesn’t get delayed because the PR wording was off. It gets delayed because fewer people are left to do the work. “Roadmap intact” is nice. Show us the shipped game.

  @Mark97009631616 @TESOnline One of the hardest jobs in programming is looking at someones previous coding and add on to it without causing some huge problems end point.

  @kidthewiiz @NikTek Is there no way to middle ground it for something like Elder Scrolls 6 to fix their city population issues that people complained about in Skyrim? Have your run of the mi interactable NPC count and backfill with these shallow NPCs?

  @PatManJones62 @JezCorden Mate it means nothing to me anyways I own both but the issue is sales. If they want to actually make money maybe they should release on all platforms I'm adamant they should of brought spiderman to Xbox as well I'm saying elder scrolls deserves better treatment

  If they fix the crashing in NV im sold, probably only proyect im interested in becuase i know well Fallout 5 or Elder Scrolls 6 are gonna be another starfield.

  Alexandre (@Alexandre99665) reported 47 minutes ago

  @LaresIsaac14 @eXtas1stv I had forgotten about Call of Duty. It's such a massive release that Game Pass doesn't make up for the lost sales. If they really do end day-one releases, The Elder Scrolls VI will probably be the second franchise to arrive on the service a year later.

  Wesley ✨ (@wesleytypes) reported 58 minutes ago

  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.

  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
