  @NikTek @CosmicMatt92 If elder scrolls 6 is great I don't care if it has loading screens, loading screens are even in the top 10 of Starfields problems

  @lohipuikko @pssucks80155 @Nick_Marseil Timed exclusives solves this problem IMO. Gears E-Day? 12 month Xbox Exclusive. Fable? 12 month Xbox Exclusive. Fallout 5 & Elder Scrolls 6? 12 months only on Xbox/PC. You get my drift

  @TESOnline This is all great, but can you fix control layout B? You don't jump until you Release the thumbstick. Imagine if you didn't jump until you released the face button. It's awful and has been broken for years now.

  Now that it is confirmed Call of Duty will not launch on Game Pass Day One, it naturally makes me think about how this decision could affect The Elder Scrolls VI. CoD is a first party franchise with a lot of microtransactions, so removing it from Day One shows that Microsoft is adjusting how it approaches major releases. Elder Scrolls is one of Xbox’s biggest IPs, and ES6 will almost certainly have a massive budget while being a single player game with far fewer monetisation options than a live service title. Because of that, it is reasonable to wonder whether Microsoft might use a similar strategy there as well. Do you think ES6 could also skip Day One on Game Pass, or is this change truly limited to Call of Duty? I am genuinely curious how you all see this situation. I buy a lot of games myself and I also have Game Pass, so I am looking at it from both perspectives. If live service titles with strong monetisation are difficult to support on Game Pass, it raises interesting questions about how huge single player projects fit into the model. We will see how it develops in the coming months and years. Overall I think the change makes sense, but it also brings up some valid things to think about.

  @TuryValdez @DuneAwakening I know what you’re talking about. I had the same issue with Elder scrolls online. The camera and the character model not in sync just hurts my head

  @Pirat_Nation Using an old *** engine The HORRIBLE train wreck Fallout 76 was not just as a game but the entire fraud and bunch of irl issues around it. Then starfield… People saying they dont even expect Elder scrolls 6 to be good anymore is a realistic mindset. Bethesda WAS, but isnt now.

  We gotta beat elder scrolls YouTubers with the mace of molag bal for spewing the **** that oblivion leveling is bad and remaster fixed it when the issue is the unique pool is still level scaled horribly and enemy pool of levels still is just reach a breakpoint and its all ogres

  @AndresRestart I think the problem with the Star Fox designs is that certain angles and poses make them look really bad. It's like making an Elder Scrolls character who looks great from the front, but then you do the side profile and see that you really ****** up.

  @brockpierson Elder Scrolls Online, Skyrim or Morrowind or Oblivion, Mass Effect Legendary, Witcher 3, or Cyberpunk 2077. The issue with doing it 12 hours a day if an MMO would be downtime due to maintenance!

  @bethesda when am I gonna be reimbursed for “the elder scrolls oblivion remastered” the game barely runs and hasn’t had a update to fix anything.

  Earl Diggs (@EarlDiggs3rd) reported 32 minutes ago

  @bethesda the problem about Starfield fallout and elder scrolls is every time they update one they break the game so the gamers jump to another Bethesda game until they update and break that game. I caught the Bethesda triangle.

  The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered from Bethesda Softworks still suffers from severe technical issues including persistent crashes and performance degradation over a year after its April 22, 2025 launch.

  @RevenantRemnant Look at the devs of the next Elder Scrolls.....A hint and a HALF it's gonna crash and burn. Recalling my vlog on it when I tried my hardest not to make fun of those women. Yes,THOSE women,not the women who's capable of developing great games and not garbage.

  Wild origin story unearthed at PCG towers — the name "The Elder Scrolls: Arena" was basically a last‑minute fix to pre‑printed boxes. 📦🧾🎮 • Ted Peterson says Arena shifted from tournament combat to full RPG as sidequests and dungeon‑delving took priority. • With boxes already printed, devs invented the Empire nickname "the Arena" and Vijay Lakshman slapped on "The Elder Scrolls" — its meaning barely defined. • A serendipitous, awkward label became the foundation of a decades‑long franchise. Would you keep a quirky, last‑minute title if it could become the next megafranchise, or rebrand for clarity? #ElderScrolls #GameHistory

  @JezCorden Single player titles full exclusive PC/Xbox like Elder Scrolls 6. 'Live Service' titles like Forza Horizon multiplat Fable PS5 port needs cancelled. No 3P storefronts on Helix only Xbox PC, BattleNet, and console backwards compatibility. Helix needs subsidized to compete with PS6

  @Draven_X_23 @Dexerto You really think Elder Scrolls 6 is going to be good after Fallout 76, Starfield, and the Oblivion remaster which is still broken?

  @Der_Kernel_ Pretty sure it's more cope that modders will fix whatever mess Bethesda shits out but modders never bothered with Bethesda's last slop release so I'm not sure why anyone is coping that they'll fix Elder Scrolls 6.

  @Infi_Gabe95 @brandon1luv @TRIPSTER0 I can name s bunch they have Forza, Halo, Gears, Crash, Spyro, Fable, Elder Scrolls, and the 1 game Sony and Jim Ryan were crying about being exclusive Call of Duty in 2033 once that contract is up make it exclusive Sonys #1 3rd party franchise goes bye bye

  Can Xbox bring back the "console" to compete by making IP exclusive? Yes. Will they? Maybe some. People will buy an Xbox to play CoD, Doom, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc. Gamers have an addiction, and @Xbox has a box full of their drugs. Problem is, shareholders won't allow it.

  @luscielia Elder scrolls 6… I’ve been waiting 15 years for this game and I would crawl over broken glass just to meet the man who was lucky enough to sell his soul for the elder scrolls 6
