  @Stealth40k 1) I know about that but I did have to temporarily erase it to save space for Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remaster coming out soon. Then I hear ESOR has technical issues Bethesda hasn’t fixed across all systems yet. It’s gonna be lots of fun or I’ll find myself reinstalling MKW on

  @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

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I really hope you take a peek at my activity feed and take care of the bad actors. Enough is enough people are literally broken putting their heart and soul into something that's rigged by bad actors.

  @ByteStix They have other people in your world lol. That's the problem lol! Played elder scrolls online and dropped it because all the other people running around on my screen got annoying. Think you'd have to wait for enemies to respawn after someone else killed them in your game too.

  @GHBSmith The problem with Starfield was it was so interior heavy that you had to go through 5 loading screens to get to where you wanted. An Elder Scrolls game wouldn’t necessarily have this issue.

  @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.

  @The_End_602 @valuetainment Lmfaooo, you're the clown, brother. All I own is PlayStations. I have a PS2, PS3, PS4, and PS5. I only own one Xbox, and that was a gift back in 2014. You're the problem with gamers nowadays; it's either one side or the other. Sony ****** up, and I will always call them out on their bullshit. Also, Asha is doing God's work on the Xbox side by whipping Bethesda into shape. Do you know how ******* long I've been waiting for a new Elder Scrolls game, let alone a Fallout 5 announcement? Hell yeah, she's doing better than Sony right now.

  @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

  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.

  @KingFanMan He's just trying to do fan service after completely fking up the entire industry. Seriously 76 was nothing but a cash grab. The formula for fallout and elder scrolls games is fking easy, and you have entire genres to pull from for the writing. A chimp could have done his job.

  @TESOnline Near unplayable. 3 hour wait to get into PvP zone to participate in the event. Soon as you try to fight someone you realize they’re using the armory glitch and are immortal. Full heavy armor with all buffs and this guy can cheat kill you in one second. ESO thinks this is fair. No

  @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!!

  Yesterday, Bethesda broke modded versions The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (2016) by releasing a new update that enhances mod support for consoles on Steam. The purpose of this is no doubt to increase that sweet, sweet paid mod revenue where they get to keep around 70% of every sale while they continue work on their next game, presumably thanks to the leak of the name The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel creating additional buzz and bringing new and old players back to Skyrim. Anyone who is using SKSE (Skyrim Script Extender) supported mods who has gone through this before already understands what a pain it is to deal with these updates. First, SKSE must be updated to support the new Skyrim binary. Next, all mods that depend on SKSE to work must also update their mods for the new version of SKSE. This process tends to take months. In the meantime, heavily modded games cannot be started and attempting to launch them generates an error similar to this one I got yesterday evening. So the next best workaround is to use Steam to downgrade Skyrim to the working version. I have seen a third party app out there by the name of Reliquary that purports to do this for your automatically, however it requires you to enter your Steam credentials which is a great way to get your account hacked. It is much safer to do this manually. These are the steps I followed to do so: 1) Right-click on Skyrim SE in the Steam Library pane, select Properties. Under Updates, change Automatic Updates to "Wait until I launch the game". 2) Exit Steam so that the application is completely closed, no longer in the taskbar. 3) Open a command prompt or terminal and launch Steam with the -console tag. If on Windows it may first be necessary to navigate to the Program Files folder with the Steam executable. Alternately you can modify the shortcut and add the -console tag there before launching the game. 4) The newly launched Steam window should now have a new column labeled Console. It is a blank window with a small form textbox to allow entering commands. 5) Type the following commands, one at a time: download_depot 489830 489831 8442952117333549665 download_depot 489830 489832 8042843504692938467 download_depot 489830 489833 1914580699073641964 6) Wait for each command to complete the download, which can take several minutes. Once finished, the console window should tell you where the files where downloaded, such as in my case (linux desktop): ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/content/app_489830/ 7) Go to each folder listed in the console and copy the contents to your Steam Skyrim installation. If you're not sure where Skyrim is installed, you can use Steam to open it. First switch to Library, then right-click on the game in the left column and select Manage, then select Browse Local Files. 8) To prevent Steam from automatically upgrading the game again, make the file "appmanifest_489830.acf" read-only. This file can be found in the "Steam/steamapps" folder. 9) To be extra-safe, only launch Skyrim SE via your mod manager or by using the skse_launcher.exe included with SKSE.

  @GamzlyTKD @JezCorden Agree with most of that but not the side chick platform, there's a world where they play their cards right they acquire more users even via consoles. The problem is they haven't being playing their cards right. Elder Scrolls isn't enough - They need Fallout etc etc

  @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?

  @Foxhound_N10 @TESOnline They need to have a good version that's pick up and play for new players. My problem is when they force players to do it instead of the other campaigns
