  @KeezTheFlex @SentMush @Caffeinefunk 100% agree with this they have way more corporate bs that is their problem. Loading is more minor yet understandable qol. They dont even have the og lore guy for elder scrolls. Like wtf. The main lore guy for everything up to skyrim is gone. ES6 might be doo too from that alone.

  The Elder Scrolls VI is going to be... big!? Wow! Whoa! I could not care less. Bethesda's obsession with scale over focus has been a problem since Oblivion, and it's only gotten substantially worse over time. "The game world is the size of a real country!" I don't care.

  Outside of Live service games like elder scrolls online fallout 76 and blizzards live service games everything else should be exclusive

  @JBishie They need to fix that storefront before they expect pc players to use it. Even still, when games were exclusive to EGS, PC players would just skip them, saying “no steam no buy”. They may grab the latest Elder Scrolls, but most PC players will skip Xbox games if this is true.

  @JohnH0730 @dennistopia @thiccdotexe Ah the old appeal to majority comment. Millions of people believe fairies are real. See what Im getting at? The elder scrolls games have become quite shallow with every version that is a problem.

  @TESOnline Your “significantly increased” drop rate claim for new Breton plans is bs. They’re still nonexistent in game. Please fix it. signed, A pissed off housing community

  @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.

  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.

  @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.

  @Pirat_Nation I've been playing Skyrim with mods for years and it's amazing. Bethesda should have hired modders for The Elder Scrolls VI, probably going to be a piece of crap like Starfield that modders will have to fix.

  @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
