  @TESOnline Dear ZeniMax Online Studios / The Elder Scrolls® Online Support Team, I understood the temporary deactivation of my account to protect against potential theft. However, despite providing all the required documentation (invoices/purchase receipts, secret question answers, and my personal information) that unequivocally proves my legal ownership of the account, the lack of any concrete action taken for days has become unacceptable. While I respect your security protocols, the prolonged delay and lack of a satisfactory response, despite providing all necessary proof of ownership, is causing significant hardship. As a player and customer, the continued unjustified blocking of my access to my account completely contradicts your understanding of customer satisfaction and service quality. Now that my account has been secured and my ownership has been fully verified, there is no longer any valid excuse for this delay. My request is clear: I demand that the block on my account be removed IMMEDIATELY and that my access be restored immediately. Otherwise, I inform you that if my grievance continues, I will be forced to take the matter to the relevant customer rights bodies and high-level authorities. I also warn you that I expect my case to be urgently transferred to a senior support staff member and resolved within the day. I request that the necessary action be taken immediately.

  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.

  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.

  @TheAnnaji They’ve fixed a majority of the gameplay problems but the world is still very boring and sanitized compared to the elder scrolls and fallout.

  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.

  @DeekeTweak we go back to the usual absurd debate, Xbox cannot make its games exclusive, but Play Station can, the last Elder Scrolls came out in 2011, we are not talking about making FIFA or Call of Duty exclusive, if Sony made Spiderman exclusive I don't see a problem with Elder Scrolls 6.

  Even this somehow makes The Elder Scrolls seem like a bit of an afterthought - it is their current project and yet it is the last thing mentioned. I just don’t get the disconnect between how successful the franchise is and how it’s treated by the company.

  @TESOnline it’s ridiculous that when I’m in a dungeon, people keep pulling me to the final boss when I’m trying to do something for the quest and when pulled past the prompt or boss needed for the quest that it bugs it for me. Fix your game 😭

  @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.

  Yes, as a totally starved Elder Scrolls lore fanatic, I will definitely over-analyze this. A few observations: - The province for The Elder Scrolls VI has long been rumored to be Hammerfell, to the point where it's almost certain. The number of asterisks she used could be random, but if they're not, they don't fit "Hammerfell". Skyrim and Morrowind are the only Elder Scrolls games that are actually named after the province they take place in, so this isn't an issue. It will probably have a unique subtitle. - By saying the story is greater than the already incredible scale and grandeur of the game, is she saying the story is better than the exploration and questing? Certainly not. This is actually a weird thing to say about the Elder Scrolls, a franchise from a studio that is typically known for weak main quest writing, which we all forgive because the exploration and side quests are the real star. We all understand that, but her vague praise seems to contradict. - Asha saying something public about this game is surely part of her plan to crack the doors open at Bethesda. I wouldn't be surprised if we finally see something substantial about the game this year. What she saw could even be a work in progress demo slice for a future show. Can't believe we're doing this still, but a fans gotta eat.

  @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?
