  @TESOnline @TheJackalAgenda What I want to see happen with ESO as the game continues to evolve is the pure classes actually to FEEL Close to the lore. Each should have a key strength and weakness. The entire combat system should revolve around that, not a meta. A Sorc should be the king of ranged AOE/Bombs, weak up close, or no shields. A Nightblade should be the king of single-target damage and deleting any player (burst), scaled from their health/armor if they take the time to hunt undetected. But it's the sacrifice of being a glass cannon. An Arcanist should be the king of ranged single-target damage. And a Dragonknight should be the king of toe-to-toe battles, one-on-one, but not as bursty, but very strong defensively, as the standard well-balanced of all, but not superior to the rest. Right now, you have kill screens filled with me, too, DKs, and it's like watching the Clone Wars in Cyro. But each of these characters should be a toolbox in its own right for vet players. Is there a necro tank that refuses to die? Grab the Arcanist beam to the face, huge DOT, and problem solved. Are there nightblades all over the little village? Grab the sorc and start raining huge AOE’s to reveal and drop. A pesky Templar that won't go down? Grab the Dragonknight. But the combat system has felt for years like it was tailored to the sets and mythics rather than to specific characters to upgrade your toolkit. I was deeply disappointed in this video when Asmon who I enjoy flat out walked away from camera for two whole minutes during your game showcase. Then I had to look up why. And apparently, he criticized the combat system in 2019, saying it was clunky and dropped the game entirely, though he noted it was beautiful. That should concern you. These things should make sense to the average player. Feel like a quiet solo night hunting alone? Nightblade. Feel like brawling it out in a fistfight with a large group. DK. Want to try ranged bombing? Arcanist. But tie it all together, please make the story and the battles make sense with the combat instead of making one way overpowered character (DK), everyone copies, and you get the same kill screen. Otherwise, you are going to turn average NEW players away, and I really love this game a lot to go forever, especially all the friends I've made :) See where I'm going? I don't want to play the meta, I want to play what fits my playstyle and themes for that mood. Why wouldn't a High Elf magika Sorc be the best for PVP instead of stamina? So keep going, EVEN if it ruffles the feathers of the sweaties who don't want change or to keep it the same old same. Those people retire and need to be replaced over time anyway, and you want to sell more shinys, right? Please pass it on @TESOnline

  I see a lot of people celebrating this because "omg finally, we can get new Fallout and Elder Scrolls games sooner!" Guys, this is a Monkey's Paw. Bethesda, without tight deadlines or being rushed from higher ups before gave us Fallout 4, Fallout 76 and Starfield. Three abysmally dogshit games, each worse than the last. While it is true that working within limitations can absolutely push innovation and creativity, I seriously doubt we'll get that from Bethesda. Emil's writing is **** with all the time in the world to do it, who honestly thinks that being pushed to make games faster will improve his writing? Does anyone think we'll get better RPG mechanics? Better world building? Better quests? All this will do is get us an even worse game faster. The problem is Bethesda, their leadership and company culture. Until that is fixed, of which there appears to be no sign of (has anyone seen how ******* lazy Terran Armada is?) then we won't be getting good games from them again. Unless you mindlessly consume slop, getting excited over this is only setting yourself up for disappointment.

  @LouisV1099 @PostUp_SOG It can work if they make Helix cheap. And make Elder scrolls, Halo, Gears, Forza, crash bandicoot, Spyro, Overwatch single player game at a consistent pace. Sony can’t match that volume.

  @pipkinpippa @Aquadile96 Its gameplay was okay, but its lore causes a lot of problems. You didn’t play the earlier games so you wouldn’t see it, but that’s really what divides the Elder Scrolls community over it.

  @TESOnline Servers down again? You clowns already cost everyone a full day on the last shut down which cut into people's "paid subscription" time, there had better be some compensation waiting in the crown store.

  @katanaollie @Wario64 They do third party deals - the issue Xbox faces is that they have to pay more because they have less market share to make up for the sales difference. The only way to gain attention is either overpay (they have every year) or earn attention through creations. Why would you want Elder Scrolls and Fallout exclusive? What does this bring to an Xbox user? These entities are multiplatform and using your wealth to control the market entity and rug pull is dangerous.

  @kojimaicmatters I played the GBA version of FF2, and it was the only one I didn't beat. I got about 3/4ths through, but I just couldn't stand the way you gained stats. Probably annoyed me more than most because it was like retreading my issues with the Elder Scrolls games skills all over again.

  @WolfheartFPS @KJP_Plays Thank you for saying this. I even talked to the devs about it. I know I am used to from software games but still Witcher 3 is not using all it's mechanics to create truly challenging hard difficulty. But combat is their common problem like Elder scrolls series

  It has nothing to do with the fact theres a female lead. You don't see Tomb Raider getting hated on. It's the fact studios that take 4-6 years to make games spent time making a game that isn't starring the beloved main character Kratos. Hell people are pissed at Bethesda for making Starfield because it wasted 6-8 years instead of making the next Elder Scrolls. Time is finite for these developers, wasting time on stories no one cares about is the issue.

  @UnkWerks @RinoTheBouncer Except it's not. It's a single player game that happens to include a multiplayer mode. A live service game is something like Destiny, The Elder Scrolls Online or Fallout 76. They tried to make Halo CE exclusive but couldn't because of various contracts already in place.

  Been a huge problem for a long time. In 11 years we’ve only got 2 mainline halo games. In 10 years only 2 mainline gears of war games. Not to mention the mess with Bethesda. 11 years since the last fallout, 15 years since the last elder scrolls

  @stormfall33 The problem with releasing Elder Scrolls 6 is that it has to compete with your 12th release of Elder Scrolls 5
