  @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

  @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?

  @foxgirlfrot you could fix me,,,,,, yapping about dumb elder scrolls lore while being held WOULD fix me

  @Swurv__ I don’t know about that. The Elder Scrolls used to be the gold standard in open-world RPG’s, but since then the industry has shifted dramatically and there’s a lot of competition. Elder Scrolls has a Bethesda problem if anything.

  @vicious696 What about elder scrolls 6 then ? It looks like if game have high sales potential it will not be on the service. Thats the dangerous precedent and to be honest it’s killing the whole point of gamepass.

  @Raven0178 @Swurv__ Did you actually play crimson desert? Lol. It obviously would have elder scrolls abilities and combat because its an elder scrolls game just everything about crimson desert works so much better than elder scrolls games, cell based games are cumbersome to the extreme, I shouldn't need seven loading screens in the same town, you know? I'm just kind of over that. I want more of what crimson desert offered me. And id love it if that came from a studio like bethesda with its rich story and lore, because honestly, they suck at the back end ****. I think everyone UNANIMOUSLY agrees on that, hence why "its not a bug its a feature" its such a well known bethesda meme. Everything they make comes riddled with bugs and issues and we are fine with it because its bethesda, I dont want to be fine with it, I want my cake and I want to eat it too, I want the rich story and I want the amazing engine for it to run on in the background. You can keep paying for ur slop if you want though.

  @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.

  The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition developed by Bethesda Game Studios for the Nintendo Switch 2 port added improvements with an update 1.2 in February 2026 such as a new 60 FPS mode, a stable 30 FPS mode, and reduced input lag but it still costs $60 for a 15 year old game.

  @SMGold_ I love me some elder scrolls but everyone knows thats glitch of a game isnt the best game made. Now excuse me while I find the save state that doesn't have my character falling through the floor.

  @Xbox_SUPERFAN The thing with COD versus other first party games is they have 3 studios working full speed to crank out a $400+ million AAA game annually. Halo isn't doing that. Elder Scrolls isn't doing that. Forza isn't doing that. Those games on Day 1 are are all big value adds for Game Pass. If they remove them, they're going to see massive churn. I'm assuming behind the scenes they either didn't see a big enough bump in subscribers for COD or they saw a lot of people sub for a month or two, only play COD, then bounce. If that's the case, and you have polls all over the internet saying drop COD and make it cheaper, then I could see the business sense there. It doesn't make sense to risk subs and cut other first party games from the service, but there's always a chance the economics change

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline last “maintenance”caused server issues on my end. Even more than usual -Micro freezes/stutters in all zones includes PvP/BG where in PvP Freezes/Stutters is a massive issue -Grass textures constantly popping in/out causing frame drops -FIX THE SERVER! -4070Ti super i513600k 32gb

  @RonnieBlaz3 @TESOnline I play currently on PC/EU and I played on Xbox/EU till 2019. PvP were always laggy. It was the worst in 2017! The problem was the netcode and not so much the servers. Servers became better though. Much less problems with connectivity and rarely lags in PvE raids and stuff. PvP still shity though bc, like I said, netcode! To much garbage requests vom the server leads to too much data that has to be handled. They should really redo that from scratch with a tighter code. So better no usage of AI bs. They will probably not do this o.o"

  @younghavok Elder scrolls 6? Story mode overwatch game? Crash bandicoot? Spyro? Halo remake? Fallout 5? Fable? Souls like WoW? They didn’t even try

  @pizzamoney83 @TESOnline Where in night market you need to be elite player? :) difficulty there mid between vet dungeons and vet trials. Any average group can do this. There's zero new mechanics - a bit reworked old bosses, without any new mechanics. Problem there - excessive grind. It just boring.

  @Swurv__ That's the main problem. Bethesda perfectly knows that they could sell a pack of **** branded "elder scrolls 6" people would buy it without thinking. That's what they do for 10 years now.

  @TESOnline Night market quest starter not in the store. The map is broken...can't back out of the zone to see the rest of the map. Everything is hitting way too hard. It's just trash content.

  @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.

  SenjutsuSage (@Senninsage) reported 40 minutes ago

  @Johnnymetal80 @Septic_Sauce The anticipation for the follow-up to Skyrim is a money maker approaching GTA. A lot more upfront sales will be lost with Elder Scrolls 6, so with this move I no longer have confidence in Game Pass as a service. It was about guarantees, no doubt, and that's now gone.

  @joseagu59410157 @TESOnline If it's not happening in mass, on a predictable basis, then chances are, it's something about your system that is causing the problem.

  @CodyCoo15122985 @Swurv__ Tainted grail is one thing but if you think that the witcher of all franchises satiates the fix left by the elder scrolls then I seriously can't fathom what you like about the games to begin with, they're literally polar opposites nothing alike in the slightest

  @TESOnline @JoeyAKangaroo Yeah let's focus on that rather than actually fixing genuine issues.

  Josh (@BigJK123123) reported 47 minutes ago

  @ZephhyLeo @CultClassicCage Yet the game still had plenty of bugs, glitches & issues, some of which were present in their 2002 Elder Scrolls game. "it was less glitchy than Fallout 4" It bloody should be, that game notoriously had performance issues, and technical flaws even found in the recent re-release.

  @xonebros I think long running franchises like Elder Scrolls, GTA and even my beloved Halo are in for a rude awakening. The gap between their entries is way too wide. We've gone from 3-5 years to 10-12 or more. The fans of the previous games move on and in some cases become developers themselves. That's where we see games like Crimson Desert, Expedition 33 and more come into the picture. These developers were inspired by the old franchises and made their own games with passion. GTA, Elder Scrolls and Halo are now established corporate franchises. Each entry has come out feeling more like it's trying to appease a corporate overlord that's demanding more revenue be generated from a single title instead of creating a one and done game in a timely manner New gamers are also coming along that aren't familiar with said franchises due to the gap in releases. A kid born on the release day for Skyrim is now in high school. They grew up with Skyrim being "that old game that Dad liked". While some may have gotten curious and gone back to experience and enjoy Skyrim (much like I went back to experience and later love Pac-Man and Donkey Kong), many just played whatever the new hotness was. In many cases, that was a cheap or free to play live service title like Fortnite, Roblox or Minecraft that could be experienced on any device they owned. Elder Scrolls VI and other legacy franchises have to deal with these. I think GTA 6 is going to be a massive test for these legacy titles and I don't think it's going to sell as strong as people think. A combination of unfamiliarity with GTA in Gen Alpha and Gen Z and the inflated cost of modern AAA will be a massive deterrent. I'm sure my fellow Millennial and Gen X gamers will buy it...assuming they haven't aged out of the hobby. Sadly, as that terrible Game Rant top 10 🐐 of gaming survey showed, we're becoming a rare breed in the industry.

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline 10+ yrs. BG/Cyro servers has been absolutely atrocious on PC/NA! for that 10+ yrs we have asked for a fix to the lag and in some cases Full on freeze for a good 15-20sec. Instead of adding content to these servers how bout we actually fix it(Maintenance)
