  @Kofigiration @Character1n2ern Moral ******* won't work with me. If it's weird then don't do it. Calling someone a criminal over lines/polygons is my issue. It is the same as blowing someone's brains out in a FPS, stabbing someone to death in Elder scrolls. Also you know anime has always been weird right?

  @NOTimothyLottes Ratchet and Clank is the only modern Sony game that interests me, none of what they're doing these days is attractive which is mostly GoW and Spiderman and a billion live service flop... My taste is largely fulfilled by XBOX which is RPGs like Starfield, Avowed, OW2, Clockwork Revolution, and hopefully a frickin Elder Scrolls game soon

  “The roadmap is unaffected” lands a little differently when 3,200 people just disappeared from the larger machine around it. Maybe Elder Scrolls 6 really is still on track. Maybe Oblivion Remastered still makes its Switch 2 window. But players have heard this line enough times to know what it usually means: the plan on paper survived. Whether the capacity survived is a different question. That’s the trust problem with studio reassurance after layoffs. Not that every statement is a lie. That a roadmap is only as real as the team, time, and priorities still standing behind it. A game doesn’t get delayed because the PR wording was off. It gets delayed because fewer people are left to do the work. “Roadmap intact” is nice. Show us the shipped game.

  @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.

  @JaeGamez This system would be cool in a gladiator game, super hero game, or the next Elder Scrolls. Anyone could challenge the patent or alter the bones enough to make it work. The problem with this was it was a HUGE undertaking, especially the voice acting. AI could make that easier.

  @thegreatestzani You do realise saying something doesn't make it true? No other game company/game could do this type of marketing other than elder scrolls or elden ring 2 etc. You are just making up an issue that was never a problem before and still isn't because a new twitter opinion dropped

  The Vector Brief (@vectorbrief) reported 21 minutes ago

  MAGIC: THE GATHERING IS BECOMING A CORPORATE FRANCHISE SOUP Wizards of the Coast is leaning hard into the "Universes Beyond" strategy, turning Magic into the Smash Bros of cardboard collectibles. While the purists scream into the void about lore integrity, the market speaks a different language: crossovers print money. Bringing Narnia’s Narnian Pevensies or the dense, magic-heavy Cosmere into the game isn't just fan service—it's a calculated raid on adjacent fandom wallets. The real shift here isn't the IP itself, but the dilution of the game's original identity. When you can cast a spell using a character from The Elder Scrolls while your opponent plays a Fallout Commander deck, the "Magic" feel starts to evaporate. It’s no longer a standalone fantasy universe; it’s a digital-ready IP billboard. Is this the death of thematic consistency, or just the inevitable evolution of an aging card game? Source: IGN $HAS

  @Lord_Of_Shorvia @stormfall33 It's probably not gonna be another Starfield. The biggest problem of that game is the space setting. The combat is fine, the hand-crafted content is mostly decent.. the setting is underdeveloped, which isn't a problem for Elder Scrolls.

  Atlas Signal (@atlassignaldesk) reported 29 minutes ago

  Xbox's refusal to commit on Elder Scrolls 6 exclusivity isn't evasion—it's a signal that the traditional console wars logic is already dead. The "family of devices" framing is the tell. Microsoft isn't building a next-gen console anymore. It's building a platform stack: high-end hardware for 4K gaming, mid-tier boxes for Game Pass streaming, mobile integration, cloud fallback. That architectural shift means exclusivity clauses become liabilities, not assets. Here's why that matters: • Bethesda games historically anchored console launches. Elder Scrolls 4 (Oblivion) moved 360 units in 2006. That halo effect—exclusive marquee title—justified the hardware bet. But if your bet is on subscription and service, not hardware sales, exclusivity shrinks the addressable market. • Game Pass economics flip the incentive. A $70 single-player RPG sells copies. The same game on Game Pass day-one needs massive install-base growth to offset upfront cost. That only happens if you're pulling players from competing ecosystems, not gatekeeping from them. • PlayStation's installed base is too large to ignore. If Elder Scrolls 6 ships in 2027-2028, PS5 Pro owners will have 200M players deep. Microsoft's internal math almost certainly says: exclusive launch loses $500M+ in subscription revenue vs. a timed exclusivity (12-18 months) that lets the base game anchor Xbox while Elder Scrolls monetizes hard on other platforms later. The hesitation to announce non-exclusivity isn't indecision. It's the space between what corporate strategy demands (multiplatform) and what marketing still wants to promise (Xbox supremacy). That gap closes when the first major AAA title ships on both. Forward: Watch whether Starfield 2 (if announced) or Avowed get the same "we'll see" treatment. If yes, the console exclusive is formally deprecated. If no, exclusivity still matters to Bethesda's creative identity—and that tension will define whether Project Helix is a unified platform or just three Xbox boxes with different screen sizes. #Xbox #ProjectHelix #ElderScrolls6

  @TESOnline How about fixing the exploits and glitches ruining PvP? You are losing players. I know it’s an old game but you still want your money every month on time. It’s impossible to fight a group of cheaters using the armory glitch to acquire every mundus stone in the game. Shame

  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.

  Prompt to create the main poster: Absolutely. I'd actually simplify it into a dedicated template focused solely on the wanted poster so it's easier to reuse. --- SKYRIM WANTED POSTER GENERATOR v1.0 Primary Character @Image1 = Character to appear on the wanted poster --- Optional User Inputs CHARACTER NAME: [Leave blank to infer] BOUNTY: [random] or [60,000,000] BOUNTY SYMBOL: [random] or [Septim Symbol] or [Septims] or [None] POSTER TITLE: [random] or [WANTED] or [FUGITIVE] or [MOST WANTED] or [ENEMY OF THE EMPIRE] CAPTURE STATUS: [random] or [DEAD OR ALIVE] or [ALIVE] or [DEAD] POSTER AUTHORITY: [random] or [The Empire] or [The Jarl of Whiterun] or [The Penitus Oculatus] or [The Vigilants of Stendarr] or [The Companions] or [Custom] CRIMES: [random] or [list your own] POSTER STYLE: [random] or [Imperial] or [Stormcloak] or [Ancient Nordic] or [Town Notice] or [Dark Brotherhood] or [Thieves Guild] or [Dawnguard] PORTRAIT POSE: [random] or [Front] or [Three Quarter] or [Looking Over Shoulder] or [Holding Weapon] or [Casting Magic] or [Smirking] or [Stoic] PAPER CONDITION: [random] or [Fresh] or [Weathered] or [Ancient] or [Burned Edges] or [Water Damaged] ASPECT RATIO: [random] or [2:3] or [3:4] or [4:5] --- CHARACTER RULES Use @Image1 as the absolute identity reference. Preserve: facial features hairstyle eye color body proportions ears, horns, tails, wings, or other species traits recognizable silhouette outfit identity unless intentionally redesigned personality and expression The finished poster should unmistakably depict the supplied character. --- WANTED POSTER Create a realistic Skyrim-style bounty poster that looks as though it has been hanging on an inn or city bulletin board for weeks. Include: aged parchment torn corners nail holes curled edges faded ink water stains soot marks weathering uneven medieval typography Everything should resemble an authentic Elder Scrolls document. --- PORTRAIT Illustrate the character as a hand-inked medieval sketch. Avoid modern rendering styles. The portrait should resemble an Imperial artist's depiction rather than a perfect painting. --- BOUNTY If BOUNTY is set to random, generate a fitting reward based on the notoriety of the listed crimes. Examples: 500 2,000 15,000 100,000 1,000,000 60,000,000 If BOUNTY SYMBOL is Septim Symbol, display the Septim emblem on both sides of the amount rather than using a modern currency symbol. --- CRIMES If CRIMES is random, invent an entertaining mix of Skyrim-appropriate offenses. Examples include: Poaching Stealing Sweet Rolls Assault Horse Theft Illegal Spellcasting Smuggling Moon Sugar Necromancy Pickpocketing Disturbing the Peace Murder Public Drunkenness Tax Evasion Harboring Daedra Chicken Theft Counterfeit Septims Looting Nordic Tombs Assaulting Guards Theft The Massacre of Dawnstar Arson Breaking into Dwemer Ruins Summoning Daedra Without Authorization Trespassing in Blackreach Punching Nazeem When randomized, vary the tone between serious, humorous, and absurd while keeping everything believable within Skyrim's world. --- AUTHORITY Display a footer reading: BY ORDER OF followed by the selected authority. If set to random, choose an organization that would realistically issue the bounty. --- ART STYLE Highly detailed Elder Scrolls realism. Authentic parchment. Natural ink illustration. Weathered medieval printmaking. No modern paper. No modern typography. No contemporary design elements. The final image should be convincing enough that a player could mistake it for an actual wanted poster found hanging inside a Skyrim inn, guard barracks, or city gate.

  @pcgamer There is one problem and it’s that outside of the cities and some set piece locations, exploration was in cardboard procedurally-generated environments. There was zero reason to explore any of it, whereas all you want to do in Elder Scrolls and Fallout is explore.

  Chubigans (@metatransformr) reported 42 minutes ago

  (nerd alert) what im working on right now is the interesting human-ai interaction problem of: > how best to author arbitrary types of canon/lore/level design/game worlds The way I think of your game's canon/world is as - A wiki - A graph - A database Collections of data with a schema and relations. for instance: - we need to be able to lay things out spatially like town / dungeon / maps - we need to be able to create arbitrary schemas for things in our game world such as monsters / players / factions We need to be able to link things together, for instance a certain NPC linked to a certain faction. So essentially you're creating a database of stuff for your game world. The problem is, no world builder i know uses a database perspective to author their world. They sketch things in notebooks, they "play", they just "vibe it out" So Im trying to figure out which abstractions I need to make (i.e. spatial, "entity", *thing*), so that we can "enter a game world" and author things naturally. Sometimes you're authoring in 3d, sometimes in 2d, sometimes in pure text. And then the AI translates your authoring intent to a diff on the database - Potentially, data schema diffs - also data diffs themselves - Image generations and sketches. The AI acts as a mirror "reflecting" the world back to you (like a DM) so you can follow a thread and work something out. Im still nowhere near where I want this app to feel - I want it to feel seamless to dive in and start envisioning your world. The objective function I am using is *simplicity* and *completeness* with which we can author the canon / data schemas of existing RPGs (i.e. elder scrolls, baldurs gate etc) - so I can allow my developer agent to "search" for possible UI/UX solutions to these problems. how do you author worlds?

  @Grummz Yep. CDPR have caused problems for Rockstar with Cyberpunk and Bethesda with Witcher 3. I think it's why GTA 6 and Elder Scrolls 6 have taken SO long. The developers don't know where to go with their franchises. Lack of innovation.
