-
KhajiitCook (@Lgbt_Cherry) reported@Foxhound_N10 @TESOnline They need to have a good version that's pick up and play for new players. My problem is when they force players to do it instead of the other campaigns
-
Polynomos 🌑🐦⬛ (@Polynomos) reportedElder Scrolls 6 is gonna have animations even worse than this and no one will care bc modders will once again do their job for them and fix the game
-
@DarkPaladin000 (@Paladin000Xbox) reported@JamieMoranUK They do cost more you're absolutely right but there are some successful live service games out there Just look at Bethesda and how long they've done Fallout 76 An elder scrolls Online those games have a ton of players Sea of Thieves did at one point I'm not sure what it is now
-
Jean-Clawed (@dropandrot) reported@Pirat_Nation Why a company that is obsessed with cramming live service crap into everything hasn't thought to use the DA world building to make it a MMORPG, and milk it like Microsoft has done with Elder Scrolls Online, is a mystery.
-
goregram (@goregram) reported@TESOnline Games more broken then a onlyfans model relationship with her dad.
-
Stupid Fat Chud Goblin 🇵🇷🍉🇺🇦🇹🇼🇯🇴🇱🇧🇻🇪 (@RazzledSeal) reported@AlexWisnerArt I hope it has mod support in the future A lot of the elder scrolls like games have such horrid mod support And it’s such an important game of the games identity that you can always play it and do something new That isn’t a live service
-
Emily (@o_XxEmilyxX_o) reported@TESOnline Please fix the drop rate for the new Breton plans that drop in Daggerfall area. The purple plans are still not dropping.
-
Mike (@mikeawsome12) reportedHow about Bethesda next? Need the new Elder Scrolls and want them to drop fallout for a bit. Also, why not let the community mod/dev fix Star Citizen while their at it lol
-
AutummLeaf (@Sadesa212) reported@TESOnline for a second i thought you meant the servers were down come on man, i need my fix! the ladies will be busy tonite, need my Tomes
-
The It Factor 💫 MMA Betting (@TheItFactorMMA) reported@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?
-
Lord Haelor (@Lord_Of_Shorvia) reported@Radish_Doctor This is why I will usurp Todd. I'll fix the Elder Scrolls, I'll fix Fallout. Make Bethesda Great Again #MBGA
-
Gordo Compu (@TrueGordoCompu) reported@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.
-
Cosmic #dothack (@CosmicGaming91) reported@BethesdaStudios this is why i stopped ******* with your **** bethesda. we mod the games (NOT USING YOUR ****** CREATION CLUB) to fix your trash fire. then once its good and fixed, you light it on fire again. worry about something you SHOULD be doing like idk the next elder scrolls?
-
Stephen Sutherland (@sjsuth) reported@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.
-
Paladin Ashe (@PaladinAshe) reportedThat part about major cities was one of my huge criticisms. It's already something of an issue with prior Elder Scrolls games, because after Morrowind everything is a walled city with little sprawl, and major settlements always had sprawl in reality. However, Starfield has basically bland nothing beyond their cities. At least Cyrodiil or Skyrim are beautiful when off roading, but Starfield just...has nothing, and because it has nothing it feels smaller for it. The game already feels like every other system beyond the major ones is an irrelevant nothing, but when your major settlements are a singular stamp sized mark on a whole planet it just accentuates how tiny everything is. You don't even have the excuse of, "we scaled **** down from how the lore says it was" with this one. That's just a choice, a lazy one.
-
Rio (PUBLISHED: 'The Stones Will Shout') (@RioTheDragonMan) reported> I don't think Elder Scrolls will suffer that fate despite all the glaring issues of Skyrim to lifelong fans, it remains well respected enough I think TES 6 will sell gangbusters, but if TES 6 is FO76/Starfield quality I think TES will die painfully afterwards. >
-
Taye (@Tayetalks_) reported@GamzlyTKD @JezCorden Agree with most of that but not the side chick platform, there's a world where they play their cards right they acquire more users even via consoles. The problem is they haven't being playing their cards right. Elder Scrolls isn't enough - They need Fallout etc etc

RetroDirkGaming (@RetroDirkGaming) reportedSome people are all talk well, I put my money where my mouth is as it pertains to Sony #Playstation There are a number of factors that led up to this. It's clear that Sony doesn't give two 💩 about their customers. Sony should be on alert however because their arrogance could backfire from a business perspective longer term. They think we don't have options but what have they really done this gen? - They chased live service and it failed miserably. - Concord? failure - Marathon...not the success they wanted it to be resulting in major layoffs at Bungie - Bluepoint games? Gone - They could have been working on a Days Gone sequel but no. - Wasted 3 years of Naughty Dog development time on a Last of Us MP and then cancelled it. - Horizon series MP - who asked for this? - Relied on remasters to compensate for the lack of first party releases - Started pulling digital movies from their stores and customers lost access - Announced no more physical discs by 2028, meanwhile while quietly shrinking available physical inventory in the market. I could go on and on... Look if Playstation is your ecosystem, that's great! I will never, ever criticize someone for their gaming tastes and what works for them. But you can't possibly defend any of the above and you can't really question why people are disenfranchised not only by Sony but the industry in general. So, I'm going retro and with XBOX for my ecosystem. I love how they have play anywhere, backwards compatbility, rewards, cheevos, etc... I'm a fan of Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Halo, Gears so it's more of a fit for me. Yet, Last of Us and Marvel's Spider-Man are two of my fav game series but I can still play those on PC so...there ya go! I always say, my decision and desire to express my decision should be inconsequential to you. End o' story. Peace, Dirk @xbox #xbox

Bryan (@mononaut) reported@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.
-
St Spurs Man (@St_SpursMan) reportedIf elder scrolls 6 is mid in any way I’m going to crash tf out
-
Vex (@TheDarthVex) reported@CTPhipps1980 @RazorFist No one’s saying every programmer or artist decided to delay Elder Scrolls VI, but the issue is that Bethesda expanded its workforce while its output and quality took a nose dive the last 15+ years. Layoffs are a consequence of the studio’s overall severe lack of performance.
-
Bethesda Game Studios (@BethesdaStudios) reportedA hotfix is planned for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition tomorrow, August 27. On Xbox, this will fix a crash that occurs when opening the map multiple times; on PlayStation, this will fix a crash involving using the on-screen keyboard on the main menu, as well as an issue where the game showed the incorrect amount of Creations storage space.
-
Alright Stingy (@___Stingy___) reportedBethesda is notoriously known for relying on the community to fix their games (finish the rest of the development for the game) these developers deserve to be fired the last single player game was three years ago. “But fallout76 and elder scrolls online are mainline game”

Chroi (@Chroi90) reported@CS11__ I think the problem, is the hype. That'll happen when you take 12 years to come out with the next title. Elder Scrolls 6 will meet the same fate. Good lessons to learn, dont milk your IP to death on one title for an entire decade.
-
🚩(Prebiotic Broth) (@NODs_Fanatic) reported@AlexMindTricks @nuhre_ It’s a generational game ppl have been waiting to play for 10+ years with ridiculous hype. It’s going to make like a billion dollars bro. That doesn’t mean the industry can pretend they have GTA 6, not even Bethesda could sell Elder scrolls 6 for that much. It’s capitalism bro, supply and demand, GTA 6 is gonna be a live service game that is extremely popular for the next 2 decades. That doesn’t mean game devs are gonna start selling the new call of duty for $100, almost nobody would buy that **** for $100, but millions of people would buy GTA 6 for $500, let alone $100. It’s a product which is highly desired and therefore worth a **** ton, that’s capitalism, otherwise they’d sell it for less
-
Chonkiest Chonk (@ChonkiestChonks) reported@thecathguy I would have thought the whole magic thing would be the issue. You can actually launch fireballs and lightning bolts in Elder Scrolls unlike in real life. If we could do that in real life there would be no atheists here either. It's the fact we can't that atheists exist.
-
Speedy (@Adienspeedy) reported@PurpleMNinja @Criminalsimpson Yeah, no problem. It was fun even if I don't do RPs often. An Elder Scrolls Steamed Hams RP? How does that work?
-
tony_914 (@tony914_) reported@Strawhatmonger Elder scrolls and fallout are gonna have the same issue
-
Graham Smith (@SuperSmithBros) reported@St1ka @nameresu Again, if we look at actual development time its more like 8 years. They also arent forcing larger budgets and dev times on other devs at all. There are probably 4 or 5 franchises in total that do this. Elder Scrolls, Cyber Punk, Witcher and Rockstar games. Cyber Punk also made the mistake of releasing too early (which cost them dearly). I have no problem with that for these franchise (although elder scrolls is dragging and potentially because Bethesda track record isnt what is once was). Literally every other franchise does things differently... The ones that do it yearly burn out and lose customers from repetition. Other devs focus on more unique experiences. Each to their own.
