  @MorrowindGOTY I worked for a small time at Bethesda and zenimax. No one cared for the elder scrolls blades. People were playing ESO and Fallout 76 because there weren't new single player games. They have been trying to keep the service route alive as long as they can.

  @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?

  @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

  @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.

  If it's not a big deal, why patch an 11 or 15 year old game? The truth of the matter, this is likely to become a huge issue where Bethesda is going to try and milk money from mods. I have very little hope left for Elder Scrolls VI, at this point. Bethesda has fallen.

  @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?

  That 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.

  @JBishie They need to fix that storefront before they expect pc players to use it. Even still, when games were exclusive to EGS, PC players would just skip them, saying “no steam no buy”. They may grab the latest Elder Scrolls, but most PC players will skip Xbox games if this is true.

  @Reply_Addict The problem is that starfield makes it really obvious. In Elder Scrolls or Fallout you get a loading screen when entering a house or city. With Starfield you get like 6 loading screens just by switching a planet. Starfield was just too much

  @NobodyIsOurGuy I want an Elder Scrolls movie but my big problem would be with who would they cast for the Dragonborn and who's side would the Dragonborn be on in the civil war storyline? Also how would they be able to cover all the factions and dragon lore in a movie?

  @Aurelian_27 @danno_omen Well if they start holding back Day 1 games they're going to have a big subscriber drop off. CoD makes sense, it's the biggest selling game every year and is stupid expensive to produce. Removing it and lowering the price $7 was a decent trade off, but if you start removing Halo, Gears, Elder Scrolls or Fallout you're going to have backlash. Think of it this way, for every 10 subscribers that keep Game Pass Ultimate over Premium for a month, they get the same revenue as 1 sale. It's easier to sell a $23 sub than a $70 game but then if those users stay on the service, Microsoft gets that money every month no matter what other game they put out.

  @Adolf_G0ttlich @Colteastwood Over exaggerated the issues is a thing. I think Fable developer lost some people due to shake up, same with ESO and Bethseda in general. Get 100+ places talking about death of Xbox, Fable, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc.. with no valid reasoning or proof.

  @Shubhamxpawar The first time I got linux was when I was still using my old deadbeat hp computer which had intel pentium and 1gb ddr3 ram in it, so windows 7 was lagging like crazy, and then I read somewhere that for such kind of machines, linux does the job, and I got myself ubuntu and honestly it really did put new life into that machine, then I also managed to run osrs and elder scrolls 4 into it, had a blast using Linux until I got a gaming build haha

  @DreamsNStardust @Mikester430 @ColdCriti Haven’t played Elder Scrolls but Fallout NV and 4 definitely have some great open worlds. 3 I wasn’t too big a fan of. Also yeah it would have been cool to have some settlements in ER for sure. I think that’s a valid complaint but for me this wasn’t a huge issue personally.

  @aaniVibeTheory Idk fallout new vegas if you can polish it a bit and fix bugs without ****** up what was there. Elder scrolls Morowind too... if you mean an upgraded revamp the true crime streets series. Dont kill my wallet though fo an already made polish up. Bought it once prior save my wallet

  @TESOnline Near unplayable. 3 hour wait to get into PvP zone to participate in the event. Soon as you try to fight someone you realize they’re using the armory glitch and are immortal. Full heavy armor with all buffs and this guy can cheat kill you in one second. ESO thinks this is fair. No

  @reishiGrowth Again, they announced elder scrolls 6 in like. 2017 or something. Cyberpunk was announced in like 2014. (Actually... CDPR and Bethesda both seem to struggle with the same issue...)

  How 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

  @bethesda Dear ZeniMax Online Studios / The Elder Scrolls® Online Support Team, I am requesting that my account be temporarily disabled to protect against potential theft. However, despite providing all necessary documentation (invoices/purchase receipts, answers to questions, and my personal information) definitively proving my ownership of the account, the lack of concrete action for days has become unacceptable. Your disregard for security protocols, the prolonged delay despite providing all necessary proof of ownership, and the lack of a satisfactory response are causing significant difficulties. As a player and customer, the continued unfair blocking of my account completely contradicts your understanding of customer satisfaction and service quality. My account is now secure and my hosting is fully verified, therefore there is no longer a valid excuse for this delay. My request is clear: I demand the DEHAL of the block on my account and the uninterrupted restoration of access. Otherwise, if my complaint continues, I will be forced to pursue this matter through customer rights courts and higher authorities. I would also like to state that I expect an urgent disruption to my file due to recent support issues and the events that transpired on the same day. I request to participate in the necessary competition.

  It’s a Nexus-created problem (at least for Elder Scrolls). Modding IS complicated because of possessive mod authors. If something has dependencies or conflicts, mod packs are still prohibited so the user must spend hours resolving it. This was discouraged pre-Nexus **********.

  A lot of people are focusing on the "poor shaming" aspect But it's more of an industry issue. $80-100 for GTA, Elder Scrolls, massive games like that, sure maybe. $80-$100 for a 4-8 hour story game or worse a 20 hour bloated with busy work to justify the dollar to hour games. No

  @abandonedmuse I think it just runs at a lower rate as I didn't max out usage Build an explorable 3D RPG world in Three.js based on the attached image. It has to feel like Elder Scrolls daggerfall in feel, FPS RPG, with collision detection, no clipping or defects on geometry, AAA visuals with HDR lighting and shadow shaders, target 60fps, split all the work into sub agents like terrain, props/geometry, materials/textures, lighting, physics, controls/camera, performance. Assign one sub-agent per stream. Each sub-agent owns its stream end to end and reports what it built plus what is still weak. Integrate, then run a review pass: walk the world, list every visible defect, fix them. Repeat till you get it perfect

  @KeenEyeVP I mean it's the same as the Bethsda bugs. Elder Scrolls: Lol flying horse, typical Bethesda bug, they'll patch it. Witcher 3: Jesus christ CDPR you can't even keep your horse on the ground, broken garbage. Same bug, different studio, different reaction.
