    @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.

    @SynthPotato I don’t think it’s such a big deal. It was very obvious in Starfield because the player is constantly fast traveling. This should not be an issue in Elder Scrolls and Fallout where the game takes place in mostly one exterior map.

    @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

    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

    @k1llegal_ I’ve been an Xbox fan first for the majority of my life. They screwed up too many times (with the last straw being 2024’s multiplatform strategy) and for the most part lost me. All of Xbox’s issues come from their own baffling mistakes. They’ve earned the criticism. Having said that, I own all of the systems and will be buying Gears E-Day on my Series X. I’m not a platform warrior. I’m a consumer who cares about the games. Xbox has every right to make Elder Scrolls exclusive because they own it, but I think it would be a ****** thing to do to take it away from Sony and Nintendo who have had those games for up to 20 years. No one has ever had Insomniacs Spiderman and Wolverine besides PlayStation, and as an internal first party studio no one should. Though, if they came to Xbox why should I care? More people get to play them, though I think it would be a terrible business decision, much like Xbox’s push away from exclusives over the last few years.

    @JayDook Starfields biggest issue was it wasn’t Elder Scrolls 6 or Fallout 5 and that’s what people wanted

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Hi can you fix daily for Battlereeve Urcelmo and Lady Arabelle Davaux? Holgunn is ok. Both 2 are missing blue arrow on their boards - Ps5 eu. I checked emails i done all 3 yesterday but those 2 can't take today because of missing blue arrow.

    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.

    @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.

    @VogueFGC Yup, they were good. Unfortunately with Strikes broken and the other bugs - on top of the bear changes - I'm debating re-installing Elder Scrolls. It's a bit silly how badly WoW does on patches isn't it.

    "Meow! You're not supposed to be in here, guards guards >:3 !" shouts @emiru The Imperial City is in some trouble, refugees from across Cyrodiil are FLOODING the area You see, the Oblivion gates re-opened But there's a problem "Where is the Hero of Kvatch? The champion?!" says a local peasant There was no main character... The gates kept opening It was hell on Nirn "We can't just let them in... We're already oversaturated!" Says the ENTP GRAND PROFESSOR @powdury , local researcher of everything social and magicka "And uhhh, well, it's slightly more dire than the situation back on Earth, but, **** em..." Says @Asmongold "The rules still apply, let no one in! We need to close those gates first!"

    @AgentOink You can have loading screens without necessarily breaking the immersion. Starfield did not achieved that and made the loading screens „problem“ more obvious than a Fallout or Elder Scrolls.

    @BladerLBM Saving anywhere is honestly the least of Daggerfall's problems lol. Same for any other Elder Scrolls game for that matter.

  • wesleytypes

    I love Creation Engine. Proprietary engines play a significant role in forming a game's identity and I would never wish that away. Bethesda is who they are in large part because of this engine. That said, to spend countless years and millions of dollars on a new game and NOT strive to break new ground or do something you haven't before feels like a waste. The Creation Engine hasn't shown a meaningful capacity to grow and change with modern gaming expectation and that's a problem. I still want Bethesda games to feel like Bethesda games, but if Creation Engine 3 doesn't massively impress and prove that it can deliver a truly modern gaming experience, it will be imperative that Bethesda make changes that I don't think they're willing to make. At this point, promising the future of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout on Creation Engine feels like a giant gamble.

    @asha_shar Imagine if Elder Scrolls, Diablo, Fallout, Crash bandicoot, Spyro and so much more were exclusive to Xbox. Helix would sell like hotcakes! 🥞

    The Elder Scrolls VI is going to be... big!? Wow! Whoa! I could not care less. Bethesda's obsession with scale over focus has been a problem since Oblivion, and it's only gotten substantially worse over time. "The game world is the size of a real country!" I don't care.

    @Nerdcognito I have no problem with orcs not being inherently evil in some settings Shadowrun, elder scrolls, Ebrron and OG Warcraft all depict them well However Human they are not They are aggressive, temperamental and live to be lead by the strong They are not oppressed

    @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

    @CassieKittenVR Different tech at the time. Keep in mind that Bethesda is a bit like monster hunter with their engine. Each generation of games are working on the same system just modified to fix their current IP, which was ether Elder scrolls or Fallout. What a mess x3

    @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.
