-
Noir 浮世 (@madcap412) reportedXbox failure as a console is unforgivable You had Xbox (Halo, Gears, Fable, Forza, Psychonauts, Killer Instinct, Banjo, Conker, etc) + Bethesda (Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Dishonored, Wolfenstein, Doom) + Activision (Call of Duty, Crash, Spyro) + Blizzard (Overwatch, StarCraft, WarCraft, Diablo) = and still produce the worst console of this gen...so unsuccessful you went full third-party publisher....and are STILL a horrible multiplat publisher Xbox has been an experiment proving that Microsoft is unfit for gaming They need to sell their IP's to more worthy companies and **** gaming

Michael Walton (@WanderingDrengr) reported@luscielia Elder scrolls 6… I’ve been waiting 15 years for this game and I would crawl over broken glass just to meet the man who was lucky enough to sell his soul for the elder scrolls 6
-
Wazzupguys (@WazzupR2012) reported@ZikadaPrime Pulling PlayStation and Switch ports of Minecraft, Overwatch, Elder Scrolls and Call of Duty among others out of service would be able to help Xbox.
-
Accidental Suicide the Clinton Foundation (@truegram) reported@Foxhound_N10 @TESOnline I guess you haven't played in awhile then because the new mythic mixed 2 outher sets 1shots "everyone" in a millisecond less then 1 frame in cyro just go look at the eso forums. An I don't have faith they'll fix it or have more broken thing's that make ppl quit next update.
-
Nicholas Hanson (@da_asmodai) reportedI have LOTS of ideas but probably either an Elder Scrolls style open world game with procedural terrain and dungeon generaition, AI agent NPCs so their schedules were more dynamic and they had unlimited voiced dialog options. Or a MMO that fixes all the things I think are broken in them.
-
SavePoint (@savepoint_tr) reportedWild origin story unearthed at PCG towers — the name "The Elder Scrolls: Arena" was basically a last‑minute fix to pre‑printed boxes. 📦🧾🎮 • Ted Peterson says Arena shifted from tournament combat to full RPG as sidequests and dungeon‑delving took priority. • With boxes already printed, devs invented the Empire nickname "the Arena" and Vijay Lakshman slapped on "The Elder Scrolls" — its meaning barely defined. • A serendipitous, awkward label became the foundation of a decades‑long franchise. Would you keep a quirky, last‑minute title if it could become the next megafranchise, or rebrand for clarity? #ElderScrolls #GameHistory

GenericNPC (@GenericNPC187) reported@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.
-
Big John (@judofright) reportedGeForce now is trash. Elder scrolls online keeps getting this weird bug. It's the wrong button binding and I can't fix it. Too many problems with these streaming services.
-
Darellano (@Darellano344205) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline What is the point of performing such lengthy server maintenance when you fail to ban players who use hacks to glitch through the ground in Cyrodiil—and, above all, those bots that farm materials and XP across all of Tamriel? It is contradictory and feels like a mockery of us
-
Tim Quitzau (@tim_quitzau) reported@TESOnline Not fixing the game just adding more reasons for the game to crash. I get the point
-
omnijoel (@omnijoel_) reported@GameRant It will suck for a long time. Do I think there is a world where D3 happens, D2 continues? Yeah, but the mountains would have to move... D2 needs a lot of love to fix and that might just be the issue. (Eververse is also important in that topic... (look at elder scrolls Online))
-
Ron Paul🇺🇲 (@alienteslax) reported@magicmacabre @TESOnline I'm on console and I do lag so idk what to tell you.
-
Nicky The Sweet TigerWoof (@NTSTWBoooi) reported@joseagu59410157 @GamingAzoozDev @TESOnline Did any of your addons require you to change the game files in any way? If you're playing through steam you can validate your files. I don't want to assume anything though, so what exactly have you done to try and fix this? Then I can see what else you could try.
-
Captain Redbeard (@xCaptRedbeard) reported@Pip_Playz I mean, you could say the same thing about Elder Scrolls and Fallout, especially during the first few years of release. Broken, repetitive, but still enjoyable. Bethesda just doesn’t handhold, so we have to use a bit of imagination and head-canon. To each their own, though.

Jared Shapiro (@GetFitWithJared) reported@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

HowDatFeel (@joseagu59410157) reported@MosesGames @TESOnline The only thing they care about is how to make 2 billions dollars again it's so sad I spent $60 for eso sub biggest mistake I have done they cant even fix day one bugs 😪
-
Zero-Space (@beardedreviewer) reported@maxdeploy @WarhorseStudios Bethesda made Fallout and Elder Scrolls. What's the issue?
-
117 (@117_GuiltySpark) reported@yrulaughing418 @RayKump That’s still part of the issue. It’s why the next Elder Scrolls was announced 8 years ago before taking a backseat to Starfield. Giant game companies can’t dev more than one thing at a time, they’ve don’t have that ability any more apparently.

ComicBook Dad (@douglas_peay) reported@Bielbelial1 @ddggarciaz This is the problem i have with Sony fanboys you can't stop telling lies. For one that list is bullshit your showing life time sales of playstation games. Let's be real for a second Minecraft and Elder Scrolls dog walks anything Sony could ever do.

Trevor Rieger (@trevorriegerxxx) reportedThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered from Bethesda Softworks still suffers from severe technical issues including persistent crashes and performance degradation over a year after its April 22, 2025 launch.
-
Accidental Suicide the Clinton Foundation (@truegram) reported@TESOnline Update is more broken then the relationship between a Onlyfans model an her dad
-
Joseph Kemper (@JosephDKemper) reported@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.
-
HowDatFeel (@joseagu59410157) reported@TESOnline Night market of death why is the loot trash and why is it still bugged are u guys really lazy on fixing your game lol or is it cheap fix your trash mode plz 6 moths subs down the drain and season pass is also trash just let u know charging people season pass with eso plus lol

Quebber 💙🇺🇦 🏳️🌈 (@Calranthe) reportedI used to pre-order every @BethesdaStudios game and every @WeArePlayground Forza game. Microslop has with it's enforcement of copilot and "service" convinced me to "wait and see", I am still looking forward to Elder scrolls 6, but until I see how and if they will support external modding I won't buy it. As for Forza horizons 6, the next instalment of my favourite car franchise, I want to see it running and make sure Microsoft hasn't forced copilot into it.

azza (@therealazza1) reported@BethesdaSupport having trouble setting up account on elder scrolls online. cant email you because keep having this error Error: Steam account link not found. Please link your Steam account to an existing ESO account via the Linked Accounts page or create a new account.

☉ Eldred 🜨 (@EldredBD) reported@WifiBee @guitargeminix @LostMemeArchive As an Oblivion enjoyer, I have heard my fill of "Skyrim 2 when?" For the last 15 years. So I get it. I just feel as though I've heard Bethesda people call it "scrolls" before, though usually they say "elder scrolls". I agree its stupid to try to take issue with it.

Xycofox (@xycofox) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Did you guys fix the issue where players ESO Plus subscriptions weren't getting activated?

Trevor Rieger (@trevorriegerxxx) reportedThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered by publisher Bethesda Softworks has not received a formal PC patch since Update 1.2 was released in July 2025. Frame rates dropping and traversal stuttering are still a problem for players.
