Alvin Russell 𓆋 (@FearsomeLLC) reportedThe 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.

🚩(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

TJ Jimmy Falker (@FalkerTj) reported@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
-
GTJames (@GTJames4ATL) reported@XBOXTIMDOG Just take COD and Elder Scrolls of Playstation. Problem solved
-
Is Halo 7 out yet? (@Halo_HypeGuy) reported@lastchalice @XBOXTIMDOG And that's exactly why Xbox should make Elder Scrolls and other non-live service games full exclusives. If they go all in like the 360 era, Sony is cooked with their 1sr party network in shambles, most 3rd parties going full multiplatform and player trust dissolved.
-
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
-
GrimSyphr (@GrimSyphr) reported@bethesda now hire 50 straight white chud devs and @Asmongold to test and fix Elder Scrolls 6 and we can all be friends again.
-
Warthunder (@Warthunder1984) reported@Nick101Gaming Because Xbox can not sustain a game that size in scope why can’t you understand that Xbox has less then 30 million gamers all on gamepass a rental service that does not support buying and supporting the studios that make them the elder scrolls will come to ps5 no Xbox needed!!
-
Luminous Beings are We… (@Lordofsparta) reported@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
-
Vessel (@BlacklitEden) reported@JezCorden We gotta stop blaming 2013 for the various **** Xbox is in in 2026. PS3 was in just as much **** and was able to fix it within a generation. E.g. Mattrick didn't convince Satya/Hood to spend 7bil on Bethesda, then do **** all with Fallout/Elder Scrolls.
-
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?
-
Wesley ✨ (@wesleytypes) reportedI 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.

LaserShark (@LaserShark19) reported@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.
-
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?
-
Chubigans (@metatransformr) reported(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?

KhajiitCook (@Lgbt_Cherry) reported@Mark97009631616 @TESOnline Code needs to be consistent and work well a small error in it can cause alot of bugs from other lines of the code and they have to qa check everything and they got way less quality assurance team. So that's two bottlenecks.

𝔊𝔯𝔦𝔪𝔣𝔢𝔩 (@GrimfelOfficial) reported@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
-
Luminous Beings are We… (@Lordofsparta) reported@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
-
welington drey (@drey_welington) reported@MuchWhittering @Bogi_Norse @viiaeriis not the same thing at all, like AT ALL... with starfield people were expecting them to finally do something different (different as in better not innovative) but they were lazy as always and made the same broken and buggy ****, elder scrolls 6 looks like it'll be the same thing
-
Nethi ܸ⩌⩊⩌ ܸ (@NethiVr) reported@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
-
BlackFlamingo (@BlackFlamingo93) reported@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.
-
FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported“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.
-
Pusel (@PuselSpielt) reported@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.
-
Charlotte From The Trials of Mana Series ⬛🟧 (@Sumdood21764260) reported@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?
-
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.
-
2026 Superbowl Champions🐆 (@chase_chase123) reported@Hero5700 @nickjcal People would flee PlayStation in droves if Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout were Xbox console exclusives. The only issue is that most would go to PC instead of buying Xbox Helix
-
Tim Morris (@TCM9555) reported@hard8_times Halo. Gears. Forza. Call Of Duty. Fallout. Elder Scrolls. Starfield. Doom. Quake. Wolfenstein. Sea Of Thieves. Spyro. Crash Bandicoot. Dishonoured. Diablo. Flight Simulator. Indiana Jones. Blade. Age Of Empires. Minecraft. You missed a few out...
-
Ång 🇺🇸 (@fllady68) reported@TESOnline The lag in this game, especially now, is ridiculous.
-
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.
-
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.
