    Kloot that’s not the problem. Is there anyone in the world saying I must get a xbox for gamepass? Thats the Crux of issue If you make elder scrolls 6 exclusive yeah thats what ppl say. The problem is the numbers might not be there to do that and keep day one. It’s all headed towards exclusives and huge AAA being exclusive but no day and date. Been saying this for 5 months. Starting to roost.

    @BethesdaStudios Look, I love the Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Have since I first booted up my Xbox to play Morrowind in 2002. But you guys needed a kick in the ***. I hate that all those employees got fired, but taking 20 years to release a game, and then another decade of no DLC or content for said game, and relying only on modders to fill in what you left out, is the most laziest and snobbiest **** you could have ever run for a company. And not telling people about games or projects coming up, being so tight lipped and superior, and holier than thou art. On a gaming engine that is already 40 years old and barely works at launch, and takes a year to fix the game. Bethesda needed a kick in the ***. And it was long overdue.

    @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.

    @denkatabro @AION2Official I really don't understand how people can say that live service is a dead end, it's still very much alive. I love single player games, played some like the Witcher games, Fallout series, Elder Scrolls, Deus Ex, Arx Fatalis etc but saying that live service is dead is very asinine

    @TheAnnaji They’ve fixed a majority of the gameplay problems but the world is still very boring and sanitized compared to the elder scrolls and fallout.

    @superprivatesgm @TESOnline @bethesda Trans carachters were in the exact summerset expansion you speak of and inclusive dialogue was in the game before that... Tanlorins problem is they are just horribly written.

  • gaersstapa
    Gærsstapa (@gaersstapa) reported

    @lastchalice Frankly I think its going to tank their studio. Whether it sells or not is irrelevant; the time it took, the costs, the issues, etc. Its GG. Further Hammerfell is a bad place to set it now with the ongoing real world discourse, if they wanted Hammerfell it should have released in 2021-2023. Now it will come off as developer tokenism and DEI. And to be real, looking at the developers out protesting, yea, it does look like that. Which means we are getting The Elder Scrolls: Starfield Edition. And I definitely don't think the team has the ability to make it as modular as Skyrim, which is the real reason the game is still a dominant force in its player base, from SteamDB; Skyrim SE: 39,382 players as of typing. Oblivion Remaster: 2,464 players as of typing. Starfield: 6,446 players as of typing.

    Alonso A (@WaifusTrash) reported

    @SynthPotato It was a massive problem for Starfield because everything needed a loading screen. This is not much of a problem in Elder Scrolls or Fallout. There is a lot more to explore and see between the loading screens. This is something that was severely lacking in Starfield.

  • AntiPar2ival
    AP on 𝕏 (@AntiPar2ival) reported

    @SynthPotato Not necessarily; they could break the system down and redo it to make loading screens less of an issue, but the question is, does Todd have that type of will in him? Elder Scrolls 6 is Todd’s make it or break it moment, if he can’t deliver a masterpiece he’s going to be retired.

    @TESOnline Yall should really fix Cyrodill and Imperial City! There are some nerfs that are much needed, like the stamina/magica drain, make it fair again please! Can’t break free, roll dodge, or block… just stuck eating it… got the best gear build, it’s just the getting stuck thing.

  • Alexandre99665
    Alexandre (@Alexandre99665) reported

    @LaresIsaac14 @eXtas1stv I had forgotten about Call of Duty. It's such a massive release that Game Pass doesn't make up for the lost sales. If they really do end day-one releases, The Elder Scrolls VI will probably be the second franchise to arrive on the service a year later.

  • Warthunder1984
    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!!

    @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?

    I remember this problem with elder scrolls: morrowind and other times. People don't own jack crap can just mute your audio.

  • Halo_HypeGuy
    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.

  • ___Stingy___
    Alright Stingy (@___Stingy___) reported

    Bethesda 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”

    @SynthPotato With Fallout and Elder Scrolls it’s only for interiors and maybe big cities. The main problem with Starfield is that you have so many loading screens switching planets. Boarding the ship, leaving planet, traveling to new planet, entering planet, leaving ship. Every time a ls

    St. Michael (@StMichael93) reported

    After years of delivering nothing on Fallout and Elder Scrolls (Dear Todd, ESO and Fallout 76 are live service games, for an entirely different fanbase) Microsoft finally pulled the rug on Bethesda and gave their IP to Obsidian again to remake Fallout New Vegas

    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

    Ronin_Blades (@ronin_blades) reported

    @LoneWolfMitsuni Thats fair, however elder scrolls and fallout are still two very good and popular series which are plagued with bugs and optimization issues... so I wouldn't call Beasts of Reincarnation **** til you play or seen someone play it to get the full scope of the game. Thats just my op

    So Elder Scrolls 6 is probably taking another 2-3 years minimum, but really I just need Bethesda to get their **** together on optimizing their games' performance. Starfield and especially the Oblivion remake has MASSIVE performance issues, and Bethesda won't even acknowledge it
