  • LastNinjaCow LastNinjaCow (@LastNinjaCow) reported

    I have no problem with Bethesda going exclusive on XBOX, when Elder Scrolls 6 drops, i'll be picking up a series X for it.

  • ShaneEdwards185 Shane Edwards (@ShaneEdwards185) reported

    @dvdhilditch1996 @IGN Fallout and elder scrolls are glitch galore

  • xamxamgaming Xam Xam | MMO Bits (@xamxamgaming) reported

    @LyriumElfAsasin @TESOnline I get that sometimes too but today it was a full-on 5-minute queue then, there was an error and it put me back on the login screen. Thankfully I got in after I logged in again...

  • TigerKHAAAAN Goggles Tigerkhan (@TigerKHAAAAN) reported

    @TESOnline i'm getting an error telling me the came is unable to initialize connection to steam. i've tried all the troubleshooting steps, but nothing works. is there a server issue, or am i just crazy?

  • Facebookisevil1 0.0 (@Facebookisevil1) reported

    @TESOnline @Xbox @Steam Can’t login through stream to play Elder Scrolls online. Please fix this soon

  • CaptainKupo Gamer Economy #B L M (@CaptainKupo) reported

    Everyone's gonna hype up starfield and elder scrolls 6 and then be dissapointed when theyre kind of lame but theyll still sell 5 million copies because you guys have problems

  • stingertc69 STINGERTC69 (@stingertc69) reported

    @LeonSediles @Wario64 What are you talking about none of the current elder scrolls games are broken

  • Nugget97369228 Nugget (@Nugget97369228) reported

    @Xbox @bethesda Wait that means elder scrolls 6 now this is a 3rd world problem

  • DLegion179 DarkLegion179 (@DLegion179) reported

    @BethesdaSupport elder scrolls online steam login isn’t working

  • lolTheRealDio TheRealDio (@lolTheRealDio) reported

    @Shawn_Shipp_ @Xbox @TESOnline But an online games-as-a-service games can milk gamers for cash bro. Might as well throw in a DLC sometimes to keep them paying for skins and pets right? Single player games make too little money for the penny pinchers in yhe game dev world. ******* annoying if you ask me.

  • splitend89 David Burdette/SplitEnd89 (@splitend89) reported

    @Romudeth Yeah, that's my big problem. Why can't you just say "Starfield, Elder Scrolls, only on Xbox/PC".

  • chrisaguilar504 Chris Aguilar (@chrisaguilar504) reported

    @benkenobi2020 @JeremyPenter It might also be Microsoft trying to push Sony's hand on allowing GamePass on Playstation. "You want future Bethesda games like Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout? Put our service on your platform or you won't get it". It's unlikely that Sony will allow it but it's pressure regardless.

  • ztpayne7 Zack Payne (@ztpayne7) reported

    @jedisaga @pixelplayermark Sometimes it’s not all about games. I had a lot of issues with my original Xbox and it left a sour taste. But I said in my reply above if I wasn’t so busy these days, games like Elder Scrolls would definitely make me consider getting one

  • DLegion179 DarkLegion179 (@DLegion179) reported

    @TESOnline HEY THE GAME IS NOT LETTING PEOPLE LOG ON THROUGH STEAM PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS

  • fissilegnu6 Fissilegnu6 (@fissilegnu6) reported

    @KJNxoARW @TESOnline If I was you I would do a little research before calling something a scam. I didnt notice that u had # that or I probably wouldn't have replied trying to be helpful. People like you are the problem with games today. Instantly running mouth without even checking.

  • Griffgames Mike Griffin (@Griffgames) reported

    @H_Sensa @MatPiscatella Not to mention, on PS Now as we speak you can play: Oblivion, Elder Scrolls Online, Doom 2016, Fallout 3, 4 and New Vegas, Wolfenstein 1, 2 and Old Blood, Dishonored 1 and 2, Prey, Evil Within 1 and 2, Rage 1 and 2. I.e., several Bethesda titles already on a PS sub service.

  • RhyRhyWhy An Ordinary Cat (@RhyRhyWhy) reported

    @JustAnLED Elder Scrolls 6 will be a live service passion project for Bethesda. Todd Howard went on to say: "We really wanted to take the series back to its roots and figure out what makes TES just work. We're asking a lot of big questions like 'What really gave Oblivion 16x the detail'"

  • jeromelad94 Jeromelad94 (@jeromelad94) reported

    @TESOnline I keep getting error code 334 I've tried multiple fixes and nothing resloves it

  • akaiiro Random Deepfake Khajiiti Mestizo (@akaiiro) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Can't login with Steam and other ppl seem to have the same problem. Plz check.

  • mignovus Mike (@mignovus) reported

    @julian_alejos @trekonlinegame This. Elder Scrolls Online did it no problem, so we know it’s not a console-technical or policy issue.

  • AdamR_K Adam Ramdhan K (@AdamR_K) reported

    @BethesdaSupport , I'm having this issue @ Elder Scrolls Online since morning. playing from steam, stuck at this screen. anyone having it too ? or there's anything I could do to encounter this ? Thankyou! #eso #elderscrollsonline

  • primis_gaming Primis Gaming (@primis_gaming) reported

    @Syborite1 @Colteastwood Online Games are long a issue for anyone. He meant games like Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online. Multi-Platform pure online games don’t bother anyone.

  • rafaelgrn Rafael Gerardo #XboxSeriesX (@rafaelgrn) reported

    @mynamisCHRIS Games as a service (Elder Scrolls Online e Fallout 76)

  • loserchik67 Samantha (@loserchik67) reported

    @TESOnline are there currently NA server issues? My guild mates and i are all being told we cannot initialize the connection to steam.

  • WyredAlice The Alice (@WyredAlice) reported

    Anyone else caught in the @TESOnline crash just now? That was new. A login queue. Hmmm..

  • GwiazdaLucas ConcernedGlobalCitizen (@GwiazdaLucas) reported

    @DeckerTweetz @XboxGamePass They also own Obsidian. I'd stay away from Ubisoft, I think that might be their next big acquisition, and reportedly they're bringing ubisoft subscription service into game pass, or something like that. Atleast you'll have a blast playing Morrowind, my favorite Elder Scrolls.

  • HazukiFC Davisson Carvalho #Jair2022 (@HazukiFC) reported

    @geoffkeighley @XboxP3 No. It didn't sound nothing quite what you've said. Sounded like exclusivity to the ecosystem (Xbox, PC&Cloud). DeathLoop e GhostWire will be Ps5 timed exclusives and those service games, such as The Elder Scrolls On Line, would keep the suport through the years to come. +

  • jackjackthebear The Bear (@jackjackthebear) reported

    @XRays_Insider I hope like hell that Bethesda’s mainline titles (fallout, elder scrolls) still get over specific releases. Not being able to use the console command function to fix problems and nerfing mods to be console only would suck.

  • heysjamke Sjamke 🎮 (@heysjamke) reported

    @HeroicGangster @TESOnline I checked on the Facebook group and someone mentioned that the issue is with Steam. The only time to do now is wait for @Steam to fix this issue.

  • fissilegnu6 Fissilegnu6 (@fissilegnu6) reported

    @KJNxoARW @TESOnline Was my understanding that all the race change and respecing will be free for like 2 weeks to give people a chance to fix stuff.
