  @Opethftw @pcgamer Got you talking about it 9 years later. The dev team of 76 is a studio that works specifically on live service games. It’s not people in bgs that could be working on the next elder scrolls or fallout.

  @bethesda Dear ZeniMax Online Studios / The Elder Scrolls® Online Support Team, I am requesting that my account be temporarily disabled to protect against potential theft. However, despite providing all necessary documentation (invoices/purchase receipts, answers to questions, and my personal information) definitively proving my ownership of the account, the lack of concrete action for days has become unacceptable. Your disregard for security protocols, the prolonged delay despite providing all necessary proof of ownership, and the lack of a satisfactory response are causing significant difficulties. As a player and customer, the continued unfair blocking of my account completely contradicts your understanding of customer satisfaction and service quality. My account is now secure and my hosting is fully verified, therefore there is no longer a valid excuse for this delay. My request is clear: I demand the DEHAL of the block on my account and the uninterrupted restoration of access. Otherwise, if my complaint continues, I will be forced to pursue this matter through customer rights courts and higher authorities. I would also like to state that I expect an urgent disruption to my file due to recent support issues and the events that transpired on the same day. I request to participate in the necessary competition.

  @KeezTheFlex @SentMush @Caffeinefunk 100% agree with this they have way more corporate bs that is their problem. Loading is more minor yet understandable qol. They dont even have the og lore guy for elder scrolls. Like wtf. The main lore guy for everything up to skyrim is gone. ES6 might be doo too from that alone.

  @reishiGrowth Again, they announced elder scrolls 6 in like. 2017 or something. Cyberpunk was announced in like 2014. (Actually... CDPR and Bethesda both seem to struggle with the same issue...)

  @thegreatestzani You do realise saying something doesn't make it true? No other game company/game could do this type of marketing other than elder scrolls or elden ring 2 etc. You are just making up an issue that was never a problem before and still isn't because a new twitter opinion dropped

  This is Gears, this will be Fabel if the next one isn't well received, this is Dragon Age, this will be Fallout and Elder Scrolls if Bethesda don't fix up.

  @Stealth40k 1) I know about that but I did have to temporarily erase it to save space for Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remaster coming out soon. Then I hear ESOR has technical issues Bethesda hasn’t fixed across all systems yet. It’s gonna be lots of fun or I’ll find myself reinstalling MKW on

  Xbox doesn't have an exclusives problem. I think it has a trust problem. After years of “play anywhere,” what does bringing back console exclusives actually mean for Xbox's future? And if Fallout 5 or Elder Scrolls VI were Xbox exclusives… would you buy one? 🎮 What do you think?

  Vessel (@BlacklitEden) reported 30 minutes ago

  @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.

  @NOTimothyLottes Ratchet and Clank is the only modern Sony game that interests me, none of what they're doing these days is attractive which is mostly GoW and Spiderman and a billion live service flop... My taste is largely fulfilled by XBOX which is RPGs like Starfield, Avowed, OW2, Clockwork Revolution, and hopefully a frickin Elder Scrolls game soon

  @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.

  @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

  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.

  Prompt to create the main poster: Absolutely. I'd actually simplify it into a dedicated template focused solely on the wanted poster so it's easier to reuse. --- SKYRIM WANTED POSTER GENERATOR v1.0 Primary Character @Image1 = Character to appear on the wanted poster --- Optional User Inputs CHARACTER NAME: [Leave blank to infer] BOUNTY: [random] or [60,000,000] BOUNTY SYMBOL: [random] or [Septim Symbol] or [Septims] or [None] POSTER TITLE: [random] or [WANTED] or [FUGITIVE] or [MOST WANTED] or [ENEMY OF THE EMPIRE] CAPTURE STATUS: [random] or [DEAD OR ALIVE] or [ALIVE] or [DEAD] POSTER AUTHORITY: [random] or [The Empire] or [The Jarl of Whiterun] or [The Penitus Oculatus] or [The Vigilants of Stendarr] or [The Companions] or [Custom] CRIMES: [random] or [list your own] POSTER STYLE: [random] or [Imperial] or [Stormcloak] or [Ancient Nordic] or [Town Notice] or [Dark Brotherhood] or [Thieves Guild] or [Dawnguard] PORTRAIT POSE: [random] or [Front] or [Three Quarter] or [Looking Over Shoulder] or [Holding Weapon] or [Casting Magic] or [Smirking] or [Stoic] PAPER CONDITION: [random] or [Fresh] or [Weathered] or [Ancient] or [Burned Edges] or [Water Damaged] ASPECT RATIO: [random] or [2:3] or [3:4] or [4:5] --- CHARACTER RULES Use @Image1 as the absolute identity reference. Preserve: facial features hairstyle eye color body proportions ears, horns, tails, wings, or other species traits recognizable silhouette outfit identity unless intentionally redesigned personality and expression The finished poster should unmistakably depict the supplied character. --- WANTED POSTER Create a realistic Skyrim-style bounty poster that looks as though it has been hanging on an inn or city bulletin board for weeks. Include: aged parchment torn corners nail holes curled edges faded ink water stains soot marks weathering uneven medieval typography Everything should resemble an authentic Elder Scrolls document. --- PORTRAIT Illustrate the character as a hand-inked medieval sketch. Avoid modern rendering styles. The portrait should resemble an Imperial artist's depiction rather than a perfect painting. --- BOUNTY If BOUNTY is set to random, generate a fitting reward based on the notoriety of the listed crimes. Examples: 500 2,000 15,000 100,000 1,000,000 60,000,000 If BOUNTY SYMBOL is Septim Symbol, display the Septim emblem on both sides of the amount rather than using a modern currency symbol. --- CRIMES If CRIMES is random, invent an entertaining mix of Skyrim-appropriate offenses. Examples include: Poaching Stealing Sweet Rolls Assault Horse Theft Illegal Spellcasting Smuggling Moon Sugar Necromancy Pickpocketing Disturbing the Peace Murder Public Drunkenness Tax Evasion Harboring Daedra Chicken Theft Counterfeit Septims Looting Nordic Tombs Assaulting Guards Theft The Massacre of Dawnstar Arson Breaking into Dwemer Ruins Summoning Daedra Without Authorization Trespassing in Blackreach Punching Nazeem When randomized, vary the tone between serious, humorous, and absurd while keeping everything believable within Skyrim's world. --- AUTHORITY Display a footer reading: BY ORDER OF followed by the selected authority. If set to random, choose an organization that would realistically issue the bounty. --- ART STYLE Highly detailed Elder Scrolls realism. Authentic parchment. Natural ink illustration. Weathered medieval printmaking. No modern paper. No modern typography. No contemporary design elements. The final image should be convincing enough that a player could mistake it for an actual wanted poster found hanging inside a Skyrim inn, guard barracks, or city gate.

  @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.

  @The_End_602 @valuetainment Lmfaooo, you're the clown, brother. All I own is PlayStations. I have a PS2, PS3, PS4, and PS5. I only own one Xbox, and that was a gift back in 2014. You're the problem with gamers nowadays; it's either one side or the other. Sony ****** up, and I will always call them out on their bullshit. Also, Asha is doing God's work on the Xbox side by whipping Bethesda into shape. Do you know how ******* long I've been waiting for a new Elder Scrolls game, let alone a Fallout 5 announcement? Hell yeah, she's doing better than Sony right now.

  @TESOnline it’s ridiculous that when I’m in a dungeon, people keep pulling me to the final boss when I’m trying to do something for the quest and when pulled past the prompt or boss needed for the quest that it bugs it for me. Fix your game 😭

  @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.

  @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
