  @TESOnline Somehow, you’ve got to fix that first quest because we’ve got bought account spamming the button making it so that nobody can get in or you’ve got people being impatient going in and out blocking other people from going in being toxic like no other

  @IGN The Elder Scrolls 6 delay hits hard. We saw the same slow quality loop in quantum dataset labeling where expert verification added 18 months but cut error rates by half.

  @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.

  @FussyPastor Prompt was iterated on: 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

  @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.

  @KarolWalczak9 @pureMetatron What do you keep doing as time goes on? I gotta get back to that. I have this weird issue I run into with every Elder Scrolls since Morrowind that I spend too much time minmaxing, do random stuff eschewing the main quest, get bored then come back years later and repeat it's sad

  @ther3n3gad3 Great point of view, he messed up badly in '76, and even more so with the game's decisions. They still have the problem with the graphics engine, and they have to deliver The Elder Scrolls; they have a lot to worry about.

  The Bethesda Address today screams to me, a level of desperation to maintain a calm temperature to the fans. Gamers should never have been asked to wait 10-15 years for a mainline Fallout or Elder Scrolls game, while you milk wallets for a live service game in Fallout 76, a title that no one cares about. Phil should’ve done something about this years ago, but it took a woman from Wisconsin who doesn’t play games to get in that *** and shake things up. Bethesda is on a hidden timer, and I’m still not sure they’re going to deliver. @XBOX

  Not working on fallout, and didn’t even start working on elder scrolls until this very year. Are they seriously just focusing the entire company on maintaining ESO? Updating starfield?

  @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.

  Phil (@MrPhilDaMan) reported 23 minutes ago

  @GenePark No. If anything I’d wait for next gen. But even then the problem is Xbox is back to having no games. Halo, fallout, doom and elder scrolls? And they want to churn them out now like assassins creed and call of duty? I’m good. Everyone knew gamepass wasn’t profitable and hurt sales of games like avowed and cod.

  @TheGameVerse Bethesda will never get rid of that **** engine! Expect shitloads more loading screens in Fallout and Elder Scrolls VI as well as launch day bugs that will STILL BE THERE DECADES LATER bc Todd & his team are too ******* lazy to fix them! Case in point: While playing Oblivion Remastered I had to touch the Sigil Stones to close the Oblivion gates and transit back to Cyrodill but it wouldn’t work. Had to look it up AND FOUND OUT IT’S A ******* BUG FROM THE ORIGINAL 2006 LAUNCH VERSION! THEY NEVER FIXED IT! IT’S A 20 YEAR OLD BUG! I had to go into the menu and toggle the graphics settings to trigger the transition!😭😭😭 Fuckn **** legacy studio.😒

  Dinnu daniel (@daniel_adinnu) reported 33 minutes ago

  “No, the roadmap is unaffected.” That’s Bethesda’s entire response when asked whether The Elder Scrolls VI would be delayed by Xbox’s layoffs, four words delivered to a YouTuber after Microsoft cut 1,600 jobs immediately and marked another 1,600 for elimination over the next year. Here’s the sentence that complicates it. The Elder Scrolls Online, made by ZeniMax Online Studios, a sister team under the same publisher, lost over 200 employees in the same round of cuts. Their own public statement wasn’t reassurance. It was an admission: “roadmaps we previously shared will be shifting.” Same company, same week, same wave of layoffs, and the two teams gave opposite answers to the same question. That’s not necessarily a contradiction. The Elder Scrolls VI’s team may genuinely have been protected while a live-service team absorbing over a hundred lost staff clearly wasn’t. But it does mean “the roadmap is unaffected” isn’t a statement about Xbox’s restructuring. It’s a statement about one specific team’s staffing, issued at a moment when a studio one floor over was saying the opposite about theirs. Current and former staff have reportedly told IGN they expect delays, crunch, and heavier reliance on contractors unfamiliar with Bethesda’s internal tools regardless of what the official line says. Bethesda’s statement answers the question it was asked. It doesn’t answer the one everyone’s actually worried about.

  @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

  @kiwitalkz "At this point, Elder Scrolls 6 might as well be the next Half-Life 3, a myth." It already was... that's part of the problem. 15 years since the last mainline Elder Scrolls game release, 8 years since the announcement teaser... So many rereleases of the same games...

  @xaviersonline_ why is it assumed that you must “age out” of the hobby? Nobody talks that way about enjoying movies or similar. anyways tho it’s **** elder scrolls, no one cares anymore and it’s gonna be ‘build your own castle’ slop and that’s the main issue, aging out or not.

  Alex Walason (@AlexWalason) reported 50 minutes ago

  I'm extremely disappointed in the amount of people not only overlooking these layoffs, but also wishing others got fired (Todd, Emil, etc.) you people are ******* monsters and should be ashamed of yourselves. Some of these YouTubers need to get ahold of their audiences lack of a heart and start wondering why they have such hatred for other people. I do blame certain YouTubers (not all are bad) for the vitriol we are seeing. Stop attacking Todd Howard and acting like he's the problem Btw, they fired a quest designer from The Elder Scrolls VI. One that worked on Fallout London. How is this supposed to get these games out quicker? Look, we can all still be super excited for these games and that Microsoft is gonna focus on them while also acknowledging how ****** the layoffs are. The Elder Scrolls VI is my most anticipated game ever, and I can't wait for Obsidians new Fallout, but that doesn't change the fact of what's happening.

  440 unionized Bethesda and ZeniMax workers laid off. Now the people making The Elder Scrolls 6 are warning about delays, crunch, and QA hotfixes before the game even has a public roadmap. That’s not “production is hard.” That’s management deciding the people who ship the game are the part it can absorb. If your workers need a march to tell you the schedule is broken, the schedule was never real.

  @HazzadorGamin BGS has always made games that the majority don't care about. The entire Elder Scrolls series, for example. Fallout, for example. Everything BGS does is for a niche audience. Skyrim stands out, but it is not the rule. Their problem is execution, not concept.

  @SunnySideBot @9mmsmg Yeah the argue is retarded. They have immediately fired like 1000 or 1500 and another 1000 will be done by the end of the year because they were making games no one ******* wanted this. And with this also, xbox is demanding the studios they bought like bethesda to go back to making games people want and not more live service bullshit. Essentially they told them to actually start heavy dev on elder scrolls 6 instead od slow rolling **** cause of the live service game. Now idk how true this is cause its a rumor that Xbox leadership also told bethesda to not even think of another fallout game and gave that develop to obsidian for right now. Which makes sense cause elder scrolls 6 was announced a decade ago.
