  @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.

  @lastchalice You use *Oblivion Remastered* as an argument that *The Elder Scrolls VI* needs to be released on PlayStation. But people overlook an important detail: *Oblivion* is part of a strategy defined years ago under the leadership of Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond as part of "Project Latitude" when the priority was expanding Xbox games to other platforms. Strategies change. Leadership changes. The market changes. If Asha Sharma truly intends to rebuild the value of the Xbox brand, *The Elder Scrolls VI* is precisely the kind of game that should remain exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem. We are talking about an IP capable of selling consoles, strengthening Game Pass, giving consumers a clear reason to choose Xbox, and even weakening the competition's catalog in the next generation. Exclusivity has never been a problem for Sony, Nintendo, or any company looking to strengthen its ecosystem. On the contrary, it creates an identity for the platform. Xbox's biggest mistake was abandoning that differentiator; now, they are going to pursue it more aggressively. And that is absolutely right: if you want to play games from Bethesda, ABK, and Xbox Game Studios, buy an Xbox, subscribe to Game Pass, or buy the game on Steam—PlayStation and Switch won't have access to these games anymore!

  @masmorragamer That would be an issue if the game was trying to be Elder Scrolls. Luckily it isn't.

  @drggon52 @TESOnline I'm concerned about how much lag this can potentially generate.

  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.

  @Mark97009631616 @TESOnline One of the hardest jobs in programming is looking at someones previous coding and add on to it without causing some huge problems end point.

  @HazzadorGamin @JezCorden problem with ips like fallout and elder scrolls is if they make it console exclusive it will kill the games sales as those games sell so well because its on literally everything.

  @asha_shar Can you please have Bethesda fix Oblivion remastered across all platforms before the Elder Scrolls 6 comes out.

  If they fix the crashing in NV im sold, probably only proyect im interested in becuase i know well Fallout 5 or Elder Scrolls 6 are gonna be another starfield.

  @asha_shar Imagine if Elder Scrolls, Diablo, Fallout, Crash bandicoot, Spyro and so much more were exclusive to Xbox. Helix would sell like hotcakes! 🥞

  St. Michael (@StMichael93) reported 25 minutes ago

  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

• 
  Justin (@Justin__NC) reported 27 minutes ago

  @_Deez_Games It is good news for all their franchises. I welcome it But the problem is that we should be talking fallout 6 and elder scrolls 7 coming out soon. They should be doing concept work for fallout 7 and elder scrolls 7/8 by now, not just starting fallout 5

• 
  Alright Stingy (@___Stingy___) reported 27 minutes ago

  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”

  MonsieurOblivion (@MonsierOblivion) reported 28 minutes ago

  @nichegamer Looking forward to it, but i'm afraid the games i'm mostly hoping for are not coming. Elder Scrolls Oblivion for example has a PC version, but no Controller support. Would be great to get the 360 version instead. Has lots of issues via Xenia 3rd party, Xbox could fix that.

  Tim Turley (@TurleyDurden01) reported 30 minutes ago

  @DrunkRepub My problem, too. And I played the original Elder Scrolls: Arena and several of its sequels for way too long (mainly because you couldn't wander around killing things in such a wide world in most games). Somehow, by Skyrim it got old.

  @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

  andy (@andymke) reported 37 minutes ago

  @a_space_alien @JuiceHead33 Yes the long term employees can help develop new talent, but they're also the least likely to want to try something new the "We've always done it this way" mind set is powerful in long time workers "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" you might say, but 15 years and counting for a new Elder Scrolls game shows that something at Bethesda is broken and needs to be fixed.

  Alvin Russell 𓆋 (@FearsomeLLC) reported 38 minutes ago

  The 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.

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline i deleted and reinstalled it, same issue. Im on PS5 and just spent 6 hours reinstalling the game for it to not fix the bug like you said.

  Phill (@dmnqwk) reported 38 minutes ago

  @VogueFGC Yup, they were good. Unfortunately with Strikes broken and the other bugs - on top of the bear changes - I'm debating re-installing Elder Scrolls. It's a bit silly how badly WoW does on patches isn't it.

  𝔊𝔯𝔦𝔪𝔣𝔢𝔩 (@GrimfelOfficial) reported 40 minutes ago

  @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

  @TESOnline I downloaded a patch on 13 July, game won’t let me sign in. Deleted game from my PS5, reinstalled, still won’t let me log in. What do I need to do? I saw some comments about deleting saved data but too scared I’ll lose all progress and ££££ I’ve spent.

  Alonso A (@WaifusTrash) reported 44 minutes ago

  @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.

  If their work was as good as they claimed it to be, they'd have no issues finding jobs at other game companies. Also, in actually interesting news, Elder Scrolls 6 is in a "playable" state just based on this headline.
