    One problem with games like GTA 6 and (I'm guessing) Elder Scrolls VI is that they took so long to make that the visuals are now outdated. Hopefully, they can integrate generative AI and salvage the presentation.

    ✧༺♥༻∞GUIRELLA ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM ENDED∞༺♥༻✧ 🌸Welp looks like it is a YT Server issue for the East coast I am praying it is better by tomorrow before going on my trip. Tonight we raided into @mino_mieko on Twitch & on YouTube we raided into Machina X Flayon!

    @JohnH0730 @dennistopia @thiccdotexe Ah the old appeal to majority comment. Millions of people believe fairies are real. See what Im getting at? The elder scrolls games have become quite shallow with every version that is a problem.

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Hi can you fix daily for Battlereeve Urcelmo and Lady Arabelle Davaux? Holgunn is ok. Both 2 are missing blue arrow on their boards - Ps5 eu. I checked emails i done all 3 yesterday but those 2 can't take today because of missing blue arrow.

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

    @railgundaniel That's part of the problem, it seems like it was designed by committee. It's paint by numbers in video game form. Don't get me wrong, I've finished the game and it's okay but imo it's the worst elder scrolls game. Decisions mean nothing, there's no real roleplaying, it's static.

    @GamzlyTKD @JezCorden Agree with most of that but not the side chick platform, there's a world where they play their cards right they acquire more users even via consoles. The problem is they haven't being playing their cards right. Elder Scrolls isn't enough - They need Fallout etc etc

    @GHBSmith The problem with Starfield was it was so interior heavy that you had to go through 5 loading screens to get to where you wanted. An Elder Scrolls game wouldn’t necessarily have this issue.

  • Rawr71081600

    @SeniorScrolls @Der_Kernel_ So what actually happened is Elder Scrolls Online. They wanted to rival WoW. The problem with this is that the nature of an MMO is that it is live service, they were planning on it being THE elder scrolls and thus did not develop another one. And now here we are with eso dead af.

  • FinalBoss_io
    FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported

    “The roadmap is unaffected” lands a little differently when 3,200 people just disappeared from the larger machine around it. Maybe Elder Scrolls 6 really is still on track. Maybe Oblivion Remastered still makes its Switch 2 window. But players have heard this line enough times to know what it usually means: the plan on paper survived. Whether the capacity survived is a different question. That’s the trust problem with studio reassurance after layoffs. Not that every statement is a lie. That a roadmap is only as real as the team, time, and priorities still standing behind it. A game doesn’t get delayed because the PR wording was off. It gets delayed because fewer people are left to do the work. “Roadmap intact” is nice. Show us the shipped game.

    @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.

    @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.

    blobjim (@blobjim) reported

    @twobugsGaming It's got a similar problem to Red Dead Redemption 2 in that the controls suck and the gameplay is too focused on the scripted story sections. Plus the next Elder Scrolls game will probably come out around the same time.

    @Shubhamxpawar The first time I got linux was when I was still using my old deadbeat hp computer which had intel pentium and 1gb ddr3 ram in it, so windows 7 was lagging like crazy, and then I read somewhere that for such kind of machines, linux does the job, and I got myself ubuntu and honestly it really did put new life into that machine, then I also managed to run osrs and elder scrolls 4 into it, had a blast using Linux until I got a gaming build haha

    @pcgamer There is one problem and it’s that outside of the cities and some set piece locations, exploration was in cardboard procedurally-generated environments. There was zero reason to explore any of it, whereas all you want to do in Elder Scrolls and Fallout is explore.

    @NobodyIsOurGuy I want an Elder Scrolls movie but my big problem would be with who would they cast for the Dragonborn and who's side would the Dragonborn be on in the civil war storyline? Also how would they be able to cover all the factions and dragon lore in a movie?

    @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

    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?

  • Nebulous86
    Tom Osborne (@Nebulous86) reported

    @Grummz Yep. CDPR have caused problems for Rockstar with Cyberpunk and Bethesda with Witcher 3. I think it's why GTA 6 and Elder Scrolls 6 have taken SO long. The developers don't know where to go with their franchises. Lack of innovation.

    The Vector Brief (@vectorbrief) reported

    MAGIC: THE GATHERING IS BECOMING A CORPORATE FRANCHISE SOUP Wizards of the Coast is leaning hard into the "Universes Beyond" strategy, turning Magic into the Smash Bros of cardboard collectibles. While the purists scream into the void about lore integrity, the market speaks a different language: crossovers print money. Bringing Narnia’s Narnian Pevensies or the dense, magic-heavy Cosmere into the game isn't just fan service—it's a calculated raid on adjacent fandom wallets. The real shift here isn't the IP itself, but the dilution of the game's original identity. When you can cast a spell using a character from The Elder Scrolls while your opponent plays a Fallout Commander deck, the "Magic" feel starts to evaporate. It’s no longer a standalone fantasy universe; it’s a digital-ready IP billboard. Is this the death of thematic consistency, or just the inevitable evolution of an aging card game? Source: IGN $HAS

    @WinC_Gaming Yeah that's the big problem. Exclusives mean nothing unless they have must-have games (released regularly) to back that plan up. Halo hasn't been that for a LONG time and they're going to need more than just Elder Scrolls 6 which is still years off.

    @verydrearydays I have the same issue with a gamemode in warframe being abbreviated to ESO, which is also the online elder scrolls game 😭

    @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.

    @ByteStix They have other people in your world lol. That's the problem lol! Played elder scrolls online and dropped it because all the other people running around on my screen got annoying. Think you'd have to wait for enemies to respawn after someone else killed them in your game too.
