๐ฆDanDee๐ฅ (@FineNDanDee) reported@DrWoland1312 @NebsGoodTakes Its not a problem with Skyrim itself but a lot of ppl were just upset Bethesda Softworks kept re-releasing Skyrim instead of making a new Elder Scrolls

Aniket (@astriknormal) reported@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

welington drey (@drey_welington) reported@MuchWhittering @Bogi_Norse @viiaeriis not the same thing at all, like AT ALL... with starfield people were expecting them to finally do something different (different as in better not innovative) but they were lazy as always and made the same broken and buggy ****, elder scrolls 6 looks like it'll be the same thing

Jonathan.G (@Jonathan2134) reportedI remember this problem with elder scrolls: morrowind and other times. People don't own jack crap can just mute your audio.

Haywire (@jhaywire001) reported@Adolf_G0ttlich @Colteastwood Over exaggerated the issues is a thing. I think Fable developer lost some people due to shake up, same with ESO and Bethseda in general. Get 100+ places talking about death of Xbox, Fable, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc.. with no valid reasoning or proof.

Destiny 2 Funeral Atendee (@imStrawHatART) reportedElder scrolls 4 and 5 have been milked longer than the longest live service game you can think of this is unreal

Robert Gough (@SilentWraith87) reported@KeenEyeVP I mean it's the same as the Bethsda bugs. Elder Scrolls: Lol flying horse, typical Bethesda bug, they'll patch it. Witcher 3: Jesus christ CDPR you can't even keep your horse on the ground, broken garbage. Same bug, different studio, different reaction.

The Vector Brief (@vectorbrief) reportedMAGIC: 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 Narniaโs Narnian Pevensies or the dense, magic-heavy Cosmere into the game isn't just fan serviceโit'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. Itโs no longer a standalone fantasy universe; itโs 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

Atlas Signal (@atlassignaldesk) reportedXbox's refusal to commit on Elder Scrolls 6 exclusivity isn't evasionโit's a signal that the traditional console wars logic is already dead. The "family of devices" framing is the tell. Microsoft isn't building a next-gen console anymore. It's building a platform stack: high-end hardware for 4K gaming, mid-tier boxes for Game Pass streaming, mobile integration, cloud fallback. That architectural shift means exclusivity clauses become liabilities, not assets. Here's why that matters: โข Bethesda games historically anchored console launches. Elder Scrolls 4 (Oblivion) moved 360 units in 2006. That halo effectโexclusive marquee titleโjustified the hardware bet. But if your bet is on subscription and service, not hardware sales, exclusivity shrinks the addressable market. โข Game Pass economics flip the incentive. A $70 single-player RPG sells copies. The same game on Game Pass day-one needs massive install-base growth to offset upfront cost. That only happens if you're pulling players from competing ecosystems, not gatekeeping from them. โข PlayStation's installed base is too large to ignore. If Elder Scrolls 6 ships in 2027-2028, PS5 Pro owners will have 200M players deep. Microsoft's internal math almost certainly says: exclusive launch loses $500M+ in subscription revenue vs. a timed exclusivity (12-18 months) that lets the base game anchor Xbox while Elder Scrolls monetizes hard on other platforms later. The hesitation to announce non-exclusivity isn't indecision. It's the space between what corporate strategy demands (multiplatform) and what marketing still wants to promise (Xbox supremacy). That gap closes when the first major AAA title ships on both. Forward: Watch whether Starfield 2 (if announced) or Avowed get the same "we'll see" treatment. If yes, the console exclusive is formally deprecated. If no, exclusivity still matters to Bethesda's creative identityโand that tension will define whether Project Helix is a unified platform or just three Xbox boxes with different screen sizes. #Xbox #ProjectHelix #ElderScrolls6

Trevor Kozak (@TrevorKozak3) reported@TESOnline pls fix all the bugs and game crashes i cant even do a trial because i keep crashing and says booted from server

Wesley โจ (@wesleytypes) reportedI love Creation Engine. Propriety 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.

ebr (@ebr) reported@Grummz For reasons which may not be her fault the dev team at elder scrolls online was gutted. I suspect the problem had more to do with the failed attempt to turn Xbox live into Netflix for games, but the devs are still gone
-
Alright Stingy (@___Stingy___) reportedBethesda 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. โBut fallout76 and elder scrolls online are mainline gameโ

Tsurugi Smile Protector ๐ผ โณ๏ธ๐ฟ (@justhereforvt) reportedIf 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.

The It Factor ๐ซ MMA Betting (@TheItFactorMMA) reported@kidthewiiz @NikTek Is there no way to middle ground it for something like Elder Scrolls 6 to fix their city population issues that people complained about in Skyrim? Have your run of the mi interactable NPC count and backfill with these shallow NPCs?

JULL (@BeffGod) reported@de3dsoul The elder scrolls iv oblivion remastered even has fps issues on the ps5 pro. They did a terrible job

MarvinHeemeyerthe2nd (@heemeyerthe2nd) reported@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 wouldnโt necessarily have this issue.

Darth Flippant (@DarkFlipp) reported"Meow! You're not supposed to be in here, guards guards >:3 !" shouts @emiru The Imperial City is in some trouble, refugees from across Cyrodiil are FLOODING the area You see, the Oblivion gates re-opened But there's a problem "Where is the Hero of Kvatch? The champion?!" says a local peasant There was no main character... The gates kept opening It was hell on Nirn "We can't just let them in... We're already oversaturated!" Says the ENTP GRAND PROFESSOR @powdury , local researcher of everything social and magicka "And uhhh, well, it's slightly more dire than the situation back on Earth, but, **** em..." Says @Asmongold "The rules still apply, let no one in! We need to close those gates first!"

Jean-Clawed (@dropandrot) reported@Pirat_Nation Why a company that is obsessed with cramming live service crap into everything hasn't thought to use the DA world building to make it a MMORPG, and milk it like Microsoft has done with Elder Scrolls Online, is a mystery.

รmit ATASEVEN ๐น๐ท (@gececi53) reported@TESOnline Dear ZeniMax Online Studios / The Elder Scrollsยฎ Online Support Team, I understood the temporary deactivation of my account to protect against potential theft. However, despite providing all the required documentation (invoices/purchase receipts, secret question answers, and my personal information) that unequivocally proves my legal ownership of the account, the lack of any concrete action taken for days has become unacceptable. While I respect your security protocols, the prolonged delay and lack of a satisfactory response, despite providing all necessary proof of ownership, is causing significant hardship. As a player and customer, the continued unjustified blocking of my access to my account completely contradicts your understanding of customer satisfaction and service quality. Now that my account has been secured and my ownership has been fully verified, there is no longer any valid excuse for this delay. My request is clear: I demand that the block on my account be removed IMMEDIATELY and that my access be restored immediately. Otherwise, I inform you that if my grievance continues, I will be forced to take the matter to the relevant customer rights bodies and high-level authorities. I also warn you that I expect my case to be urgently transferred to a senior support staff member and resolved within the day. I request that the necessary action be taken immediately.

3V0 (@3V0_VTubing) reported@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.
