  @nuhre_ I REALY want an Elder Scrolls 6. But from Bethesda as it was 10+ years ago, not Bethesda of today. I honestly want them to crash and burn before they make a 6th and ruin it like I know they will. They were my favorite, and they have lost favor.

  This is the ******* problem with fans, constantly defending devs. Literally if this dumbass would’ve actually read the message that Bethesda put out They didn’t even start production on fallout 5 and this ************ is wondering why people are getting fired they’re getting fired because they’re not ******* doing what people want them to do. They’re not making games people want. We’re literally 15+ years on waiting on a new elder scrolls, title and some of us will be ******* dead before we even play fallout five

  @Mangalawyer Problem is not having diversity Elder scrolls also have diversity, but like Starfield, it's not forced but lore accurate and with good writing that we don't even need to complain about it Plus,Starfield team just wanted to put their own ideals instead of listening to todd and others, there is a reasn why there are stuff in starfield which make zero sense to be there like that mug and all

  @SynthPotato Not necessarily; they could break the system down and redo it to make loading screens less of an issue, but the question is, does Todd have that type of will in him? Elder Scrolls 6 is Todd’s make it or break it moment, if he can’t deliver a masterpiece he’s going to be retired.

  @RedDeadDovah @TESOnline What's lost in this is their investment in Live Service games is not panning out, even with successful games like this one. Why should we continue to invest time and resources in these games if they will just get canceled eventually?

  The only "Delay" for this game is that they're not working on it in the first place. It's never coming out lol, Elder Scrolls 6 flat out doesn't exist

  @KingFanMan @Microsoft 14 layers of management is far too many. Nothing moves efficiently when every idea and decision has to fight its way through that much bureaucracy. Here’s a simple way to picture it: Try dragging a 140-pound weight across the room. It’s doable, but it’s exhausting, you move slowly and burn through a ton of energy. Now take away 90–110 pounds and try again. The lighter load travels much farther, much faster, with far less effort. When that “weight” represents creative ideas, design decisions, and priorities, too many layers create massive drag. The result is stagnant complacency. Xbox needs to be able to move again. We need quality over quantity. Bethesda should have been much further along with The Elder Scrolls VI by now, and a new mainline Fallout game should feel more imminent especially after the huge momentum from the TV series. Instead, for years resources went toward supporting live service titles like Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online while the big single player RPGs that define the studio took a backseat. The hardcore players who keep those live service games running do valuable work, but they don’t move consoles or create the same cultural moments that a major new Elder Scrolls or Fallout release does. I do feel bad for the people who got laid off plenty of talented developers got caught up in this. Spreading the studio too thin across too many projects clearly wasn’t working. Hopefully this reset forces a sharper focus on the core franchises so the next big games actually land with real impact.

  @aletthius @TESOnline Henards library is broken. Quest stuck no options for anything.

  I think we needed Starfield to happen so we could collectively lower our expectations for The Elder Scrolls 6. Because let’s be honest even when it does inevitably come out. It’s gonna be broken with a million problems that will take months to fix.

  @TESOnline @BethesdaStudios I've been an ESO customer for nearly a decade. The recent gameplay and communication improvements convinced me the game had a bright future, and I saw former players returning because of those changes. As a loyal customer, I'm concerned that reducing the development team now risks undoing that progress. ESO has earned a dedicated community over more than ten years. I hope Microsoft continues investing in one of its most successful live-service games rather than allowing that momentum to fade.

  @TongueToad @TKsMantis If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I think for games like RDR and GTA it's fine. Bethesda however I would say it's worse there because let's be honest Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Starfield, they all look, feel and play exactly the same, down to the UI and while on the one hand

  Amy🇵🇸 aka my pen names Morthva or Autumn (@AmyHill16566827) reported 29 minutes ago

  @voEROSttv I loved Elder Scrolls Online but just like with WoW, I really didn’t enjoy the raids. Raids are great if you enjoy the DPS as a group but I like to see what my character can do without the chaos. Also I have a customer service job, I don’t want to socialize very much in the game. Sounds weird I know but I do love the quests.

  KingFanMan Bethesda (@KingFanMan) reported 30 minutes ago

  @TKsMantis The is no doubt been complete mismanagement of their two biggest games. How do you go over 10 years without even working on a single player Fallout or Elder Scrolls? Only problem, the ones who made that decision are still there.

  VG Frogman (@frogpitgaming) reported 32 minutes ago

  @RedDeadDovah @TESOnline They genuinely believe that successful live service games are "set and forget". They don't understand why a live service game that is already successful would need more than a skeleton crew. I don't think they would understand it even if you explained it with crayon drawings.

  @BethesdaStudios Do people play Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online? I read the numbers…I don’t know anyone who personally does. I tried 76 with a buddy and we enjoyed it for a minute but it was a massive glitch fest and that was like two years ago.

  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

  Obsidian was always openly progressive The problem with the Outer Worlds and Avowed is that everyone wanted them to be FO or Elder Scrolls style of open world RPG and they clearly were not.

  After 15 years of not working on a new Elder Scrolls game, Bethesda staff threaten to...*checks notes*...continue not working on an Elder Scrolls game.

  Virkokka (@virkokka) reported 55 minutes ago

  @SuperP1ayerX @GHBSmith The issue is that I care about Elder Scrolls, not the other games. There's still not enough value for me to buy a console, even if all the other games were also exclusive.

  AFCjel (@MrDrProf2) reported 57 minutes ago

  @BethesdaStudios As a die-gard Elder Scrolls fan and a huge Fallout fan, this all sounds dreamy, fine and dandy. Issue is when this all is coming out. I am also worried about the quality of the games, but more about release dates. We dob't expect an exact date, but at least an approximate year/s.

  @DVADigital323 It should not its elder scrolls lol And if it’s exclusive to console and pc Its Not working out and Not going to make enough Money Same with e day is Coming to ps5 anyways

  Elder Scrolls VI will suffer because it’s made by today’s Bethesda. Retaining employees who were already producing mid games wouldn’t fix that.

  @Reply_Addict The problem is that starfield makes it really obvious. In Elder Scrolls or Fallout you get a loading screen when entering a house or city. With Starfield you get like 6 loading screens just by switching a planet. Starfield was just too much

  @RozzelcopterTV @PlayStation That's a live service game. You do realise that once Bethesda EoS'ed Elder Scrolls Online, your physical copy will become useless right? 🙃 It'll happen, but not anytime soon... but Xbox layoffs is making me not hopeful
