  @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

  @_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

  @GenePark probably not. I've been playing Elder Scrolls on PC since childhood, I resent Microsoft for buying up every loose studio they could to feed game pass thinking they had the next infinite money glitch in gaming, only to shutter these studios and lay off generational talent.

  @werty2346 @vicious696 They spent a good couple years making starfield, upgrading the engine, then once that finished went onto elder scrolls while still making starfield DLC and content updates. Doing all this while maintaining a multiplayer live service, developing a newer version of their engine

  I 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.

  @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.

  Robert Gough (@SilentWraith87) reported 23 minutes ago

  @HazzadorGamin However in between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, they also released Skyrim....uh the original Skyrim, not one of the many re-releases that is. Now they don't do that. So the problem isn't necessarily the dev time of Elder Scrolls 6 and how long it's taking it's they released that

  Virkokka (@virkokka) reported 24 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.

  @FarmerChewy @Pirat_Nation Exactly. Their games are fun, but under Microsoft’s cashflow umbrella, Starfield still had a few issues and the next Elder Scrolls still hasn’t been shown or teased So unfortunately, I don’t think these layoffs will have a meaningful impact. If its worse, then that’s on Microsoft

  @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.

  Lula Molusco do Guerra nas Estrelas (@SW_Squid) reported 40 minutes ago

  @SynthPotato I don’t think it’s such a big deal. It was very obvious in Starfield because the player is constantly fast traveling. This should not be an issue in Elder Scrolls and Fallout where the game takes place in mostly one exterior map.

  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.

  It’s a Nexus-created problem (at least for Elder Scrolls). Modding IS complicated because of possessive mod authors. If something has dependencies or conflicts, mod packs are still prohibited so the user must spend hours resolving it. This was discouraged pre-Nexus **********.

  CIA (@cia_rumored) reported 56 minutes ago

  @MassiveCorgi @BecerratopsTV @pcgamer Bethesda collectively created its own problems. Nobody wanted Starfield; the game sucked, and it ******* most of their resources for years. The market told them "Elder Scrolls" and "Fallout 5," but they decided that they knew better. Bethesda employees are losing their jobs because of inside factors, not outside factors. And yeah, it sucks that probably some good developers got caught in that crossfire. But I'm just sick of these companies insulting the player base and then wanting sympathy when they reap what they sow.

  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.
