  @RonnieBlaz3 @TESOnline Never had any issues with the server (EU PC)

  @Swurv__ That's the main problem. Bethesda perfectly knows that they could sell a pack of **** branded "elder scrolls 6" people would buy it without thinking. That's what they do for 10 years now.

  @TESOnline Wow, I thought people were being too hard on this, but they were right. Solo Veteran Dungeon: No problem. Solo one mob in Night Market: F#ck No!

  @TuryValdez @DuneAwakening I know what you’re talking about. I had the same issue with Elder scrolls online. The camera and the character model not in sync just hurts my head

  @SMGold_ I love me some elder scrolls but everyone knows thats glitch of a game isnt the best game made. Now excuse me while I find the save state that doesn't have my character falling through the floor.

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline @BethesdaSupport, do you suppose it might be time to fix the All the Worlds a Stage bug in FO76?

  Josh (@BigJK123123) reported 18 minutes ago

  @ZephhyLeo @CultClassicCage Yet the game still had plenty of bugs, glitches & issues, some of which were present in their 2002 Elder Scrolls game. "it was less glitchy than Fallout 4" It bloody should be, that game notoriously had performance issues, and technical flaws even found in the recent re-release.

  @TESOnline The NM is so fun, I haven't been doing anything else. The only two things I see we need are more loot from ALL trials to drop randomly, and please fix the quests/arrows that seem to disappear with no sketch book to draw in, for example. The free house, once unlocked, is awesome!!

  "Elder Scrolls 6 has big competition-" "New game will destroy TES6-" "Fans of TES won't need TES6 with this new game-" No, the problem is that there is no replacement or competition for it. Do you think we are playing TES for its unrivaled quality?? No. We are mentally ill.

  The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered by publisher Bethesda Softworks has not received a formal PC patch since Update 1.2 was released in July 2025. Frame rates dropping and traversal stuttering are still a problem for players.

  @BethesdaSupport elder scrolls online (PlayStation) you need to fix the toad-tongue boss because it doesn’t respond been waiting for 3 days now starting to be annoying!

  🥓IndependentlyModerate🥓 (@IndependentFur) reported 26 minutes ago

  @GFoxlore @ClaireMax It's really not, especially depending on when the universe technically would be placed in the RL context. Most likely of it was Elder Scrolls for example, that issue never comes because it's not important to the plot.

  Ender Rising (@EnderRising) reported 28 minutes ago

  @GameOnJesse @DestinLegarie COD will be the first then Elder Scrolls, followed by the next Halo, Gears, etc. Slippery Slope. Everyone saying reduce the price don’t even realize every streaming service has gone up or had features such as 4K streaming.

  @TESOnline @JoeyAKangaroo Yeah let's focus on that rather than actually fixing genuine issues.

  @TESOnline This is all great, but can you fix control layout B? You don't junk until you Release the thumbstick. Imagine if you didn't jump until you released the face button. It's awful and has been broken for years now.

  @Swurv__ Crimson Desert isn't an Elder Scrolls killer but it's showing us what could... People say Skyrim holds up but I can't play it again without a few thousand mods, Lorerim/Nolvus completely revamp the game to a modern standard and I can't go back to vanilla. I enjoyed it in it's time but it's dead for anyone that's already been there done that... let's be honest. Bethesda has nothing to worry about on sales and player numbers on release day but they should be worried about retention. I can't play Starfield it's the same old jank it just looks a little better but in a few years once Bethesda tosses it aside and modders do their magic I'll probably put a thousand hours more on it. I'll pre order it the morning of release and wait a couple weeks before the refund deadline to play it, see if Bethesda has improved or not because I can't do another plain three slash bethesda game, I just can't it's 30 years old. It took them until starfield just to figure out ladders... LADDERS meanwhile FO4 modders made functional ladders in their engine they said couldn't do it lol that should be telling us something. The lore will save it, the lore is what most of us care about, we live with the bethesda jank but we shouldn't have to. They also forced their lore writer out, that's a problem...

  @LilithLovett Current Triple A meta is multiplayer shooters with live service and ranking systems, unfortunately. Elder Scrolls 6 is on hold till Todd figures out how to make it a multiplayer shooter. Let's hope he learns from Fallout 76.

  @Infi_Gabe95 @brandon1luv @TRIPSTER0 I can name s bunch they have Forza, Halo, Gears, Crash, Spyro, Fable, Elder Scrolls, and the 1 game Sony and Jim Ryan were crying about being exclusive Call of Duty in 2033 once that contract is up make it exclusive Sonys #1 3rd party franchise goes bye bye

  Nethilez (@Nethilez) reported 37 minutes ago

  @Xylus19 @Dee_Batch @klobrille I see no issue either but that’s the logic. Elder Scrolls became multi platform so I understand if future iterations are as well. As for Sony tactics, Square Enix is backing off because it’s not profitable for them. But it’s more about expectations for each 1st party studio 1/2

  @JeffsawHomes @IGN All while removing CoD, the biggest game in the service, setting a 1 year window for it's release, which is pointless for a mostly online game that does yearly releases. This also sets a precedent for other large games to not be included Day 1. Elder Scrolls VI, Halo 7, E-Day?

• 
  Valdenn (@sirvaldenn) reported 38 minutes ago

  @Swurv__ True enough about Crimson Desert. Elder Scrolls VI has a Bethesda problem, though. Yeah, it'll make money, but not as much as if it were good. Starfield suffered because people saw and said how abysmal it was. TES VI will have the same issue.

  @TESOnline Please fix the issues with night market instances. Skirmishes are active but everyone I go to one 1 out of 5 times there not a single soul even though the group finder is full of them. I’m a solo player that don’t like to group. Am I SOL?

  The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition developed by Bethesda Game Studios for the Nintendo Switch 2 port added improvements with an update 1.2 in February 2026 such as a new 60 FPS mode, a stable 30 FPS mode, and reduced input lag but it still costs $60 for a 15 year old game.

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline What is the point of performing such lengthy server maintenance when you fail to ban players who use hacks to glitch through the ground in Cyrodiil—and, above all, those bots that farm materials and XP across all of Tamriel? It is contradictory and feels like a mockery of us

  @Raven0178 @Swurv__ Did you actually play crimson desert? Lol. It obviously would have elder scrolls abilities and combat because its an elder scrolls game just everything about crimson desert works so much better than elder scrolls games, cell based games are cumbersome to the extreme, I shouldn't need seven loading screens in the same town, you know? I'm just kind of over that. I want more of what crimson desert offered me. And id love it if that came from a studio like bethesda with its rich story and lore, because honestly, they suck at the back end ****. I think everyone UNANIMOUSLY agrees on that, hence why "its not a bug its a feature" its such a well known bethesda meme. Everything they make comes riddled with bugs and issues and we are fine with it because its bethesda, I dont want to be fine with it, I want my cake and I want to eat it too, I want the rich story and I want the amazing engine for it to run on in the background. You can keep paying for ur slop if you want though.

  @TESOnline The problem is that after reaching 10000 favors you have no reason to interact with the night market anymore.
