  > I don't think Elder Scrolls will suffer that fate despite all the glaring issues of Skyrim to lifelong fans, it remains well respected enough I think TES 6 will sell gangbusters, but if TES 6 is FO76/Starfield quality I think TES will die painfully afterwards. >

  @_bryanisreal @fuckusernamejor @daviruz Remind me. Didn’t Elder Scrolls 5 have micro transactions that started the whole mess we are in currently? I don’t see the issue in grinding levels. They were trying something new? It’s a good game On its own

  This is Gears, this will be Fabel if the next one isn't well received, this is Dragon Age, this will be Fallout and Elder Scrolls if Bethesda don't fix up.

  This has become a larger issue than just with GTA. Even when you look at The Elder Scrolls VI, people believe it's been in development for 15 years when it only entered full production in 2023 following the release of Starfield. The sad reality is all of this is so easy to Google but people remain ignorant

  @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.

  Yes, as a totally starved Elder Scrolls lore fanatic, I will definitely over-analyze this. A few observations: - The province for The Elder Scrolls VI has long been rumored to be Hammerfell, to the point where it's almost certain. The number of asterisks she used could be random, but if they're not, they don't fit "Hammerfell". Skyrim and Morrowind are the only Elder Scrolls games that are actually named after the province they take place in, so this isn't an issue. It will probably have a unique subtitle. - By saying the story is greater than the already incredible scale and grandeur of the game, is she saying the story is better than the exploration and questing? Certainly not. This is actually a weird thing to say about the Elder Scrolls, a franchise from a studio that is typically known for weak main quest writing, which we all forgive because the exploration and side quests are the real star. We all understand that, but her vague praise seems to contradict. - Asha saying something public about this game is surely part of her plan to crack the doors open at Bethesda. I wouldn't be surprised if we finally see something substantial about the game this year. What she saw could even be a work in progress demo slice for a future show. Can't believe we're doing this still, but a fans gotta eat.

  @reishiGrowth Again, they announced elder scrolls 6 in like. 2017 or something. Cyberpunk was announced in like 2014. (Actually... CDPR and Bethesda both seem to struggle with the same issue...)

  @abandonedmuse I think it just runs at a lower rate as I didn't max out usage Build an explorable 3D RPG world in Three.js based on the attached image. It has to feel like Elder Scrolls daggerfall in feel, FPS RPG, with collision detection, no clipping or defects on geometry, AAA visuals with HDR lighting and shadow shaders, target 60fps, split all the work into sub agents like terrain, props/geometry, materials/textures, lighting, physics, controls/camera, performance. Assign one sub-agent per stream. Each sub-agent owns its stream end to end and reports what it built plus what is still weak. Integrate, then run a review pass: walk the world, list every visible defect, fix them. Repeat till you get it perfect

  @DreamsNStardust @Mikester430 @ColdCriti Haven’t played Elder Scrolls but Fallout NV and 4 definitely have some great open worlds. 3 I wasn’t too big a fan of. Also yeah it would have been cool to have some settlements in ER for sure. I think that’s a valid complaint but for me this wasn’t a huge issue personally.

  Paladin Ashe (@PaladinAshe) reported 33 minutes ago

  That part about major cities was one of my huge criticisms. It's already something of an issue with prior Elder Scrolls games, because after Morrowind everything is a walled city with little sprawl, and major settlements always had sprawl in reality. However, Starfield has basically bland nothing beyond their cities. At least Cyrodiil or Skyrim are beautiful when off roading, but Starfield just...has nothing, and because it has nothing it feels smaller for it. The game already feels like every other system beyond the major ones is an irrelevant nothing, but when your major settlements are a singular stamp sized mark on a whole planet it just accentuates how tiny everything is. You don't even have the excuse of, "we scaled **** down from how the lore says it was" with this one. That's just a choice, a lazy one.

  @TheAnnaji They’ve fixed a majority of the gameplay problems but the world is still very boring and sanitized compared to the elder scrolls and fallout.

  @LevelsUnlucky @ZorroRideThrice Real fans care about consistency and quality in comic, without quality they are not entertaining to read, and without consistency, you don't know what you read this week actually is going to be a thing next week. The major comic companies have lacked both of these things for more than 10 years, but especially the last 10 years. If Nintendo came out and said Mario's goal in the game, this has never been to save peach, It was to protect the environment of the mushroom Kingdom from the damage. Bowser is inflicting to it, everyone would laugh that off as stupid and fake. An actual example in the elder scrolls there is a set number of daedric princes, and this number was set so hard in the lore that it's tied to the fundamental structure of the universe, in elder scrolls online they decided to add another one, So you either have to accept this one this one daedric Prince added to the lore, not even from the main team and disregard the decades of lore that came before it, or you disregard the existence of that daedric prince. The big comic companies have been breaking their own universe for decades, and then building upon its broken corpse just breaking it more, that anyone who actually cares about comic books, actually cares about having consistency in their world of their characters. Has to ignore 90% of what they've put out over the last again 10ish years.

  Bethesda developers say layoffs became a yearly problem after Microsoft took over ZeniMax. Alex Nguyen, a Bethesda lead character artist, said layoffs were rare before the acquisition. He says employees were usually given time to fix problems, even after difficult launches like Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online. “Since we’ve been under Microsoft… we didn’t have layoffs before, and now we all of a sudden have yearly layoffs,”

  @bethesda Dear ZeniMax Online Studios / The Elder Scrolls® Online Support Team, I am requesting that my account be temporarily disabled to protect against potential theft. However, despite providing all necessary documentation (invoices/purchase receipts, answers to questions, and my personal information) definitively proving my ownership of the account, the lack of concrete action for days has become unacceptable. Your disregard for security protocols, the prolonged delay despite providing all necessary proof of ownership, and the lack of a satisfactory response are causing significant difficulties. As a player and customer, the continued unfair blocking of my account completely contradicts your understanding of customer satisfaction and service quality. My account is now secure and my hosting is fully verified, therefore there is no longer a valid excuse for this delay. My request is clear: I demand the DEHAL of the block on my account and the uninterrupted restoration of access. Otherwise, if my complaint continues, I will be forced to pursue this matter through customer rights courts and higher authorities. I would also like to state that I expect an urgent disruption to my file due to recent support issues and the events that transpired on the same day. I request to participate in the necessary competition.

  @NOTimothyLottes Ratchet and Clank is the only modern Sony game that interests me, none of what they're doing these days is attractive which is mostly GoW and Spiderman and a billion live service flop... My taste is largely fulfilled by XBOX which is RPGs like Starfield, Avowed, OW2, Clockwork Revolution, and hopefully a frickin Elder Scrolls game soon

  @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.
