  @SynthPotato the issues with Starfield and Creation Engine was that *everything* was treated the same way interior spaces are treated in Fallout and Elder Scrolls. I have way less of an issue with loading screens when theres a full open map to walk around in between.

  @lastchalice @XBOXTIMDOG And that's exactly why Xbox should make Elder Scrolls and other non-live service games full exclusives. If they go all in like the 360 era, Sony is cooked with their 1sr party network in shambles, most 3rd parties going full multiplatform and player trust dissolved.

  @Kofigiration @Character1n2ern Moral ******* won't work with me. If it's weird then don't do it. Calling someone a criminal over lines/polygons is my issue. It is the same as blowing someone's brains out in a FPS, stabbing someone to death in Elder scrolls. Also you know anime has always been weird right?

  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.

  Yesterday, Bethesda broke modded versions The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (2016) by releasing a new update that enhances mod support for consoles on Steam. The purpose of this is no doubt to increase that sweet, sweet paid mod revenue where they get to keep around 70% of every sale while they continue work on their next game, presumably thanks to the leak of the name The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel creating additional buzz and bringing new and old players back to Skyrim. Anyone who is using SKSE (Skyrim Script Extender) supported mods who has gone through this before already understands what a pain it is to deal with these updates. First, SKSE must be updated to support the new Skyrim binary. Next, all mods that depend on SKSE to work must also update their mods for the new version of SKSE. This process tends to take months. In the meantime, heavily modded games cannot be started and attempting to launch them generates an error similar to this one I got yesterday evening. So the next best workaround is to use Steam to downgrade Skyrim to the working version. I have seen a third party app out there by the name of Reliquary that purports to do this for your automatically, however it requires you to enter your Steam credentials which is a great way to get your account hacked. It is much safer to do this manually. These are the steps I followed to do so: 1) Right-click on Skyrim SE in the Steam Library pane, select Properties. Under Updates, change Automatic Updates to "Wait until I launch the game". 2) Exit Steam so that the application is completely closed, no longer in the taskbar. 3) Open a command prompt or terminal and launch Steam with the -console tag. If on Windows it may first be necessary to navigate to the Program Files folder with the Steam executable. Alternately you can modify the shortcut and add the -console tag there before launching the game. 4) The newly launched Steam window should now have a new column labeled Console. It is a blank window with a small form textbox to allow entering commands. 5) Type the following commands, one at a time: download_depot 489830 489831 8442952117333549665 download_depot 489830 489832 8042843504692938467 download_depot 489830 489833 1914580699073641964 6) Wait for each command to complete the download, which can take several minutes. Once finished, the console window should tell you where the files where downloaded, such as in my case (linux desktop): ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/content/app_489830/ 7) Go to each folder listed in the console and copy the contents to your Steam Skyrim installation. If you're not sure where Skyrim is installed, you can use Steam to open it. First switch to Library, then right-click on the game in the left column and select Manage, then select Browse Local Files. 8) To prevent Steam from automatically upgrading the game again, make the file "appmanifest_489830.acf" read-only. This file can be found in the "Steam/steamapps" folder. 9) To be extra-safe, only launch Skyrim SE via your mod manager or by using the skse_launcher.exe included with SKSE.

  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 **********.

  @Nick101Gaming Because Xbox can not sustain a game that size in scope why can’t you understand that Xbox has less then 30 million gamers all on gamepass a rental service that does not support buying and supporting the studios that make them the elder scrolls will come to ps5 no Xbox needed!!

  @asha_shar Imagine if Elder Scrolls, Diablo, Fallout, Crash bandicoot, Spyro and so much more were exclusive to Xbox. Helix would sell like hotcakes! 🥞

  @Pirat_Nation I've been playing Skyrim with mods for years and it's amazing. Bethesda should have hired modders for The Elder Scrolls VI, probably going to be a piece of crap like Starfield that modders will have to fix.

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I really hope you take a peek at my activity feed and take care of the bad actors. Enough is enough people are literally broken putting their heart and soul into something that's rigged by bad actors.

  > 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. >

  Vortex failed to install my modlist correctly AGAIN, so now I'm installing an OpenMW modlist just in case I need and Elder Scrolls fix, while I consider what game to play (it might or might not be OpenMW)

  @DrunkRepub My problem, too. And I played the original Elder Scrolls: Arena and several of its sequels for way too long (mainly because you couldn't wander around killing things in such a wide world in most games). Somehow, by Skyrim it got old.
