Bethesda fucked around too long and is no longer capable of making an elder scrolls 6 that is worth the name. And they know it.
Not unless they hire people that care about deep content.
At this point they’re just sending Pagliarulo around to say the dumbest shit just to deflect attention from whatever the fuck it is that they’re actually making, which is an outrageously mid game made with 2010 tech
All this does it make me worried for ES 6. That is not the lesson learned or the takeaway from starfield. If that is their main takeaway, it means they stand a very good chance of repeating the same mistakes.
Other part is their focus being on mods. Yes mods are important but I want the core game to be amazing and then the mod scene adds onto it. But just like with starfield, it makes me think they just view mods as a means to fix their game.
Emil tried to escape by saying “They didn’t want this game, they wanted TES6!” Like bro, Starfield sucked and I don’t even think TES6 is gonna be “great”, it’s gonna be much worse than Starfield was. Since Emil doesn’t have any talent to write a great story. He literally blames gamers for this to escape what he did to the game.
“We heard you fans! So today where starting elder scrolls 76! No npcs, so you and your friends can be the story! Get excited to for our 15 planned dlcs and twelve releases over the next 25 years!”
Fans want an actual good game, and at this point i don’t know if bethesda is capable of delivering one, it’s so sad how low bethesda has fallen since the 360/ps3 era
No I wanted an rpg in space where my choices mattered and affected the world and story around me. What I got was starfield where all my choices lead me down the same path. Space pirate, vanguard, Rangers, ryujin the world could care less about any of them.
Don’t know how people still have good expectations for ES6 after the dumpster fire of Starfield
I can still play Morrowind for a while 😢
Not exactly. Fans want a good Elder Scrolls 6.
I don’t even care about ES6 anymore it’s just going to be 10 years behind the game design curve by every meaningful metric if Starfield is anything to go by.
I’m afraid ES6 is going to be terrible if Emil is still involved.
As long as they keep using their shitty Creation engine, they can mak TES 20 and it still will look like a last gen game
Honestly skryrim released more than 10 years ago, Bethesda shouldve atleast seriously tried releasing Elder Scrolls 6 before 2020 cause if its gonna be around 2030 most people have played skyrim will be almost 20 years older, you’d need to find a whole new demographic to market the game towards.
tldr: elder scrolls 6 will take another 10 years, if not forever.
I don’t want Elder Scrolls 6 anymore
After Fallout 4, and **especially** Starfield and its’ DLC, I am willing to say;
No the fuck we don’t.
Brace yourself for procedurally generated ES6 content.
At this point, I’m good.
That’s the wrong thing to take from why people didn’t like Starfield
I mean….duh.
Whos leading this company? Skyrim came out 13 years ago. It was a massive hit. Elder Scrolls 6 will most likely not come out for another 3-5 years.
What company in their right mind waits 20 fucking years to release a sequel to their largest and most popular franchise?
At this point it’s just idiotic.
Translated: “We think they’ll buy anything as long as we call it Elder Scrolls 6”
“I think we’re now coming to the point where Starfield is transcending its status as game and becoming something of a platform for science fiction and space content. I mean, I expected the mod community to put stuff out. But not at the rate they are. It’s awesome. Inspiring. It’s everything I’d hoped for.”
ESO 6 is screwed if this is what he thinks fans want. We don’t want mods to be the content we want mods to compliment a complete experience which starfield is sorely lacking. I play bethesda RPG’s for the story and fleshed out environments and world.
I don’t play them for the combat or the tedious grindy base building mess cause there’s already a 1000 other games that do it better like no man’s sky. I want to role play, not have to spend hrs navigating tedious menus to build bases or try to jump to other systems.
Like they should’ve just done what outer worlds did and have the game be smaller but packed with way more content.
With whatever is left of BGS I DO NOT want TES6. If the best they can do in fucking 8 years is Starfield I have 0 hope for TES6.
MS needs to fire Todd Howard and pretty much everyone in charge at BGS if they want seriously good Games.
Translation: literally nothing. That was known well before this terrible game was even an idea.
I want a game I no longer have reason to believe that Bethesda is capable of creating.
Well, I did. Now, though, I’m not so sure…
