    I can’t believe there are still people out there who are interested in Microslop, let alone Bethesda games.

      People who play TES games without even knowing who Kirkbride is don’t do so because they like the setting, they do so because the game was advertised to them and it’s trending on TikTok. Bethesda has been dickriding his lore for 20 years, and every installment just makes it worse instead of better because they can’t actually write metaphysics and philosophy that generate interesting worlds.

      They didn’t announce a date. This was literally just a plea "Don’t forget about us (hype our stocks mid recession pls)

      Fallout 4 is definitely more good than bad.

      I’ve been having fun with Oblivion remaster, not having played the original.

      I’ve had lots of fun with Skyrim

      I’m not going to write off ES6 yet.

        Fallout 4 as a modding platform for a apocalyptic sandbox? Sure.

        As an actual story and RPG to experience like the rest of the series before it (barring Fo3)? Fuck no.

        You play any of those on release? My first Bethesda game was Morrowind on the original Xbox. BGS games always get better with age. They tend to be very doodie on release. I expect more doodie releases from them. Oblivion remaster wasn’t made by BGS which is probably why it was not doodie on release.

          Fo4 is not too bad on release, i don’t really have any crash, not much bug either(i5 4440, 1060 3gb, 8gb ram), but i do remember monsignor plaza is notorious for crashing.

            but it was boring. Choices that matter? We don’t need those! Plot line simple and direct no thinking involved.

              “Choice that matter” haven’t been BGS strength since Oblivion, and that’s not really why I play their games anyway.

    People who complain about it taking too long. Do you really think there’s been a full team working on this game since the announcement, or are you just trying to be funny?

    If it’s going to be made in their Creation Engine then i’ll look forward to it because mods will give it years of possibilities and longevity BUT if it’s going to be made in the Unreal Engine then i won’t even bother checking it.

    Oblivion remake was pretty but kinda disappointing and barely any mods to Frankenstein something different, also it ran like ass.

      They’ve been trying to move to make their own build in mod manager and I think they want to start pay walling it or treating it like a appstore where they get a 30% cut.

      Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if you could use script extenders but all the worth while mods that are just redskins and cheats need actual scripts not just .BSA files.

      So I’ve given up on Bethesda. I’m hoping there is a future project like openmw but for skyrim special edition and people can just use that as a base game engine to do whatever with.

      if you buy more CE junk, they’re just gonna keep cranking out more CE junk. longevity means nothing when the base is garbage that keeps having more features stripped out with every new title.

        And UE is better in what way exactly? It may offer better graphics but if it runs like ass on even the best rig what’s the point?

        that keeps having more features stripped out with every new title.

        You officially have no fucking idea what you’re talking about.

          No, that is sadly an accurate description of Elder Scrolls games. The game mechanics have been thinned out so much. Every game since Arena has removed game mechanics, though Daggerfall and Morrowind at least added some to make up for it.

        Just wait on the Beyond Skyrim projects to see the rest of Tamriel (or Tamriel Rebuilt and sibling projects, for Morrowind). They will, without a shadow of a doubt, be better than anything Bethesda puts out.

      Bethesda of today would struggle with the goddamn weirdness that is Black Marsh in the lore. I’d rather have it remain this weird, alien place that we only know from stories than have Bethesda do a George Lucas and ruin the mystique of the lore by showing us some cookie cutter version of it.

        I think that’s part of what I mean, too. Morrowind was so alien, it did not feel like earth, and I’ve been longing for that again. They took their niche setting and made it for the masses. Everything I’ve seen them do feels like they get more watered down, more earth like

        Deserts are cool but I can’t shake the feeling they’re going to just make magical Egypt to play it safe. If they do ever make black marsh, were not really going to get black marsh, I’m never going to see their alien planet again

        If by “of today” you mean “since 2006”, then I agree.

        Don’t forget what Cyrodiil was meant to be like, prior to Oblivion.
