I have absolutely zero confidence in TES 6.

Honestly why gets me about fallout 4 was their lack of quality level design in favor of number outs settlements for you to just go and build it up yourself. There wasnât even a good amount of stuff youâd want to build. I wonder if this feature will make it to the next ES game. I always wanted a workshop feature... I just thought it would be contained to editing the playerâs home.

They've done the work on it, I think we can expect it to show up in some form or other in subsequent games. Wonder if we will be able to build our own castles in the next TES game. :) That would be REALLY cool.

 

I think beth expected settlement building to be more than half the game for most players.........

I imagine they'll help themselves to Kinggath's "Sim Settlements" mod and slap it into TES6, like they did with a ton of other mods for Fallout 4.

The majority of Fallout 4 is player Mods

That's really nothing new. Beth was 'adopting' ideas from modders, and incorporating them into their games starting with Oblivion. (they couldn't with morrowind, as the previous games weren't technically modable.) They went so far as to HIRE one modder. (arelorn, though I think I slaughtered the spelling there.) He was the one that wrote 'morrowind enhanced, a more advanced scripting engine.

It'd be a good thing for me since I love Sim Settlements and I generally prefer TES setting over Fallout plus it's likely if they did this it should open up further possibilities for Kinggath / hopefully save him a bit of work since a lot of the code may work without needing changes(especially if the engine is also 99.99% the same as right now). I prefer Fallout 4 mainly because of Sim Settlements and other mods adding to settlement building.

 

I do hope for this since it would mean that TES VI would definitely amount to something for me. Sim Settlements would make the game fun, even if the base game is just inferior Assassin's Creed in an inferior world to Skyrim and virtually no technical improvements(FO4 engine spliced with Skyrim, scaled up a bit for PS5/Xbox Whatever/2025-era PCs).

 

I'm concerned if the game is too lazy / too mediocre that big name modders might not be interested in modding TES VI at all, when I think about TES VI I think about what modders will create.

Almost definitely mediocre, rather than lazy. I think calling Bethesda lazy is disingenious. They put a hell of a lot of work into the games. They just aren't that good at their jobs.

Kind of a gray area. :) They DO make FUN games, if you can get past the bugs. Their writing leaves a bit to be desired, and they feel free to violate their own lore whenever it suits them...... (or, is convenient.....) I still think Morrowind had the best story. :D

As they say, dreams don't come true. Let us hope that It'll satisfy some of our expectations.

I only hope for continued moddability and that the engine won't be a 1:1 duplicate of Fallout 4 (Which has been used for a lot of fun mods but there are a lot of technical limitations & issues). I hope for mods like Sim Settlements to be possible on a TES VI/FO5 with fewer of the worst Gamebryo issues and tech getting an overall update. The engine is otherwise going to look very dated in what probably will be 2024 or 2025 and it may not attract as many modders if there will not be any new possibilities compared to now.

 

Realistic expectations: There will be some form of multiplayer or at least co op and the game will be basically Skyrim Lite x Fallout 76. It will probably not have multiplayer elements to quite the same extent as 76 but most likely a cross between Souls and Borderlands. BL style co op with other players invading, towns might be populated with players rather than NPCs, or there may be fewer NPCs who are all for specific purpose like quest giver/merchant. 10 or fewer skills linked to 3 trees(combat/magic/stealth). MMORPG styled story/world design more akin to 76/ESO than previous TES games. Games as a Service, someone had mentioned that TES will have 30th anniversary on 2024 so TESVI may release then. I believe it if they go Games as a Service, it could be released incomplete and have expansions later. Maybe we get High Rock and later Hammerfell/other provinces are added over the next couple years. The timeline also fits for Starfield to get a 2021 release then about 2 years of support if that may be Games as a Service.

Bethesda would be cool if they just made an awesome creation engine and see what modders do with it, maybe a sub service that every month adds new resources and licensed stuff?
