The Elder Scrolls VI

Nope... This time it's going to be a wait and see... I will not be per-ordering. I am actually worried about it being money grab, micro-transaction on-line screw-up. I don't see Beth wanting to make another Skyrim better, more beautiful, more advanced game mechanics, and more advanced AI. No, I see them going for the money. Yes I know companies are in it for the money, you have to make money, but you should also make the games people want.

 

Just my opinion.

Right there with you.

 

 

I agree.

 

We will have it but I do not believe at all ( I will very happy to be wrong though ) that it will allow free modding as we do have now. It will be a 50/50 situation : we will get what we asked for but Bethesda ultimately will get the other 50% of the pie. How do I see this will be implemented :

 

- They will ask us to pay a fee to be a member of their freaking club

- They will have mods in there that only those members will be able to buy ( and probably on the top of the membership fee, they will ask money for those mods, like Gold / Platinum membership to download all the mods that we want … etc, etc, )

- This game could be an online game so they can squeeze all the money they want from us

 

So basically, I am not holding my breath for this game and honestly, I do not believe for a second that we will be able to have all the mods that we want as we are able now with Skyrim. The gaming industry is not longer as it was before.

 

I am playing now Assassin Creed Odyssey ( more than 300 hours so far ) and this game has proved to me there are not needs of mods for a game to be good. I have not had any crash, the graphics are superb, the story of the game is great, the DLC's added are excellent and the game is huge, with thousands of things to do and you can play it either online or offline. I have bought some stuff from Ubisoft and I do not regret it.

 

Question is : could Bethesda mirror what they are doing ? Yes they could and Ubisoft is on the top now and is coming with new games like : Ghost Breakpoint, Assassin Creed Vikings and I can bet they will be excellent games with a lot of micro-transactions and probably to be played either online or offline and I do not believe they will require any modding. This is the way the industry is now and I do not believe that Bethesda will go in a different direction just to make us happy. Really ?

Personally looking forward to it !

 

I blindly trust Bethesda into making my favourite games, along with Rockstar. Skyrim is my top n°1 followed by Red dead 2.

 

Because I don't really care about promises they make to players, or any of that, I'm not really interested. Even if there's annoying bugs, I try to transcend that by not accusing the developers, thinking "s#*! happens, it's not that bad, I'm not gonna cry at them for making mistakes" I'm not gonna sign a fooking petition to ask artists redoing their work. I'm not needy, but trying my best to be understanding. Whether it makes me mad or not.

 

What I like the most about video games is them being immersive and/or fun even if that's not top-notch best textures ever made you know ^^

Like Saints Row franchise is one of my fav's as much as Life is strange, if that's in any way relevant :)

 

Every Bethesda games I've played, I liked. From Oblivion to Fallout 76, I loved them all for different reasons.

I'm really hyped by their next rpg-space game, and I trust them into making a great game.

 

And TES 6, well, I'd give all my "muneh" for playing this game, but hoping it doesn't come to that ! x)

Just waiting for Pete Hines to make the following announcement...

 

"Hey folks! I'm proud to show you the latest innovation for The Elder Scrolls Six... -LOOT BARRELS!"

I say bring on oodles of loot boxes for the kids and compulsive adults, if Bethesda can maintain a single player game with a Creation Kit for modders. I know that will be an unrealistic wish if any more lucrative revenue models present themselves in the next six years, Zenimax might hit upon implantable vacation memories of Tamriel if EA makes a killing on something similar involving Mars four years from now.

These "mistakes" you mention have consistently been in every single Bethesda games, and they're known as bugs, which Bethesda SOMETIMES fixes, and sometimes, just "Moves on" to something else.

Like the infamous 1.9 lip sync bug they introduced to Skyrim in their last ever patch for the game.

Even when told about it, Bethesda wasn't going to budge and fix it, and they didn't.

 

Do I need to mention the long lists of reported bugs going back to Morrowind?

 

Those lists still exist on the old forums, and at best, maybe 25% of those bug lists were ever fixed by Bethesda, while most have been addressed by the NECESSARY "Unofficial Patches" that Bethesda has come to rely on.

 

They also could've Fixed those "Mistakes" with the Release of SKyrim Special Edition, but all they did was slap the same game on a 64 bit engine, upgrade the graphics a bit, and sold it to us with the SAME BUGS.

 

If Bethesda kills modding, then they also kill any chance of people having a virtually 'bug-free' game, because it's the modders who have been picking up Bethesda's slack, and piss-poor habit of releasing games while unfinished.

Skyrim's half-baked Civil War comes to mind (and there are several mods that actually make the Civil War interesting.)
