can TES6 be saved?

>>718225497 (OP)
No

>>718225497 (OP)
When was the last time Bethesda made a good open-world game? Skyrim was released 2011, since then they've only released duds.

>>718225497 (OP)
TES6 is going to be retardedly supermassive, likely eclipsed only by something like GTA 6. finally getting the sequel to skyrim over a decade later will be a cultural event

I think it can be... They are owned by Microsoft who care about money above all else. And we are ass deep in 'woke' backlash and companies becoming explicitly 'anti-woke' to capitalize on that backlash. To that end, I think Microsoft will force them to leave all of the cringe shit they've been putting in games in recent years.

Not saying the story/writing will be good or anything... Just that it might, at the very least, not be insufferable and written by leftist activists who are compelled by their mental illnesses to insert their deranged modern politics into a medieval fantasy setting.

Then all they have to do is basically just make Skyrim again with a fresh coat of paint. I'd buy that.

The problem with Bethesda is that they're obsessed with doing less work, so they make the player work instead with stuff like building settlements and building bases. That's why F4 and Starfield sucked anus. They thought we were stupid and we'd have fun playing with Legos.

The Bethesda formula gets so boring after 200+ hours spread across multiple games

Was Starchan the least effective and most obvious shill tactic this board has ever seen?

>>718225497 (OP)
Not with Todd and Emil leading the studio.

>>718227123
they will talk about Hàlter and how bad of an Altmer captain he is and YOU will listen
while the reat of the dialogue shall be some of the finest millennial vomit

>>718227187
If you see the dev interviews, most of the Starfield devs were fat women, or indian.

why would anyone care. TES is a dead IP.

>>718227602
>finest millennial vomit
was just a matter of time till you drop with your "millenial writing" brainmold in the elder scrolls threads,look i do not care what some millenial did to you or your family irl but bethesda is a fruity gen x company

2002, 2015

>>718225497 (OP)
TES6 might retain some players, but I doubt it'll be as popular as Skyrim. I guarantee Bethesda will Jew it up with paid mods and DRM that prevents unofficial modding.

Am I supposed to launch a game I beat already every day for some reason?

>>718225497 (OP)
no its a dead engine.

>>718229181
anon, what are you even own about?
look i do not care what some anon did to you in other threads but you should go to a hospital

>>718231424
to a Hospital for what Doctor ? the Fact on the Matter is that there is some Schizo on /v/ trying to blame everything about his Millenial Bogeyman without doing proper Research and like i mentioned before Bethesda from Maryland has no connection with it,wether you are him or not my point stands

do people even like these games anymore? aren't they all the same?

>>718225497 (OP)
>can TES6 be saved?
They would have to make a game as good as Morrowind or better in order to save the studio, which will never happen, so no.

>>718231424
just look into archive if you want to see him having a meltdown
>>718232813
sandbox type rpgs have been their bread and butter but they lost great people who wrote actual interesting things for their worlds their biggest fault at that was not to replace them with equally good contenders and this is where we are now,you be the judge

>>718232979
I don't think anyone cared about these games writing.

>>718232919
>good as Morrowind
But Morrowind was the worst RPG ever made.
loved only by toons and niggers

>>718233064
starting from oblivion onwards yes but it was worse for their fallout fans kek

>>718226983
Skyrim was a fluke. Shit just happened to halfway work and had people overlook the MOUNTAIN of jank but in releases since people weren't as forgiving. Fallout 4 being meh, fallout 76 being a mega disaster, and starfield being boring as fuck in every possible way

>>718225497 (OP)
Todd Howard is literally twerking in the developers faces while shouting "Radiant quests! Radiant quests!"
No.

>>718226983
Never.

>>718226983
Fallout 76. Great game

>>718225497 (OP)
I really hope not.

>>718225497 (OP)
Mods have consistently been the only thing that saved Bethesda games.
Ruin the ability to easily make mods and you kneecap their titles.
Ruin the ability to make mods at all and they're completely dead in the water.

>>718227913
>indian
>fat women

every single time a group of those 2 touch something it becomes vile and wicked

WHEN WILL GAME DEVS LEARN??

>>718232765
>blame everything about his Millenial Bogeyman
but it IS true, millennial writing has been a disaster for the entitlement industry, and you can't say that this statement is far from truth

just don't make it procedural generated
stop adding so many loading screen gates
mod support day 1

>>718233791
This lol
Just look at how normalfags will tell you they love skyrim and have 10 000 hours in the game then you look and they have like 500 mods that turn it into a whole different game

>>718234324
it's estimated only 8% of all Skyrim players have ever used mods.

>>718226983
Skyrim isn't even a good game.
Neither is Oblivion.

>>718234791
Thisis true. Those are fantastic games, not simply good games.

>loses to Kinorim
>loses to Chadout 4

>still beats Troon Vegas

>>718234198
'millennial writing' was started by Gen X.
And it would be a misnomer to call it GenX writing too. It's nepotism writing.
Talentless hacks.
There are plenty of good young writers who only post their works anonymously on schizo writing forums or get commissioned for historically accurate smut.

>>718234886
Why doesn't BGS simply make Fallout 4 and Skyrim expansion packs? That'd certainly be better for them than continuing work on Starfield expansions

>>718225497 (OP)
>let's add melee weapons and some perks
>but not make the weapons customizable like the guns
>also let's make the flashlight like some tiny pen light that can't light up shit even though this is the future

>>718225497 (OP)

Not with Bethesda's current gameplay design and still using the same shitty buggy engine. Skyrim was unplayable at launch and still had game breaking bugs a few years after.

I think Bethesda's done. Its awful but the old game studio have all fallen apart by now. Bethesda, Westwood, Blizzard and so on.

AAA games are just shit now. Indies and smaller studios are the way now.

>>718226983

Even Skyrim was awful at launch especially when compared to Oblivion where your choices had actual impact on the characters and game world. Skyrim implemented Emilio Pugface's "streamlined" game design. Fuck that guy.

Without mods, Skyrim would've been dead so fats.

>>718225497 (OP)
TES6 needs to be good, or Bethesda will be no more. I don't think Microsoft will tolerate another big flop like Starfeild. Though when I think about it, maybe Bethesda going under might be a good thing. Games like New Vegas proves that other developers can utilize Bethesda'a IPs better than Bethesda themselves. Maybe it's time for Todd to throw in the towel.

Maybe
