It just works! So why change it?

 

[Morgoth]

Yeah, pig with lipstick and all that...

They switched to Unity.

I am sure it will be playable offline. Bethesda is at least trying to keep that kind of image.

Just like newest doom on switch that requires connection to bethesda network ?

It's more of a Zenimax game. And they eventually removed it.

Do some people in this thread actually expect an incline? From Bethesda? Every game they make is worse than the one before. TESVI will be worse than Fallout 4.

I expect further decline, but it's always exciting to see how they go about it. Skyrim and Fallout 4 were pretty fucking shallow and brainless; what could Bethesda plausibly do to make it even worse? Remove character creation entirely?

We are waiting because thanks to Bethesda some wonderfull content is produced !

Remove character creation entirely?

They aren't doing that yet. That doesn't impact gameplay too much. First we gotta get rid of skills and leveling up. Makes players feel too restricted and like they can't do whatever they want when they want to.

They want a great open world RPG right? What's better than letting you do anything instantly? You see that daedric heart and ebony ore? You can smelt that. You see that vault behind the emperor? You can sneak up to it and lockpick it at any time.

TRUE RPG FREEDOM! Skyrim was too traditional to the core of what makes a RPG for the average player. We need accessibility!

 

[RNGsus]

Sneak up? Fuck no, glitch out of the game world and walk in. Its a feature.

They should pull a rabbit from the Notch hat and just give players a whole bunch of assets to make their own game. Elven textures, Redguard meshes, and your very own plug-and-play dungeon kit, all for the low season pass price of $99,999.999. Besides, skipping all that writing and coding will give Bethesda time to start work on Elder Scrolls VII, which will be due for a 2056 release date if they get busy now.

 

[Squid]

What a good idea. You should send this to them. At least then we might be able to have a somewhat fun game.

Like in Daggerfall you mean?

 

[RNGsus]

Its a spell in Arena.

 

[G.O.D]

And glitch = spell?

I actually played Fallout 76 for the first time for two hours today. It was pretty fun. I don't think I'll ever play it again.

The future of the Elder Scrolls games is Dark Messiah.

Shit, if Elder Scrolls ripped off Dark Messiah that'd be incline, not decline.

I honestly don't expect them to change the system they have used from Oblivion and Skyrim - you do something - you get better at it, it's the most common sense levelling mechanic ever made that even a child can grasp, but of course it doesn't always work in practice, especially combined with scaled enemies. I do expect them to introduce that bullshit perk system from Fallout 4 though.

Its Bethesda's watermark, they just had shame enough to make it a spell in Arena.

Something will be changed that's for sure, as with every next Elder Scrolls they are dumbing down the mechanics, however this time the waiting gap is huge, it will be 10 years after Skyrim at TES VI release so MAYBE they will change their stance and there will be rpg mechanics? It's possible but highly doubtfull (seeing as f76 is pretty much a flop Todd might want to prove that he is still the 'open world rpg king')

I bet they'll keep that ridiculous dialogue system from F4
