Skyrim lead designer says it will be ‘almost impossible’ for Elder Scrolls 6 to meet fan expectations: ‘Marketing departments just put their heads in their hands and weep’

Modern Bethesda and making good games, what a joke.

redfellow

There is no modern Bethesda. They are still making games based on 15 year old standards, with an engine a lot older and technically more debted than that.

It’s kinda like trying to make Edward Scissorhands a brain surgeon by adding a few more rubberbands between the blades.

If only. Daggerfall was great for its time, Morrowind was and still remains a classic masterpiece.

The enshittification started with Oblivion, and only got worse from there.

I mean, even if TES:6 is good it wont meet expectations because expectations are so wildly high.

@imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee

Really after the mess that was their space game?

Don’t forget fall out 76

@imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee

I already did. And will again. Mostly because it’s not worth remembering. Not because I’ll ever trust Bethesda

My expectations are just be as good as skyrim. I still go and explore skyrim and find new fun things i had never seen before. It’s the best i can ask for.

@TachyonTele@lemm.ee

They’re definitely not going to go back to any of the better earlier games before Skyrim.

Idk i never played the other games. I’ve heard many times that they are better. I play skyrim in VR only. I might look for mods to play the earlier games in VR as well.

@TachyonTele@lemm.ee

I’d love to play VR. Someday

You can probably get a used Quest 2 for a good price. It’s definitely capable enough to get a feel for VR, and whether or not you should invest more in a better setup.

@TachyonTele@lemm.ee

Yeah I know. Unfortunately new toys like new hardware isn’t in my current future. Someday though.

@RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Maybe it’ll be as good. I would strongly recommend waiting for reviews in 2032 when it finally launches.

Skyrim launched 11.11.11

Expect ES6 on ~~2.2.22~~ oh wait, missed that one, 3.3.33
