          He doesnt say that. He says that MAYBE its time for something new, and that change is never easy - its a messy business.

          So suppose empire dissolves, then what? You already got Thalmor fricking shit up. So there is that. What else?

          >empire dissolves
          Either into a federation or confederation. Otherwise its just same old bullshit - endless wars between Morrowind and Skyrim and Argonia over clay, same old shit with High Rock vs Hammerfell, and so long and so forth, unless some OTHER nation from OTHER continent invades or makes a calamity.

        Starslop had a lot of the same frickups their games since fricking Skyrim have had, what makes you think they're going to improve anything instead of continuing to sit on their laurels, do jack shit, and have people buy it up like crazy?
        If we're lucky (and that's a big fricking if) ES6 will be a huge flop so they stop making garbage and actually get their shit together or they shut down and their IP's have the chance of going to a studio that'll actually do something with them instead of make two mediocre games and one dumpster fire in a decade.

      If they keep up that trend ES6 will have no RPG elements at all, Starfield was just BARELY an RPG.

                There are many different variants of hollow earth. For instance numerous native tribes in both North and South America claim their people came from an underground world to live on the surface. Arguably pretty much every Indo-European religion/culture also historically believed in a literal underworld under the earth, which would necessitate a hollow earth.

    After Oblivion and Skyrim, I thought that Bethesda is taking some wrong steps, but still ultimately creates unique and interesting games. So, I wished that they could learn from their mistakes, but I wasn’t too worried even though I still didn’t have too much hope for Morrowind tier masterpieces.

    After Fallout 4, I thought that they hit the nadir and hoped that they would take the right lessons from it. Things looked bad, but if they treated it like a failed experiment, they still could go back.

    With Starfield, I finally accepted that there is no hope. They clearly don’t even know why people liked their games in the first place, and when studio hits that point, it is usually done for. For example, look at Volition. Bethesda is going the same way.

          Didn't happen in the post New Vegas world, nor the post Witcher 3 world. Bethesda don't move with the industry aside from regarding muh grafficks. If you listen to any interview with any of their important people, it's painfully obvious not a single one has played any of their games' competitors from the last decade plus. Bethesda's leadership is stuck in 2004 which is why Todd STILL talks about mundane shit as if it's the deepest thing ever.

    It might be ok?
    Starfield should be a massive wake-up call for them, and it's much easier to build ontop of 20 years of worldbuilding than creating brand new universe.
    Procedural generation actually can help it, as long as the world is actually full open-world and seamless - think something like a scaled down daggerfall. They can keep the major settlements handcrafted, but fill in the spaces in-between with procedural content. As long as they don't just place premade structures randomly like with starfield, but actually use a wave-function-collapse or model-synthesis to create procedural structures.
    Microsoft should really try and get the teams working together from across all of the first-party studios as well.

    The thing with Starfield is that it took the one thing Bethesda games are great at, and just completely removed it.
    The seamless open-world is the only thing BethRPGs have going for them, but Starfield just decided to split everything up into small self contained locations (not even mentioning the proc planets).
    TESVI won't have that issue though, so it's guaranteed to be better for that reason alone. And then fantasy is a generally much more interesting setting than grounded sci-fi (for most people, even though I liked starfields setting).

      As for 76, its so much better than 4 its not even possible to compare the two. Even the fact thats its a fricking always-online, still manages to put it far and above 4.
      Take it from someone who recently played vanilla 4, vanilla skyrim, vanilla oblivion (even lvl 1 run sucks ass), and vanilla fallout 3.
      Oh, and for the record, vanilla Morrowind is great, but has a lot of issues too - namely leveled lists and leveled monster spawn tables.

    Now that they are not split between starfield and the rest of their projects, that starfield is no longer something they need to care about making "good" first impression since it was a new ip, that they have seen the pitfalls starfield fell into, and that starfield flopped so hard they are on a thin thread of buyers' trust - i feel they might actually put some actual effort into it in order to save face and actually make it at least fun, or maybe even great.

        The engine was the least of starfield problems though? From what i've seen most starfield issues come from poor design, bland setting and lack of any proper direction, not engine going "Frick that" and hardlocking your entire game like in FO3/NV/Skyrim days
        Like, CE1 was already pretty stable during FO4, especially compared to Skyrim. I don't really see any real problems with the engine When it's used properly, not for 76, even though the fact that it still somehow works too is quite telling save for "its old thats why it needs to change".
        There are older engines still being used on the market and no one gives a shit about them being that old.

          The biggest problem is that Bethesda doesn’t seem to understand why people like their games. People like big, seamless, and coherent open worlds with tons of stuff to discover, and that Bethesda has always delivered, even with fricking Fallout 4 and 76.

          But frick that, Bethesda then decides to make a fast-travel patchwork world with hundreds of otherwise empty procgen planets that have nothing to discover except copypasted prefabs chosen from a pool that has less unique dungeons and locations than their previous games had. And worst of all, the studio itself seems to believe that they created some kind of explorer’s dream, when it is the WORST game they have created in regards of exploration yet.

          No matter what engine they use, as long as they don’t understand why people liked their Elder Scrolls and Fallout releases, they are doomed to fail.

            The sad part is that they keep saying that they understand and try to reassure us of that, but in practice they don’t. They know to parrot exploration in promo interviews, but they clearly don’t know what exploration actually means.

    I think it will sell very well because everyone will meme 'Skyrim 2' and that alone will give it enough notoriety for secondaries to buy millions of copies.
    Aside from that though it'll probably have about as much cultural impact and lasting legacy as BG3.

    • 3 months ago

      Kinda? It's hard to describe. Exploring is fun, and the game is inoffensive enough that once you get into it, it's ok.

      But when I start to think about how the combat is literally braindead, magic is neutered, everything RPG has been stripped away or dumbed down to the point it might as well not even exist, every dungeon is a crypt with draugr in it and almost certainly a linear path with a shortcut to the surface at the end. I get disappointed. But always the game has that feel that it could be something more. It could be greater than it is. They were right on the cusp of perfection, if they just pushed a little farther.

      With Fallout 4 I didn't feel that. At all. The flaws were too great. The writing was even worse. Everything in the game was overwhelmingly bad. It was the first Bethesda game I played through just once. With Starfield I couldn't even force myself to be mad. Everything was so bland, boring, and poorly done. I no longer have hope. It is the first bethesda game I didn't finish. It's probably the last one I'll play.

      People say that based on the teaser trailer released, but that was something like 6 years ago and seemed to be prompted by panic that the public thought Bethesda had no games in the pipeline.
      They've only actually started production of TES6 after Starfield, so it's possible that everything in the teaser was thrown out and they started again.

      Hammerfell would be obvious as a sequel to Skyrim's backstory of Empire/Humans vs Thalmor, but Skyrim will be about 17 years old when TES6 releases so maybe they're just going to reboot the setting like they did between Oblivion and Skyrim. In that case they could do any province next.

    Microsoft put their own people on the board of zenimax after starflop. This is so over, it couldn't possibly more over. Look at the trajectory of this series. It's a steep decline from Morrowind. There's no talent left that can make something interesting. It's all coming from the perpetually uncreative Todd and his childhood friends. They've made bad decisions ever since Todd wormed his way into his current position which was after morrowind. It's fricking done. Not even remotely interested in this.

    Starfield's main issue was it just being Fallout 4 but everything was spread the frick out with huge dead zones for no reason.
    Fallout 4 had the opposite problem of vomiting content at you like an Ubisoft designer on cocaine. There was no room to breath and the only open spaces operated under the assumption you were going to do the dumb settlement building shit.

    A lot of Bethesda's recent failures are innate to the specific product.
    Skyrim 2 hopefully shouldn't have the issue of a spaceship and all its loading screens, or having to produce plumbing with potable water and electricity for some random ass place.

        Morrowind allows itself to have some ambiguity at least.

            Are you for real?
            Why do you think I hate one of my favorite game series to date?
            You're one weird guy.
            Anyways, my hopes for the next title may be low to nonexistent due to the way modern Bethesda operates, but I still would like it if the new title succeeded.
            I am not cheering for Bethesdas' failure, I mere;y have little to no hope left at this point.

                Nothing seems to mean anything to you unless it's a negative inference or implication.
                -
                I liked Morrowind when I played it for the first time on my friend's modded xbox in 2010 or so. I liked Oblivion on the Xbox 360 and I liked Skyrim too. I played all unmodded, but i love mods too, of course. In fact I make mods for myself now!
                I want to try Daggerfall sometime too, because it looks fun, but Bethesda doesn't appear to want to make those kind of games anymore.
                It wants to make TES Online, Fallout 76 and *Tarfield.
                What games do you like? Any?

                If you're not a shill, then you're still acting like one. So I guess it really doesn't matter.

                Morrowind is fun as frick unmodded even on xbox because of bugthesda's bugs. I would use the soul trap spell glitch and just summon a permanent army of minons to kill everything in the game.

                I once made a potion which increased my speed by 27,000+ points, and then I took one step (with levitation) from Balmora I *think*, and ended up over that lake in Solstheim with a composite map of all the areas I should have crossed over.
                I looked around, then the game crashed, and I laughed.
                Good times.

                Did you see how hard Todd shilled for Starfield? The game Todd wanted to make his entire life, and that he also wanted to make it last until TESVI (2030). That's the piece of shit we got.

    Every single game by Todd since Skyrim has been "so bad it's good" situation. They are all 0/10 but the sheer confidence with which Todd advertised them makes them kind of impressive. This thing got stale with Starfield so it flopped. TES 6 will be either improve the formula (less than 10% chance) or flop even harder than SF.
