>>43703472Not really anon. This is Todd Howard's game we're talking about.

>>43704213>MLP:FIM was 67 years ago
>>43704228>Season 1 was 100 years ago
>>43703078Can todd do it again
>>43703078I have literally never played it. Is it even any different from Oblivion?
>>43704613It's far, far worseYou would be shocked how little of a "game" Skyrim is
>>43704597Not a chance in hell.
>>43704613It's baby's first RPG. The main story is shit and the lore is boring as fuck.
>>43704597Have you seen his latest game? No way.
>>43704967It'll be shit but hopefully Shartfield flopping and Oblivion Remastered's success makes them pivot to making an actual RPG again.

>>43704634>>43704967He should make a foe game its so obvious
>>43704597Nah I honestly expect Bethesda to go the way of Bioware. Their last game bombed. They had over 15 years to work on something for their mainline franchise and haven't even started. They ruined Fallout and 99% of their staff or higherups are demented shitskins.
>>43705437It'll be as bland as Skyrim was too. Tiny "cities", hamlets in place of villages, and they'll take shit from ESO like that thing where Redguards can't kill the undead or the Muslim-only architecture. They won't do anything interesting whatsoever.
Still not buying your game Todd.
>>43705473Based on prior trends it'll be more bland than skyrim, there is things that can still be cut at.Skyrim still had somewhat dynamic quest routes, and while all roads essentially lead to the same build you can do more than one kind of build.They can also make most of the town inaccessible while being small. Could also make the map bigger with less content.
>>43705473The thing is Hammerfell is just not interesting. 99% of it is desert. Look at how every settlement is outside the literal Sahara desert the region encompasses.
>>43705518>Hammerfell is just not interestingTrvke. They should've done Valenwood instead like everyone thought they would.
>>43705528They should but then they would fuck that up. Do you want a generic, enchanted forest with none of the crazy wildlife, ugly NPCs, an allusion to the Wild Hunt flesh amalgams that Bosmer can become?
>>43703078So is High Rock now not part of TESVI? If so why?
>>43705547>ugly NPCsSee, Bethesda wouldn't have to uglify the Bosmer men more than they'd have to because that's just how they model their NPCs!
>>43705547>>43705528>>43705518Plus they've also done Hammerfell twice now, Redguard and Daggerfall. I've wanted a game in Elswyr for years.
>>43705565>Redguardtbdesu Redguard took place on Stros M'kai, but it's basically just tiny Hammerfell anyway.
>>43704597>Can todd do it againNo and no.
>>43706748kino
I bet we’ll be on G8 and TESVI still wont release.
>>43704553>The S1 pilot was LONG AGO, IN A DISTANT LAND
>>43703078my wife on the right
>>43704597Unlikely, Emil's still running the show for writing and has no clue what he's doing.They should have sent him back to individual quest line writing and gotten someone else to do overall management for the department.The company as a whole also just outright refuses to admit when they fuck up, so all the mistakes from the last couple games are 100% going to be back with a vengeance.Unfortunate too, from what I heard Todd's actually a decent manager and tries to take good care of his staff.
>>43704213The original Crash Bandicoot was fifteen when Skyrim came out. I hate knowing that there are people who consider retro what I always considered to be modern.
>>43703078It still boggles my mind how most of the franchise came out in a roughly 16 year period, and then there's a 15 year gap between V and us learning the fucking NAME of VI. Literally half of this franchises lifetime has been the gap between the fifth and sixth game. Modern video game production is so slow and bloated, I miss the days when developers knew how to make shit in a timely manner. You'd think as technology got better, the production process would be easier with better tools, but its only made things worse.
>>43703078This was my desktop wallpaper for such a long ass amount of time, maybe not 15 years but it almost feels like it.
>>43707949>Modern video game production is so slow and bloated, I miss the days when developers knew how to make shit in a timely manner.They have a similar problem to Rockstar, where the last game in the series was so legendary that even the bare hint of a sequel more than a decade later still grabs headlines. They would have to meet or surpass the bar set by Skyrim in the public's mind in order to avoid TES6 being a disappointment that kills their reputation, and if that's the case, why not coast for as long as possible on the promise of a perfect TES6 in people's imaginations? I wouldn't be surprised if they only started serious development in the last year or two.
>>43703088Where's the Morrowind pony mods then huh? Get trainwiz on that shit already.
>>43707949remember when Geometry Dash 2.2 took more time to develop than all previous updates combined? Bloated dev cycles are not exclusive to quadruple-A sloppa
>>43707949I can say with certainty:1. The game is gonna be a launch title for the next gen. 2. Its going to cost well over 600 million dollars. 3. Its reception and sales will “save” Bethesda or break them. Remember even Bioware died this very year.
>>43708551>Remember even Bioware died this very year.Their last THREE games were absolute flopsBethesda at least made money with 4, TES:O and >76 (in the long run)
>>43707949>It still boggles my mind how most of the franchise came out in a roughly 16 year period, and then there's a 15 year gap between V and us learning the fucking NAME of VIThey were simply working on other things.>I miss the days when developers knew how to make shit in a timely manner.This was never the case. Games were always developed for an indefinite time until the publisher gave a deadline and then it's crunch time.
>>43708543>remember when Geometry Dashno
>>43709055Todd, do us all a favor and shut the fuck up.
I, for one, just want to play tes 6
>>43709926...why?
