8 YEARS AFTER BEING ANNOUNCED THEY FINALLY CHOSE A NAME!!!
They already chose it months ago
>>750888063shit name desu
>still hyped for this after shartfieldlmoa
>>750888096It was encoded into the character creator of Starfield at launch, so many years ago in fact.
>>750888063What took Bethesda so long to make this game?
this is big
>>750888063What killed the hype?
>>750888063So which world ending threats we'll be facing this time
>>750888268Filthy knife ears doing what filthy knife ears do best
It starts with an S like Skyrim and Starfield so you know it's gonna be the greatest yet.
>>750888063In another 8 years we might get to know the gender!
>>750888414Scat
>>750888063wasn't the title Sentinel leaked years ago? late 2024?
>>750888063Nice so the name is what everyone thought it would be
>>750888138literally 80% of the ground work is already done by the previous games, just gotta make the fighting less floaty and add more choices in missions THAT'S IT, they can't fuck this up
I can’t even remember where sentinel isFuck niggers
Isn't Sentinel just a city?
>>750888063who do you think won the civil war ?
Guarantee that sword singing is the main character ability it’s too obvious. Also the hos writing this one?
>>750888472I remember a thread back in 2021 where it was revealed where an anon had a brother that worked at Bethesda game and talked about how Todd Howard was an angry manlet kvetching about Elden Ring lmao
>>750888447Scoon
>>750888265The fact that it's now been 15 years since the release of Skyrim when the entire rest of the franchise from the first Elder Scrolls game to Skyrim was only 17 years
>>750888583>fighting less floatyThey better keep that cool as fuck dual handed shit skyrim had. I like that combat.Just let us choose what hands we use shields, bows and magic and let us use multiple dual spells rather than the shitty one sided master spells in skyrim.
HE'S A REDGUARD
>>750888265It's been like 7 years since they announced it and like 15 since Skyrim came out. Add in the fact the last few games have been shit and people have zero hype and expect typical Bethesda shit quality.
>>750888063I hope the map it not full of dessert
>>750888265Starfield.
>>750888621City and region.It might be like Daggerfall, also "just a city" but the game itself was massive. And they have the Saarfield tech to generate massive amounts of featureless (i.e. desert) land.
>>750888063I dont care. Its going to be optimized for gpus that dont even exist by that point & run like dog shit on everything released in the last 8 years
God what happened?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv16Y0OzhUY&pp=ygUNc2t5cmltIHJldmVhbA%3D%3D
>>750888265StarfieldFallout 76Fallout 4 being Skyrim: Post-Apocalypse Boston
>>750888728i wonder if they're gonna let you be racist in this one
>>750888583You dare to doubt Todd and Emil's power?! There are still plenty of mechanics Todd can have stripped out. And Emil can give his writers more advice beyond just, "Write whatever you want, we'll figure out a place to shove it in."
>>750888063can this shit company just JSID already
Will this scene be in the game?https://arch-img.b4k.dev/v/1737306258573.webm
>>750888265Time
>>750888876Yeah just not to the redguardsRacism is a massive point in TES, and religious persecution.
Seriously what were they even working on the last few years if the game is still years away? No wonder Asha raped them into submission
>>750888923oh lawd he comin
>>750888809Don't worry, it will be optimized for streaming it from the closest datacenter. Remember to donate all the RAM in your possession, citizen.
>>750888983slacking off and making updates for starfield and F76
>>750888923giwtwm
>>750888876They kept that lady who hates dark elves in the murder mystery quest in the oblivion remake.
>>750888063That name was leaked years ago, retarded zoomer newfag
>>750888983the people who got cut all started working during starfield and f76 so nothing of value was lost
>>750888809>>750888994It will literally have to run on an xbox series S, the shittier one so dont expect massive jumps in tech.
>>750888652Zero question. After seeing Shartfield it became obvious Sword Singing Dragon Shouts were inevitable. Legit, the only value the game has will have depends on how passible base Khajiit and Argonian models are for sex mods.
>>750888265Bethesda hasn't made a good game in such a long time that people can vote who were born after their previous good game.
>>750888063Beth is proving Asha wrong. Todd and Emil still have a hand to play, and it's going to be epic.
>>750889082>it will have to run on console that wont matter at all when it comes outOkay retard
>>750888983They still have a big starfied DLC supposed to be coming next year.They announced it.
>>750888265... Everything they've done so far?
>>750888923Is this what the stay behind legions are doing every day?
>>750889082Wrong The new Xbox is likely to release, maybe ps6 as well
It will have 3 skill trees, Mage, Warrior and Thief. No stats, no skills, only 3 skill trees with perks.
>>750888265It's been 80 years and Starfield was the follow-up killing blow that started with Fallout 4. There's very little reason to think this geriatric ass studio is going to be able to pull off a resurgence here unfortunately.
>>750889142>wont matter at all when it comes outYou think they are just gonna release it in like 10 years or some shit.you are a retard.The next console gen will not even be happening for a few years because of the AI bubble and they wont be making the game for the new xbox and ignore the old when most wont even have the old.
>>750888175Current AAA development is an absolute disaster. These games taking 7+ years is the new normal until the retards in charge get it through their fat noses that chasing these massive budget huge games that can take zero risks is a failing proposition
>>750888923Astrobot is a Playstation exclusive tho
>>750889152All 5 starfield players will be happy I’m sure
>>750889152>They still have a big starfied DLC supposed to be coming next year
Oh, boy. Hammerfell. The province with some of the coolest lore like...Like...
>>750889320I might play it after the big DLC, years later, on sale.
>>750889152Why?
>>750888063at least it will make sense to have ur waifus wear bikinis coz its a hot climate
>>750889349sword signing and their pantheon is cooler than anything in skyrim you poser
I just don't care anymore.
>>750888265radio silence for nearly a decade will do that
>>750888265It was announced 8 fucking years ago for some reason.Also Starfield was atrocious killing all hope for neo-Bethesda.
>>750888923>https://arch-img.b4k.dev/v/1737306258573.webmFOR TALOS!!!! FOR HAMMERFELL!!!!!
can we talk about how shit of a name it isseriously,>morrowind>oblivion>skyrimall of these sound cool, and then you have fucking SENTINEL
>>750889249Also, unlike Rockstar, you can't even cope with pretending that the long time between games is because "they're cooking". It's Bethesda. They don't "cook", at best their games are like reheated chicken breast in the microwave.
Have they rehired the oblivion music guy?No?Then no buy
>>750889391idk, they announced it.Starborn, big DLCLike skyrim I guess where you had 2 smaller DLCs then a big expansion. Same with FO4 too.Didnt FO3 and NV do the same?
>>750888652>it’s too obviousIt was in Skyrims DLC dude
>>750888063>while it’ll be some time before we’re ready to share morewhile it’ll be some time before we’re ready to share more>while it’ll be some time before we’re ready to share morewhile it’ll be some time before we’re ready to share more>while it’ll be some time before we’re ready to share morethis game is development hell just like Saarfield. It's fucking over, I'm moving on
>>750889486this with a splash of i think it's a terrible name
>>750888265Starfield
>>750889454>sword signing
>>750889527Veilguard, Highguard and Sentinel. The Unholy Trinity of studio closures.
Bethesda really needs to knock it out of the park since that stupid space game.
>>750889527I think it is because the rumors that said it is in high rock and hammerfell are true Its the illiac bay as well as hammerfell.
>>750889523FOR STARFIELD!!
>>750889535Fallout 3 had 4 DLCs and New Vegas had 4 DLCs and a few smaller ones that added some new unique weapons to the base game.
>>750889391Because people still play it dude, the same reason ESO and 76 are constantly receiving updates. They make money.
>>750889531Jeremy Soules has not worked on any project since Skyrim. He's fully cut off after the rape incident.
If someone was 20 years old when Skyrim came out they will be 40 years old when this comes out..... Most of those people dont give a fuck about games anymore,
>>750889613>after
>>750888265people just died, not many left to care about it
>>750888583>cant fuck it up>starfieldWe regret to inform you that you may be retarded.
>>750889349Sload airships dock in sentinel to grab some slaves which is pretty neat.That might be from ESO tho
>>750888063FOR HAMMERFELL
>>750888063you just know the jeeta forced them to name it publicly or get shut down
>>750889606Its been a long time since I played either and I cant even remember the DLCs, cant remember if I played FO3 but I know I played NV DLC.NV had one where you went to arizona which was a new map, and then dead money which was a tiny area. Cant remember the others well.my point is they do small DLCs then a big expansion and I guess this starborn is the starfield version of that.Funny that I rarely play bethesda games DLCs just because they are often so deep into the game restarting it feels like a burden.I need to make sure I make meta saves in the future, right before I start the DLCs so i can replay them.Still not played FO4 DLC.
It's gonna suck ass and anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.Fallout 4 was mid and Starfield was warmed over shit. Bethesda used to make ambitious games that were janky as fuck but in a charming way. If the games aren't ambitious, the jank is just the sign of poor development practice. Starfield was safe in every regard and total shit because of it. Why do I want to play a janky piece of hot shit if it's not even trying to do anything interesting?Elder Scrolls 6 is going to be a shareholder optimized piece of shit that's designed to incorporate as large an audience as possible. It will be a shitty safe open world fantasy RPG, and it's gonna be even worse because retarded fucking shareholders think players will want to do a Waakanda Forever even though not even black people want that shit
>>750889349Yokudans are cool as fuck
>>750888265>15 years since skyrim>like 8 years since elder scrolls 6 teaser>Starshit - complete dogshit slop>Fallout 76 - complete dogshit slopThe better question would be to ask what actually makes people hyped at all
>>750889737>gets overencumbered with a thin panel vision portal
>>750889531They'll probably trot out Inon Zur to give us the most soule-less shit possible. A fitting end for this whole thing.
>>750888675
>>750889613>accused of rape>career ruined>never even charged with anything
>loading screens between huts and inner cities>janky swordplay >Emil Pagliarulo type of storyline where your choices don't matter >safe disney storyline>casualized skill tree system>2006 rehashed dungeons in a 2030 game>shitty launch fallout 4 and starfield proved how dumbed down Bethesda's quality got. Even the Skyrim fanboys can't ignore the Starfield disaster, they learned nothing from fallout 4.
>>750888675>>750889831this board is retarded, my dad works at nin10do
>>750888175Todd being a greedy nigger and putting his and his minion's interests first
>>750888265Starfield is the main reason as others have correctly stated.Starfield is the single closest thing to an Elder Scrolls title they have done in the past 15 years, and Starfield is a fucking abomination. No redeeming qualities whatsoever, no fun in sight, even modders refused to touch it because it was so empty and ugly and boring that saving it would mean doing more work than the actual devs did.This, more than anything, shows that they don't fucking have it anymore. They just don't have it.
>>750889874cry more toddy
>>750889792I don't know why you keep making (incorrect) assumptions when you already admitted you don't really remember.
>>750888063the greatest game of all time, along side Skyrim and Fallout 4
>>750889869I think it was Emil who said TES6 will have Spellcrafting again.
>>750888063I'll stick with Starfield. TES hasn't been good since Daggerfall and Sentinel won't change that.
>>750888265The kids that played Skyrim are now parents, trannies or died after the vaccine so they have moved on. Bethesda has to literally regain his fans.
>>750889869>Emil Pagliarulo type of storylineWe'll be searching for out mother Debra Wilson this time?
>>750889795Bethesda games have literally got worse since morrowind but in most cases better mechanically. like skyrims combat is better than morrowind and oblivion and FO4 combat better than FO3.
>>750888063Name should have been Dominion desu
Todd the vague poster
>>750888983>working on they weren't, bethesda devs had those jew daycare jobs women were making tiktoks about where they spend all day just answering emails and drinking lattes
>>750888583>they can't fuck this up
>>750888265The millennials that enjoyed the scrollslop are too old to play games, they barely see on the screen.
so its going to be 200 years after skyrim and not mention anything about the civil war right
>>750889915Love the way how you are an ESL and cant read properly.Dickless burger mutt I guess?Ohh wait, ESl, dont know what a question mark is.
>>750890039only five years after Skyrim, but nothing you did in Skyrim will matter
>>750889710starfield was from scratch so they had every opportunity to fuck it up, this has all the groundwork already done
>>750888268>What we wanted Based niggers from Wakanda, I mean Yokuda genociding the left hand elves and the Sneed's, I mean nedes.>What we'll getYou use an elder scroll to go back in time and avoid the Thalmor from winning the 2nd great war (resumed after the civil war in Skyrim).
>>750888063Damn I really wanted it to be: The Elder Scrolls VI: Aetherius..yknow, the opposite of "Oblivion". So a game with a plane in TES's heaven
The seething trannies of /v/ could never make me hate you, Todd.
>>750889808>Fallout 76 - complete dogshit slopFO76 is really good...now.If you like fallout its a top tier fallout game, its more of what makes fallout good but devoid of a lot of the shit.
Skyrim was already average, Fallout 4 was a total snoozefest. What am I supposed to be excited for?
>>750890039likely result is some combination of a dragon break and then some other shit that makes the outcome of the civil war not matter like a full continental thalmor invasion
>>750888063Elder Scrolls VI Fentinel will flop
>>750889831>next one's called Sentinel
>>750890161Starfields infinite detail
My biggest concern is that it will take part in Redguard region (blacks), and instead doing actual lore friendly cool desert architecture and weapons/clothes, they will go full woke and make them more akin to modern NA niggers with random rap song playing in the background.

>>750889604
for once starting as a prisoner will make sense
>>750890136they keep picking the weirdest fights, hating on this is basically handing wokes the culture war
>>750888063Patriciantv and private sessions status?
>>750888265there are people who have been born and had kids within the timeframe the Skyrim has released and Sentinel will releaseAnd it's quality will at best maybe be on par with the best parts of Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Starfield each.
>>750888063Don't careCan I be an Argonian?
>>750890397heh
>350 people and 8 years>have no game to showThis is it.This is the end.They aren't surviving after this.
>>750890446todd will hold his position off of 76 and eso piggies alone
>>750890415pozzed aids.
I just want to see a sload mang, if Todd puts a sload in this game I will buy it and if he refuses I will NOT buy it.....
how hasn't todd howard been fired by higher microsoft people who have the power to do so?are they afraid removing todd will be seen as a sign of weakness? he has ruined any reputation bethesda had with starfield and not making a good elder scroll or fallout game (literally the only two things people care about from bethesda as they sit on the IP)
Thats just dumb. The appeal of skyrim is you could just say it and people would know what you're talking about. "Hey bro I've been playing sentinal" sounds like you're on a bender in MvC2. We're going back to the oblivion days where this series is dead and just known to nerds.
>>750889613Yeah fuck this game then. He had great ambience and main music. The rape shit was probably some food he looked at wrong as they were hiring for a diversity quota
>>750888265>Microsoft buyout>Jeremy Soule gone>Kurt Kuhlmann gone>76 and Starfield turned out like shit, Bethesda has lost the sauce>Asha is making them hurry the hell up, so it's going to be rushed despite being in development for agesThere's just too many things piling up here
>>750889869>>Emil Pagliarulo type of storyline where your choices don't matterskyrim is the only TES game where your choices matter
>a 60 second teaser showing nothing but the game title>againHoly shit, is todd just shitposting now?
>>750889349Literally BNWO kek
>>750890415they'll let you know 5 years after it's out
>>750890623They matter in Morrowind as well as you can kill everyone in the game except one person and still complete the main quest
Wasn't this leaked years ago? I distinctively remember seeing Threads on /v/ about this.
How streamlined can Todd make this game?
>>750888063As the wait for GTA6 comes to a close, the wait for TES6 begins... It's like poetry. We live in a cycle of endless hype for future releases.
>>750888265It's been 15 years since Skyrim. That's entire generation that passed by. This game probably won't come out until 2028-2030, meaning a newly born baby in 2011 when Skyrim came out would be well into college or his senior HS year by then. Also take a look at Starfield. This is a company that is stagnated and just makes mediocre shit. Too many games exist on Steam by an astronomical measure compared to 2011 to occupy peoples time. Why would anyone want to play more Toddslop, especially when they've turned their nose up at day 1 modding?
this game will be a generational catastrophe
>>750890602>Asha is making them hurry the hell up, so it's going to be rushed despite being in development for agesNot necessarily a bad thing, most devs are irresponsible and really do need to be tard wrangled by publishers into doing their jobs properly
>>750890485Thanks for chiming in, Todd.
>>750890780Ok I'm not into Argonians but....
>Sentinel>the place closest to High Rock via the Iliac Bay>the place where the Crowns and Forebears are least likely to buttraep each otherIt's Daggerfall-lite.
>>750890780I would be into Argonians if they actually looked like this.
>>750889349To be fair, if leaks are to be believed, it will be hammefall, High Rock and the main plotline will be about abandoned Redguards (by the empire) fighting Thalmor raids at the southern coast and even the final fight as summerset isles (main gameplay mechanic is said to be shipbuilding/sailing, which will take all the tech from starfield shipbuilding). + it is said they are bringing back spell crafting
>>750890712>Have you seen those warriors from Skyrim? They have straight swords. Straight. Swords.
>>750890684>you can kill everyone in the game except one person and still complete the main questso they don't matter at all?
>>750890850why would you name it after a city and not the region or the games antagonist
The next gen gooner mods will be top tier
>>750888265Starfield fumble. Fallout 76 is awful. Fallout 4 was extremely generic. Even Skyrim as much as it's praised wasn't as good as Oblivion or Morrowind.
>>750890932enjoy your vibecoded bitcoin miner sex scene mod with broken animations
>>750888265>Fallout 4 got rid of most RPG elements for little pay off>The botched Fallout 76 launch and pre-orders>Pete fucking Hines was their marketing head>Starfield is the least inspired sci-fy game you already played, and is a glorified F4 re-skin>The shit fuckery with Skyrim editions and paid mods>Skyrim is almost old enough to drive without a permit. I'm sure there's even more stuff even my terminally online ass doesn't know.
>>750888063> WE WUZ YOKUDANZ N' SHITWorst setting ever
>creation engine/gamebryo (lack of) performance>now with path tracingGreat I can't wait, thanks Todd!
>>750890878It doesn't matter when every NPC is unkillable and merely falls unconscious
>>750890907NTA but it makes it way harder if you don't already know what you're doing. The main quest just has a lot of fallbacks that don't rely on NPC interactions. The most important parts of the main quest just involve finding certain items and then killing Dagoth Ur. All of which will be waiting for you from the beginning of the game if you already know where to find them. There's some weird shit you have to do to get Wraithguard but like I said, there's fallback for that.
>>750890921Because it's clearly a Hammerfell-High Rock setting while sailing around the Iliac Bay. It isn't going to be set in a sandnigger capital like Rihad.
>>750890907You still kill those people in Oblivion, Skyrim, Fo4 and Starfield you can't kill anyone that "matters"
>>750888063>Set in HammerfellWe wuz dragon born n shiet
After Fallout 76....after Starfield...do people have genuine humiliation fetish?
>>750888265the dovahkiin baby died 2 years ago because he was drunk driving an electric scooter through an intersection while fleeing from the police
>>750891127Morrowind allows you kill important NPCs and still find a way to finish the main quest*the later games just makes everyone unkillable if they matter to the plot
>>750891043It is genuinely baffling how the industry drowns us in Unreal engine games, the one fucking company that could benefit from using Unreal still won't. Like goddamn those senior devs at Bethesda have that company over a barrel until they retire or leadership does.
>>750891257Bethesda are the only ones left making these type of games. They're holding onto the Ultima Underworld dream.
>>750890907you can do this in Fallout New Vegas and BG3 toogood RPGs respect player freedom and allow you to murder everyone you come across if you're so inclined
the nerevarine was an orsimerthe hero of kvatch was an orsimerthe dragonborn was an orsimerorsimer supremacy
>>750888265Shartfield and FO4 killing every chance of this having ANY depth whatsoever, be it mechanical, narrative, artistical or musical.At this point I'm expecting fucking Fable-tier complexity from ESVI>no classes (again) you get one button for magic and one for swinging whatever you're holding in hand>you dont even get perks anymore, just choose hp/sp/mp with complete linear progression>skyrim in the desert>completely ignores previous lore and its about dragons again>settlement management >MTXsI'm expecting it being the biggest shit show of whatever year it releases.
>>750891302I'm begging for you to look into indie games
>>750891289>the one fucking company that could benefit from using Unreal still won'tNah they have a very good reason for not using unreal. Bethesdas engine is very modular, theres a reason their games are so popular and easy to modThe worst thing they could do is move to unreal.
>>750891303there is no freedom if your mass murder isn't even acknowledgedmorrowind has no narrative choices and even the gameplay choices boil down to making the same broken character that everyone who plays the game will make
>>750891302>the only ones left making these type of games.what type of game is that?It's not like first-person dungeon crawlers don't exist; a lot of indies have cropped up over the years doing either a King's Field or Ultima Underworld-like experience
>>750891043I don't get you creation hatefags at all. You know that the only realistic alternative to creaiton engine is UE5 slop, right? And creation engine is the main drive behind massive modding community. I will take creation engine elder scrolls with full modding like previous games over some UE5 slop number 9999.
>>750889454Finally we can become... SWORDBORN! FUS ROH STAB!!
>>750891365I'm not playing card and farm slop
>shouts just get turned into sword magic, basically the same mechanic>fewer skill trees to bring in more smooth brains>Alduin worked so well, so he is returning as the world eating Satakal the Worldskin!Any other ways Bethesda can copy and paste a simplified Skyrim and sell it as TES 6?
>>750891417AAAcattle can't be helped
>>750891387>isn't even acknowledgedit's acknowledged by the game letting you do it
>>750891390>>750891365Indie games that attempt it are not whole experiences, they usually do some aspects of it and try to hone it there. The AA attempts are much better on not relying on gimmicks but Bethesda are still the only AAA holding onto the Ultima-Underworld torch and legacy.
>>750891346Temu makima
>>750888265>decade and a half later of Fallout/Starfield priority and shitty MMO's>Bethesda games already being less and less RPG-like or content-rich>reliance on modders fixing everything for a price>literally everything about Starfield>game already confirmed to be doubling down on Gamebryo>dev staff already confirmed to be recruiting gigafaggots, including the dangerhairs who killed BioWare>said people in charge of We Wuz HammerfellWe're getting one of the ugliest AAA games to date that none of the staunchest Bethesda fans could defend, not even the YEAH motherfucker. Todd better have a Herculean ace up his sleeves.
I hope they make the argonian's flat chested or at least give me a breast slider. I can't get off of the lizards have tits
>>750891270Proof?
>>750888265Bethesda hasnt made a good game since Skyrim. And even then, Skyrim was already a severely dumbed down version of their previous games.
>>750888265Every single sequal gets dumbed down more and more. Sentinel will be a brainless action hack and slash. With 3 skills and half a dozen spells
>>750891504I actually think it might end up a worse game than Starfield, everything about it screams disaster
>>750891487retarded opinionnot even the expansions acknowledge your "choice"You can kill helseth in the middle of his throne room and nothing changesits the most soulless way to create an rpgeven ultima back in the day had the balls to make the player commit to their mistakes
>>750891403He got his opinions downloaded from a youtuber years ago and has never thought then through since.
>>750889604>"okay whatever this is dumb slo-">the view from the bridge
>>750891504kill yourself furfag
>>750888063>It's after Starfield>It'll be mostly made by Indians and AI>It's set in Hammerfell, directly after the media obsession with minorities and people getting fed of of black people worshipThis is going to fucking crater.
>>750888265Todd has a thing for minimalism.He demands things to be taken out each iteration of the franchise for ''streamlining''
>>750891537Would I lie to you?
>>750888138This, seriouslyBethesda already went to shit before the MS buyout, I can't imagine how much worse the development conditions are now
>>750888265If you look at their games in a timeline, Bethesda has been slowly removing any RPG elements and depth from their gameplay with each new title.I think Todds endgoal is to just have a Fallout game that plays like Borderlands but still calls itself an RPG.
>>750888063Friendly reminder that Duke Nukem Forever was announced in 1996 and released 15 years later in 2011. It has been 15 years since Skyrim.
TRUSTINTODDSUPREMACY
Think they will try their paid mods again?
>>750891598How the hell is making NPCs unkillable supposed to be better than that? Just fuck off. You're completely illogical.
PREDICT HOW THEY'LL MESS UP THE LORE AGAIN
>>750891678There was a restructuring that happened so there likely was a shakeup to cut down the bloat and fat.
>>750891673You're right.
>>750891757There is always one fag in morrowind thread arguing the most insane takes, next time it will be whining about weapon durability or something
>>750891749oh god don't remind me
>>750891749They're a microsoft company now, if they don't figure out how to monetize correctly this go round, they're going to be subsidizing the other acquisitions with layoffs instead.
>>750891687Duke Nukem had the excuse of small studio pls understand, these fuckers are swimming in money with biggest publisher ever and deliver less output than single man indie studios.
>>750891749they will try again and again until it finally sticks, sadly
>>750890921>Arena>it's actually the entire continent>Daggerfall>it's actually the entire province Daggerfall is in plus another>Morrowind>it's actually only a tiny part of Morrowind>Oblivion>it actually only has a single plane of Oblivion (a second in the DLC) and is mostly in a normal region>Skyrim>entirely accurate
>>750891782>Moth priests originate in Redguard culture; the Imperials just stole it>Redguards are the original human race; everyone else is descended from them>Redguards didn't colonise Hammerfall it was promised to them 10,000 years ago > the Redguards didn't blow up Yoruba with Sword Singing; the left-handed elves did itect ect
>>750891786Yeah that was the problem, the bloat dev numbers, not the dogshit direction from the leads. Microsoft's "restructuring" has never done any good anyway
>>750891782ANYBODY CAN LEARN HOW TO SWORD-SING, EVEN THE MOST SWAMP-EYED LIZARD IN THE DEEP JUNGLES OF THE BLACK MARSH CAN HONE THEIR ABILITIES IN THE TRADITIONAL SECRETS OF THE CROWNS
>>750888063>6 years>no fucking gameplayGrim.
>>750891504live furfag
>>750891941>>it's actually the entire province Daggerfall is inDaggerfall has less than half of High Rock in it>>it's actually only a tiny part of MorrowindVvardenfell is like 1/4 of Morrowind
>>750892007Me. I'm that swamp scaled lizard.
>>750888265Literally everything they did post Skyrim
>>750891782The object in the trailer is an elder scroll, the elder scrolls feature heavily in the plot and that one leak was correct.
>hammerfellMicrosoft, please, don't wait. Shut this company down already. Nobody cares about Redguards and deserts. The fact that it's already taking them 8+ years to make a new entry set in the desert region, compared to the previous games, says it all. It's going to be a disaster.
>>750888265kikes turning every piece of media into their propaganda
>>750892076>Vvardenfell is like 1/4 of MorrowindIt's like one-fifth at most and is explicitly the most underdeveloped region of the province
>>750891757making npcs killable isn't a choice when it doesn't affect anything you retarded mongoloideven fucking quest givers don't mention itof course you faggots don't play the game, its just a cargo cult with you
>>750891941Erm actually you briefly visit peryite's plane too (it is identical to the deadlands)
>>750888175they made 3 other games in the meantime
>>750891345But you cannot point on the map where the fuck Orsinium is.
>>750889349It doesn't matter what the lore is, the lore will be raped and made boring just like every other province besides Morrowind. It happened to the imperial province and Skyrim, it will happen to Hammerfell 100%, that shit is WAY too weird for nuthesda. Prepare for a PGE 4 with even more retcons.
>>750891504If the Khajiits are as cute as Katia in Sentinel I'd get it. Too bad that'll never happen!
>>750888063A fucking title reveal. Is Bethesda a japanese company? They keep announcing announcements
It will be the best game ever. The only, single, positive thing about the time elapsed between Skyrim and this, is that there have been great RPGs where they could draw inspiration from for improved game mechanics. Elder Scrolls is sitting on great lore/story possibilities and that is probably going to be the weak point, looking at Starfield.If they aren't able to create a game to the maximum potential it actually has, after knowing the mistakes they have made in the last couple of years, then just throw Todd of a cliff and burn the whole company down, it will not be missed
>>750891504>dev staff already confirmed to be recruiting gigafaggots, including the dangerhairs who killed BioWareSource? It's not that I don't believe you but I wanna laugh at it
>>750892193>where the fuck Orsinium isorc_pointing_to_his_heart.webp
>>750892276
>>750889349You're joking but the lore and story of this game are actually going to be among the greatest in the series, based on what we've already seen in The Elder Scrolls Online.Magnus or a cult linked to the God will be the main villainsTime travel or something similar to Prince of Persia: The Sands of TimeRetell and reenact the serie's major wars.
>>750888063>Fallout 76>Starfield>Oblivion RemasterBethesda has burnt up all of their goodwill
>>750888175People keep buying skyrim ports and additions. Todd wanted to the studio to produce sci-FY games with fallout and try a new IP with starfield. Then there's the whole ESO can of worms that needed to managed for stock holders.
Kirkbride is coming back to consult?
I used to be a massive TESfag but I watched that reveal trailer and felt nothing.
>>750889604I kek'd
>>750888063is gonna be UE5 slop, mark my words>>750888583>literally 80% of the ground work is already donelollmao
>>750892158That's not actually true. Killing vivec locks you out of the wraithguard that doesn't permanently eat a large portion of your health and killing the last dwarf as well means you have to tank Keening and Sunder's damage unprotected. A lot of quests also have at least a token acknowledgement of the quest giver dying in your journal
>>750892391nope
>>750892357Normgroids loved the Oblivion remaster, though
>>750892394Probably because they didnt show anything.
>>750892391yep
>>750892394because there is nothing, if there was gameplay you'd be excited probably
>>750888265bethesta
Bethesda has been getting raped for years now. There's no point looking forward to this piece of shitCDProjectRed does the Beth formula betterWarhorse does the Beth formula betterUnpaid tranny jannies from Tamriel Rebuilt do the Beth formula better.
>>750891504Sex with Katia
>>750892101Redguards have been one of the most beloved races by lorefags for the past 2 decades tho
>>750891403I'm not saying they should switch to some different engine or whatever, also this guy >>750891612 is a retarded faggotIt's just a 25 year running joke at this point that Bethesda games are coded like shit due to the inherent, ancient, programming decisions for that engine.
>>750891924Already did. Creation Club was such a hit on FO4 that was retroactively added to Skyrim
>>750892423My nigga they've already said tes 6 is being powered by creation engine 3.
>>750891941>Daggerfall>only 0.000001% of the map is Daggerfall
>>750892193all of tamriel am orc clay
>>750892494Because Skyrim Thalmor scenario ended in a cliffhanger. They probably never mention Thalmor in Sentinel because Israel and Epstein.
>>750892479Cyberpunk was not a rpg it was a gta lite
>>750888583>literally 80% of the ground work is already done by the previous gamesThat doesn't stop them from removing shit or making it worse. It's what they've done every single time before. Don't fool yourself into thinking they won't do it again.
>>750888265They took too damn long
>>750892423bitch they overhauled and improved the starfield engine (creation engine 2), TESVI is the first creation engine 3 game. you are all going to be sucking todd's giga rod when sentinel drops
>>750892391He already knew the name. He's definitely back in some capacity.
>>750888063What was the point of this? No gameplay, not even a cinematic....
>>750892394There is nothing to feel anymore in this fucked up world
Are they gonna bring back classes for that sweet RPG build-tree autism? It was one of the larger complaints with Skyrim that they extremely streamlined the differences between classes.
>>750892581Still got some Beth game philosophy better than their recent titles
>>750892573No, it's because they're quite special in virtue of the fact that a game that was named after and whose story was about them (Adventures: Redguard) was the birthplace of modern TES lore, which also made them by far one of the most developed races lorewiseThe franchise isn't just Skyrim y'know
>>750892581it was a RPG in the same way VtM Bloodlines was an RPG so it is one, but it's a rather lite version of an RPG
>>750892652What a grand and intoxicating innocence. AAA games only ever get more casualized and streamlined. How could you be so naive?
>>750892652I'll just fill out the forms myself, thanks
>>750892515>powered by something worse than UE5 crapgrim
>>750892581Kinda like skyrim. They even refuse to let you kill "essential" npc's these days lowering the roleplay value even more.
>YES WE ARE WORKING MICROSOFT SAMA PLEASE DONT FIRE US
>>750892702>>750892716One can hope for Bethesda to learn from their criticisms.
>>750892652I truly hope so, but we all know every TES game will be more dumbed down than the last one.
>>750892394Same. I don't think I can feel any hype after the Fallout disasters and Starfield. I just don't trust modern Bethesda.
>>750892652Surely they will
>>750892479>CDProjectRed does the Beth formula betterTheir design philosophy is closer to Ubisoft's than Bethesda. CDPR games are honestly very mediocre they just adapt cool IPs and overwhelm you with aesthetics.
>>750888063>hammerfell>another human provinceFuck this gay ass timeline
>>750891749I miss him bro. He was fuck to old... but at least he was a american president.
>>750892748They made skyrim after oblivion so they clearly dont give a fuck about the RPG crowd of their fanbase. They already lost me with oblivion
>>7508928298 years for a more generic theme and a generic title. Starfield 2.0
>>750892851Oblivion was 20 years ago
>>7508880638 years after the shareholder dick tickling teaser, amazing.
>>750892652Let's face it, we all made custom classes anyway because the stock ones were garbage.But yes, I hope they'll bring back attributes. I want starting out as a dainty Breton girl to be a different experience than an Orc barbarian. I don't want my character to be good at everything. This is the appeal of RPG's.
>ES6 will come out 20 years after ES5 and still also somehow be rushed
>>75089283290% of players just default to humans, anon.
>>750888265For me, the marxists.
>>750892652>Are they gonna bring back classes for that sweet RPG build-tree autism?Why the fuck? You can do all those classes in skyrim, and more.Most of you made custom classes anyway.
>things got so fucking bad at BGS that pajeeta had to take away fallout and give it to obsidian lmao, and obsidian, who has put out nothing but ass games recently, is still rated higher than bethesda.Its so fucking over bros...
>>750889543Really?
>>750888063I can't feel anything after 76 and Starfield.
Even the music for the "trailer" (a fucking name reveal, what a joke...) is so bland and uninspired, if it's set in not-Middle East why not use instruments of the area to sell the exoticness of this new setting. That's too much to ask of nu Bethesda.DOA, it's over, pack it up boys
>>750892849is the current one not american?
Wife
>>750888265I remember the exact moment, when I leveled up in Saarfield and my options for levelling were 10%+ pistol damage and similar.Somehow it got even more dumbed down from Skyrim, which could be fixed with mods. Fallout 4 was a slight improvement thanks to its weapon mod system, but Starfield just dumbed it down again.
>>750892972I was hoping for more something like what Ultima Underworld did where your class mostly just affects your early-mid game before you become an attribute monster.
>>750893086No he's Israeli.
>>750890083That would've been cool.
>>750893101St Leki is a woman? I always thought this was a man when I played Redguard.
>>750892972Maybe I want to specialize with actual drawbacks for a character instead of just self imposed playstyle restrictions?
>>750893081bruh dont expect them to do interesting things with hammerfell or not-middle eastern culture, its skyrim on the desert.
this was the name of the project back when I interviewed there in... 2018 I think it was. I don't think the guy meant to say it
You guys keep seething about Starfield but you can't even put on paper why it is objectively a bad game
>>750893131That's every US president since Bush, anon
>>750888265SANDS OF TIME
>>750892718I have my gripes with creation engine but I still would pick that engine over unreal engine 5 everytime.
>>750893140Always was>Leki (Saint of the Spirit Sword): Goddess daughter of Tall Papa, Leki is the goddess of aberrant swordsmanship. The Na-Totambu of Yokuda warred to a standstill during the mythic era to decide who would lead the charge against the Lefthanded Elves. Their swordmasters, though, were so skilled in the Best Known Cuts as to be matched evenly. Leki introduced the Ephemeral Feint. Afterwards, a victor emerged and the war with the Aldmer began.
>>750888063Microslop forced them to announce it.I know /v/ is even more retarded the /pol/, but you guys do know Todd does not call the shots, right.He is a game director and face of Bethesda game studios, not Bethesda the parent company.
>>750893210I don't think people can put on paper why it is objectively a decent game, either.
>>750893216this one is russian on top of that
I hope I can wage jihad against the elves, Inshallah
>>750893174>Maybe I want to specialize with actual drawbacks for a characterBethesda will never implement stuff like that again because they believe it will turn off the normie retards and Microsoft expects TESVI to sell 50 million copies
>>750893281Do you feel in charge?
>>750893312Which is why I have 0 hope for this game.
>>750889349Fake fan
as dumbed down and streamlined whatever gameplay they have planned, it cannot be worse than Oblivion. It's literally impossible to do worse than oblivion.
I have faith in my white boi todd to deliver elder scrolls kino one last time.
>it took you 8 years for one fucking name reveal trailer
This is going to be so soul-crushing when it comes out and is shit.And I KNOW it's going to be shit.
>>750892260Wish I could directly link it (busy at work rn to search it) but we had a thread about it the other day and it was a profile status screencap so check the archives. Some legitimate troon IIRC too.>>750891587Best case scenario we're at least finally getting an updated modding-playground to replace Skyrim and legitimately make look good with, assuming Todd doesn't pull some even bigger bullshit with that too. Imagine him (or rather Xbox) pulling a Capcom and wrapping a whole Denuvo DRM package with a secondary shady Russian DRM made by some con-kid just to ensure the only mods allowed for a title this big are paid bullshit (which will result in more quantity-over-quality quickbux mods yet again with heavier censorship than Nexus already does, MAYBE a few game-sized expansions and overhauls after several years if we're lucky). That right there would be the killing blow to having any remaining reason to play Bethesdaslop.>>750891629>>750892065>>750892237Furchads stay winning.
>>750889349It's actually more interesting than muh falmer or muh ayylieds, the future deciding men vs mer war is supposed to happen in this game.
>>750893174What drawbacks did classes bring?
>>750893383oblivion was less streamlined than skyrim lol
>>750893269>always wasNo? It was just a portrayal in Redguard with no background info, just painted atop a ceiling.
>>750893361It's not even true because FromSoftware and Larian proved you can make an RPG with depth and still sell millions of copies but American devs are just so far behind the game these days, they have no idea what consumers want
>they had 15 years time to make TES6>still rushed slopHow can they be so incompetent
>>750888265Half of the people which made TES what it is has left either due to old age or due to change in company policyNo good game for 15 years that /v/tards (a very whiny demographic that will whine about anything) won't complain about n'wahs started to complain about skyrim only several years after the releaseEmil being himselfPajeetfield as a demo on how bethesda designes games nowPaid mods existingTES6 probably being the biggest microsoft game at the moment, meaning they might try to monopolise it for their platforms via some in-game proprietary ai bullshitetc etcYou know - the usual
>>750893506They like fallout way more than tes
>>750888063The Elder Scrolls VIMango Sentinel
>>750892652Yeah it will 100% have classes. Starfield already had classes. It's the same as Morrowind, you just get some skills higher to start but you can still become anything you wantThese games never really had "classes" like D&D or something even if they were called that, there's no restrictive class features
>>750889084>Modern Bethesda in charge of models and texturesDon't hold your breath, everyone from 15 years ago left the company except Todd. Expect Bangladeshis and Claude AI to be in charge.
>>750888063>overwatch>highguard>veilguard>sentinelWhy do corpos loves the le guardians title
>>750893450kill yourself furfag
>>750888265bethesda making 6 games people liked and then making absolute trash games for 11 years now
>>750888063>SentinelIt's going to be in the lands of the sandnegroes with High Rock as DLC.
>>750888063I just don't care anymore>>750888265Veilguard game designer is in this
>>750893506A lot of people will blame the usual suspects (which is probably partially true) but from what I've heard from somewhat reliable sources who have worked with Todd for a while, Todd basically wants to be known as a "chill" or "cool" boss and doesn't want to put a bunch of pressure or crunch time on his employees so it basically results in nothing ever being done at Bethesda. Asha probably had to step in and tell BGS to actually make something or get gutted.
>>750893458Slower minor skill levelling, no/smaller bonus to minor/misc skills. If it was a preset class you might be stuck with a skill, attribute or specialization you would not have wanted.
>>750893774>Veilguard game designer is in thisthis will be a hilarious flop
>>750889298>xir doesn't know
>>750892652I'll be honest. Barony is a better Elder Scrolls game than anything Bethesda puts out these days. I've even heard that Tainted Grail is also better than any Elder Scrolls game that Bethesda released. This game will be the end of the series until a spiritual successor comes along or a “remake” is made by a studio that knows what it's doing.
>>750893465>oblivion>zero hit stop or response, press button for equipped magic, no you cannot wield magic as a weapon, no dual wielding, no directional input power attacks, no way to specialize in a single weapon, It wasnt.sure skyrim did away with a lot of stuff but it was stuff that hindered gameplay like weapon durability.
We got a remaster of the TES6 trailer before GTA6.
>>750893917>>zero hit stop or response,Already wrong.
>>750892652I think I'd be okay with a simplified skill tree if each class had their own unique tree and you were locked into that class permanently.
>>750893917you cannot wield magic as a weapon either in morrowind. still far more complex than skyrim just like oblivion
>>750893837>Slower minor skill levelling, no/smaller bonus to minor/misc skills.In skyrim you level slower with minor skillsIf it was a preset class you might be stuck with a skill, attribute or specialization you would not have wanted.Not creating a custom class for what you actually want? Sounds like>>750893174>self imposed playstyle restrictions?Yes MW/Oblivion class system was shite
>>750893917Oblivion had better weapon swings than Skyrim. Not even a dagger felt fast in Skyrim which is why I went full magic in that game. If there's one thing I hope they improve, it's the overall weapon attack speeds. Using melee in Skyrim feels like fucking slow motion compared to how quick melee attacking in Morrowind and Oblivion felt.
>>750893774>Veilguard game designer is in thisOh God this game is doomed.
>>750893210You can build ships, but not in any way you wantYou can have different skills, but perks are just +n damage or basic functions, like being able to use the jump packQuests are lame and there is less of them than in MorrowindMost of the game is randomly generated, with most of the points of interest being prefabs which look the same and have the same loot in the same placesPlot is assSetting is sterile and void of conflict, and most offending of all - generic. Oh, so here's generic scifi capital planet - it has a small city the size of a village and nothing else worth of note on the surface. Oh, here's the cowboys in space planet. Oh, here's the cyberpunk oil rig planet for shady corporation. Oh, here's the pirate moon. Oh, here's hawaii in space. Oh, here's the last jew in the galaxy. All other religions spliced together into scientology, but not the single jew on the generation ship.Planets are cloned - every single planet, even the ones with alien ruins, have prefab farmhouses, research facilities, pirate bases, random alien shit which look the same no matter the planet. Sure, here this planet is a redwood forest, and this one here is a moon with no athmosphere - yet they are the same, except for the biom. Even minecraft - a game that was mostly vibecoded - has more variety than this and it actually impacts your gameplay.It is a tech demo.Cool. Bethesda can procedurally generate a big ass crater.Cool. Bethesda can make ladders now.Cool. Bethesda can make movable constructs out of prefabs now.And? Other companies (much smaller than bethesda) were able to do that since around the time of Skyrim.
As soon as trailer and gameplay leaks show 80% of the NPCs being ugly negro women lecturing the PC about politics and the game is dead in the water
>>750893784And the best TES game they made was under extreme pressure (Morrowind).Maybe Asha will have recreated that crucible of pressure.
>>750888063Put me in the screencap
>>750888063TES VI Sentinel will not have the following key people making it>Jeremy Soule>Kurt Kuhlmann>Michael Kirkbride>Ken Rolston>Mark Nelson>Ted Peterson>Bruce NesmithThe chance of it being Elder Scrolls vidya is lower than it being good vidya.
>>750894237Yeah, the second they show some nu-nigger character with rap song in the background instead of actual lore accurate redguard the game is dead
Here's your Sentinel bro.
>>750893706The fact that it's named sentinel is telling me it ain't gonna be just Hammerfell, would be weird to have the titular city and capital of the province off at the edge of the map. Since much of the interior is desert and the sea is mostly empty they could add the Iliac Bay I bet.
>>750888923Source?

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
>>75089437815 years... they really skipped one generation
>>750894074that was shit in morrowind too.Blocking was braindead in MW.There's goods and bads to everything,
>>750894191>You can build ships, but not in any way you wantstopped reading here you have never built a ship in starfield
>>750894152No worries, the head writer wrote a Skyrim’s thieves guild quest!

>>750894291damn redguard women look like THAT?
>>750894575I want my rooms sideways, and with 2 level canteen area in the middle - kinda like a vault from the fallout 4Yes, you could combine 1x1 blocks but it's not the same thing as having functional rooms>inb4 they have changed it after release1. It is an obvious thing that should have been in the basic game2. It doesn't deserve to be pirated for the second time
>>750894394Sadly eso is probably the best guess how it will look since Bethesda likes to pretend it's canon
>>750894191>You can have different skills, but perks are just +n damage or basic functions, like being able to use the jump pack+20 sword skill = +20% damage with swords>Omg so complex and depthsword perk = +20% damage with swords>NOOO I'M BEING DUMBED DOWN
>>750888265FIFTEEN YEARSIFTEENYEARS
>>750888652Enemies might have it too. Like how Draugr could do shouts in Skyrim.But it will probably be the game's gimmick.
>>750894735>piratedthere it isif you're not even a customer then you have no business demanding changes to any of their games
>>750894338Solitude was on the northwestern coast in Skyrim in-game though.
>>750894791I played on the gamepass on releaseNever playing for this heap of garbage
>>750892501yeah not even creation club but they just retroactively named mods "creations" on their hosting platform and tons of people upload paid mods imagine if the script extenders were paywalled, the modding scenes would be dead

>>750888063My biggest fear is the falloutshittification of this game. I don’t not want to be forced to engage in any colony/building slop. I want a pure exploration experience.
>>750888063Morowind was goated for it's time.Oblivion was the peak expression of artistry in video games. While also being the death spiral of video gamesFo3 showed they cant innovate at allSkyrim was a fun setting but provided nothing new while removing elements that made the Elder Scrolls an RPGFo4 showed they cant innovate at all and also their writing was garbageStarfield showed they can't even make a game any more.Sfentanyl is going to be more abysmal dog shit from outsourced indians and most likely will kill Todd's career.
>>750895583The best I can do is buildslop, shit combat and 16 times the niggers.
>>750888265The weight. And Starfield.
>>750889587Skyrim makes too much money for Bethesda to close up sadly.
So they gonna showcase the three way hatred between the Bretons, RedGuards, and Orsimer?
>>750895583You've probably played with Hearthfire installed and that didn't stop you from exploring
>>750888923OH HE'S HURT

>>750895782Microsoft don't need Bethesda to stay open to keep making money off Skyrim and Fallout 4, infact they'd probably save more by shutting them down
>>750888265Starfield sucking, Bethesda game design being massively outdated, and a good game doesn't that this fucking long to make. I bet this game has changed direction like 15 times since they started, with terrible management. Its also been in development through the entire woke phase and is definitely affected. This game is going to be bad

>>750890549Xbox is run by boomers and pajeets who don’t play vidya. The boomers don’t have a fucking clue about Starfield’s reception and only saw its sales numbers. The pajeets live in india and spend their free time raping ugly women.Any game company ran by people who actually gave half a fuck would have either forced Todd out completely or appointed a new director for TES6 as soon as they bought Bethesda to ensure it came out before 2032
>>750888063This shit's gonna flop so hard.
I know normalfags like to meme about waiting for GTA 6 to come out for so long but people have been genuinely waiting for TES6 far longer well before even its announcement.
>>750896067This, their management is woefully out of touch and doesn't understand what gamers want and how to force developers to make those games
>>750895935Orsinium is in Hammerfell now. If anything, it's the greatest proof that VI won't have High Rock in it; they clearly wanted to have Orsinium in the game but decided early on that the Wrothgarian Mountains wouldn't be in it, so they came up with that.

>>750888063sounds kinda gay. literally like the name of a gay bar.
Why do so many people care about Elder scrolls lore?I swear this might be the last place on the internet where people unironically remember this shitIs the average age of 4chan users actually mid 40s now?
>>750896603mostly it's from watching some youtuber tranny explain it all to thema lot of zoomers are like that, they won't play the game but will listen to some fag about the lore for 50 hours
>>750888175Warhorse absolutely raped them because they made a better game than they did in the last 20 years on shoestring budget, this scared them so hard they spend years trying to copy it and ''hopefully'' that would be enough for the masses.
>>750896603I only care about the elder scrolls coomer mods. Can't wait to see what the coomer moders come up with for tes 6
>>750888923Why would you genuinely post a censored one as a fucking link and not the original, uncensored version?
How has Bethesda failed to live up to Morrowind all these years later? Why do they continue to dumb all their games to the piint where every choice is just Yes/No with Yes being the only actual option and class variety going the Dodo?
>>750888265Stafield showed just how much damage the microsoft buyout did to bethesda.
>>750888130Sentinel is a cool nameBut I already don't like the game because it's going to be set with 80% of the NPCs being black. Not looking good.
>>750896408You wouldn't get it.
>>750896603The lore is what makes the series what it is. If you take any of the games and strip all the lore out, you end up left with pretty mediocre (at best) gameplay.
Will he make a new cartoon for this one?
>>750888265the following reasons, in chronological order>The Witcher 3 doing narrative in an open world medieval fantasy RPG better than bethesda ever couldFallout 4Fallout 76Too much time between releasesElden Ring doing combat and build variety in an open world medieval fantasy RPG better than Bethesda ever couldStarfieldOblivion Shartmastered
>>750896770Every game afterwards was better than Morrowind.Also stop pretending Morrowind had more choices
>>750896770Bethesda got super popular in the 00s when the meta for RPGs was to dumb them down for retards on the Xbox 360It worked out really well for them back then but audiences have changed since then, Bethesda haven't.
>>750895785Breton settlements are definitely in the game, the concept artist pinterest leaks had plenty of european castles and suchIt may not be a big swathe of High Rock but there's at least some Breton towns for certain
>>750889831based seer anon
>>750896603It's wacky in a good way and unique which makes for interesting lore.
>>750888265Honeymoon phase ended long time ago, pajeets and foids making up entire dev teams in present day dystopiaits constantly being pushed back to dodge normie cuck sim 6 release cycle and that the game in its current state is broken ai churned shit
>>750896953That could just be settlements in the Dragontail Mountains, which is still Hammerfell but sees an influence from Breton-Nord culture
>>750896603it's not that everyone is mid 40s, it's that everyone is playing the same games people in their mid 40s play because those games are better and nothing new has been made since thenTES is the perfect case in point for this, if you want a fantasy RPG sandbox one of your best options is a game made 15 years ago
>niggerfelllollmaoI'll pass.
>>750896707The censored one is funnier
>>750895640Oblivion was a dogshit, generic European fantasy land, with its LOTR-inspired oblivion gates gimmick, inbred-looking NPCs, goofy dialogue and voiceover, an empty world that wasn't worth exploring, repetitive dungeons with barely two tilesets, and countless retcons that only made the game worse.It was the first game in the series where you could 100% everything and do virtually everything in a single playthrough. It removed faction wars, political intrigue, and much of the rich worldbuilding that made Morrowind interesting. The game barely took itself seriously at all.Oblivion was a bad, and you only like it because it was probably your first Elder Scrolls game. Both Morrowind and Skyrim are better games in their own respective ways.
>>750896915Don't forget>mogged by Kingdom Come>mogged AGAIN by Kingdom Come
>>750896915Don't forget fan mods making better quests than Skyrim ever could, consistently, for years.
>>750896603never understood elder lore and never cared for it
>>750888063All I know is that when Sentinel drops, I'm going to be playing Morrowind instead.
>>750897051I get the distinct feeling you were, like me, also active on the TES forums back during the release of Oblivion. Your complaints read like the kind of shit I was angry about at the time.

>>750897051Oblivion was more grounded than a typical fantasy la-la land. That's why it was so comfy, it felt like a 16th century renaissance fair.
>>750897051NI HAO CHING CHONG BING BONG
>>750896827And I'd bet you they aren't gonna be middle-eastern literal sandniggers who will literally enslave anyone like Skyrim redguards.If I remember right dunmers were the actual niggers of skyrim when it came to segregation and shit.

>>750897051Sometimes I see people glazing oblivion and just wonder wtf they're smoking.The peak expression of artistry. dude what? Did he only listen to the soundtrack and nothing else? Genuinely bafflingThe first time I played Morrowind was about a year after Oblivion came out. I never had any desire to play it. I just thought it kinda looked ugly and didn't bother. It has only aged poorly since then. Then Skyrim blew up into the most popular RPG ever and totally buried it. I really don't get it

Other than the soundtrack, the one thing Oblivion had going for it was quest design. Not saying every Oblivion quest was good, but there was a higher percentage of interesting and novel quests in it compared to other TES games.Insane how boring and repetitive Skyrim quests are by comparison.
>>750897702You have NO IDEA just how much TES lore involves sex, penises, and cum.

>>750889604AHAHAHA!
>>750890623This. I feel like sometimes TES fans remember the speech mechanics in the older installations like they were in New Vegas. I went back and played Morrowind and thought my choices would matter cause people kept saying it used to be better. It's just not true, and kind of underwhelming. I think the Season Unending quest in Skyrim alone gives you more agency as a player than anything in Morrowind. In reality, New Vegas is the only game distributed by Bethesda that has good speech options, and that's because Bethesda didn't make it themselves. Bethesda have never been good at it.
>>750897890idk about that, most skyrim modders are AGP faggots who like playing a female character that gets raped by beasts and bandits

I don’t even care anymore. I’d rather play Dragon’s Dogma. Same shitty quests but astronomically better gameplay.
>>750897984Fallout 3 had a bunch of dialogue choices too
>>750896603not sure what you're smoking but as someone born in 1998, i love TES lore cause its unique among all the fantasy sloppa thats just rehash of LOTR.>>750896770Oblivion rapes Morrowind though>t. started with Morrowind
>>750888265Hype? I am finally getting hyped NOW, like right now.
>>750898008It's less because of him being a pervert and more because he studied religion in college and as such is good at writing mythology the way it actually is irl, i.e bizarre by our standards in virtue of not being forced to be held back by the need sanitize itself so that it can be sold to younger audiences and puritans don't get pissed
>>750897167>reddit writingwtf i thought Morrowind's writing was supposed to be deep and high IQ?
Elder Scrolls is the without a doubt the most overrated RPG ever. It's Ultima if you made it 3D but made it brain dead for the average retard.Skyrim and Oblivion have some of the worst combat ever. And having 3-d person combat where you can miss in Morrowwind is fucking retarded. If I hit on screen I should hit the enemy, otherwise make a turn based RPG.
It used to be called redguard I think.
>>750898465Yeah absolutely. He didn't infantilize a damn thing, and that made his shit feel like actual myth and legend.
>>750898065Morrowind quests are all fetch quests what are you talking about? All the guilds have pretty intriguing politics, but the quests are borderline unplayable
>>750888063Why can't it be about going to the elf lands and fucking with the thalmor? That's what I really wanted to see resolved when I beat skyrim. Who gives a fuck about hammerfell and high rock, they already even had a game there (two if you count Redguard), and I don't want Skyrim with black people
>>750898153that fact is older than you sonnylurk moar
>>750898353It helps that Dragons Dogma's combat mogs the shit out of anything Bethesda have ever made, including Dragon combat.
>>750896896Probably to laugh at it.
>>750898550>He posted it again
>>750888063It already looks like shit, the logo is off-center
>>750898550Morrowind ''fans'' don't actually play their game sorrythey're basically Silent Hill ''fans''
>>750898423>Oblivion rapes Morrowind thoughYeah, it's entire formula you mean, and takes a massive shit on top of it. After Skyrim there was never a reason for me to go back to Oblivion yet I constantly play Morrowind.
>>750898631im gonna ask my google AI assistant what you meant by this brb
>>750898465A massive amount of TES lore is just lifted from real world mythology and history, sometimes the names aren't even changed. It's incredibly authentic for that reason, sadly Oblivion kind of abandoned it and the series has lost touch with it more and more ever since, shifting toward more fantasy-genre plots grounded in other pop culture works. The plot of Sentinel being about "the mystery of the elder scrolls" and the visual language of the elder scroll in the video looking like a generic fantasy mmo object, yeah feels pretty sad.
>>750898736well we can't all have taste as shit as yours anon
>>750898736I thought it was pretty interesting that when I went back to Morrowind just a few months ago, I played a shitton without even installing any mods and had a blast.Then I installed only TR content and had a blast. It was only after that did I start layering on light modding, most of it just animation and graphical updates with a scant few quality of life features (Perfect Placement is the best mod ever made, by the way).

>>750898512Alright, who taught the zoomers about Ultima? I've been seeing it crop up more and more recently after decades of absolute silence, some influencer has to be behind it
>>750898874NTA but what he's describing is the general experience. Skyrim is just better than Oblivion in all the ways Oblivion might've been better than Morrowind, so Skyrim renders Oblivion obsolete. It got a whole ass remaster and nobody plays it because Skyrim is still better. Meanwhile Morrowind hit a new all-time peak when Tamriel Rebuilt put out Grasping Fortune last year. It's one of those good old games that seems to only get more popular as more new people learn about it.
>>750889604DAVE MUSTAINE????HOOOOOOLY SHHIIIIEEEET
>>750896827People of color exist.Deal with it.
>>750899176I saw a reel talking about how the admins or some shit died and GabeN talking about it so must be that.
>>750899526okay, but I'm not buying video games about them
>>750898465basically this. anyone who complains about the sexuality in kirkbride's stuff is just an uncultured retard who doesn't know that a real life pagan polytheistic culture's mythos will go something like>and then the sun god's severed head impregnated the maiden by spitting semen on her hand and so were born the hero twins!>and then the brave little hero defeated the dark lord and his evil empire through the power of friendship and help from a wise and powerful goddess!that being said though kirkbride still deserves bullying for his sci-fi technobabble fits
>>750899364>Skyrim rendering Oblivion obsoletelol wrongquests are what break or make an RPG and neither Morrowind or Skyrim have great or even good quests for the most part, Oblivion is the best in this regard, guilds too.
>>750897051>generic European fantasy landLike it or not every fantasy RPG in recent memory was dark and grim>Dark Souls>Dragon's Dogma>Baldur's Gate 3>Witcher 3>Lords of the Fallen>Dragon Age: OriginsSomething like Oblivion is hard to come by Fable 1 being an exception
>>750899680>that being said though kirkbride still deserves bullying for his sci-fi technobabble fitsYeah, I will never like c0da. Nobody can make me.
>>750899364Because there is no game like Morrowind. There are games that copy some of it's systems but there really is no Morrowind clone.

>>750899713>Baldur's Gate 3>dark and grim
Since Daggerfall is free does it have any issues on modern PC? Just how jank it is?
feeling like playing some elder scrolls /v/Do I go for Morrowind with tamriel rebuilt or modded skyrim on a vampire run?
>>750900000Checked !It shouldn't have any issues, although you'd probably have a nore pleasant experience with Daggerfall Unity.
