I’ve honestly stopped caring at this point. There was a time when I would have preordered it but with Bethesda’s recent releases I will wait and see.
I for one refuse to care about this game until six months after release, when reviews are in and first batch of patches have been added. Skyrim may be great today, but it was a buggy mess upon release.
What recent actions have they taken? I’m out of the loop.
Recent releases. In my opinion they haven’t released a good game in years. To be fair I have not played Starfield though. Space themes don’t really excite me.
Recent? You mean the last decade.
Damn! It has been that long!
Same. After a few hundred hours in ESO, which was a far better experience, and watching a few videos on Starfield, I’ve got zero desire to buy a new Bethesda single player game.
Ah yes. The 6 monthly There is no ES6 news news story.
This must be about the 30th of these I have read.
Skyrim will be old enough to vote next year…
It’s Beth’s fault for teasing it like 10 years before release
13yos have voting rights in your country?
Release 11-11-11
12 yearsThey said next year
And Skyrim was conceived in 2006.
After Starfield I expect absolutely fuck all.
Yeah, take your time. The only way for all of it not to be a disaster is to make a good game, and we see how that’s nearly impossible for them to do now. So, nobody really cares and nobody really should. I really wish they would do good, but I have zero expectations.
And don’t expect us to buy Elder Scrolls 6 until at least six months after release. We’ve been through this before, Todd.
So should I just force myself to forget this game exists? Starfield didn’t do it for me, so this is the only Bethesda game I’m interested in right now.
I had heard one of the lead TES creative directors left Bethesda a while back and found this reddit post: Kurt Kuhlmann Has Left Bethesda Game Studios : r/teslore - Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/teslore/comments/17b1jw8/kurt_kuhlmann_has_left_bethesda_game_studios/
Well this seems like a bit of a blow, but the one I was actually trying to remember was Michael Kirkbride (the guy behind the CHIM stuff). Apparently he’s been working as a creative consultant for them since 2000, so there’s a good chance he’s helping with TES VI.
People will still say it was over-hyped.
No matter how good it is, and I’m hoping for the best, it will definitely be over-hyped.
They advertised it YEARS ago. It’s already overhyped.
At this point, the only way Bethesda has in order to avoid ES6 being over-hyped is saying something on the line: “Uh, do you remember that Skyrim game we made decade ago? Well, we’re making a sequel… and it’s crap”
Not that they will succeed: people will be over-hyped anyway. But it’s something they can say and afterwards not being accused of over-hyping their game
Or they could just do a really good job?
At this point people expect the vastity of ES2 with plot density of Baldur’s Gate 3: good luck with that.
So, we’re talkin june 2029
There was a leak of bethesdas release schedule during the court hearings, which if you offset the dates due to covid, (starfield was originally taped for 2021) by 2 years, TES6 should be 2026 as the original target was 2024. That would put it as a late Xbox Series life release.
