Cursed question. The only way we’re getting ES six is if all the Morrowskyblivion people do it themselves.

So basically never too, since those are being worked on forever with no finish in sight.

Skyblivion is slated for release sometime next year. They both released a progress video a couple months ago. Skywind is a little more dubious, there’s a different group of people working on it and I think they had to scrap a bunch of stuff at some point but it’s overall like 70%~ done, some parts like quest implementation are close to 90% done but there’s other areas that are seemingly moving at a glacial pace and it’s probably realistic to expect it all to take a few more years at least.

Go follow a waypoint

Go follow the main road towards the intersection, then head west. Continue on until you encounter a Cliff Racer cave, you would need to pass through the cave and exit at the ravine on the other side. Follow the ravine and watch your right for an overgrown passage. The passage will lead to an old bridge. Look for the road with three sign posts and follow the one pointing to south. Stay clear of Kagouti nests. Eventually you will reach a saloon, ask Breton warrior for further directions. But be warned, he will only be there at noon three days from now.

Yeah that’s a lot better than wandering aimlessly for hours among low poly mountains that look like dog turds. Or going to ask the dark elf NPC walking around like he shit his pants, and then he just says the same thing I’ve heard 3 different times from other NPCS.

Christ, that game aged poorly.

Nah. If I’m looking for actual hard core rpg gaming. I’ll play something like the baldurs gate series or early falllouts. The elder scrolls is a more pulpy and fun franchise to me.

I’ll be frank I don’t think morrowind has aged well, especially the visuals and combat. but the wikipedia NPCS don’t help it either.

I’ve played through it and was looking for the supposedly ‘amazing writing’ in the game the while time and then replied eventually that’s as good as it was going to get, and that games like the Witcher 3 had surpassed morrowind a long time ago.

I didn’t grow up with a nice enough computer to play morrowind (or an xbox) I grew up with the Snes, N64 and GameCube because nintendo consiles were cheap and family friendly. So I kind of missed that morrowind nostalgia train.

Eventually though, I got my first job at a local grocery store and paid for my own 360 and a copy of oblivion when I was 17 and that was fuckin amazing.

I did go back and try playing morrowind, but I just felt like it aged badly. It wasn’t for me. I don’t mind getting lost in a game, but vague directions and then getting lost and wandering past the same log that looks like a dog turd for hours is not my thing.

I do think it’s a good game and every elder scrolls fan should give it a shot (I did play through it once, even got full daedric without console commands or murdering that tel Vanni wizard guy) but it’s not the end all be all of rpgs like morrowind fanboys will claim. It just has not aged well.

That’s just me, its not my thing. I prefer Todd’s full vision games, rather than morrowind, which has the last vestiges of Julian lefays vision for the series in it.

I don’t mind that anyone prefers morrowind, just gate keeping in any sense gets old. Especially over toy video games

I just accept that everything I’ve enjoyed is done forever. If a good sequel emerges, dope, otherwise it’s on me find new stuff.

After they realized how badly Starfield shit the bed Todd made everyone wipe the hard drives and start from scratch.

I don’t think todd has a clue how bad starfield is and that speaks poorly of them being able to identify why their games currently suck.

Maybe the inherent nature of an elder scrolls title offsets the worst parts of starfield; need to be able to walk everywhere, fast travel as convenient rather than necessary part of the design. Combat will certainly continue to suck though, as they have only really spent the last ten years making shooters with melee combat only getting worse and worse.

But maybe they’ll just focus on making a cool rpg with lots of fun exploring and I’ll be wrong. That’s be nice.

I got in to a big argument with soimeone bout this. They were saying that Bethesda is learning from it’s mistakes in each subsequent game. I was arguing that Bethesda sometime’s recognizes mistakes they have made, and their response it to totally misunderstand why it was a mistake and make grand, new mistakes that both make the existing problem worse and add several new problems. to whit; Somehow the evolution of housing from Morrowind to Starfield resulted not in something like Sim Settlements, but the wretched system that Starfield shipped with.

Base fucking building is one of the major reasons i dislike both starfield and fallout 4, if i fucking wanted to play minecraft, i would go play minecraft.

It’s totally baffling to me that they brought back some sort of class system to Starfield, with it actually being a fixed set of backgrounds with specific history and experiences for your character, and absolutely no customization in making your own classes, but they still funnel every single background into doing asteroid mining physical labor, with no acknowledgement of why actual diplomats and professors are put in that position.

It’s like one part of the team heard that people wanted classes back and for your character to have real backgrounds, and then the other team made a Bethesda tutorial quest for the standard Bethesda no-name blank slate protagonist.

Bethesda never made super deep rpgs anyways. They’ve always been kind of baby’s first rpg company

I was mostly joking, I assume it’s going to be on the same trajectory as all of their games for the past decade that have been progressively more disappointing.

I think it may end up being more that every other project they had was starved of resources because Elder Scrolls is where the main action has been happening. They explicitly said years ago that Starfield was going to be their game that would release before the next Elder Scrolls.

That would be 2028. Pretty fair guess. That’s when Microsoft and Sony are supposed to release their next consoles too.

I almost guarantee Microsoft pushes ES6 as a reason to get their next gen Xbox

They’d have started working on it right after finishing (“finishing” ) starfield so I’d say at least another few years. Definitely before 2030 though.

Now, when will something release that deserves to be called Elder Scrolls? Probably never again. ESO has had like a couple expansions that are good and that’s it since Morrowind.

The very fact is scummy as hell and they don’t even care about outright lying to our faces, because after initial complete flop and outrage about Failout 76 they immediately show teaser of ES6 to placate the audience (BECAUSE ITS WHAT EVERYONE IS WAITING FOR BETHESDA FUCKERS) and soon after presented videos of being “worked on fully”. That was 5 years ago.
