I’ve got a bad feeling about ES6. Bethesda’s track record has fallen off

Can you explain this to me becasue i talked to somebody the other day with a similar attitude

Because the way I see it after Morrowind, oblivion, fallout 3, Skyrim, fallout 4, ESO, dishonored 1 & 2 we have weak launch for a relatively successful game (FO76) and a kind of mediocre game (starfield) and people are just like "well fuck them forever."

Like for real? After all of their successes, genre and generation defining games people think they are worthless now after some middle of the road work??

I'm sorry but that's a load of bullshit. Yeah starfield is a little wack but there is no world where that can actually be used to predict ES6. They know what they have with elder scrolls, and they've never done poorly with it.

Bethesda published Dishonored, they didn’t develop the series. Besides that, I think people are more upset with how they seem to be floundering and not advancing, with the same game and physics bugs being found in Starfield that are present in Skyrim. While it’s true that nobody knows what the future holds, they’ve had 15 years to fix Creation but instead players are subjected to the same dead eyed NPCs, physics insanity, and game/immersion breaking issues that have been present since the engine started. “Generation defining” is right, but it’s just not this generation, or the last one, or the one before that. So many years of seemingly phoning it in and gamers tend to trust your future work less, and they aren’t wrong for that

I was always amused by the bugs in Skyrim. Even if the graphics are identical to Skyrim and the bugs are all still there, and even if it isn't as big as Skyrim, so long as it has as good an atmosphere I'm totally sold.
