It's the 30th anniversary of The Elder Scrolls: Arena, the game that started it all.

    Considering how buggy the release builds are I can’t believe they’re having that much fun.

      Forget the release builds. Bethesda full releases are usually buggy as hell. Fallout 3 and Skyrim on PS3 were nigh on unplayable at release.

        I don’t know why anybody downvoted you, but by release build I think we are talking about the same thing.

        My comment was basically I don’t buy Bethesda products until they’ve been on the market for at least a year because they’re so fucking buggy and I know they’re going to go on sale anyway.

    As much as I want this to be true, I’ll have a hard time not filing this under “GRR Martin and Patrick Rothfuss cowriting a new series” level of believing it will finish any time soon.

    And what are the odds it’s running on the zombie of Creation engine again? That was just delightful for Starfield.

      Starfield killed all my hype for Bethesda’s future releases. Every step forward comes with a dozen steps back.

      How long ago did Starfield come out, like 6+ months ago? And they’ve basically added an eat button back from previous games on the same engine, then left it to rot.

      I can’t believe they are already trying to market ES6 and DLC for Starfield without even fixing that trash game first.

          I partlially disagree because Skyrim was a fun game without mods. Mods gave it more replayability and elevated it to its iconic status today…but yeah, still a good game (at the time) without them!

          Nah, their earlier games had spirit. Oblivion is still one of my favorite open world fantasy games to date.

          Starfield is just a soulless recycled scrap for money and hype.

        I’m inclined to agree. I don’t hate starfield, I really don’t. It may be obvious to others, but I’ve been trying to nail down why. I think a big part of it is the space travel. If a mission isn’t confined to a planet- hopefully an interesting planet, then you find yourself hopping from planet to planet- which means loading screens every time you jump- which kills any momentum that I personally feel. Sure you had to load if you fast traveled in fallout or elder scrolls, but you COULD walk across the map of the whole game if you really wanted to
