Skyrim lead designer says it will be 'almost impossible' for Elder Scrolls 6 to meet fan expectations: 'Marketing departments just put their heads in their hands and weep'

Bruce Nesmith, who left Bethesda in 2021, knows a thing or two about rising expectations.
You're viewing a single thread.
Thank God they lowered the expectations after Starfield.
I know I'm in the minority, but I fucking love Starfield.
It's a galactic scale zen garden when I need peace.
It's a shooter/space combat sim when I choose violence.
There's things that aren't good about it, it needs so many more factions, followers, and NPC interaction points to fill the fish bowl that's there, but there's so much to love too, IMHO.
In a time where MOST major studio games have turned to no effort live service dogshit, I think hating on flawed but grand games like Starfield as just more unsalvagable garbage is just an invitation to studios to keep churning out actual garbage like Suicide Squad since there's no pleasing modern gamers so don't bother trying, just lean entirely on an IPs nostalgia.
So happy for you! I think it's a fine game with great highs, but it is a different game when compared to Skyrim obviously, which makes one wonder how ES6 would be.
Edit: fixed the ?. I was genuinely happy for you
You make it sound as if I'm the one that brought Starfield up out of nowhere in relation to Skyrim/TE6.
No wait. That "?" was a typo. I genuinely meant I'm happy for you.
Ah thank you for the clarification! Sorry socials can be hostile places didn't mean to take that the most hostile way.
Yeah. It was my bad.
That's awesome but on paper I still think it's objectively bad. I got the game for free with my CPU and still feel like I got burned some how. There's no world where I see myself ever finishing that game.
Yeah, I was gonna say. I'm sure it'll meet my expectations, and I'll be disappointed.
And Fallout 76, and in some sense, Fallout 4
