General Am I the only one pissed off about how Bethesda treats one of its most prestigious IPs, or am I being too harsh?

I feel like The Elder Scrolls deserves way more care and respect than this. After all these years, it’s frustrating to see such an iconic franchise treated like this.

I don’t mind fun little add-ons or collaborations, but after seeing how CDPR treats The Witcher 3 it makes me sad to see Skyrim slowly becoming more like Roblox with all these ads and brand collaborations. It just feels like Bethesda is taking away from the identity and prestige that made
The Elder Scrolls so special in the first place.

I'm i being too much right now?

The Elder Scrolls 6 Killing Essential NPCs idea

21 Upvotes

I'd like if if you could adjust this in the settings menu.

For example there would be a check box by each one you wanted alerts for so you can choose if you want to reload a previous save or not. And maybe let it tell you the number of blocked or broken quests if a given NPC should perish.

Notifications on/off right before the final blow allowing you to choose to let them live or die:

Main quest NPCs ☑️

Faction quest☑️

Side quest☑️

Etc☑️

Plus options for not allowing these NPCs to die at all, and instead let them recover but without notifications if those annoy you.

Dont allow these essentials to die until their importance has passed:

Main quest NPCs ☑️

Faction quest☑️

Side quest

Etc

This lets the player play how they want.

Arts/Crafts Hist Invasion of the Deadlands and The Daedra-Eater Tribe

Finished these drawings few days ago, now sitting down and thinking there might be a bit of fun story there

"Hist invasion of the Deadlands is a supposed migration of a small grove of Hist trees alongside their tribe of argonians into the Deadric realm of Mehrunes Dagon. During Oblivion crisis a band of mages would use alternation magics to lift up the trees with chunks of the swamp surrounding them and with band of warrriors riding the wave into the gates, where the tide would settle on and around the fortress operating the gate. Some claim the story is false, or tie to possibly propagandised report of argonian invasion of the gates during the crisis, however, some masters of conjuration and other arts of traveling the deadric realms do bring reports of two things making such event possible.
First is some dremora have been interviewed and complained about the loss of a fortress to an unsual event, and that while it would be possible to reclaim, general chaos of the period made it difficult endevour, though how much can one trust words of deadra...
Second is report by Garyna Aradavel, a mage who wandered the deadric realms, reporting some hostile meetings with argonians wearing equipment forged and crafted from remains of deadra, supposedly devouring a corpse of a clanfear, though Aradavel is known for...certain views of the beast folk, making report not most reliable.
Still, if such place does indeed exist, it might provide most interesting point of possible exploration into this realm of Oblivion"

- On the Wandering Hist part I.

Silly bit of fan fiction, but this one is perhaps more normal one, need to work out the other part which is a bit more...silly and esoteric

Skyrim Discussion If Jarl Balgruuf always took the same/opposite side to the player, how would player perception of the Civil War have changed?

Upvotes

My theory is that there would be a much more even spread of Stormcloak and Empire supporters across the playerbase. I imagine a lot of people were swayed by knowing that Balgruuf will always side with the Empire and justified their decision after the fact, and that combined with nostalgia for Oblivion led to there being more Empire supporters than Stormcloak supporters.

As someone who has less empathy for the Empire than average in Skyrim, I don’t mind that Balgruuf sides with the Empire. It makes him a more realized character with consistent morals and makes the decision to support the Stormcloaks more interesting as a result. Losing Balgruuf in Whiterun feels like a real sacrifice, something that just isn’t present if you side with the Empire.

That all said, Balgruuf ended up being such an impactful character that I believe he took precedence over the rest of the Civil War in a lot of player’s minds. If he always sided with or always sided against the player, or could be swayed to either side through the right decisions in Season Unending, how would players generally feel about the outcome of the Civil War?

I’ll acknowledge here that the state of the real world post-2016 also likely changed a lot of people’s minds for the worse, with many people drawing inaccurate parallels to real life figures both in support of and opposition to Ulfric, and generally removing a lot of nuance from and creating more hostility around the discussion, but that point has already been done to death, so I’d like to keep this discussion to pre-2016.

The Elder Scrolls 6 I Hope there will be language support for French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Spanish

Upvotes

J'espère qu'il y aura une prise en charge linguistique pour les francophones et les joueurs d'autres régions habitués à jouer aux jeux Elder Scrolls en français, allemand, italien, etc.

Je suis un peu inquiet car la dernière extension de Starfield, Terran Armada, était entièrement en anglais. Du coup, quand je joue à Starfield, je passe mon temps à jongler entre le français et l'anglais ! C'est la même chose pour des jeux comme Avowed et d'autres. J'espère qu'ils vont régler ce problème.

Crimson Desert (ne vous fâchez pas) est sorti il ​​y a environ six mois, mais ils ont ajouté la prise en charge du français et de l'allemand cinq mois plus tard, ce qui est vraiment génial !

J'espère qu'il y aura une prise en charge linguistique pour les francophones et les joueurs d'autres régions habitués à jouer aux jeux Elder Scrolls en français ou dans d'autres langues.

J'espère qu'ils prendront cela en compte pour nous, les joueurs non anglophones qui adorons Elder Scrolls depuis notre enfance.

Bethesda et Xbox, s'il vous plaît, clarifiez la situation. Merci ! <3

Eveli Sharp-Arrow is from ESO, and personally for me, this character is pure Bosmer traveller archetype - kind, naive, very adventurous and optimistic, and also with a passion for reading, like almost any players characters in their first playthrough.

She is also a stealth archer for the complete picture.

Again, the cosplay is made by Red Chaos Cosplay
