10 Brutally Honest Confessions Of A Bethesda Fan
2. What Will Be The Fate Of Elder Scrolls VI?
Among Starfield, I feel that The Elder Scrolls VI is my biggest worry in Bethesda titles.
It’s not so much that Bethesda needs a random guy to worry about them, especially not their sales, because I’m pretty sure Todd could expose his posterior at E3 2022 and Elder Scrolls VI would still sell a billion copies.
My point is: No matter what, you’ll still buy it. I’ll still buy it, even with the dated engine, bad blood and bugs, and why?
Because we don’t want to miss out.
Rockstar are a prime example of the, “Sell an event, not a video game” strategy, in that Grand Theft Auto doesn’t come out very often.
When it does, just like a Fallout or an Elder Scrolls, we all want to be able to experience it.
The big difference between Rockstar and Bethesda Softworks, however, is that they earn it through serious innovation and dedication that delivers a smooth experience. Bethesda earned the same by making comfy, passable role-playing games a decade ago that only got better because of nostalgia.
That’s why I worry for Elder Scrolls VI. I just don’t think the goodwill is going to carry them through a mediocre, bug-ridden RPG this time.
