Elder Scrolls 6: 10 Ways To Make The Perfect Sequel

5. TRY And Cut Down On The Jank

The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim

Expecting Bethesda to cut down on the bugs and glitches in their games is... well, it's just not going to happen, isn't it?

So long as the studio utilise the Creation Engine for their titles, fans can expect all sorts of weird bugs and glitches to come up at some point or another. One could argue that's all part of the charm, but tell that to the folks tearing their hair out trying to play Fallout 76 - it just doesn't slide these days.

Patience has been wearing thin for Bethesda's hijinks for the past few years now, and you can only hope the studio have taken that onboard for the next Elder Scrolls.

Skyrim's glitches never took away from the experience (unless you were unfortunate enough to slum your way through the PlayStation 3 version), but that little bit of polish is vital going into the next gen. Without it, the game could look all kinds of dated, which isn't really good for something that should be built to last.
