Elder Scrolls 6: 10 Ways To Make The Perfect Sequel
5. TRY And Cut Down On The Jank
Bethesda
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.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
