Maybe they'll actually make something good instead of bazinga

[-] fox@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

Unlikely, but probably more money and less mandatory crunch

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

They just go back to making Morrowind expansions

[-] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Tamriel Rebuilt is exactly that but better.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

But it'd be funnier if the multi billion dollar company pivoted to developing stuff for a 20+ year old game

[-] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

they need to restore cut content for oblivion

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 32 points 1 month ago

Good

Hopefully they can push back against todd

Are there any labor people who have commented on whether this looks like an actual strong union or is it somek ind of yellow union?

[-] curmudgeonthefrog@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

It seems they organized with CWA, which is a real union. CWA has been organizing heavily in game dev and tech for years now. For example the Alphabet workers union is CWA and they've worked closely with the no tech for apartheid campaign which is awesome. How strong the Bethesda local will be will depend on how active their members are.

i dunno, man. maybe Elder Scrolls 6 might actually be worth playing now... when it comes out in 2030

maybe, maybe not. they seem to be on 6 year development schedule for their single player games

i would rather it release later if they actually managed to unfuck the writing and engine though

Their last ~~2~~ ~~3~~ all since Skyrim games turned out to be turds or uninteresting by premise, so it's right fucking time to go back to their main money maker to probably fuck it too. But they fucking need to make it, be it to continue the win or to drive it into ground, the limbo on ES is one of the worst things ever in gaming imo.

First, they won't, it's bethesda. Starfield cleraly demonstrate that the can take all the time in universe and not improve basically anything. Also, that entire "release it later so it can be polished" is nonsense, entire game industry proven it time and time again.

Skyrim

it was trash too, actually. Morrowind was the last good one, which is fitting since it's the first of that style of Bethesda games.

let me dream that they decide to care again, goddamnit negative

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 month ago

No

[-] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Too many boomers in this thread. Oblivion and Skyrim are fun

[-] rando895@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 month ago

I think they are fun lol.

But Skyrim needs a new civil war mod. One where the people take power from the jarls. Call it, I dunno, "Civil war: the red army uprising".

[-] Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Terrible writing, terrible mechanics (which, really, applies to both Morrowind and Oblivion, to be fair). Nothing notable about it.

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Daedra quests and Dwemer ruins; Skyrim is (without any corrupting mods!) utter perfection

[-] bigboopballs@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Morrowind was the last good one

fuckin right.

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I enjoy having my Roleplaying games to have roleplaying mechanics without having to find 300 mods to get them, wild i know.

Morrowind

although...Daggerfall, my beloved. thinking-about-it

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

99% of Skyrim mods are dogshit and a waste of time

The updated vanilla game is a cornucopia of role-playing potential, embrace the contradictions of minimalism and imperfection

[-] bigboopballs@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

I never got around to finishing the main quest in Daggerfall. I should do that some day.

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

It's deliciously mixed into feudal politics and i adore it

[-] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Their last 2 3 all since Skyrim games turned out to be turds or uninteresting by premise

FO76 is decent if you're playing with friends. The story sucks but the game itself is fun to just fuck around in the fallout world with other people.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Yes, being online is main reason why it sucks, rest of it are just consequences.
