    I’m not a CEO or anything but maybe they should try making an elder scrolls more than once every 20 years.

      But making games costs money. Corporations are supposed to make money for their shareholders, not spend it!

      Here’s my uninspired lame advise that will never happen: ZeniMax should close down Bethesda. Then they should contract the Crimson Dessert guys and hire a good writer to make the next Elder Scrolls game. Sure it‘s more expensive than doing it in house and it would take years but I think it‘s what players would want.

        nobody wants that they want skyrim again with a new story and world. why did fallout 4 get mixed reactions? not skyrim enough. why did starfield get mixed reactions? not skyrim enough.

        and the people who dont want skyrim again just want morrowind again

          I genuinely don‘t think Elder Scrolls fans would actually want just another Skyrim. They‘ve had over a dozen releases of that already. The devs definitely have to be better.

        Warhorse is working on a Lord of the Rings game. That’s probably more of what we want out of a new Elder Scrolls than the actual next Elder Scrolls.

          I have to say that Kingdom Come Deliverance wasn‘t for me. Too realistic. Too tedious. That‘s probably what makes it great for the fans but I do not think Elder Scrolls fans want inconvenience just because it‘s realistic. They‘re not the same fan base.

            Somehow I’ll bet they ditch realism for a Lord of the Rings game, particularly on default difficulty, and keep the very clear Elder Scrolls trappings that inspired their systems design.
