Bethesda Commits To Single-Player, But "Be Patient" For Elder Scrolls 6, Bosses Say

"We've been talking about it for a decade, we started putting things on paper five, six years ago, and active development was from when we finished Fallout 4, so two and a half, three years," Howard told The Guardian. "Everyone should be very patient [for Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6]. It's gonna take a while for what we have in mind to come out."

"Games have gotten so big and interesting that they've moved beyond the toy/entertainment space," he said. "It's not just a diversion from their regular lives; for a lot of people it becomes an important part of their lives. I think we see that across a lot of games now, where people are getting joy and personal pride out of the time they spend in them ... Games are unique in that. They can put you in a place; they transport you. That's why we've always done big, open-world stuff: it's what a game does really well. We like technology, we like storytelling, we like art. But saying, 'Hey, look what we made the game do'--that is, on a day-to-day basis, on a week-to-week basis, the most rewarding."

All that means the company's long-term plans are pretty well set, which echoes what we've heard before. In June, Howard told us that he already knows the release date for Elder Scrolls 6, but that it would be "foolish" to say it now.

I thought it said ‘single payer’...

LOL! So did I, and was wondering what in the world that had to do with Elder Scrolls. Does your new health plan cover damage points? If you like your Healer, you can keep your Healer...

“How much of that list do you do?”

All and more.
You ought to try it instead of obsessing over a video game.

I think what would be cool is to be able to host my own local server for Fo76 that my friends can exclusively connect to.

I do many things. I’ll put my backpacking, hiking, camping and canoeing up against yours any day.

I’m 67 and only semi-retired.

Last year I moved a 1000 miles and bought a rural home and that keeps me very busy DOING upkeep and improvements.

In the last year I’ve travelled to Labrador, to Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Montreal and Quebec City, to places I’ve never been before.

I don’t watch TV

I have a set of golf clubs, that I may or may not ever use again.

I began playing video games in 1975 with Pong and I still enjoy them.
The ones I play are challenging and good for my mental acuity.
In the last year I’ve begun recording playthroughs, upgrading my recording equipment, learning how to edit and trying to produce quality content.
Who knows maybe I’ll even make a few dollars doing it but at this point I’m satisfied just enjoying what I’m doing and learning.

You do what makes you happy and I won’t belittle your decisions.
I’ll do my thing and please afford me the same courtesy.

Isn’t Freedom wonderful!

Have you tried RaceRoom? It’s got great graphics, and tons of classes and tracks including Nordeschlieffe and Bathurst. It’s on Steam.

"Have you tried RaceRoom?"

Yeah, I was in on the beta (one track, one car), but I was using a 2006 XP PC (still use it!). I debated whether to get a new gaming rig, or a whole new gig rig (guitar, amp, pedals, etc.). I went with the guitar. I'm getting old and too slow these days, LOL!

Would like to see the DTM's. R07 had a free DL of them and they were a blast to run.

I also manage a couple of FB pages.

https://www.facebook.com/NorthernSentinel

“Exploring Western Culture, History, and Philosophy; promoting Freedom and Individualism, identifying and preparing for the threats facing us”

I’ve also bought the Domain for that name and am slowly progressing to create a full website based on the same ideas. I want it to be a quality news, archive and resource center.

Also have a FB page that was bequeathed to me by a US serviceman who became too busy due to Afghan deployment to care for it...

https://www.facebook.com/Save-George-Zimmerman-from-racial-onslaught-111653988888547/

After the trial there were about 950 members and I pondered what I could do with the platform and ready made audience that would be positive and useful.
I changed the “about’ description to include,

...’examining racism in the larger societal context. Promoting Unity and mutual respect.

I post not only instances of racism but more importantly highlight the individuals and groups that are contributing positively to bringing folks together and rejecting division based on race.

In what part of Canada are you???

I used to hunt in Ontario quite a bit...

We’d bring our Plott Hounds up from Tennessee and hunt Haliburton Ont in the fall and Vermillion Bay Ont in the spring...Fished while we were there a lot also...

Y’all got bears up there like we got squirrels in Tennessee....

Hopefully they can bring back the true role playing elements and story lines that have been devolving since daggerfall and morrowind while keeping the stunning graphics of skyrim

I was in SW Ontario but moved in March of last year to New Brunswick.
Lots of wildlife here as well.

I started out by playing The Elder Scrolls Online Tamriel but stopped not too far in and stepped back to start The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion.
I’ll work through the games chronologically from there.
