Where the hell is Bethesda?

Skyrim is going to be 4 this year. 4 years after Oblivion we knew Bethesda was at least doing something.

Has anyone heard anything?

I can't play Oblivion, Skyrim or the FO games anymore because I've played them so much that they're not fun anymore.

This shit is getting George RR Martin ridiculous.

The only things out there right now are rumors, anon. Relax. Four or five years is pretty normal for TES, like you said. We'll get something soon-ish.

Bethesda is Valve now, they're too busy making shekels selling other people's games to make their own

I played Morrowind on xbox back in 2005.

Looking back, I think the overall satisfaction I got from Morrowind then was the highest of the big ES games.

My computer is too shitty to support the mods that update Morrowind, and by now the factory graphics are just too dated. Very frustrating.

 No.5017

>>5015
To be fair; the biggest letdown morrowind has graphic wise are related to Creatures, Characters and armors/clothing.

I honestly don't think you'd need to overhaul world and object textures and meshes, they're perfectly fine the way they are

I saw a "watercolour" texture the other day that makes things look stylized enough that even vanilla meshes Fucking fit, i seriously recomend that.

I legitimately tried giving Morrowind an honest go, the graphics simply suck too much. Yes mods can make the environment look ok, but the character models are so stupefyingly bad even for a 2000 game I simply can't take that game seriously. I forced myself to play that game for total of about 10 hours until I just called it quits.

Just imagine how big this release is going to be, considering that Skyrim literally was the one to put the series on a big spotlight like no other with backup from the success of FO3 and NV, i'm assuming that the YT trailer alone is going to be huge on the views very fast and the hype train is going to do nothing but get stronger from there.

That's actually an interesting point. Also the next Elder Scrolls game may directly connect to Skyrim because of the Thalmor plot. If that's the case they may want to get it out sooner.

I played Arena and Daggerfall for the first time this year and I still enjoyed the visuals. In fact, the overall visuals of those games are much more pleasing that the brown and grey bloom shit of Skyrim.

You've gotta be joking. Let me guess you bitch about chance to hit too?

Fuckin' s'wits man.

Each of the first three games has its strengths.

Arena has a very large scope, dedicated to just a basic 'save the kingdom' plot because they were introducing the world. It also didn't have such a blatant furry pandering.

Daggerfall has a huge environment and is very well drawn. Sure there are some issues, such as dungeon maps, and the general balancing of the game i.e. ebony dagger at level 1 but its still a comfy game.

Morrowind has a very narrow scope, but is very detailed. The main quest, padding section aside, leaves a lot up to you. It still feels pretty large even with the limitations of full 3D. Also very unique architecture all around. This is my personal favorite too :^)*

People are assuming that Bethesda's busy making Fallout 4, but nobody knows for sure. It's perfectly possible that they are, but I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if they pass on it for now to focus on their bigger cash cow. Either way, I'll be happy, provided the games aren't shit, of course.

I have a bad feeling Bethesda is going full-all corporate, with ESO for consoles being the big piss-taking.

I have this terrible feeling that we're never going to see another Fallout or proper Elder Scrolls.
