Unpopular opinion:

Witcher 4 won’t be as good as Witcher 3 cause the third one was very good.

So no matter who they chose, it’s probably gonna be underwhelming.

This is why we'll never see elder scrolls 6

Eh, I didn't like Skyrim as much as Morrowind, so I think there's some room for ES6 to improve on ES5.

[–] Jtskywalker@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Morrowind is the best. Oblivion remaster is better than skyrim (in my Morrowboomer opinion) and that was just refreshing a 20 year old game. I feel like there is a lot of hype for TES6 that it may not live up to, but surpassing skyrim is definitely doable.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

Honestly TES6 has one thing going for it and that's that Skyrim is over a decade old now so matching the scale and scope of Skyrim is much more achievable.

In my opinion when a sequel falls flat or is outshined by an earlier entry in the series, it's usually because the studio messed with the formula for the gameplay, not because of a change in characters

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Oblivion and Skyrim were both massive disappointments to me.

If ES 6 comes out, it’ll have maybe three skills - magic/combat/sneak. Any interesting/complicated lore will be retconned and shoved aside. (Why wasn’t Cyrodil a jungle? Where are my river drakes? What happened to Sutch? Where is my Colovian armor set?)

But it's being made by the Bethesda that made Starfield. It's going to have a terminal case of Emil.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He apparently worked on Oblivion (and Skyrim), so there's a chance. He took a chance on Starfield and failed, so hopefully he learns from that instead of doubling down.

[–] MS06Borjarnon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but I don't have a ton of faith in him, especially given that one whiny twitter thread he made.
