Todd Howard recently saying that Elder Scrolls 6 is still in pre-production "design phase" is pretty surprising considering it's been already 10 years since Skyrim, a game that sold over 35 million copies. most devs would have pumped out at least two sequels by now. with ES6 we probably won't even see gameplay until 2024 at the earliest, which is insane.

is the fact that Bethesda is taking their sweet time with a proper follow-up smart or dumb on their part? I mean, they left a lot of money on the table by doing so, and the Elder Scrolls name brand may lose clout among gamers because of the ridiculously wide gaps between releases.
elder scrolls online has come out since then and is doing big things but other than that you right tho. Again if we don't count es online

If Bethesda cared about leaving money on the table, they wouldn't have went console exclusive to the least popular console where their games will be given away for free.

When were those ever big name titles besides maybe dishonored? You naming these B-Level games

doesn’t matter…he was in love with dishonored 2 so doesn’t make sense for him to try and say that as a knock against it…it was still clearly a great game lol

I’d actaully encourage you to play dishonored 2, its one of the best last gen games.

Dishonored 2 is is probably in my top 5 of last gen games.
