Bethesda could take notes from Baldur's Gate 3 on how to make new RPGs like The Elder Scrolls 6 "meaningful," says Skyrim lead: "The gaming community has spoken"

Players want games "where their actions feel like they have impact"

GamesRadar

Skyrim lead says the $100 videogame may not be the best idea: 'I personally think game developers would be wise to not push the prices higher, but gamers are a special breed... they will pay for what they want'

"I don't think players look at the hours of experience per price of the title once it gets past a certain number."

PC Gamer

Skyrim lead designer says the next Elder Scrolls should look at how Baldur’s Gate 3 made things ‘meaningful,’ because ‘the gaming community has spoken’

"Bethesda games have maybe pulled back from doing that a little bit."

PC Gamer

Bethesda veteran says less RPG complexity in the Elder Scrolls series is good, actually: 'We got rid of attributes in Skyrim and you know who complained? Almost nobody'

“I led the charge on that, to be frank.”

'Do they really need marketing for Elder Scrolls 6?' Skyrim lead designer says Bethesda probably won't make a TV show for The Elder Scrolls because it's already making 'literally billions of dollars'

"What you're going to make by licensing the IP to this TV show is just peanuts."

PC Gamer

Skyrim lead praises Todd Howard for trying 'desperately' not to micromanage and be a ‘bottleneck’, even though he still 'does what he calls seagulling where he swoops in and changes things'

"He tries desperately not to."

Fallout works as a TV show because it's "unique," says Skyrim lead – but Bethesda's other RPG series might not: "Do they really need marketing for Elder Scrolls 6?"

"There is nothing like the Fallout universe anywhere else"

PC Gamer

Skyrim's lead designer thinks Bethesda should stick to its in-house engine: 'The benefits that you get from switching to Unreal Engine are probably not going to materialise until two titles down the road'

According to Bruce Nesmith, the huge disruption of such a switch would outweigh any potential upsides.

"Go back and play Morrowind and tell me that's the game you want to play again," says Skyrim lead, who thinks players "will cringe" at a possible remake

The Bethesda veteran doubts the original source code still exists, anyway

PC Gamer

Skyrim's design lead says if you play Morrowind today, you will 'cringe': 'The reality of playing Morrowind would not stand the test of time'

Sure, whatever you say. Let's do a Daggerfall remake instead.
