Skyrim with actually good melee combat, much greater magic variety, companions who are smarter and not suicidal, horses who can move around with logical sense, more biome variety as much as I love what’s already there, factions that don’t end in you ruling all of them at once…
Turns out Skyrim gets a lot right but there are tons of things that could be much better.
I just wanted Skyrim where I could invite a few friends to come along for dungeons. Then they made Elder Scrolls Online as though that was at all the same thing.
That would indeed be pretty cool, I’d love to see if they go that route for TES 6. Clearly the FO76/ESO routes are not what that same customer base wants, for different reasons.
ESO is a fine MMO, but it’s absolutely an MMO and not a multiplayer TES game. FO76 is a skeleton of a Bethesda RPG but isn’t formatted at all how what the average Bethesda fan would want to play. It’s strange they went both of these routes before attempting what people have been asking for and even trying to make themselves for so long.
It’s a bit of a shame Starfield won’t include multiplayer either, but it’s hard for me to complain since I don’t have friends anyway.
Tell me you played 30 minutes of 76 on launch and never touched it again without telling me you played 30 minutes of 76 on launch and never touched it again
I actually have not even played it, but I’ve heard it’s been much improved, correct me if I’m wrong though it’s still different from literally Fallout 4 with other players. For example, are there multiple long faction storylines, large populated cities with many side quests, a few radio stations, caravans, morality or faction reputation, bobbleheads, basically every major and minor feature in a standard Bethesda Fallout.
If it’s been updated enough times and in the right directions to include all that stuff, then awesome. I was by no means saying it was a bad game, I just want to know if it’s seamlessly a Bethesda title through and through with other players or if it’s still Fallout in a different direction.
Are you able to enjoy the world privately with only players you choose without any DLC or microtransactions based restrictions on construction or storage, mod support so long as each player maintain the same modlist, etc.?
I played it recently and it is still a clunky half broken mess with friends. Setting up three camps was a pain and the one quest we tried to do failed to spawn the final objective except for the party leader, and none of the rest of us were able to complete it.
Yeah 76 is pretty rad and based now. There was an actual dialog I had with an NPC who wanted me to go find gold and I was telling them this unquenchable lust for money caused the whole damn apocalypse in the first place.
I played around 20 hours of it at launch, and it was bad. Not just in all the hilariously broken things that were memed all over the place back then, but the fundamental concept of the game just didn’t quite work.
I’d be happy with just Skyrim with better melee combat.

It’s a little bit of a hassle to set up, but Skyrim Together does work now and it’s great fun

My question is why is lockpicking so unresponsive. Fallout new Vegas and 4 handle it way better.
