The next console I’m getting is a ps5 digital edition, point blank period, regardless of what goes on with Bethesda games. Still, I would hate to miss out on one of my favorite series of all time due to it being an Xbox and game pass exclusive. If I have to miss out on it for awhile, I’ll miss out on it, I hope that’s not the case though. I honestly hate exclusives, they’re anti-consumer as shit tired of Stone Age practices like ‘exclusives’. Not everyone out here can afford to buy multiple fuckin expensive ass consoles
Anyways, enough of my rambling What do you guys think will happen? I have a feeling they will end up being exclusive, but I can’t 100% say
Are we so sure they are really working on an ES6 and not focusing on some way to resell Skyrim for the 7th time? Honestly I just checked some articles about this and it seems like our generation will have been conscripted into the Water Wars before TES6 exclusivity is something we have to worry about. Either way, your body of text indicates to me that you have already decided on your move, so I will post this Kahlil Gibran quote that provided me with solace when I was trying to make a decision about a relationship in college:
ES6 is in very very early production at best at this point. They've always said that they were gonna do Starfield before they started doing more than pre-production for ES6, and it's very unclear when Starfield is gonna come out. If it comes out this year, which some believe is possible, then ES6 has probably just started actual production. We definitely will see a version of Skyrim for PS5/XBSX before ES6 comes out though, but I do believe they're actually going to make it. It'd make more than enough money that the corporate marketing bits of the company would be for it, and the higher-ups on the Dev teams like Todd (who gets too much shit for stuff that's not his fault because he's the face of the company, imo) do genuinely give a shit about the series.
Did I already talk to you about what you think will happen with Elder Scrolls and Fallout? If I’ didn’t, what do you feel will happen, timed exclusive full exclusive or what?
Almost certainly some kind of exclusivity, TES and Fallout are way too big of gets for Microsoft to not do that. They're still gonna release them on PC no matter what, and I lean towards timed exclusivity before it ends up on Playstation, but they could just straight up not release at all them on Playstations too. No real way to tell as of yet.
I didn’t ask for advice though. I asked what people thought. You would have a point if I was asking which console to get.
Don’t know why people post this kind of stuff towards people
Huh? It wasn't supposed to be aggressive towards you (maybe Bethesda, yes). It seemed like you were soul searching for encouragement to go through with your decision. I wasn't kidding when I said that quote helped give me the confidence understand that by asking for advice, I was really looking for "permission", and helped me to go through with a tough choice I was facing at the time. I thought it would help give you confidence to pull the trigger TBH.
