    Maybe they’ll actually make something good instead of bazinga

      Unlikely, but probably more money and less mandatory crunch

          But it’d be funnier if the multi billion dollar company pivoted to developing stuff for a 20+ year old game

    Are there any labor people who have commented on whether this looks like an actual strong union or is it somek ind of yellow union?

      It seems they organized with CWA, which is a real union. CWA has been organizing heavily in game dev and tech for years now. For example the Alphabet workers union is CWA and they’ve worked closely with the no tech for apartheid campaign which is awesome. How strong the Bethesda local will be will depend on how active their members are.

        maybe, maybe not. they seem to be on 6 year development schedule for their single player games

        i would rather it release later if they actually managed to unfuck the writing and engine though

          Their last 2 3 all since Skyrim games turned out to be turds or uninteresting by premise, so it’s right fucking time to go back to their main money maker to probably fuck it too. But they fucking need to make it, be it to continue the win or to drive it into ground, the limbo on ES is one of the worst things ever in gaming imo.

          i would rather it release later if they actually managed to unfuck the writing and engine though

          First, they won’t, it’s bethesda. Starfield cleraly demonstrate that the can take all the time in universe and not improve basically anything. Also, that entire “release it later so it can be polished” is nonsense, entire game industry proven it time and time again.

            Skyrim

            it was trash too, actually. Morrowind was the last good one, which is fitting since it’s the first of that style of Bethesda games.

            First, they won’t, it’s bethesda.

            let me dream that they decide to care again, goddamnit negative

                I enjoy having my Roleplaying games to have roleplaying mechanics without having to find 300 mods to get them, wild i know.

                Morrowind

                although…Daggerfall, my beloved. thinking-about-it

                  99% of Skyrim mods are dogshit and a waste of time

                  The updated vanilla game is a cornucopia of role-playing potential, embrace the contradictions of minimalism and imperfection

                  I think they are fun lol.

                  But Skyrim needs a new civil war mod. One where the people take power from the jarls. Call it, I dunno, “Civil war: the red army uprising”.

                Terrible writing, terrible mechanics (which, really, applies to both Morrowind and Oblivion, to be fair). Nothing notable about it.

            FO76 is decent if you’re playing with friends. The story sucks but the game itself is fun to just fuck around in the fallout world with other people.
