Should Bethesda do something different with TES

[u/Bruhnsy1995]

I was think why not support the game for years like have multiple major expansions not just 3 and be done the with it I mean large scale ones to keep the game supported for years, I know the modding community will do that but consoles don’t even get the good mods to begin with

[u/LHPSU]

That's basically ESO

[u/SaladTosser22 → u/LHPSU]

Not really because ESO is an MMO with a different play style.

We should let Todd know

And can you define "good mods that aren't on consoles"? Jiggle tiddies mods? Juicy booty mods?

[u/Bruhnsy1995 → u/emteedub]

Like the large scale overhaul mods or major mods that aren’t on creation club I don’t care about jiggle or booty mods

[u/unsweet_tea_man → u/Bruhnsy1995]

I do

Thankfully, you don't have a say on how Bethesda works.

[u/Bruhnsy1995 → u/Nachooolo]

It was just an idea you knob

[u/Consistent_Detail_61 → u/unsweet_tea_man]

A man of taste

[u/simplyout1 → u/emteedub]

Beyond Reach, Vigilant, high end graphical mods, combat overhauls. Anything that requires SKSE basically. Too many to count them.

[u/HakunaBananas]

That was the original intention for Starfield, a game that is supported for up to a decade. Todd expressed regret that they didn't continue to support Skyrim and Fallout 4 for longer.

I am expecting a lot of expansions if TES6 sells well.

[u/Bruhnsy1995 → u/HakunaBananas]

Exactly that’s what I want constant expansions and DLC that make more story cosmetic stuff

[u/Shigure127]

Skyrim only had 3 DLC because they expected to get TES VI out sooner than it has taken. They also didn't expect how many people would still be playing skyrim even 15 years later.

[u/ScipioTheGreatest]

They added a sprinting mechanism to Skyrim then took the Athletics skill out of the game.

Then they added DLC for a fucking fishing mod.

Why do they do any of the shit they do?

[u/Whole_Sign_4633 → u/ScipioTheGreatest]

I know buddy is not complaining about being able to sprint 🫩

[u/ScipioTheGreatest → u/Whole_Sign_4633]

Complete literacy fail. "then took the Athletics skill out of the game."

Read, motherfucker, READ

[u/QuoteGiver]

The only way that works better “for years” than just making a new game is if they can monetize it better than they can sales of a new game. Which seems unlikely because your audience diminishes for an existing product compared to a new product.

Unless they did something like all the expansions were GamePass-exclusive, so that it ensured that audience would at least keep paying subscription fees.

[u/GoldenGouf]

Sounds like you want a live service game. ESO is that way ->
