As long as they have mud crabs, I'll be OK.

All is well.

I... now want Crab Armor... for my mudcrabs. All of them!

This whole subject makes me want to play Skyrim again... Like it does with just about any other Skyrim fan.

Yet, when playing on the PC, I always get distracted by shiny new mods... Then, I get distracted by trying to make them work. Then, I get distracted by another shiny new mod and trying to make it work. Then I get distracted by making a mod and trying to make it work. Then, I play until I break the game because a mod wasn't working like I thought it would. I spend more time looking at modloaders and incorporating utilities and grapihcs enhancements than playing the darn game. (Since I broke the literal F out of my last saves over a year ago, I haven't touched the game. Not my fault! Srsly... probably.)[....]

I do exactly the same. I think I have around 300-400 hours of Skyrim on Steam. 80% of those were spend testing out mods and trying to fix a broken game. My current load order is stable at around 160 mods and I am not gonna touch it with a ten foot pole. The interesting part though is how big the skyrim folder got, it now sits at around 95GBs.

If we can have private servers I'm in. If we can't I have no interest.

Same here, but only if it manages to somehow be at least as interesting as playing on a private server with friends on Ark. If most of the content revolves around needing those "Dozens" of random players for people to fight and lacks enough ambient danger and things to do to be interesting alone or with a small group of friends then it's pretty pointless, and I wont bother buying it.

...Look great, and have the gameplay I want too. The only skeptical point is this developer have a traditional of screwing up the entry tittle of a series very badly ... kinda like Window. Hope it won't be the case this time.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms satisfied a lot of players looking for that period. Unfortunately, its English localization suffers. That, coupled with the Total War:Shogun series, reduced the market for "Far Eastern" Total War games.

I'll have to reserve judgement on this release, simply because we don't know wtf is going to come out of it. It could spontaneously combust on Day One, with fifty darn Day One DLC packs and units that have no attack animations at all or never use their secondary weapon or have no ammo or who run backwards or... /sigh

I am curious as to what DLC they're planning for this. A Fourth Kingdom?

To be fair, I used to be pretty good at playing "Using Modding Tools to Debug LoadOrder and Mod Issues Ver Mk1 WTFBroke." After awhile, I modded fairly confidently. It's only when I've been away from the game for a certain amount of time that, upon return, everything goes to pot...

I LOVE the fact that these games have a wonderful history of being moddable, just not how difficult it can be.

While everybody here ist still excited about Skyrim... what is it with Skyrim?

I am personally looking forward now to "Fire Emblem - Three Houses", "Rabbid Kingdom Battle - Donkey Kong" and maybe "ARK" idk looks interesting.

With the many special editions which are released over time, Bethesda manages to win new groups of customers and almost constantly draws new players into their franchise. That way Skyrim always remains a (hot) topic.

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure most of the stuffs people saying here is just meming the game. I'm on the same boat though, haven't played Skyrim for over a year now, but never removed it, simply because I don't want to go through all that trouble organizing the mods folder again.

And now we have an opportunity to repeat all of that with next iteration, of course we're excited.

Skyrim just became available for the first time to anyone that has been a strictly Nintendo fan or console owner for the past decade, whether it be Handheld gaming or simply Nintendo console favoritism I imagine there are plenty of people out there that now own a Switch that never had an Xbox or Playstation or even PC, that can now play Skyrim. Not to mention the fans that did, and have been playing Skyrim, but can now take it with them when they travel.

Of course with the VR fad re-emerging the last few years plenty of people with VR headsets also lack quality games to play with it so Skyrim happens to be probably the most content packed game they'll ever own for VR as well.

So that explains why SOME people are still excited about the many new ways to play Skyrim, but also why Bethesda has been getting so much crap for it that even they had to crack a joke about it at E3 with their "Very Special Edition".

- it's not just Skyrim itself, it's more to do with the Elder Scrolls saga - huge story-line..

PS Ark's a riot in single-player mode, once you start messing with console commands..
- I'm leading a squadron of huge eagles, at the moment - ha, ha!!

It seems the game is not actually in full development mode yet. And Beth said it'll definitely come out after that other new IP they're cooking. So probably not 2020 but more like 2022-2023 maybe?

The real question now will be which one gonna come out first: TESVI or Bannerlord.

Bannerlord is the new Duke Nukem Forever/Halflife 3

I stopped caring years ago, if it ever comes out I'll be pleasantly surprised but I'm not going to bother keeping up with any information on a game that probably should have had more developmental support by this point if they're struggling this much.

In fact I feel like by the time Bannerlord comes out, its game play and mechanics will be old news and it wont garner the attention it once would have. Much like Duke Nukem suffered for being from another time period where its absurdity and game play was more acceptable.

Also, Yes Todd said ES6 is coming AFTER Starfield, and Starfield is a "Next Gen" game so it's not coming out until the next generation consoles release, and according to Sony they are expecting sales to continue to decline while they focus on their subscription based incomes until later 2021 which is now considered the likely launch window of PS5 (and more than likely the next Xbox)
