Iā€™d be down for scrapping StarField DLC and just moving right along to ES.

They've already sold it to people via the limited edition last year, they sadly can't back out now.

Their game engine can't keep up though. They need to build a new 1 rather than trying to upgrade it. Hopefully they're doing that for the next ES. On top of that, they need some decent writers as oblivion and fallout 3 were so much more captivating than skyrim / fallout 4. In my option obviously but if you take the dark brotherhood quest line in oblivion for instance, it was mind blowingly good. As was the thieves guild and plenty of other quest lines. Skyrim in comparison was just going through the motions compared.

Their writing has been awwwwful for a long time.

Currently playing through Fallout 3 again and I'm having trouble finding that decent writing you're talking about.

Fair enough. Each to their own all that but it may well become apparent when you then play fallout 4. Also, when I say writing, I guess I also mean story lines but fair play, I did not make that clear.

They could have just scrapped Starfield. Literally dropped and disappeared, people are way more hyped (rightfully so) for a 9yo game.

Speak for yourself my guy, I'd been excited for Starfield since the first rumors of it years and years ago.

I do wish they'd pick up the damn pace on their game development though, I'm probably gonna be 45 by the time FO5 comes out.

Regardless of how Starfield turned out, I'm glad that they spent the time to create a new world and IP. To me, that's a better use of their time than just cycling back and forth between the same two franchises for eternity.

And I love Elder Scrolls and don't even like Starfield.
