I'm just hoping for an interesting world to explore, with some engaging, memorable quests. As far as gameplay mechanics go, I doubt there will be anything substantial that will evolve Bethesda's style.

Yeah I use AI to smooth out the workload. I'd rather be creating the cool stuff than optimizing boring stuff.

Also @AerisVahnEphelia are you wary of the backlash against your game when you disclose that it was engineered using AI?

How do you survive without a job? Genuinely curious.

That was a good MMO. I still play Runescape with friends haha.

What genre? I'm currently making a visual novel with a small team.

I know haha

There needs to be a drastic overhaul of Bethesda's trademark gameplay systems/mechanics for 6 to stand out in any meaningful way. Otherwise, it's more than likely just gonna be Skyrim in a different setting, with the visuals fidelity of Starfield. "As wide as an ocean; as deep as a puddle" - Bethesda

This is a great quote.

No word yet. Definitely still a few years off. I reckon we'll get a proper trailer next year.

Oh yeah Redguard. Forgot about that to be honest. Yeah that's set in Hammerfell. The Hammerfell glaze is real 🔨 f

Yeah Daggerfall was set in parts of Hammerfell and High Rock I believe. He's taking us on a collective trip down Toddverse memory lane.

Agreed. I always liked that Morrowind and Skyrim were named after the location. Oblivion was aptly named, because that game completely forgot to tap into the world/lore/culture of Cyrodill lol. Yeah a desert/Egyptian-esque biome is exciting, especially in the tracjetory of the series and the types of environments it has explored, deserts were the next logical step. Jungles, grasslands, swamps, and coastal beaches are also described as being part of Hammerfell so out of everything the game will offer, I'm sure it will be a stunning digital nature museum.

It is a generic title but to be fair, it's a kingdom in the province the game is set (Hammerfell) so at least there's a tie-in to the lore there. The content of this game likely will follow on from the poor storytelling, archaic game design and shallow writing of Fallout 4 and Starfield, so regardless of how interesting it is to see Hammerfell on paper (I'm sure it will be a visually stunning game and intriguing enough to explore the world they've crafted), the Bethesda bullshit will soon seep in. At this point, I am probably going to check it out in the same way I did with Fallout 4, like examining detritus through a microscope.

Famous last words.

Same here. YouTube isn't so bad when you consciously curate what the algorithm feeds you.

My reaction to The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel "trailer" hahaha

I prefer a mix of discipline and spontaneity in my day to day life. Rigid, structured, daily timetables make life feel robotic imo.

I've had Premium for years. I know people struggle with money, but if that site is part of your daily life, I think the asking price for Premium is reasonable for removing ads while still supporting creators you enjoy.

I used to find socializing exceptionally challenging, confusing & uncomfortable but when I took MDMA for the first time it was like something switched gears in my mind and ever since then I've been a social butterfly. Some have told me it's "masking perfected" but I genuinely think interfacing with hallucinogenics triggered something within me. I went from an awkward, confused, autistic-introvert to a healthy balance of introvert and extrovert in the space of a few years. The deep mystical experiences on psychs and in meditation were just a trigger point though, the actual work was all consciously enacted after these experiences had been integrated. I have not felt uncomfortable in a social setting in a long time, which is baffling considering how I was for most of my life. I couldn't hold, let alone start a conversation for a lot of my life, now communicating is effortless. Socialization really is a muscle that you can build. Nowadays, I'm more socially-skilled than my naturally extroverted friends. I have a lot of autistic mates who are older than me and struggle socializing and it's been rewarding to help them embody some healthy extroversion and develop self-esteem.

I thought so too. The options were over the top for a lot of them as well.

I think the main autistic thing about me is I like Sonic. That's a litmus test for the tism.

I'm not even proper introverted I'm probs an omnivert, depends what I'm feeling. I was never like that though as a kid and teenager. If you looked at a picture of me in school you'd immediately think "autist" based on my posture, expressions, mannerisms, interests, the way i spoke and what i spoke about and general social ineptitude. It's been so long since I was super autistic back in school so I can't remember much other than being hyper analytical and socially withdrawn. I never fit in that's all i remember for sure. When I started to get into psychedelics deeper my entire psyche switched up so I have no idea what's going on with me to be fair haha. I have been described as textbook autism my whole life that's one thing I know. I guess sometimes I can go into autistic mode but that's pretty rare. https://www.reddit.com/r/shrooms/comments/rh1swi/shrooms_cured_my_autism/ Interesting trip report where someone with aggressive autism worked through it with mushrooms. Obviously, goes without saying that being autistic can be very valuable and rewarding, when it's not debilitating.
