Can Bethesda even dumb their games down anymore?

Can Bethesda even dumb their games down anymore?
What else is left to actually remove in Elder Scrolls VI?

Stamina and mana
Skills
All races beside imperial and redguard

Skyrim didn't have skills, though.

>shared stamina and mana "energy" under the guise of supporting hybridization
>no more item rewards for quests, just gold like f4
>no racial stats or abilities

Merge some skills like stealth+pickpocket enchantment+alchemy, leave only 3 magic schools: restoration, destruction and conjuring (aka utility). Remove race passives.

It will be a mobile game with a single button that just agrees with everybody you talk with
you will have the option to teleport to every fetch quest object, and teleport back
And if you pre order you have the ability to skip the main campaign and just kill the last boss one hit, and he spits out a tl;dr of what happened

>implying you need an entire school for healing
nah man add that shit to utility. Bam. No need to overload the player
Hire me Todd

It did?

Add a voiced protagonist.
Use that as justification to cut non human sounding races.

>reset skill/perk point when ever you want
>dialogue with be yes or tell me more, you walk away if you don't want to talk anymore
>items don't have weight, carry everything
>you can't die, you just go into a "down stage" and will recover after a few seconds with full hp

Who says we need separate branches of magic.
Who says we need separate branches of melee
It's just Warrior, Mage, Thief now. You can only pick one.

>complete flat map

No more trudging uphill!

>Daily quest popups

No more wandering around looking for npcs!

You're thinking of attributes, skyrim had skills just less than any other TES game before it.

Skills
Differences in weapons, so maces/axes/swords are essentially skins without even their token differences.
Armour is no longer light or heavy, just Armour.
Weapons/armour can no longer be player made or improved.

So many ways

Fable 2 did all of this shit. Now the series is dead.

Armour can't be equipped as items anymore, rather it's a pickup that degrades a la early Doom

All races beside imperial

shiiit you are good. I raise you one and say there are no classes period. All skills are unlocked as you level up so you can change your playstyle on the fly.

All attacks and blocks are now automatic. Click "attack enemy", and watch.

You can manage the skill cooldowns

>You can only pick one.
This is a bethesda game user. We don't wont anybody missing out on any quality content, they have to be able to be all three. It's not like they can just play the game multiple times or anything.

>bring back stats
>bring back athletics\acrobatics
>add spears, flails, halberds, katanas, melee staves, knuckles, separate long bow\short bow\crossbow into 3 different types
>emphasize on blunt\slash\thrust damage with every weapon type having different unique proportions of each damage type
>improve speech skill with better writing and more skill checks with different outcomes
>bring back npc reaction to pc's gear
>bring back spellcrafting
>bring back gear system from morrowind
>fewer handcrafted dungeons instead of a ton of copypasted ones

But more importantly
>scrap gamebryo

And I will fucking pre-order the maximum deluxe special legendary edition you motherfuckers

This one is actually likely to happen.

Weapons are only stat buffs. All attacks are from perks your melee, stealth, and magic tree.

They use the creation engine now, not gamebryo

WE RECORDED TEN THOUSAND NAMES SO ONE NPC IN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF THE GAME SAYS YOUR NAME!!!!!! PRE ORDER NOW

>He hasnt played eso

*Loud autistical lafni*
BOOOOI

Which is based on gamebryo. In fact it's probably just a heavily modified gamebryo.

Nah, they'll just trot out one perfunctory line if your one of the less human races. like 'Wow you must have been raised by Imperials, I can't notice your accent at all!'

I fucking wish they would make bandits/fiends not fucking attack you on sight all the time. It's so fucking stupid that they just go after you instead of having any bits of dialogue.

I know exactly what the next tier will be. It will hybridize the moba fps shooter and cutscene cinematic linear corridor into one gigantic fuck you.

There will be 3 main abilities, one set for each race, no visible stats. Gear improves the main abilities, and leveling up improves HP. No Mana or Stamina, it's all flat cooldowns, possibly improved by gear. Then you will have 1 ultimate, which you get at a late level, and only legendary gear can improve. DLC gear allows you to swap abilities and ultimates for those of other races. You must also purchase plushies (bethesda amiibo) to unlock certaib gear and difficulty levels and achievements.

All areas are large empty fields, (one big corridor) fenced in by walls, with a single town and dungeon, and if you head in a direction other than a quest marker you will lose control of your character and it will go back. Just like in fucking Horizon zero reason to buy. Only paid mods will work on the game, from the Bethesda CC.

They do, don't they?

>MC that talks, has a predetermined backstory, and has a canon last name that everyone refers to him as
>skills reduced to Warrior, Mage, and Thief perk trees
>QTEs added to combat
>cutscenes

Fable 2 got me into the series and i kinda liked fable 3 but not as much as 2 will i enjoy the og fable?

>scrap gamebryo
Be careful what you wish for.

>All skills unlocked as you level up so you can your playstyle on the fly
>It's not like they can just play the game multiple times.
Nah that's not very profitable. We want players to know that playing the game as a whole new class is like a whole new game. In fact why don't we just make a game for each class.
It could be Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Warrior Edition or Mage Edition or Thief Edition, but we'll call them Companions, Wizard's college, and Dark Brotherhood editions. Then we can make special editions of each to sell to PS5 and WiiSwitchBox with limited piss filters and mini dlc we pay modders to make upfront a third of minimum wage commission.

Just channel his glory Todd Howard into your soul and you too will understand. The money we could make together.

Reminder that changes and streamlining aren't synonymous with something being dumbed down

>add spears, flails, halberds, katanas, melee staves, knuckles, separate long bow\short bow\crossbow into 3 different types

way to include THROWING WEAPONS you fucking shit

go to bed todd

the creation engine is just gamebryo with a new name and coat of paint, it even has the same fucking bugs that gamebryo had

>All attacks will have aim assist and auto swing
>You lock on to an enemy, if the enemy get to far your character will automatically follow them
>Bows and Magic will have 10 arrows/charges that are infinite and replenish after a few seconds.

Am I the only one who installs this game just to have sex with Aela the huntress then get bored and uninstall?

I never liked throwing weapons in any game. Sorry, user

It uses the vats from fallout 3 as the cinematic kills in skyrim

what if I name my character Todd?

It'll be a title instead of a last name, like "Dragonborn".

like that would ever happen, fuccboi

You automatically unlock every speech skill

Throwing weapons are great fuck you. They are usually not done very well though.

Those are some good ideas friend, how would like a job?

I know right? You fucking piece of shit

well they already ruined vertically exploration by removing magic like jump and levitate

so lets remove horizontal exploration as well.

...

>They are usually not done very well though.

because they tend to be expensive and non-recoverable. it'd be fine if we could loot them off bodies, dammit

Thats one thing runescape did right.

>scrap all rpg elements
>TES6 is now a first person walking simulator

2 Skills, Attack and Utility.
All offensive magics fall under attack and all previous non combat skills are just utilities.
Remove ammunition of any kind; bows come with infinite arrows.
Offensive magic spells don't use mana since you can enchant fortify destruction to 100% in Skyrim easily anyway, so why make the player go through the trouble of doing that.
Stamina's gone too.

Free mods.

I doubt it honestly, after FO4 didn't Todd acknowledge voiced protag wasn't well received by normies?

This is what skyrim vr will be. Just plops you down on the throat of the world so you can observe the scenery and shout at the occasional dragon

Having arrows and throwing weapons not almost always recoverable is the dumbest fucking thing. Them being expensive is also stupid since they take less materials and effort to make aside from javelins I guess. I want more games that have sword fighting and shit to let me chuck throwing daggers at people. Throwing axes and swords would also be cool.

Throwing weapons have never been inplimented wear and are retarded because few people want to scour the area for where ever the weapon landed

There's a reason why they dumb down their games y'know.

...

why do women have to ruin everything

They went too far though, even the normies thought FO4 garbage

dont blame women for bethesda's mistakes

Don't you mean why do betas pandering to their idea of women have to ruin everything?

>Free mods
No, make every mod on Disc DLC, making the game take up a terabyte of space, and then charge people at minimum 5 bucks for each one. oh, and pay the creators of our new "mini-DLC" nothing after putting it into the game.
WE'LL BE FUCKING RI-- I mean, all the console players will finally be able to experience modding at the same level as PC players.

>females are equal to males, they play videogames too!
>we remove complicated mechanics from our games for females, so they can play
Man I do love progressive western world

>English

if there weren't womeme there wouldn't be betas pandering to them in the first place

>females are braindead damaged
you heard it from him

add like 10 new stats, all of which affect gameplay noticeably
add hunger/thirst/fatigue/cold/heat/toxicity mechanics
armor is fully customizable down to the bracers
plunder old D&D core books and splatbooks for every conceivable fantasy archetype, make it a class with its own unique skills and playstyle
crafting system lets you create every single piece of equipment in the game
magic system lets you create spells so powerful they kill your character when he tries to cast them without being strong/skilled enough
permadeath

>Player gains the ability "Dragon Shift" early on
>It allows the player to jump forward briefly through time, appearing directly at the next quest marker's location
>The only restriction is a 300sec cooldown after each use

>NPC followers are now unkillable by default, and take no damage from enemy attacks- Instead, they are merely staggered if hit

>Conjuration/Mysticism is further steamlined to consist of two things: casting soul trap, and summoning an "atronach"- not a fire, frost or storm atronach, just an atronach that fires typeless magic projectiles that are effective against all foes

Well that's like saying if humans didn't exist, there would be no retards around

Dead island does it pretty well as long as you play as the character who has skills for it. The metro games have throwing knifes that work well. Payday 2 does it well, but it feels shallow in comparison to the other examples. Hotline Miami does it well. Warframe kinda does it well.

>survivalcraft
>permadeath

sounds nice when you say it that way

This is why females shouldn't play video games

>Can Bethesda even dumb their games down anymore?
I used to think that way until Fallout 4 happened.

too much customization/crafting a shit

I would unironically prefer autoattack and tab target based combat. Maybe not in first person but I'm happy to zoom out.

>agree
>agree sarcastically

>MC is now convicted of an incredibly specific characterizing crime with a detailed arrest record and testimonies by various important characters that are now integrated into the characters backstory as well as absolutely 0 doubt that the character did it

I feel bad for people with fetishes that they will never get to experience like this giantess shit.

fuck you, seriously

>classes

No thanks.

That's why you always get multiple fetishes just to be sure

Why? Being forced into a role makes for more interesting games.

Replace "females" with "normies/casuals"... and he is still kind of right: not all not all normies are females, but all females are normies.

Still, it would bother me not being able to do it in real life. I think I've done pretty much everything I'm super into.

>tfw my fetish is true love and handholding
>still won't ever get to experience it

I hope that doesn't imply hiring whores

Aw you don't know that buddy. Unless you mean disney style butterfly love because I don't think that exists.

Nah, just girlfriends willing to go a bit outside the box or hook ups I didn't give a shit about.

As if they have even "dumbed down" their games that much already.

All of the TES games are for low IQ retards.

I want girlfriends

One of the reasons why they are actually able to do such big open-world is because how while their version of gamebryo is an old mess, it's the most adapted to that kind of shit and they know how to work quickly with it.

>All
Uuuh but Morrowind exists

>wasting time, resources and money on a shitty, useless "le epic phunny xD meme" instead of using it on writing a decent story with decent characters and good gameplay

>Nah that's not very profitable. We want players to know that playing the game as a whole new class is like a whole new game.
Yeah, you're not getting hired.
