He apparently worked on Oblivion (and Skyrim), so there's a chance. He took a chance on Starfield and failed, so hopefully he learns from that instead of doubling down.

Yeah, but I don't have a ton of faith in him, especially given that one whiny twitter thread he made.

Oblivion and Skyrim were both massive disappointments to me.

If ES 6 comes out, it’ll have maybe three skills - magic/combat/sneak. Any interesting/complicated lore will be retconned and shoved aside. (Why wasn’t Cyrodil a jungle? Where are my river drakes? What happened to Sutch? Where is my Colovian armor set?)

Morrowind is the best. Oblivion remaster is better than skyrim (in my Morrowboomer opinion) and that was just refreshing a 20 year old game. I feel like there is a lot of hype for TES6 that it may not live up to, but surpassing skyrim is definitely doable.

Honestly TES6 has one thing going for it and that's that Skyrim is over a decade old now so matching the scale and scope of Skyrim is much more achievable.

In my opinion when a sequel falls flat or is outshined by an earlier entry in the series, it's usually because the studio messed with the formula for the gameplay, not because of a change in characters

Oh we will see it ! I'm confident it's going to be shit, but who knows
