    “Streamlining” has been their mantra since Oblivion. TES6 is going to be even more watered down than everything else, but also crammed full of useless things. I’m willing to bet they’ll let you build a town. But the town will do nothing and won’t have any impact at all in the game.

      It will do something. It will be a resource sink for a while, and then it will become a resource faucet. Nothing more interesting than that.

        Nah, you just described Starfield. They’re going to decide that was too easy and gate building behind even more story/skills/tasks for less reward.

          That’s not how Bethsoft works. They make everything easier than the last game. They’ll decide Starfield was too difficult, and streamline from there.

        Yeah, it will be bad. I don’t really understand how some people can be excited about it.

        It will be passable, it will have a few moments, but in the end you’ll be left wanting and it will set in just how disinterested the owner of the franchise is in any problem that doesn’t preclude sales. It will sell well enough in preorders just because it’s a Skyrim sequel.

          Actually, if they have creativity left in them they’ll have the option to make your own guild! Imagine building each part of your new guilds headquarters! And then imagine absolutely none of it doing anything!

      Well they did that in the Elder Scrolls: Blades mobile game. And it’s exactly how you describe.

      For town creation that works, see Dark Cloud.
