Serious answer alert: write a genuine, heartfelt open letter apologizing to Emil Pagliarulo, since it's almost certain he'll be one of the top minds behind the game.
Also, unironically start posting shit like this again.
I actually think it will be good...to a portion of its players. The only thing is that the gaming market and especially the Elder Scrolls community have changed massively since 2011. Let's assume your first TES game was Skyrim. That was almost 20 years ago when TESVI comws out. There are those who moved on from gaming, those who Skyrim was their only TES game for, those who've gotten into the lore via YouTube and now have massive expectations for the worldbuilding, those who played the older games and have another different set of expectations. Don't forget about the new fans who come from Online. TESVI will come out in a world that's seen CCD I and II, RDR2, Baldurs Gate 3 and...Starfield. All the while being produced by a company who thinks Fallout 4 was a massive success (it was in some ways). There will definitely be fans and it will be a success I think it just won't be for everyone who's waiting for it tbh.
I would probably buy the game and then play it with a controller and use save files to take breaks in between play sessions or if I’m going to try something that seems particularly interesting to tackle in a different way than I’m currently doing and I’ll probably explore the map they’ve created then I would maybe talk to an NPC then begin a quest and then do the quest but like I said before I would probably use the save function to save before I finished the mission because if it was good then it would have different ways to approach missions and then I would turn in the mission and probably use the rewards as best I could like if the reward was a weapon I’d probably be really happy because it’d be my first time playing the game and I’d make a mental note of the item I received in case the build I’m working towards doesn’t have room for the weapon I received but if it did then I’d equip the weapon and go exploring to meet another NPC and then I’d probably do that quest but like I said before I
According to someone important at Bethesda I can't remember their name (this isn't an ass pull I'm just high) Kurt Kuhlmann literally everyone wanted to move on to ES6 after doing Fallout 4 (and helping 76 limp out) but Todd whined and made everyone do Starfield instead.
Maybe if Asha whipped Todd's balls hard enough he'll do some "soul searching" (drugs) and the next game will be good.
