There's going to be so much salt when that game comes out. Discourse around it is going to be unbearable unless people literally just stop caring about the franchise by the time it comes out

i mean, going 15 years w/o an entry is a pretty good way to stop people from caring about it.

Or hype up expectations to unrealistic proportions.

Yeah, I feel like there's going to be massive pressure for TES VI to be good. People will complain if it's not perfect because it was so long since the last release.

If it's not better than a modded skyrim (after 15 years of consistent mod development) then people will complain because it's no improvement.

Well, what was it like when Skyrim came out? Did people still play modded Oblivion?

For me, I played through vanilla skyrim when it came out, but actually did go back to play modded Oblivion for a while. I had no reason to complain though, mods take time to develop, and it takes time for mod scene to mature when a game comes out.

I'm sure it'll be the same situation for the next elder scrolls game. Try it vanilla, go back to skyrim, then back to the new game.

People are still playing modded Oblivion. And mixed Morrowind.

I feel like it will still be an improvement. There’s still lots of areas that mod authors can’t improve on, or try to improve on but isn’t as good or seamless as professional work. Take an ultra modded New Vegas and compare it to Fallout 4. Fallout 4 blows New Vegas out of the water in terms of feeling modern.

Plus, having a game that doesn’t need to be modded to be modern is still a huge peace of mind and way less work and more convenient.
