Elder Scrolls 6 May Not Be Able To Live Up To The Hype, Skyrim Designer Says
The Elder Scrolls VI likely won't be able to live up expectations from fans, according to Bethesda veteran Bruce Nesmith, who was the lead designer on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Nesmith, who left Bethesda after Microsoft bought the company, said in an interview that it will be "almost impossible" for The Elder Scrolls VI to live up the hype.
The issue, Nesmith believes, is that Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series is held in such a high regard thanks to a number of critical and commercial successes over the years. Bethesda's history of making great games is a "blessing and a curse," Nesmith told Kiwi Talkz, as reported by PC Gamer.
"Elder Scrolls 6 is undoubtedly going to be an amazing game, but it's going to be compared to all the previous games that Bethesda made," Nesmith said. "The fans who want to buy Elder Scrolls 6, their expectation is going to be almost impossible to meet. And marketing departments just put their heads in their hands and weep at this. Because it's like, 'Okay, if it isn't perfect, it doesn't get a 95-plus on Metacritic, we're a failure.'"
