I expect Fallout 76 to be a Day Z-ish shell of a proper Fallout title, but I'm excited about ES6!

Inb4 voiced main character, forcing smaller range of dialogue and story options and limiting roleplayability, and those five voice actors behind every NPC, etc. etc. :3 Cinematicness!

I think it's worth considering if we should support a company who carries out these kinds of intimidation tactics against its player and fan base.

I get it, their games are good - perhaps even one-of-a-kind - but much like Uber and Riot, perhaps even with their great service they aren't worth supporting.

Just an observation.

For quite a while now, their games have only been made "good" after significant time and effort by the modding community to fix common game-breaking and progress-losing bugs, along with endless quality of life improvements and the fixing of console-port-related issues.

"Vanilla" Bethesda games are pretty bad by reasonable standards, particularly on and shortly after launch.

Has anything been announced in the ES6 front?

Just a teaser trailer with some presumably pre-rendered land flyby. Really just an announcement that it’s in the works, and that it features...land.
