Nether's Follower Framework is a Skyrim mod that allows players to have up to 10 followers as well as a wealth of additional features.
Bethesda dropped an update for Skyrim recently, causing all mods to stop working. Is it finally time for modders to look towards Starfield?
Instead of paid mods, Bethesda should pay modders to make their games because they clearly forgot how to make them good. Excited as I am for the supposed Oblivion remake, I am concerned that Bethesda is a shell of its former self like Bioware.
I forgot they were doing that remake. Well supposedly. I still wish they go back and do something with fallout 1 and 2. Even port it to xbox its something. I'd love to play them with a controller. It can be done
Bethesda use to make fun games but with starfield there is so much content completely against having fun. Even mod community doesn’t want to waste time with starfield. So much hype for this game and what we received just isn’t it
Bethesda needs to start employing more gamers as they clearly don't understand what it takes to play video games 😂
Digitally
I really think Todd and Bethesda higher ups don’t think they have to listen to gamers. They think they know what’s best. Again Bethesda would be getting bashed if they weren’t owned by MS. Right now Xbox fan base is in full defense mode and saying things like this game will be much better in about a year after patches and dlc
That’s a sad state of affairs that we are saying give billion dollar companies unlimited amount of time after launching AAA game to fix the game
I think theyre different scenarios. Bioware lost leadership and went with a broken GaaS game in Anthem. Bethesda just makes games that are stuck in 2012. In 2006 it was amazing. In 2023 not so much.
I'm sure you do now they you're charging for them, but modders make mods for game they like, they're not your pawns to help sell your mediocre game. make a game worth modding and they will.
Skyrim is the most stripped down bare bones Elder Scrolls game it could barely even be called a Scrolls game.
They stripped out so much of the soul of that series, it's a basic adventure game with an Elder Scrolls skin.
Yeah because they literally thought to themselves as always “let’s just release the game the way it is, modders will add onto it and fix whatever is broken, in a years time we’ll be golden”
That…is not happening
So yeah, they are probably shitting themselves
Sounds like Bethesda has become irrelevant... so why are talking about them ? It's not like anybody gives a shit what they are working on , if anything at all.
There's probably some truth to that. I also think some modders are waiting to see what the proper mod tools are going to allow when they release next year. Apparently they're more comprehensive than any tools BGS have ever released.
Well, they should’ve made a game as great as Skyrim then. Must be rocket surgery for these guys.
PCgamesn writes, "The Starfield Steam player count has dropped below that of Elder Scrolls Skyrim, just two months after the new Bethesda RPG first launched."
Probably because most are playing it on GP. No reason to buy it full price when you can get it cheaper.
But I thought that the claim was it sold well? If it barely sold on Xbox because of Gamepass then most sales would be on steam no? And it that's the case and there's very few players active...that doesn't bode well for something people would play for years
Anecdotally I know quite a few people who were obsessed at launch but they're interest fizzled out around two weeks and then dropped it completely around CP phantom libertys launch.
Seems that was a trend as the last month has been wall to wall releases if imagine most people moved on
The truth is, the game was average to good at best, nothing to set the world on fire and when all said and done it'll probably sell about 4m across Xbox and PC which ain't great but the bigger problem for MS is that it didn't increase GP numbers.
Most GP casuals probably never played more than a few hours etc.
@profchaos
Exactly what I did, played it, beat it within like 60 hours, initially enjoyed it, and then replaying Cyberpunk made me realise how many elements of the game were below par.
@Crow
How does this change the number of games already sold 9n steam and everywhere else? The people that bought the game could has finished. I for one don't continue to play games after 8 complete them. Numbers may change as new content comes out.
Do you feel a month and a half is not long enough to finish a game?

This was supposed to be a new skyrim. A game that has unlimited replay value for 10 years.
It’s a trash game. Only popular because there was nothing else to play on that console.
Do you expect the game to have 100, 000 players every month? You realize Skyrim has wealth of content and more mods and has been around for 12 years vs 2 months you also expect pplto ng+ 100 times also? Whenever the new Expansion drops the player count will go up that's how it all works. Plus they plan on sticking with it for 5 years this is only the beginning.
Congrats fail submission post. Next up let's post Exo Primals player count next, Mortal Kombat player counts.
Your little immature hate parade for this game is chilling you need to see a doctor bro.
It did sell well. Doesn't mean people will keep playing it though. Both can be true.
So I guess all these millions of players are hardcore gamers spending 10+ hours every day and finishing up the game quick. Doing all the content etc,...yeah right. Its a boring mess and most likely dropped it soon after starting it up.
To be fair, Cyberpunk doodoos on Starfield when it comes to presentation and character builds and progression.But Starfield has its merits that have value.
Thank you! First person I've seen on here take a measured approach to Starfield other than me, it's disappointing but still can be a good time if you're into those games.
I doubt it. Starfield doesn't seem like a game people will go back to like Skyrim. Skyrim is also on game pass for new comers.
I agree. As much hate as this game gets I’m still playing it. Maybe like I’ve said it’s just a game made for me. I’ve had a blast with it, and I think it’s Bethesdas best narrative. It’s fallout in space which is a dream game for me. Im sorry for the people who don’t enjoy it, but I’m not gonna blast a game I have 250 hours in.
The hate boner people have for this game (even before release) is actually disgusting.
These people aren't gamers.
Better is subjective. Starfield s***s on other games in certain aspects, and vice versa.
I said it s***s on other games in certain aspects. Games have “strengths and weaknesses” of course.
What aspects? From what I played, it did nothing better than other games and certainly didn't do anything substantially better. So, my curiosity remains.
Let me specify: Starfield has crafting and Elden ring has crafting. This is to highlight that games have their own perks that give them value, and its not always as simple as game A is better than game B.
Critically better games.
But you've stated it very nicely. Starfields shits a lot
Yes. That is what Microsoft’s marketing does.. pays for hype, manipulates, and drives impulse purchasing.
Through their sponsored content creators and media partners.
I enjoyed it, but it felt more like a good 3rd party game than a AAA 1st party game.
As far as I'm concerned MS still has to convince me/gamers they can make AAA OMFG games.
It doesn’t meet industry standards, but that has its own merits. Bethesda is just doing their own thing.
Well, it’s been out long enough to beat it and it’s sort of super boring. How long are you expecting people to play this for?
Game Rant Writes "The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is an incredible open-world RPG, a blueprint for many current games, and an enduring standard for future development."
"On top of that, Starfield will be released before The Elder Scrolls 6, so players have more time to explore Skyrim if the sci-fi take on Bethesda's formula doesn't quite scratch the same itch."
Don't worry Xbox, if Starfield sucks you still have Skyrim. Good to see the massive bags of copium are being handed out already.
Skyrim didn’t really do anything different than Morrowind besides being bigger , adding the ultra lame sprint button (you can slay dragons but can only run for 5-10 seconds before getting tired ?) and having less abilities & spell options than the 2 games before it .
I'm starting to get tired of skyrim news. Can we just say the game is popular and move on to the next one already. Oblivion should get a remake or remaster instead of all this skyrim junk at the very least if we can't move on to the new game
