I believe ES6 will have a similarly sized development team. I don't know how much they've expanded since Skyrim and Fallout 4 - but those two games were made with just about a hundred people. The Bethsoft development team is relatively small for an AAA game. It's not something I would like to see them dedicate resources for - unless they can truly spare them. However, better combat is never a bad thing.Īs for mini-games, I like them well enough - but don't really consider them essential. It's a lot harder to have dual wielding, archery, stealth, and so on be equally fluid and well executed as sword + 5 signs.Ĭertainly, I don't want the next Bethsoft to be as limiting as Witcher 3 in that particular way, in the name of smoother animations.
Geralt has a pre-defined arsenal that's never going to change - and Witcher 3 doesn't offer the wealth of alternatives that Skyrim does. It's hard to create a narrative like the one in Witcher 3 when the main character is so undefined and it would be quite counter to the intention to have pre-established relationships that have a lot of history, like we see with Dandelion, Triss and so on.Īs for combat, we're - yet again - faced with two very different games.
However, people should try to appreciate the "ultimate freedom" formula that Bethsoft are going for. That said, I do think they could stand to improve the writing a lot. Well, I'm not sure what they "need" to learn in terms of business - seeing as how Bethsoft games are massively more successful overall.
