Elder Scrolls 6 likely won’t revert to “fiddly character sheets” after Baldur’s Gate 3 success, explains Skyrim lead
Lead Skyrim designer Bruce Nesmith reveals that the success of Baldur's Gate 3 probably won't change The Elder Scrolls 6 at all.

"Streamlining" has been their mantra since Oblivion. TES6 is going to be even more watered down than everything else, but also crammed full of useless things. I'm willing to bet they'll let you build a town. But the town will do nothing and won't have any impact at all in the game.
It will do something. It will be a resource sink for a while, and then it will become a resource faucet. Nothing more interesting than that.
Nah, you just described Starfield. They're going to decide that was too easy and gate building behind even more story/skills/tasks for less reward.
I also described Fallout 4.
That's not how Bethsoft works. They make everything easier than the last game. They'll decide Starfield was too difficult, and streamline from there.
I wish. I got Starfield a month ago and everything is gated like that. Core space combat abilities from the tutorial are gated behind perks. Want to craft? You have to invest 15 levels for guns, then 10 for space suits, then 10 for ships, and on, and on. And there's no getting better just because you do it a lot.
Starfield seems like someone thought Skyrim was too freewheeling so they locked everything down way beyond what's necessary.
Oof that sucks
The town bit is so uncannily spot, Christ
Yeah, it will be bad. I don't really understand how some people can be excited about it.
It will be passable, it will have a few moments, but in the end you'll be left wanting and it will set in just how disinterested the owner of the franchise is in any problem that doesn't preclude sales. It will sell well enough in preorders just because it's a Skyrim sequel.
Actually, if they have creativity left in them they'll have the option to make your own guild! Imagine building each part of your new guilds headquarters! And then imagine absolutely none of it doing anything!
Well they did that in the Elder Scrolls: Blades mobile game. And it's exactly how you describe.
For town creation that works, see Dark Cloud.
