It&#8217;s our own fault, really. Howard was also careful to point out that Elder Scrolls 6 won&#8217;t be anything like Starfield or Fallout 76.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think we&#8217;ve\u2014if you look at our games\u2014we&#8217;ve always evolved,&#8221; Howard said. &#8220;We do have a certain style that we like and our fans like that we want to get better and better at. I think in some ways\u2014in many ways, Fallout 76 and Starfield are a little bit of a creative detour from that classic Elder Scrolls, Fallout, you know, a Skyrim, or a Fallout 3, or a Fallout 4, Oblivion, where you&#8217;re exploring a world in a certain way. And, as we come back to Elder Scrolls 6 that we&#8217;re doing now, we&#8217;re coming back to that classic style that we&#8217;ve missed, that we know really, really well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But while we can hope The Elder Scrolls 6 returns to Bethesda&#8217;s strengths as a developer, one thing that will be changing is the engine. &#8220;We spent the last several years bringing Creation Engine 2, which powers Starfield, up to Creation Engine 3. That&#8217;s gonna power Elder Scrolls 6 and beyond,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>While Bethesda used Gamebryo for Morrowind, Oblivion, and Fallout 3, it switched to the Creation Engine for Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76, and then upgraded that to Creation Engine 2 for Starfield. While the assumption was that this upgrade would be enough to handle Elder Scrolls 6 as well, I guess not. Let&#8217;s hope the upgrade means we get less loading screens in The Elder Scrolls 6, whenever it comes out.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"33416cb4-a5f1-4e49-8ec5-9304f8c64f10\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Oblivion console commands\" data-dimension48=\"Oblivion console commands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:847px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Bx3x5ENSAUdput6Vqj9USS\" name=\"oblivion remastered maiq the liar\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/todd-howard-says-bethesda-will-return-to-that-classic-style-for-elder-scrolls-6-fallout-76-and-starfield-are-a-little-bit-of-a-creative-detour.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"847\" height=\"847\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/oblivion-console-commands-cheats\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"33416cb4-a5f1-4e49-8ec5-9304f8c64f10\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Oblivion console commands\" data-dimension48=\"Oblivion console commands\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Oblivion console commands<\/strong><\/a>: Cheats new and old<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-elder-scrolls\/oblivion-how-to-get-lockpicks\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Oblivion lockpicks<\/strong><\/a>: Where and how to use them<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-elder-scrolls\/oblivion-vampirism-cure-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Oblivion vampirism cure<\/strong><\/a>: Rid yourself of the affliction<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-elder-scrolls\/oblivion-thieves-guild-join\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Oblivion thieves guild<\/strong><\/a>: How to join the crew<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-elder-scrolls\/oblivion-persuasion-minigame\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Oblivion persuasion<\/strong><\/a>: Master the minigame<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/todd-howard-says-bethesda-will-return-to-that-classic-style-for-elder-scrolls-6-fallout-76-and-starfield-are-a-little-bit-of-a-creative-detour\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bethesda game director Todd Howard recently emerged blinking into the light of day for an interview with Greg Miller on the Kinda Funny Gamescast.
