    Are you game?
    Are you game?

    Bethesda announced on Twitter this morning that it will hold a press conference at E3 for the second year in a row. No information is known, other than the date and time, so no word or speculation yet about what games will be shown or discussed.

    What games would you like to see and hear about from Bethesda at their E3 2016 press conference? New Elder Scrolls announcement? Fallout 4 DLC? Perhaps another Fallout spinoff? What about that Dishonored 2 game?

    Definite:
    Release dates for Dishonored 2 and Doom

    Maybe:
    Fallout 4 DLC and release of Mods for consoles

    Hopeful wishes:
    The release of the port/remake they made of Skyrim for new consoles when they were working on Fallout 4

    No chance:
    A new Elder Scrolls (this is probably 2 years away)

    I thought for a second this meant that Bethesda is hosting two press conferences in the same E3. I was like "wait, they have enough material for that!?"

    I'd like to at least know there is a new Elder Scrolls in the works, with maybe a new engine...

    As much as I'd complain about Fallout 4, I still played the hell out of it and would also like to see what they have planned as DLC.

    I want them to come out on stage, say "We are never using Gamebryo again." Then just drop the mic and walk off.

    There is no way they wait until E3 to talk about Fallout 4 DLC. Maybe they will talk about what is already there and show a trailer for the upcoming content but I would be shocked if they didn't talk about it this month and release the first piece by April at the latest.

    I guess it's going to be Dishonered and Doom.

    I just want a release date and some more information on Dishonored 2. Is it actually coming out this year or is it going to be pushed to 2017?

    Fallout 4 disappointed me so much the only thing that could get me excited at this conference is a new Elder Scrolls.

    I think that there is a really good chance of having a Skyrim "HD" rerelease since Bethesda have already said that they ported Skyrim to whatever version of the engine that Fallout uses.

    There will be Fallout DLC and Dishonored 2 stuff (excited for some Dis).

    What I absolutely hope and pray for the most is some kind of hint at what the next Elder Scrolls game will be. I don't need any dates, art or anything I just need a hint to where it will be set.

    My guess is Dishonored 2, Doom, and Fallout 4 DLC plans. I think they'll hold off on Elder Scrolls VI for awhile. There's no reason for them to upstage their own projects right now.

    I think Skyrim has become more of a franchise than The Elder Scrolls. So, strangely, the next Elder Scrolls game will probably be:

    Skyrim II: The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall

    I'd love to see another Black Isle Fallout

    I'd love to see what the DLC for Fallout 4 is going to be.

    I'd love to see an Elder Scrolls game with: A new engine, no voiced protagonist, modding tools just as powerful/more powerful than what we have now, VR support.

    And what the heck, a new Terminator game!

    I'd love to see a new engine for their games. However, I always get this feeling that the reason why Bethesda is so mod friendly is because they keep using iterations of Gamebryo.

    If they are hosting again this year, they have to have a real new AAA game annoncement at the conference. I doubt they would do something just for well known games and DLC.

    It's probably something in the veigns of Dishonered though, were Bethesda is only the publisher.

    What game is that robot thing on the left from? I recognise all the others.

    I want to learn more about Dishonored but honestly so long as it's not a huge departure from the first I'm super sold already. I'd love to see something new. Perhaps a tease for a new Machine Games project?

    What teams does Bethesda have?

    Bethsoft: Fallout 4 dlc

    Arkane: Dishonoured 2

    id:DOOM

    Machinegames: ???

    Edit: totally forgot about Shinki Mikami's team Tango Gameworks so I have no idea what they'd be working on either.

    I'm hoping for some hot Dishonored 2 gameplay and a release date, along with maybe a new Shinji Mikami project announcement.

    I wonder how much new stuff there will be compared to last year

    Doom should be out by then

    Last year made sense because Fallout was such a big thing that it kinda carried that thing on it's own

    It will be interesting to see what happens at least

    I think they've already shown their hand too much. Maybe they'll take EA's spot on the E3 floor but i doubt it. Fallout 4 was such a huge disappointment for me that i'm probably not going to get the DLC for it.

    I do agree that they need something BIG and new to show off but how many of the other companies do that in E3 nowadays?

    Hey kids? YEAH? Want to play a much more buggy, unreliable, outdated, and petty version of Skyrim? Eh? No.

    @dudeglove: They might have a go at announcing the first mods for the consoles and then also revel that they're as many of us expected, paid mods.

    @dudeglove: Both consoles have mod support, it's just Bethesda had their advertising deal with Microsoft so it was announced on stage at E3 last year that there would be "curated" mods on Xbox One. Then a few days later in a backroom somewhere they said PS4 would have them too.

    What they never said about either console though, was if those mods would be free or paid for. They just said they'd be "curated". "Curated" probably does mean "we've ensured nothing dodgy is going to happen as a result of this mod so we're going to charge for that".
