I think they'll keep the three basic directions so they can still claim to make an RPG. It will be "Fighty", "Flashy", and "Sneaky".
And their biggest improvement will be horseback combat.
jk that's hard work.
New "high resolution texture pack" looks like shit still

The consensus in the modding community is that horseback combat is a pain in the ass to make, because of the NPC specific behaviour, navmesh, road meshes and agression status of the ridden creature. There is a mod that implement agression for horseriders in Skyrim, and while it's technically "working", it will never be as smooth and simple as in Witcher III. Maybe the best modders of the loverslab would have the skills to actually make it work like a charm, somehow, but the stress it will bring to Papyrus will probably make it incompatible with everything.
Not sure it can ever be implemented properly in Gamebryo/Papyrus, tbh. Since it's difficult even for modders, the chances of Bethesda doing it are pretty small, unless they start using a completely new engine. Although, a modder once made a functional horse riding/fighting mod for New Vegas, the thing is, nobody knows how he made it (and he cannot release it, since it uses animation assets from another game or something like that. If I remember correctly, Bloodironzero made the initial mod, and Dragbody enhanced it to include shooting mechanics)

So yeah, it boils down to "Meh, it's hard work, let's focus on copying Minecraft and Bioware games instead".

The texture pack needs an 8 GB GTX 1080 and 58 GB of HDD space?
That seems a bit... excessive.
Minimum Requirements
That seems a bit... excessive.
Minimum Requirements
- OS: Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
- Processor: Intel Core i7-5820K or better
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: GTX 1080 8GB
- Storage: 58 GB available space
It is excessive, most likely because it's completely unoptimized. I have an i5-3570 @ 3.4 GHz, a GTX970, and 8 GB RAM and it runs mostly fine, though. FPS is a bit lower and I get some texture pop-in/LoD issues, but overall it works ok. Doesn't look much better, though.

Thanks again Bethesda for making me realize how modders should've been making your games in the first place.

They released a texture pack to a game who's issue isn't texture quality, but texture DESIGN!?
You can't make plastic shitty textures look nicer by increasing their resolution you fuckwits!

I just realized the texture pack requires more HDD space than the game itself, lol.
Thank god for modders-- specifically the team behind the "Vivid" texture packs.

Wow, unoptimized textures to make the game run even worse. Bethesda's Seal of approval.
