Betting that'll be Avowed. Bethesda's got Starfield coming before TES6, and even that's a ways off.

If Obsidian makes full on RPG, then it's no contest here.

TES Vl won't come out before 2024-2025

Not enough information on either of them to be excited for them. I like those style of games, so I hope both are good and I will enjoy them both. However, CGI trailers that do not show anything about the game, just that a game is being made, does not really get me going. They just make me look forward to more information in the future.

This.
I know I was hyped as fuck for Outer Worlds because Leonard Boyarsky and Tim Cain (Fallout 1 and 2! Arcanum!) were the leading dudes behind the project and it was disappointingly mediocre. I dropped the game and never returned to it. But Obsidian also did some good work (Star Wars: KotoR II, Alpha Protocol, Fallout: NV). So I am still interested but cautious.
Same can be said for Bethesda. But doing CGI or "in-engine" trailers is cheap. Show me gameplay.

The one with more money to play around so Bethesda.
It’s fascinating, that company. One of the most memorable gaming experiences I ever had was with Oblivion and Fallout 3/NW. Opposite can be said about Skyrim and Fallout 4.
I still believe in them, they are masters of world exploration, never fail there.

My excitement so far is about a 3/10 for both of them. I REALLY don't like combat in these games. I just hope they get to be actually fun.
In general probably Elder Scrolls because all I've seen from Avowed so far is very moody. I like my games to also have a bright side.

I've always been a big fan of the Elder Scrolls games so my vote goes to Elder Scrolls 6. Oblivion is one of my favorite games of all time and I think I put over 250 hours into Skyrim. That being said, I plan to buy a XSX next gen and I will definitely have Gamepass so I'm going to download Avowed day one. Hopefully Obsidian knocks it outta the park.

Did you saw the trailer for avowed? Does it looks like an ancient engine to you?!

Basically. They get a lot of shit for bugs and much else, but there's nothing quite like the Bethesda formula.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Gaming is better off with new IP's but traditional game of the year worthy games like Elder Scrolls is exciting, they had their glory years on last gen, I think it'll be great.

After playing through Outer Worlds I'm choosing Bethesda. Hopefully Microsoft's money will help Obsidian to achieve a game as good as Elder Scrolls.

As a diehard Bethesda fan I'd say lets wait how Starfield looks like first. Right now its up in the clouds where BGS's quality standards are right now. I really hope 76 was just a big giant fuck up and that Starfield will be going back on track.
I recently began replaying Fallout 4 again and the quality difference between 76 and 4 is VERY noticable.

Which one are you most excited to play on release date?
You can be excited for both. But which excites you most at this particular moment in time? Surely the thought of one of them makes you a little more giddy than the other.

To be honest, I preferred Obsidian’s story telling in FONV but I actually really love ES lore.
Basically, I don’t know how Obsidians take on a Fantasy setting in an open world will be like while I love Bethesda’s take on fantasy.
Opposite preference on the post apocalyptic/dystopian theme. I prefer Obsidian on Fallout.
Based on that, I am more excited for ES6.

I actually just started Pillars of Eternity a bit over a week ago, so I'll see how this drives up my hype for Avowed. But really, its world and lore isn't something I'm big on yet. What excites me most about Avowed is just the opportunity for another immersive first-person RPG. Like a game to keep me occupied between Elder Scrolls releases.

I voted for TES because I know what it is, I liked the last one and I think it'll have great modding potential.

Avowed. Bethesda open world games dont hold up post 360/PS3 era.

I'm excited for both. I still love BGS WRPGs bugs and all, but Liked Skyrim the least of all their RPGs and after Fallout 76 I have some reservations about Bethesda games.
Avowed OTOH takes place in he PoE universe. I played PoE for the 1st time this year and really loved it. I'm pretty sure the graphics in Avowed will look much better than any Bethesda game, but Obsidian isn't known for bug-free games either. It's very close but I give a slight edge to Avowed.

The first one i can actually play, it's been far too long since a Singleplayer fantasy RPG came out.

Elder Scrolls, because I'm a fanboy. I don't care if it's just Skyrim with a new story, I'm in. My bar is admittedly low.
Not that I'm not excited about Avowed, but all TES has to do is NOT take a step back from Skyrim to keep my happy. But seeing the dumbing down from Morrow to Obliv to Skyrim I have my doubts...

Why would I be excited for either when we know literally nothing about both outside of one being in the PIllars of Eternity universe and the other Elder Scrolls?
I am more excited to see what these games *actually look like*. Though sadly we are probably 2-3 years off from both.

Right now i have to go with The Elder Scrolls. I know enough about the series to know I will like it despite any shortcomings.
Avowed looks great but so far I don't know much about it only Obsidian is developing which is a plus but I really need to see and know more about the game before my vote swings to Avowed.

Bethesda has dropped the ball so much lately and have been incredibly anti-consumer, as well as underdelivering and overpromising.
Obsidian will take the reign as the FPS fantasy western RPG kings, they have been incredibly consistent with their releases and a minimal budget. Now with MS backing they can turn into a powerhouse developer.

From everything I understand, Bethesda games after Skyrim and Fallout 3 have really been missing the mark. I don't have confidence for them to bring new, impressive technology, or even stay true to the things that granted them such megahits in the first place.
Outer Worlds seemingly wasn't... great, but I feel like I have a lot more confidence in an MS-backed Obsidian to do the next Skyrim, than I do Bethesda themselves.
They can feel free to delightfully prove me wrong.

Everyone knows what TES6 is going to be like. It'll be a prettier, more streamlined clone of Skyrim in a somewhat different setting with 3 more voice actors and a boring main questline. Hard to get excited for that.

Avowed. I'm sure it'll have better writing. Skyrims writing was abysmal, as was Fallout 4's. The Outer Worlds wasn't great either, but Pillars and Fallout NV are. If Avowed is also modable and has a bigger world than Skyrim like the leaks suggest? I'd go with that. Elder Scrolls 6 will be great in a few years when its modded to hell. Also, ES6 using the same damn engine they've been using forever now will be lame.
