How come there's no starfield crossover?

DrNukenstein · September 2023

I want a space ship mount, and a space suit.

Soarora · September 2023

That would not be lore-friendly.

Tornaad · September 2023

Starfield = game set in a potential future of Earth.
Elder Scrolls franchise = Game set on the world of Tamriel where there is no such thing as the planet earth.
So, no crossover because from the perspective of each game, the other does not exist.

Looking at streamers playing Starfield it look boring as hell, not my Kinda game.. Lucky i didnt buy xbox

Bunch of random adventurers riding inter galactic space goat mount is absolutely lore friendly.

Your next line is; It is dragonbreak!

I'm not a dragonbreak-er. The inter-galactic space goat mount isn't lore-friendly either. Sure, you could make an illusion but to have it so detailed and also be able to ride it? I doubt it is possible. Radiant apexes aren't made to be lore-friendly, they're made to be flashy and then some lore is made up to make it fit.

Um, ahckshually,

Tamriel is a Continent on the world of Nirn, in the dimensional plane of Mundus.

But yeah, no crossover needed whatsoever.

I think this is being forgotten.

Different games, different genres.

Starfield is in North Cyrodiil.

BlueRaven · September 2023

What they could have done is come out with a model of the planet with its two moons. A small account bound (so it can be placed in every home), yet lore friendly nod to starfield.

And remember there is a Donkey Kong reference in Imperial City. So they can add lore friendly nods to popular culture.

That is still a mudcrab, something that exists in the setting, adding something that does not however is lorebreaking.

Rohamad_Ali · September 2023

IDK if they put orcs in space then it's a muppet movie or warhammer 40k? Why would anyone want smelly ship if portals get you where you're going with fresh air? Too many questions. Seems like a Thundar the barbarian cartoon.

Hapexamendios · September 2023

Because it isn't needed

Azphira · September 2023

ESO has bugs, Starfield probably has bugs, there's your crossover.

Sidereum · September 2023

I mean, a crossover isn't necessary but it would be cool.

Also, TES lore has a lot of sci-fi elements, or even just astronomy related elements. From the moons-wandering khajiits, to the ancient altmeri "spaceships" (actually the Reman emperors, or one in particular whom I don't remember, had spaceships too). Not to mention the planetaries in various parts of Tamriel, the dwemer technology, and most importantly Thaddeus Cosma. Cool character.

Warhawke_80 · September 2023

I have zero interest in Starfield...there is still way too much to do in ESO

Jamie_Aubrey · September 2023

2 separate developers

Well of course it's a Mudcrab. If Doom Guy and the demons of Hell can be referenced as a Mudcrab what makes you think something Starfield related can't be condensed into something the same way?

AcadianPaladin · September 2023

Am I the only one to assume that OP is totally joking and chuckling over all the serious responses?

That's more of an Easter Egg than a crossover. I agree they should put a Starfield easter egg into the game, but a cross over would mean that game's lore would actually be combined into this one explicitly, and that doesn't really work.

YstradClud · September 2023

The best news I heard about Starfield being released is that Elder Scrolls 6 has now finally "has completed the pre-production stage and moved into the development phase". ESO might get a cross over when that finally gets released because they are both from the same universe.

AvalonRanger · September 2023

I was struggling "Star-Field" spaceship combat which was very annoying game mechanics.
So, I was very tired today (Especially, my eyes were almost dried out to keep watching "Red Lock-on" marking).

After that, go Vet dungeon and did much of mistake today...That was my cross-over experience.

the OP mentions a ''space ship mount'' and a ''space suit,'' and maybe they were joking with those specific examples, but taking them seriously, they'd be horrible for ESO

xclassgaming · September 2023

I doubt they'd do anything you suggest, but i could see them maybe slipping in a easter egg like a character with a samiliar name/look to one of the main characters.

IsharaMeradin · September 2023

Look up at the sky any time during the night, there is your Starfield...

RaddlemanNumber7 · September 2023

What if there's already an easter egg in the crown store/crates and no one has made the connection yet

Elsonso · September 2023

Yes, I suppose it would not have been surprising if they released a miniature Dwemer Centurian pet named "Vasco"

RaddlemanNumber7 · September 2023

Or a star field projector referencing Constellation, LOL

you mean you think the star projector in the current crates is supposed to be a reference? That's kinda cool though and that's the kind of thing that would be good for easter eggs.

They should bring the celestial crates back too next month in celebration and totally not because there's something in those that I want to buy

TybaltKaine · September 2023

Yeah, cause space ships wouldn't be lore friendly in a game with a celebration of a time traveling murder robot (That's Pelinal Whitestrake for the curious).

A fun little nod would be fine. I wouldn't buy it, but I also wouldn't lose my head over it.
