Bethesda Veteran Quits After 20 Years Over Growing Bureaucracy

Veteran designer Kurt Kuhlmann left Bethesda Game Studios in 2023 after more than two decades, citing a shift toward management-heavy bureaucracy as the company grew. He said the expanded structure hindered hands-on game design, with Starfield’s development affected by communication breakdowns. The decision followed Bethesda retracting a promise to make him lead designer on The Elder Scrolls 6, and he doubted the protracted AAA timeline would suit his creative approach for TES6.

A former Bethesda lead artist, Nate Purkeypile, says TES6 and Fallout 5 are in a no-win situation due to enormous expectations and rampant hate from fans, including threats, meaning even a game as acclaimed as Skyrim would still be met with harsh criticism. He left Bethesda partly because living up to Skyrim’s legacy and the negative fan reaction surrounding Starfield add intense pressure on the next titles.

The Elder Scrolls 6: Continuing Skyrim's Levelling System and Magic Traces

Former Bethesda design director, Bruce Nesmith, believes that The Elder Scrolls 6 will retain Skyrim's levelling up and progression system. Nesmith, who worked on Skyrim and Starfield, stated that while he can't guarantee these inclusions himself, he believes that the sequel will continue the system. Skyrim's progression system allows players to level up specific skills by using related items and abilities, contributing to an overall experience bar.

"Starfield: Bethesda Game Studios' Promising Present and Future"

Starfield, the highly anticipated game from Bethesda Game Studios, will remain the focus for the studio for quite some time, even though the follow-up to Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls 6, has entered full production. Starfield is a massive game that offers hundreds of hours of role-playing adventure and will be supported by Bethesda with patches, content updates, DLC, and expansions for years to come. Given the long development cycles of modern AAA games, it is likely that The Elder Scrolls 6 will take several years to complete, possibly making Starfield the only Bethesda release for the Xbox Series X generation. Additionally, it may be a while before we see a sequel to Starfield or Fallout 5, as Bethesda's director, Todd Howard, prefers to work on one game at a time and keep his franchises close to his chest.
