>Magic schools have been reduced as we really only need two schools, Good and Bad (damage & healing).
>In previous games it was hard to remember the NPCs because there was soo many of them in the towns/cities. To fix this towns are now smaller and town citizens have been replaced with "villager", "farmer", "begger" etc and more unnamed bandits have been added to caves.
>Racial/gender bias has been fixed, if a player plays as a Redguard, Khajiit, Argonian or female they get extra stats at the start for checking their privilege
Sounds fun, non leveling enemies were stupid idea anyways.
lol, funny. you should write articles for cracked!
>>320002063
It should take place in both valenwood and elsweyr
>>320002063
>Boots and gauntlets add unnecessary complexity that confuse our focus groups so they're now part of a general armor set. It works for Fallout!
>To fix this towns are now smaller and town citizens have been replaced with "villager", "farmer", "begger" etc
Fuck me, that might actually be possible.
Anyway, how long will it take until TES VI? Isn't 2019 a little to late?
>>320003913
It's how they handled most fo4 NPCs so I wouldn't put it past them doing it with the next elder Scrolls
>>320002063
>tfw there will never be a TES game as good as Morrowind
Why live?

This would actually be a good thing. They need to make towns and cities more lively, which is done by making them bigger and add more people. That doesn't mean they should all be named and willing to hold lengthy conversations with you though, and they can just be generic nameless NPCs.
>>320007613
>This would actually be a good thing.
No.
Maybe the city would look bigger, and on first glance would be more lively. But once you actually enter and interact with the city, you'd be notified that this is a video game and those are not real people. It's breaking immersion.
>>320003913
2019 sounds pretty reasonable since there was a 4 year gap between Skyrim and Fallout 4
>>320006412
My first play through was stealth Archer. Seriously, did everyone else also did this?
>>320007913
yes coz its the easit thing to do.
>>320007803
>Play videogame with fictional characters
>you'd be notified that this is a video game and those are not real people
What the actual fuck are you on about? You have some kind of fantasy land in your mind?
>>320002063
>Same engine as Oblivion
>also gamebryo
>>320007803
Agreed.
Oblivion was my favorite partly because of the npcs, they had much better schedules, personalities that actually affected things, and had more dynamic ability in general than skyrim. You never knew 100% what was going to happen.
I don't want robotic npcs that are basically just eye candy.
>>320008305
Is this supposed to be funny because literally none of those are true?
>>320007913
>stealth multiplies damage several times
>the further from the enemy, the easier it is to get off a stealth attack
I always assumed that stealth archer was what everyone played unless they were specifically set on playing a certain build.
>>320008769
You clearly know nothing about the differences between oblivion and skyrim npcs then.
For example in oblivion, some npcs could steal and pickpocket from other npcs if they wanted something and didn't have it in its inventory, I.e food. This was driven by the responsibility trait, something that was stripped away in skyrim.
There's other dynamic, non scripted NPC abilities like this that they could do in oblivion but got taken out of skyrim.
And don't even get me started on schedules, skyrims were so bare bones compared to oblivion.
>>320008769
Skyrims npc's are in no way better than oblivion
>>320002063
Who cares, I'll just pirate the next Bethbortion and have it fixed with mods like the last one.
>>320006412
Why did they make the races so generic and shitty in Skyrim?
I miss the advantage/disadvantages/stat changes/gender differences from oblivion/morrowind.
>>320007913
All Bethesda games push you to be a stealth range character because its the easiest and most rewarding. Fallout 3/4, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim are all like this, Bethesda doesn't know how to make balanced gameplay.
>>320008250
Correction, its been the same since Morrowind.
Why is the desert and the forest at the same latitude as the marsh? why are the marsh and the desert next to each other but there's no geographic reason they should have different climates? Why is Skyrim an arctic climate but morrowind isnt? Why does an island that small have a temperate zone in its centre?
>>320010338
idk why this made me laugh so hard.... fucking that op song
>>320003467
>It should take place in both valenwood and summurset
yes, that's right anon

>The Elder Scrolls VI: Hammerfell
No, it's going to be Skyrim 2. We all know Bethesda is going to shit the bed hard on this one. The next one will be Skyrim 2. No Elder Scrolls, just Skyrim. It will take features away without adding in anything new worth mentioning. It will be Bethesda's best selling game. You have been warned.
>>320010539
Nirn isn't as physical/material a reality as ours, the world is shaped by what people think of it and the laws of nature are ancient dead elf ancestors
>>320002063
in oblivion, did leveling up non-chosen skills increase your level?
>>320010539
Its not Earth, it's Nirn, and it has 2 moons. So I guess that gives different tides and currents. Mix that with the mountain valleys and it gives way to tundras and winter wastelands. I'm literally guessing here.
>>320007913
not me I go the high elf under the apprentice every time baby
>150% weakness to all magic, wear only cloth robes
the game is actually balanced on the normal difficulty setting
>>320011173
>>320010782
CHIM has also been removed for being too exclusive and difficult to understand to CHIM-Challenged players.
>>320011643
Also, the list of skills will be reduced to:
Weapon
Armor
Damage Magic
Healing Magic
Stealth
>>320006412
High rock is more Like Medieval France and Celtic Ireland mixed together not England.
>>320011542

>having racial weaknesses and attributes
Nice try Todd.
>>320012250
The whole point of that image is to be inaccurate
>>320011920
Not even a generic lockpick/stealth/pickpocket skill and acrobatics/athletics skill?
>>320013058
They already got rid of acrobatics and athletics on Skyrim, anon.
>>320013239
For a while I managed to forget.I have 150 or so hours in it too.

>>320002063
bye guys I'm going to go play Daggerfall now
>>320015291
bye bye love
>>320002063
That's a fucking stupid idea op. Taking names away from vilaggers would kill the series. Especially in the eyes of recurring fans.
>>320007397
>>320007613
>>320008085
>>320008769
Oblivion is not only the best entry in the series by a mile. But the NPC interaction absolutely shits on the other games (except maybe morrowind) implying that any fasset of oblivion was bad or worse than skyrim is a shit meme and you are a fat stoopid kuck.
>>320008305
This anon gets it
>>320015291
Would you recommend it?
>>320015291
Have fun going on a stupid quest to kill orcs in some dungeons that takes hours to find your way around and possibly not even spawn the number of targets necessary for the quests or are just completely blocked off thanks to the random generation.
>>320015621
it's one of the coziest, most unique games I've ever played
It's quite a good experience. Play it, and if you don't like it after a little while, try changing up your style in it, it truly does change the game a lot. If you somehow still don't like it, then maybe it's not for you. Still an amazing game to have under your belt
>>320015791
lol fag
>>320015291
>>320015791
Its funny how the guy who did the most comprehensive guide to Daggerfall's dungeons have at the top of his wish list is for Bethesda to make the dungeons much smaller.
>>320015496
>That's a fucking stupid idea op. Taking names away from vilaggers would kill the series. Especially in the eyes of recurring fans.
i know OP is just fucking around but im legitimately scared that happens. Look at FO4, a lot of characters have names like "guard/settler" and you cant really talk to them.
>just fired up morrowind working on my 4th character, over 1000 hours total in the game
>see this
OP stop trying to make me sad. Also we all know it's going to be TES VI:AkaVIr
>>320016138
Fuck my life we missed the signs
No Todd noooooooooo
>>320015791
GET GUD
>>320012250
England is Celtic Ireland mixed with Medieval France.
>>320016138
That was true in FO3 as well to an extent.
>>320015496
The NPC interaction in Morrowind is nowhere near as good as Oblivion. The only good thing about Morrowind's NPCs is that some become non-hostile because of certain factions you are in or how well liked and known you are.

They have to build a new engine first. They can't keep using Gamebyro, right? I mean noone in their right mind would buy a piece of shit on that engine in 2019, right?

You are the target group Bethesda is aiming toward anon.
>>320002310
Levelling enemies was the worst idea ever to be thought up.
>>320017728
you had to realize when oblivion came out, it would eventually be the game 'oldfags' nostalgiad over as a classic perfect rpg, where the later sequels were 'casualized' unlike it.
>>320017728
But Oblivion was the best medium between a good RPG with depth but easy enough to get into. Every subsequent game has continued to go more simplified, but Oblivion is easily the most accessible while still being deep enoujgh for fans of true RPG games

I think Bethesda put them in their game because one of the main criticisms of Morrowind was that it gets boringly easy after a while even though there is still loads of content left for the player to do.
>>320018087
Evidently they didn't listen to the criticism regarding all the leveled enemies in the expacs.
>>320017950
>>320017997
Case in point
>>320018550
I never said it wasn't casualized like if Morrowind never happened, but Oblivion was easy enough to get into while still having appropriate depth.
>>320018087
The answer there is just to make harder enemies. I don't mind small-scale levelling enemies, like varients of one species appearing more often the higher level you get, but just making them all scale removes so much gameplay potential. Like in New Vegas where everyone in Goodsprings tells you not to go North and being the faggot you are you don't listen and killed by Deathclaws. But if you're smart, you can cut out a massive swath of the game and get to New Vegas quickly.
Now imagine all the Deathclaws and Cazadores on the I-15 were replaced with Geckos and Bloatflys at level one.
>>320018748
I kind of agree. I think it has some depth in terms of its world, but gameplay and character interaction isn't crazy deep. I'd I guess agree though that at least dialogue choices aren't crazy bearbones, but in terms of how you interact with the world, and the pace of the main plot(for example, the world levels around you), I would argue those could be deeper.
>>320018087
Yeah it gets easy because you get high level and have all kinds of good loot.
The correct answer is to play a new character and join new factions and explore the rest of the content. There's tons of content, start a new character.
The wrong answer is to dumb down the game with levelled enemies and loot.
