This is the next location for TES right? not another boring human nation?
Also when about do you think we will get an announcement?
>>323029409
Nah, something elsewhere
Skyrim didn't take place in a human nation, though.
Elsweyr would be neat. I want to take down Khajiti Cartel and steal all their moon sugar and skooma.
>>323029518
>Skyrim didn't take place in a human nation, though.
>>323029518
Look Nords are humans as far as out standards go.
>>323029409
Its gonna be Hammerfell or High Rock. Worst part if they set it in Hammerfell the setting would be seen as exotic
>>323029614
Nords are literally referred to in-universe as "Men". This as opposed to "Mer" for the elfshits. Nords and Imperials are about as Human as it gets in high fantasy.
>>323029409
Skyrim again.
I'm betting on the Summerset Isles. The Aldmeri Dominion is almost certainly going to be at war with the Empire again, so we'll probably be some Imperial agent working for the Blades like in Morrowind.
>>323029409
I would love to see the rest of Morrowind at Tes VI. Argonian slave rebellions, Dunmers trying to survive, dominion vs empire struggle etc
>>323029409
that's not hammerfell
they'll never do a game set in a furry province
>not The Elder Scrolls VI: Skyrim II
>>323030029
It'd be like a Fallout game. Morrowind is a wasteland now, after getting royally fucked by the Red Year and Argonian invasion.
Also, Morrowind is a little far removed from the Dominion conflict. There's not enough resources there to warrant the Dominion bothering to encroach, and the Empire doesn't give a fuck either. House Redoran isn't even on the Council anymore because they were to buddy-buddy with the Empire.
>>323030710
>Skyrim 2 : Revenge of the Dwemers
>>323029409
You want to see the Khajiit lore destroyed and the various breeds retconed, all for the sake of easier development? No? Then better pray TES6 takes place in another province.
>>323032902
Weren't the lunar phase variants of catpeople already retconned along with their digitigrade legs?
>>323029409
Oh yes, this is gonna be brilliant
>pPease tell us Mr.Howard, where is TES VI going to take place? Will it be SKyrim again?
>No, its going to take place Elsweyr.
>>323029409
Would be cool.
>>323029409
nope, it's gonna be hammerfell.
Elsweyr'd be cool, but Akaviri would be great. Black Marsh would be nice too, but it's really hard to pull off. It's a massive swamp.
That said, it's bethesda. I expect nothing but disappointment.
I've never played any Elder Scrolls games. Where should I start?
>>323033075
Not that I'm aware of. It was all in Morrowind in-game books and never mentioned again afaik.
And the legs change happened to Argonian as well. Could be either a retcon, although for khajiit it can be explained as a less animalistic breed, or could be just a relatively small change made without really intending to change any established lore for the sake of easier development.
Literally all of these areas are either already included in ESO, or probably will be with future DLC.
I honestly don't think we'll see another single player TES game for a while.
>>323033409
Modded Morrowind if you want a entertaining complex game, with challenge and variety.
Modded Oblivion if you want an easier and less complex version of the above.
Modder Skyrim is you want an easy and shallow game with limited variety, but still entertaining nonetheless.Or if you want porn, this is your best choice.
Essentially, the newer the game is the more streamlined and simplified it becomes. But in any case never play an unmodded version.
It's gonna be Hammerfell because diversity. Fuck I hate niggers
>>323033615
>thinking bethesda cares about ESO
It's an unsuccessful spin-off made by another dev.
>don't think we'll see another single player TES game for a while.
It's gonna take some time for sure. Like all beth games. My bet is in 3-4 years.
>>323033856
>Modded Oblivion if you want an easier and less complex version of the above.
Hey, say whatever the fuck you want but Oblivion had the best quests in the series even if there were so pathetically few of them.
The shittiest quests in the Shivering isles were better than the best quests in Skyrim. Not to mention the brilliant mansion murder party.
>>323033472
>It was all in Morrowind in-game books and never mentioned again afaik.
If I recall correctly, the khajiit pc in Arena is a different, more humanlike moon variant than any of the khajiit in Morrowind-Oblivion-Skyrim. So it's not just text in Morrowind.
Can't wait to find out which province they'll ruin next.
>>323034754
I don't really feel that they ruined Skyrim. I mean sure, they went against the Lore some, but the lore they added was pretty great. However, after seeing the concept art and what COULD have been in the game, and with the shit show that Fallout 4 is, they have definitely lost any loyalty I may have had.
>>323029409
They will ruin Elsweyr, you now it right? Have you seen new Fallout 4?
Better imagine Elsweyr, than see what Bethesda will do to it.
2 voice actors for all khajiits - oh, yes. You want to hear the same voice over and over again? You want to see previous lore butchered for game developer's convenience?
I want to go to every province in one game, and it be playable.Fuck the unchangable keybindings in Arena, as well as lack of mouselook
>>323029514
I want the Khajiit country to be next.
>>323034990
Tbh the worst represented province so far is Cyrodiil. The architecture is supposed to look like a mix of Imperial Roman/Chinese/Japanese and they turned it into medieval Europe, it's like they didn't even try.
>tfw no elder scrolls: high rock

No, there will be only colour and haircut differences. And 1 voice and intonation for all of them. Like all of them have 1 character type.
>>323033615
Seeing as Skyrim came out in 11 and Fallout 4 came out end of 15, and took 4 years, and wasn't made by all the same people, I'd assume a small team has spent the last few years already working on it, and it will be announced end of this year for release early next year or maybe the year after. I wouldn't think more than two years from now we'd be playing it.
And it'll be Hammerfell or Aldmer place, following the way the stories have seemed to progress

>what is Daggerfall?
Hammerfell
>>323039606
Illiac bay which includes 1/3rd of High rocks coastal regions and same amount of Hammerfells coastal region
Daggerfall does not have full Hammerfell or High Rock and if anything it's centered around High Rock more
>>323033615
Bethesda literally does not give a fucking about ESO
Fallout 4 expansions will come out this year and in 2017/2018 we will get next TES
>>323034360
>Hey, say whatever the fuck you want but Oblivion had the best quests in the series even if there were so pathetically few of them.
Oblivion had better quests than majority of all the greatest RPGs ever made, somehow.
>>323033472
both argonians and Khajiit variations are mentioned in Pocket Guide to the Empire and books such as The last Year of the First Era etc. also books related to Khajiit such as Clan Words etc.
Khajiit and Argonian variations are absolutely canon and I know that doesn't say much but even TESO had the decency to include other Khajiit variations (though they initially fucked up by making Senche not Khajiit and just tigers)
Can we try a different continent this time? A Skyrim prequel taking place between Skyrim and the Akaviri nation could be cool

>>323040516
No, Akavir will never ever be done because it has nothing to do with current ongoing plot of TES and it has absolutely different races in it
>>323029409
I would like to have that place where argonians live and make dem argonian females actually good looking.
>>323040603

>>323040603
they were making FO4, im guessing now they are making the expansions for that game, after that they might start developing TES VI if they don't want to do something else, skyrim and FO4 took 4 years so i say 2021 at the earliest
>>323040760
Exactly. They could advertise it as "Two worlds collide" or something and hype up the new races and shit. It would sell extremely well.

>>323041127
I doubt it because
A) Todd has stated in both his Skyrim and Oblivion interview that they believe that the amount of playable races is "perfect" right now
B) Again this has nothing to do with current ongoing plot, most likely it will be set i Hammerfell because it is fucking shit up with Dominion or in Elsweyr and Valenwood to show us perspective from inside of Dominion
SummerSet will not happen because you would be able to play only as an Altmer or a Bosmer at best and there would be no other NPCs there other than Altmer
>>323036672
Only if you side with the empire :^)
>>323029409
>next location for TES
I'm pretty sure I got it right.
No, it'll be Hammerfell. I'd prefer Elsweyr or Summerset Isles, but knowing Bethesda, they'd probably elaborate more on what happened in Hammerfell before Skyrim. You'll probably play as someone who helped repel the Dominion.
so now that even skyrim kids dislike FO4 is Todd suicidal?
>>323041050
Wrong, I have fucking Skyrim concept art and development of Skyrim according to the concept art started wayback in 2007 if not earlier since I might not have all of the Adamowicz concept art.
More importantly Todd himself said that they started as soon as Oblivion got released.
Bethesda just like any other big studio works on multiple projects at the same time and most likely TES VI development started in 2013/2014

No, seriously. It has the best portions of High rock and Hammerfell, I wouldn't even care if the map is only 2x bigger than Skyrim's map, I just want that atmosphere back.
>>323041428
So they keep the number of races the same, except they change what those races are. Make Skyrim NPCs almost all Nords, and gave all the player races come from the other continent.
>>323041791

Never fucking reply to me again in less you are contributing to the thread.
>>323041901
Akavir isn't happening; Bethesda is not going to put in the work required to make another continent and new races with a new story and conflicts.
You'll get Mysterious Akavir again.
>>323041747
well in that case (and i have no idea how much time game development takes) i give it a 2018 at the earliest
>>323041901
seeing as race bonus got aced in skyrim they might as well change it up, but i would like it better if they just brought back RPG elements to race choosing and they can't add t that as it would get unbalanced i belive

>>323033409
Don't start with Morrowind unless you like retro games or are not shy to mod it to make it look more modern. Morrowind has a nice level scale but from like level 1 your going to be weaker than everything until you get up a few levels. Start with Oblivion, if you like it and can take the hit on graphics or mod Morrowind might be alright for you. If you like graphics just start with Skyrim and consider Oblivion. Morrowind was my introduction to the series but it's difficult in a way till you start learning about it then it gets really formulaic like leveled enemies you'll encounter every few steps between towns and other landmarks.
>>323033246
had to read it twice, made me giggle
I would love a valenwood but the terrain seems too uniform, all huge forests which would be cool but ultimately would get old quick
I think the next best option would be summerset isles
>described as "ancient and mysterious land"
>war with aldmeri dominion
>dlc on any number of surrounding islands
>>323042325
they probably would've started planning TES VI during FO4 development so with that in mind and assuming they aren't creating a new engine then it should take about 3-4 years, leaning towards 3 as they've already got the ""next-gen"" engine from FO4.
>>323042914
>http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Imga
>not wanting Valenwood
>>323041747
They absolutely started on pre-production which includes concept art and outlining the story/setting as soon as Skyrim released. But Bethesda's level designers only focus on one project at a time, as they have confirmed in multiple interviews and talks over the years. If Bethesda sticks to the development pattern they've used for over a decade, then TES VI will go into full production once the F4 expansions are finished, just like F4 went into full production after Skyrim's DLC.
>>323042914
Why do people constantly forget that even during the Empires rule there were not more than a thousand non-Altmer allowed on all of the Isles
With current Dominions eugenics and policy literally no one is allowed on the Isles other than Altmer
Hell even Bosmer that are part of Thalmor organization have trouble getting on the Isles
Unless you want a game where literally everyone is fucking Altmer, SummerSet doest fucking work.
>>323033856
>Modder Skyrim is you want an easy and shallow game with limited variety,
I don't get this meme. Skyrim and Oblivion are more alike than they are different in terms of stars. The far, far more stats and features were removed between Morrowind and Oblivion than between Oblivion and Skyrim.
>>323034360
Oblivion had some cool side quests but the main quest line was excruciatingly boring.
>>323043059
same as Skyrim
so it will be 2018 or so
>>323029409
somewhere outside tamriel like atmora
>>323043149
There could be a war. Empire captures the eastern isle. Or it could take place pre-aldmeri dominion but some people may not want to go back in time
Also a thousand seems like a lot for a game like this
>>323043352
Atmora is a frozen barren wasteland
The only reason for wanting Elsweyr is if you are a fucking furfag
I hope they choose summerset isles just to disappoint all the furries

It's not, thousand is in lore number when in lore population of SummerSet Isles probably reaches a million or more considering the fact that it's the single most prosperous and stable region in history of Mundus
Said thousand Imperial politicians or traders were not permanently there either
After eugenics and purge of Thalmor started you can bet your ass that there will be almost no non-Altmer on the Isles, more importantly and the only thing that matters, there will be no non-Altmer in the open, slaves at best and you will have lots of trouble if you do not play as an Altmer.
>There could be a war. Empire captures the eastern isle.
That wouldn't happen unless they make another giant timeskip, even then I have to remind you that Tiber Septim required forces of unified Tamriel and Numidium to invade SummerSet Isles. And if that would happen now you would still have trouble visiting Dominion side of things.
Going back in time is the only option, it wouldn't be too bad and would be somewhat comparable to Morrowind with grand majority being of main race and very few of other races, but as you said yourself people don't like going back in time so again I doubt it.
If you want Dominion regions Valenwood and Elsweyr are a lot more likely especially with how lose the Empire is to them, but again the easiest option would be Hammerfell or HighRock.

>>323043149
You're assuming we're not going to get more info about the time line advancing. The thalmor start to spring up after the oblivion crisis when that floating island showed how fractured the empire was.
That story line practically didn't even get released until years later when they'd been working on Skyrim for a while maybe like a year or two before Skyrim came out.
I'm assuming it's going to take place on summerset but I'm hoping for blackmarsh with Morrowind destroyed the dunmer are either going to try to move into the imperial province, or blackmarsh. The Argonians have been fucking their shit up since Morrowind was wrecked so it's doubtful they'd go against the thalmor and humans in the imperial province instead of trying to push blackmarsh since they have a pretty low opinion of argonians to start with and a rivalry to settle.
Otherwise I'd guess Atmora since it gets so much mention for humans and would have a lot of ruins keeping in pace with daedric/dwemer/ayleid/drago ruins we see in every installment.

I'm partial to Dawnguard myself, because Serena a best.
>>323044563
more like dwemer looking magi-tech spaceships
there is a lore snippet that mentions atherial spaceships in second era
Both the Isles and Reman Empire had them, Summerset Sunbirds and Imperial Moth ships
The only space related thing we have seen in TES was Battlespire which was a spacestation/mage academy on the edge of Mundus and because it was on the edge of Mundus it was easy to create controlled portals to all sorts of Oblivion realms from there
>>323044563
>http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Pocket_Guide_to_the_Empire,_3rd_Edition/Arena_Supermundus
>Visits to Aetherius occur even less frequently than to Oblivion, for the void is a long expanse and only the stars offer portal for aetherial travel, or the judicious use of magic. The expeditions of the Reman Dynasty and the Sun Birds of Alinor are the most famous attempts in our histories, and it is a cosmic irony that both of them were eventually dissolved for the same reason: the untenable expenditures required to reach magic by magicka. Their only legacy is the Royal Imperial Mananauts of the Elder Council and the great Orrery at Firsthold, whose spheres are made up of genuine celestial mineral gathered by travelers during the Merethic Era.

>>323044697
Part of it is wishful thinking, some of it is ignoring the engine limitations and to an extent bethesda does really cool stuff with what they have.
The other part is the lore is fucking nuts mortals rule everything with aedra and daedra fucking around. At this point we might as well argue about CHIM. Personally I think the dragon breaks are not real. Like that book about it predicting the end of the septim line before it happened in the right year the author people say are being sarcastic or ironic but he could of had access to a prophecy from an elder scroll. Muhrune almost tearing the world apart with Oblivion gates and merging the worlds should be so fucking obvious that dragon breaks are not real it's akatosh trying to hold a separation between aetherius and the mortal realm from merging and the aedra/daedra that shape the world getting pulled back into it causing things to change from it happening making time stop existing, like the dwemer were just trying to get through to aetherius when they fucked up with numidium.
>>323045612
I'm not referring to anyone in this thread, but people elsewhere. The same people who complained when they saw dwemer centurions in Skyrim and said that TES never had robots
>>323045364
I don't even play Fallout games
Why do you think that all Fallout and TES players are the same playerbase?
>>323045697
Oblivion with guns!
its going to be valenwood I think, since it requires the least lore changes (the trees and the tower have stopped moving already, so nothing too hard to make or too weird for normalfags is in)
Have you heard about Lord Vivec?
They say he was taken...by the daedra
>>323045130
I agree. The fight in Sovngarde was far too easy compared to the fight at the Throat of the World.
I was expecting a war against a 5x bigger Alduin, with all of the Nord heroes ganging up to take the beast down. Sovngarde itself was rather underwhelming as well. With Alduin there, I expected a soul-cairn-like wasteland, and that once he was defeated, everything would spring back to life.
>>323041268
not that anon but played it on release and hadfunregardless, only really hated the oblivion gates after a while
As much as I'd love to see an elder scrolls game set in Elsweyr, Valenwood or even Black Marsh, I really doubt Bethesda's ability to make them seem as cool as they're portrayed in the lore.
Also, Hammerfell and High Rock aren't that boring, so long as they don't give them the Cyrodiil treatment.
Why does Alduin only attack a settlement once in the Skyrim? He didn't feel like a threat.
>>323045657perhaps i didn't state this correctly
dragon breaks are not the alteration of time
akatosh keeps the separation of aetherius and the mortal realm giving the perception of time to mortals. when this breaks (dragon break) time does not stop the spirits that shape the world start leaking back into it and do not change time but change the world but since akatosh is not separating it there concept of their time is gone and things are changed by the original spirits that shape things seeping back into the world.
The location really doesn't matter too much to me. All I care about is how the overall game will be, and I think we all know what the answer is.
>>323046468
once akatosh re-establishes his control between the barrier separation of the two worlds time starts to take effect to mortals again, but he can't change that the original spirits got in and warped the world in a way. Thus all this happening to the mortal eye looks like a break in time when things changed because they cannot perceive the change happening as it does until akatosh continues to separate the realms like in his agreement with alesia.
>>323029518
Nords were the first humans you fool.
>>323046878
The activation of numinium is a tool to unbound aetherius except the dwemer are bound to it like lurkahns, it's practically an earth bone so they can't escape but resonates enough to cause a break between the realms.
Now that I spoiled TES with my hypothesis I should probably
apply for a real job somewhere.
>>323045657
>Like that book about it predicting the end of the septim line before it happened
No, you misunderstand something
That book is quite obviously written by a person as if he lives in 4th era
more importantly said book again appears in ESO
>he could of had access to a prophecy from an elder scroll.
Even Moth priests that get distorted visions from the Elder Scrolls get dubious non-concrete visions at best, this guy is casually talking about time in which he lives which is after Septim dynasty ends...more importantly Dragonbreaks being real or not real is basically not up for discussion since fucking Warp in The West is a Dragonbreak that we have experienced.
>uhrune almost tearing the world apart with Oblivion gates and merging the worlds should be so fucking obvious that dragon breaks are not real it's akatosh trying to hold a separation between aetherius and the mortal realm from merging and the aedra/daedra that shape the world getting pulled back into it causing...etc.
I...what? Could you re-post that because it's really hard to understand what you are trying to say there buddy.
I also don't think that you quite understand how Daedric Princes or Aedra work, more importantly how Akatosh works for that matter.
>>323046302
I had some fun with it too, but I had already played Morrowind and was versed in Min-maxing, magic being shit in general for combat purposes and endurance>all. The original anon had never played a TES game, there's no need to make his experience miserable by putting him up against daedric clad marauders while he sports a 40 end pure mage.
>>323047450
He was in the 4th century writing about septims ending in the 6th century, he called it correctly. He didn't need access to an elder scroll directly to find out a prophecy from one he could have some connections, the moth priests are not in control of all the scrolls they can't even count how many they have.
>dragon breaks are not the distortion of time, it's when the original spirits that shape the world start to get back into the world and change it more, mortals can't see it changing and it appears to be a break in time until akatosh puts the seperations of mortal and aedra realms in balance and things have been changed.

Dwemer Tonal Architecture has very little to do with Aetherius, from what little lore there is on Tonal Architecture in Morrowind and in Skyrim's quest, Arniel's Endeavor.
That being said what you said is still incorrect because time in reality is non-linear anyway, perception of mortals is all that matters and if to mortals time gets distorted then there is little distinction between it actually getting distorted or not.
And again there is very little doubt about Dragonbreak re-examined being written in 4th era
>The late 3rd era was a period of remarkable religious ferment and creativity. The upheavals of the reign of Uriel VII were only the outward signs of the historical forces that would eventually lead to the fall of the Septim Dynasty. The so called "Dragon Break" was first proposed at this time, by a wide variety of cults and fringe sects across the Empire, connected only by a common obsession with the events surrounding Tiber Septim's rise to power -- the "founding myth", if you will, of the Septim Dynasty.
It's written fully in past tense and it's written by Fal Dorn who is a scholar, this is obviously meant to be a study of past hypothesis on nature of time and Akatosh, I honestly can't imagine how Dragonbreak re-examined can not be read as something written in future and readable in past.
>>323047981
Dwemer tonal architecture has EVERYTHING TO DO with aetherius where do you think they were trying to escape to? they thought they could get to the realm of the higher spirits that sacrificed their power to create the world. They were trying to cause a rift to reach magnus' realm.
>>323030009

Nigger
He clearly states that Septim Dynasty ended with the third era
>>323048526
Their goal has nothing to do with how they achieve their goal
And they were not trying to create a rift, they were trying to create a fucking Brass God that could do everything they wished for, including unmake Mundus, reshape Mundus or go to Aetherius, hell rehsape Aetherius if they wanted to.
I like interpretation that Tonal Architecture is about Aurbical manipulation on a higher level than that of Aetherius.
>>323049208
Yeah you're right almost right but I think you're over reaching. They were building something to get to a realm where they thought they'd have the power to reshape it. Which is aetherius the realm magnus and the other spirits went to. They were trying to become those aedra because they thought they could reshape it without sacrificing themselves like the originals escaping to those realms did to avoid losing themselves in some ironic twist and getting bound to numidium as a quasi earth bound going full circle. I really hope the next ES settles this.
>>323032902
Basically this.
Cyrodil turned into generic woods. Skyrim was Skyrim, but given that it was all tundra and northern Europe in the lore, there wasn't too much butchering there.
By Elsweyr is full of very foreign and interesting lore and if they were going to do it, they'd have to get back to operating with tribal societies that have a strong sense for ancestry and descent, and that would take effort. We'd lose all the Khajiit breeds and likely a ton of other things that make Khajiit kind of a neat and amusing race. Any lore they've hinted about in the past that you want to see fleshed out would likely be presented in a cameo form that unsatisfactorily wraps everything up like mitichlorians explained the Force.
The last time we had a Elder Scrolls game with a land that felt "weird" and "different" was Morrowind, and since then they've cut a ton of the magic and mysticism. You don't want an Elswyr game if you like the lore about the Khajiit.
>>323041483
Close!
It's going to be a prequel to Oblivion in Cyrodiil
>>323049648
>as a quasi earth bound
like lorkhan*
damn I'm drunk forgot to add that
numidium was an ironic twist they were stuck there with nimidium as an earth bone
>>323029409
It's gonna take place in a humanoid dominated region that vanilla gamebryo can display, made out of stock props and speedtrees. Or the lore will be rewritten to fit it. Remember how Cyrodiil was supposed to be a roman jungle empire?

No, no. Anon. You can hold unlimited items in TES VI. And you can have one melee weapon, bow, and spell in your quickslot. The game will actively require you to use all three on a regular basis.

Implying the dwemers aren't going to come back and be generic Tolkien style dwarves. They went into hiding because of a robot revolt, but now they're back and they bring warning. Robots have been disguising themselves as flesh and blood Men and Mer, and it's up to you to stop them. But maybe their intent isn't evil? Maybe a mechanical man is no different than a flesh and blood one?

Todd calm down, we're just having a giggle. about things that could go terribly wrong. My whole post about unlimited arrows and shit was just making fun of Fable III.
>>323052751
Well it really won't be. Bethesda hasn't released anything "fun and amazing" on launch in a while. Usually the practical thing is to wait for the "game of the year" version with all the DLC built in and then install all the mods people made to fix the frequent crashing and lack of variety.

What suggest we would go to Elsweyr? Nearly every other region has something exciting going on at the moment aside from Elsweyr. You've got the Argonian invasion and destruction of Morrowind, the possible collapse of the empire in Cyrodil, the political unrest of Hammerfell, etc. etc.
>>323052910
lol man i already told you im not being paid to write this shit. fucking in an age where everyone says they are desensitized to everything at least words from my childhood at the dinner table getting thrown around still trigger people.
I fucking hope not because Elsweyr has the potential to be the most interesting province. After the fucking disgrace that Fallout4 is I would rather have the Elder Scrolls series in the hands of literally anyone else.

Yeah, the moons disappeared for like 40 years and fucked up their breeding cycles and shit, if TES6 is Elsewhere then that's the excuse you're going to get for only seeing the regular cat people instead of battlecats and shit.
>>323053843
I wouldn't
>>323029409
they already announced its going to be the black marsh
Thing about the next elders scrolls game is that normalfags will expect them to make a game bigger and better than Skyrim. How do you top Dragons? Do you just keep them in? Make up some bullshit about how they spread to the rest of Tamriel?
>>323053843
elder scrolls has already been ruined with Elder Scrolls Online.
>>323053709
Have it take place during the Void Nights when the moons disappeared from the skies. Except this will never happen because Bethesda is fucking retarded and constantly has to have their games take place 200 years later for some reason

>>323034631
The moon phase thing in Morrowind was a retcon to explain why the Khajiit races in Arena/Daggerfall look like people.
Same with some Argonians being born looking less like lizards.
>>323054376
doesnt matter
if they didn't tell you it was 200 years later you wouldn't know the difference. Bethesda said they will never go backwards in time which is a shame because all the interesting lore takes place in between the games.
they're hacks and can't do anything imaginative or creative.
>>323054586

It might have been the last time they had a truly demonic foe who felt somewhere on your level and inextricably tied to you.
Oblivion went ahead an made an NPC the true hero of the game, and to make up for it you later get to go on and simply become the mad god himself by kicking his ass in his own material plane. There wasn't a lot to ground the player to the conflict or to real us in, and when your enemies are the daedric lords who should be able to blow your head into pieces with the merest thought, it's pretty pointless to try to immerse yourself. You win because it's programmed that way, and they don't even bother to make those powers feel insurmountable to you. In fact, I think you can run up and bash Mehrunes in the toe if you want. Can't kill him, but you can be retarded at him.
The in Skyrim you had the World Eater, who was one of creatures in that game who's level scaling was a fucking mess. If you got too strong he was less threatening than the local fauna. Plus the town guards, being a naturally higher level than you, could fell dragons easily when they attacked any town, so obviously they were an expensive nuisance more than a world threat. Then the vampires were just regular assholes who couldn't go out during the day. They could transform into winged assholes who couldn't go out during the day. Finally, you had Apocrypha, which was actually really cool, but again you lost your grounding because all the Deus Ex Machina stuff.
Elder Scrolls keeps throwing gods at us and I think the writers need to understand that it really isn't making the stories better. The bad guys need to be dangerous wizards, or liches, or warlocks, or just something that doesn't innately control reality in key ways.

>SummerSet will not happen because you would be able to play only as an Altmer or a Bosmer at best and there would be no other NPCs there other than Altmer
Aldmeri Dominion rules most of Tamriel in the next game, most races are slaves and in labor camps. You start out as part of a multi-racial prison break. Sure, plenty of Altmer but Morrowind had shit tons of Dunmer and that only made it better.
>>323042878

>>323055943
Yeah. He kept showing up to cock block you whenever you killed a dragon, and that made him feel more involved than Alduin.
>>323054809
There isn't even a combined 50 years across the first 4 elder scrolls games.
Anything that happens between the games is extremely minor and might be hinted at, or be the backdrop for the game, but ultimately isn't much.
Skyrim is the first to make such large leap, and it fits fine. All the events hinted at seem to come up in game in one way or another.
>>323055379
>implying they need our ideas
They probably already have the changes they want planned and chances are they're terrible in a way we can't foresee.
Hammerfell has been constantly hinted at, not because "muh diversity" but because it will link to either the solution or advancement in the Thalmor War storyline.
To the South you'll have Jungles
To the North you have Betnihk and Bangkorai which have a Breton population
Even further to the North you have Orsimer which will most likely be an expansion.
Central is littered with endless tombs, bandit camps, caravans and nomadic tribes.
Hammerfells coastline is a trading hub so it actually makes sense to play another race then the regional.
Hammerfells coastline is also swarmed by pirates.
Not only that but Hammerfell and the Alik'r deals with alot of crime and necromancers
Also it's no coincidence the final enemy of the game is a Redgaurd who by rights should have been a Nord
>>323056253
