SWEET LITTLE TRUTHS:
http://au.ign.com/articles/2016/06/13/e3-2016-bethesda-is-working-on-the-elder-scrolls-6
... how is this news? Of course they're working on a new Elder Scrolls game. Did you think that after TESO aborted that Bethesda were just giving up on their cashcow?
>Valenwood
pls no. Fuck elves.
>>341121486
I feel like the fact that there WILL BE a TES:VI is kind of needless. It would pretty much inevitably happen.
It's just a question of 'when?'.
And given Bethesda's tendency to constantly push forward development schedules and release half-finished games, it's probably been in development since Fallout 4's was released.
Reminder that they'll be using the same engine they made Oblivion with.
>>341121486
Just curious. Will the current gen port of Skyrim support town mods on console?
>>341122750
they'll NEVER pull it off anyway.
it's gonna be Hammerfell, black people being WE WUZ SAMURAIS N SHIIET sells like hot cakes right now, and with Redguards it's actually canon.
>Share. Fus Ro Duh
>>341123785
*morrowind
>>341124281
I want hammerfell though
>>341122750
>Fuck elves
I'm trying
Eh we probably won't be alive by the time it is even announced
>>341122750
Not to say I wouldn't prefer somewhere else myself, but I am curious where you'd like to go?
We've covered Cyrodiil, Skyrim, Daggerfall (okay, admittedly not all of Hammerfell), and Morrowind...
So we've got High Rock (which would feel too samey to Cyrodiil if you ask me), Summerset, Elsweyr, Black Marsh, and Valenwood.
Some people do suggest since Elsweyr and Valenwood are kind of small, they could be done together.
Alternatively, we could go right off of Tamriel and start looking at Akavir.
>>341124281
I hate the Kangz meme as much as the next person but I still think Hammerfell would be cool. Also the redguard were not the original inhabitants.
>>341125015
don't be so fatalistic anon
>>341124750
why are her feet so tiny in proportion to her body? driving me nuts
>>341125176
yeah I know but I hate waiting and the only rpgs I enjoy are bethesdas
>>341122750
But anon, where better to kill elves than their home?
>>341123785
arena*
>>341121486
I don't mind if it's still several years to go, if that means not rushing it out the door like they did with Skyrim for 11/11
Dubs and its a redguard we wuz kangz story.
>>341125780
Elven foot binding
WHERE IS MY FUCKING ARGONIAN SWAMPS TODD?
>>341121486
It's gonna be a terraformed black marshes
At least that's where it seems to land at
save my comment because I know I'm right
I hope you enjoy hist and akavari and shit
I'd like to see Valenwood/Elsweyr for VI and Summerset for VII
>Valenwood
>Almost uninhabitable rainforest with ticks the size of men that prey on sleeping people
>Temples where wood elves commit mass sudoku to invoke nature spirits that disintegrate all living things in sight
>Capital is a giant multi-tiered tree that wanders around the province
Please don't screw this up Bethesda.
>>341125786
If I weren't much in the same boat, I'd say you're making me sad.I also enjoy Bioware but those feel a bit less like RPGs and more like visual novels in many ways.Tali route was overrated.
>>341125780
Elven feet are tiny because they were original avians and spent most of their time flying with the aid of magic. Their weight is still significantly less than most other humanoids and small levels of inherit magic in their blood make them only lighter, thus their lower legs suffer from some bad developmental atrophy.
Some elven kingdoms have worked to correct this with royally mandated leg-days.
>>341125151
To be quite honest, I would prefer Elsweyr myself, especially since, as mentioned, we've done hammerfell (well, daggerfall), but Hammerfell probably would offer all the options Bethesda would like for a popular game:
>Swordsinging replaces shouts
>Dwemer Ruins
>Just Exotic enough to be cool but not so much its unfamiliar
>Human default protagonist
>Black to appeal to SJWs
Not to say I would mind too much, I was just left severely wanting in the two Elsweyr areas of TESO. Out of, like, six areas of the Dominion. (and three of them were Valenwood)
>>341125086
I've always facepalmed at how artificially detached Vvardenfell is just because the entirety of Morrowind was too technically taxing to render at the time.
>>341125780
small soles are better for footjobs.
With the amount of "we have the technology yet it's a very long time away" makes me think it's going to be all of tamriel or more likely all of akivir
>>341127429
The very first thing you find out is that the capital is rooted in place. "We felt like just standing still for a while." Not even a result of whatever cataclysm.
>>341128206
"We don't have"
>>341128206
or, you could look at bethesda's release history and realize that bethesda usually takes 3-4 years between games and since fallout 4 was only 6 months ago, we have a long wait ahead no matter what.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethesda_Game_Studios#Games_developed
one of the reasons that they didnt a quick remaster of skyrim was to give TES fans something newish to work with while they wait. it's been 5 years since skyrim and will be a minimum extra 2 years until TES 6.
Will there be lots of cannibalism?
>>341124281
Hammerfell is is like the middle-east of Tamriel, if anything the representation is accurate.
Badly meme'd.
>>341129068
duh
>>341125086
only the top third of Blackmarsh is inhabitable by non agrarians due to air born sentient tree posion
It's gonna be shit anyway why do you even care so much
>>341129480
i've loved every TES game that I've played, even "shitty" ones like oblivion.
>>341127885
Apparently the lore excuse is that Vvardenfel used to just be sea but Red Mountain's eruptions formed a volcanic island over time. The Heart of Lorkhan which formed Red Mountain was originally cast into the sea so it makes some sense.
>>341127429
>>341128345
in TESO they handled it by saying the tree moves around more via teleporting.
Of course, it's now lost in the Warp somewhere it seems and you never fucking see it even if there's another multi-tier tree village (Elden Root)
>>341128206
>all of Tamriel
Soo, full reboot of the Elder Scrolls series starting with Arena?
>>341121486
>implying it won't be Hammerfell
>>341127429
Just like Cyrodiil was supposed to be a jungle.
How can you even believe they won't fuck it up?
>>341129480
I can't
I've spent 12 years discussing lore of the series and it's part of my identity
I became concept artist because of MK's shitty Morrowind scribbles
I just can't not get excited for TES
>>341126252
pac-man*
>>341124750
Why can't elves be real?
>>341130076
That was Ken Rolston's fault
Jungle could have been a thing but that cock munching 80 year old fuck was like
>Hey, LOTR is popular, lets make Oblivion like that
And I know he was there since Arena and all that but he was too "oldschool" with his views of the setting and never liked stranger stuff in TES.
>>341122750
But a Valenwood game centered around a Wood Elf rebellion against the Thalmor would be based as hell. Part way through the game, the Wood Elves start a Wild Hunt to drive the Thalmor out, and the "dragon encounters" of the game will be horrifying monsters of all different types.
>>341129598
>Oblivion
>shitty
How can anyone think that? Baffles me sometimes, Oblivion was far more fun than Skyrim overall especially if you include shivering isles. Spellmaking may not have been Morrowind good but it was still very solid.
>>341122750
i want the game where i can finally genocide the aldmeri dominion
I'll kill each and every one of those cunts one by one with my bare hands
>>341130626
We both know they decided to make it a wasteland so it doesn't run like utter shit on every system, let alone consoles.
>>341129426
>implying the main character won't be the Histborn.
>>341131071
It could have easily been same shit but with palms instead of trees. The trees were unique from Morrowind and had custom animations.
it's not about lush Jungle at all, any Jungle could theoretically work.
It's the same reason why Colovnian and Nibenese cultures are nonexistant in Oblivion, because Ken Rolston was like
>Hey, people being tattoed and wearing silly hats is SILLY! And we can't have blood thirsty imperials, that would be EVIL!
problems go beyond jungle with Cyrodiil
Fuck this franchise. It's dumbed down, sold out, trivialized. they will continue to suck dry the fanbase until it's complete shit.
>>341130736
>oblivion
>good
The game is fundamentally broken without mods with its scaling and leveling system. The dungeon and world design outside of shivering isles was also kaput. Some of the quests were pretty good, and the magic system wasn't as shit as Skyrim's, but that's about all it has going for it.
>>341125086
It will be in Akavir because Todd can cash in on weeblords, do a perfect clean slate since he can make up anything plus do the VI:AkaVIr marketing hype.
Gaiz, the one tamriel thing is just beta testing...
for THE ELDER SCROLLS
all tamriel map, infinity strain of dlc packs. Done with single player, they will settle on various elder scrolls genres, with exlusive account cosmetics, blizzard-style

>copy and paste dungeons
>cyrodil was supposed to be a jungle but ends up being a generic fantasy world
>terrible oblivion gate shit
>level scaling
>pain in the ass to mod
>models look like literal ass
>three voice actors
it was a pretty bad game outside a few quest lines

>>341124750
>elves

>>341121486
>au
>>341131771
i feel like "sucking this franchise dry" would mean bethesda releasing a TES game every year, like what Ubisoft does to Far Cry or EA does to Battlefield or Activation does to Call of Duty.
I don't think releasing a new Elder Scrolls every 3-5 years constitutes "sucking dry". Hell, It'll probably be an 8 year gap between Skyrim and TES 6
>>341124750
Oh god the porn mods.
Finally can set up a dungeon for those entitled elf shits to live in.
>>341132145
It's pretty safe to assume that there will never be a game set on Akavir as it's mainland.
Who knows but still, all the devs that ever talked on Bethforums said that basically there will never be Akavir game and it's there to be a mystical land that you never go to.
>>341130669
>>341130887
See, if I were in charge of the next TES, I'd probably make it something like:
>Side with Empire
>Side with Dominion
>Fight for an independent province under its traditional leaders
>Fight to put yourself in charge
I then realized this basically would mean it would be TES: New Vegas.But would that be bad?
>>341128345
Tree stopped moving already.
>>341130736
>Oblivion was my first TES game when I was 8
Thanks for your worthless opinion kiddo.
>>341131834
If we go to Akavir does that mean we get new races and spells art direction? I am down for east asian inspired stuff.
>>341129426
other races have and do live in blackmarsh retard, marching an army in their though is the equivalent to marching into sub Saharan Africa before quinine
>>341124281
But Redguards are pretty neat.
In other news water is wet
>>341132193
i CALL IT AN EARLY SHITPOST
>>341128345
It ALREADY doesn't move retard.
>>341129758
>>341129758
>Soo, full reboot of the Elder Scrolls series starting with Arena?
that's something I'd really like to see, I really want a game where the only "you can't go that way" borders are at the very edges of the ocean on the whole continent, I wanna go fuckin EVERYWHERE
I guess the problem with that is, how to do the story
I have a few things I think would work out
>chronological mode
you start with the earlyist game canonically, which was.. daggerfall or something wasn't it? I can't remember, wasn't it something about the war where the dwemer disappeared themselves? anyway, start at that one, and when you complete that story you unlock the next chronological game in the series
this avoids events just not existing, like the nerevarine not having fucked red mountain before you go to oblivion and skyrim, etc
>timelord mode
everything is enabled at once, but the time differences are just ignored, maybe there's a handwavey explanation like there's rifts in time you can cross, but who the fuck cares, you can go everywhere and it's just like someone has sewn the games and dlc together at the edges
downsides are none of the regions have cross-the-borders quests because time fuckery, i guess
>same time mode
every region is locked in a canonical age that's the same over everything and everythnig works together
downside is they have to come up with new stories
>>341132425
Aren't all the towers also on Tamriel? Akavir doesn't matter that much on the cosmic scale. Maybe that's why they've tried to establish themselves on Tamriel a few times
>>341127429
>Capital is a giant multi-tiered tree that wanders around the province
If you believe this will be implemented in an open world game by any dev, let alone Bethesda, you're delusional.
>>341127429
Nope. It's a generic forest with goblins. Elves are good guys. Bad guys are some daedric god not being cool and daedric, just being a generic devil thing.
BUT WE LOVE PLAYER CHOICE!
>>341132471
my ideal is definitely
>Empire questline, save the world
>Dominion questline, destroy the towers and fuck the world
>Yes Man kill everyone and take the world for yourself
>>341133235
We don't actually know.
There has never been a set amount of towers other than out of game speculation.
Tosh Raka mantled Akatosh though and became an immortal Dragon King...so they have some metaphysical knowhow.
>>341127885
That happens in real life, idiot. You've never heard of volcanic caldera? The Vvardenfell volcano is located above a massive magma pool that collapsed, forming a circular deperssion around the mountain. It's geology 101.
>>341133104
>you start with the earlyist game canonically, which was.. daggerfall or something wasn't it?
Arena.
That was the one where you actually could go to all provinces and why I mentioned it. Also the very first game.
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Arena:Arena
Unless you don't count it because Khajiit are humans with facial tattoos and argonians look like Rob Zombie Music Video characters.
>>341132425
atmora, yokuda [remnants], Pyandonea, the imperial islands not on tamriel [Cathnoquey, Roscrea (side note totally missed opportunity for a skyrim dlc here), Esroniet, Yneslea] or Thras. hell we could leave Nirn all together and travel planes of Oblivion
>>341133438
I don't see any problem with it
just make it a big model that moves on its own, and to enter the city is a scene transition, as unfortunate as that would be for not seeing everything moving around you from inside it, it would still work
>>341132585
>new races
>implying
The snake men are basically men in snake armor
The tiger people are basically reskinned Khajiit
The monkey people are basically Rieklings
The snow demons are basically snow yetis
>>341125780
Houtengeki isn't a feet guy.
>>341125086
elsweyr is larger then vvardenfal
>>341133847
>Atmora
Literally a frozen wasteland, only some giants here and there.
>Yokuda remnants
Sword Isles, they are not that big from what I know, if anything it would work better as a DLC for Hammerfell game.
> the imperial islands not on tamriel [Cathnoquey, Roscrea (side note totally missed opportunity for a skyrim dlc here), Esroniet, Yneslea] or Thras
Again, not that big.
>hell we could leave Nirn all together and travel planes of Oblivion
You know this will never happen, Daedric planes are too strange for most people for there to be a game 100% set in one.
>>341133838
they explained the khajiit thing away though because moons, didn't they?
speaking of, I'd love to see a shitload of variation on what you could be as a khajiit
come to think of it, depending on what you choose it would be neat to see the game generate a canonical birthday for your character, but that's just a side thought I had
>"That sounds like you don't even have the technology."
What is Todd planning?
Multi-level tree cities and moving city?
Imagine Dark Messiah combat with vine swinging.
>>341134456
Would be hard to play as Cathay or Pahmar for example
Their are sentient and Cathay are really powerful mages but they can't talk
>>341132290
sadly, the time between releases is no indication of quality. they might have a smaller team. or maybe they are just wasting resources. there were 4 years between morrowind and oblivion and they wasted their time on graphics and dumped a lot of gameplay. morrowind took 4 years as well for your information.
I don't say morrowind is good by todays standards, but they took some wrong turns since then.
>>341134456
meant to add
>a canonical birthday for your character, or the other way around, generate a character based on a birthday you choose
>>341125086
Black Marsh would be boring and lizards don't sell like Vikings.
They already have most of Summerset Isles in ESO, and it's too small anyway for a standalone game.
It's either they do Valenwood+Elsewyr or they go back to Cyrodiil or Hammerfell, or even Morrowind proper.
>>341133557
Actually, in my more elaborated idea for a TES:VI would be like:
>Each faction has corruptive and idealistic aspects
>For the Dominion, it's the Thalmor, for the Empire it'sThe Daedric cultism the Empire's picked up because cutting deals with Molag Bal, Merunes Dagon, and the like are the only way they've been able to take on The Dominion, etc.
>You can either root out the corruptions and bring them back to a lighter glory
>Or you can side with the corruptive aspects.*
All to let the player feel like, even if they're not leaders of a faction (in three out of four) they still do have influence over it's future.
*Siding with the Thalmor or Daedric cultists will end with your character getting sacrificed in a ritual to cause the end of the world because you're a fucking idiot to think you can be a complete asshole and damn creation without consequence.
>>341134806
Isn't there already kind of a range for your birthday based on the sign you chose?
>impyling Todd won't troll the world in 2017 by doing TES VI: Moderate Redguards
>[thinly-veiled ISIS music in the background]
>[sound of groaning camels and horses]
>ALLAHU ACKBAR
>Hello there Imperial, can you see my curved sword?
>Shouts rebranded as Hoonding
>>341127039
elves confirmed evolved version of chinks
>>341125086
Geography is subjective in these game. According to that map walking from the Imperial city to Anvil would be roughly the same as crossing all of Skyrim if they were proportionate, and from having played Oblivion just yesterday I can tell you that is clearly isn't
>>341122961
>And given Bethesda's tendency to constantly push forward development schedules and release half-finished games, it's probably been in development since Fallout 4's was released.
They won't start full, as in actual development till November of next year, or whenever they release the final dlc for Fallout 4. They always have started full development after the dlc cycle is done with the current game since like oblivion.
>>341124281
Redguards are the only non cucked human race and managed to defend Hammerfell from Aldmeri Dominion while Cuckodil and Cuckrim were taking it up the ass.
>>341134761
I think morrowind is great, but I think there are some definite flaws that people defend for the wrong reasons
when I see people complaining about attacks missing all the time, people always defend it like "well you didn't put your stats right" but I don't think an attack should ever outright miss because of a dice roll, unless it's a very rare event, but even then, if you'rte swinging a sword directly AT them it shouldn't miss
here's what I would do: no misses as long as you actually hit them with the damn hit box, but the lower your stats are, the shttier damage you do, so you're not sitting there for hours missing the same enemy and wishing you were dead
>>341135531
>human
Casual TES fans are the worst
>>341122750
Hey now, Valenwood's got some pretty ideas and fucking moving tree cities (granted Beth acknowledges the best reason to use this area), and if annexed with Elsweyr and Summerset Isles, gives us more than just one landscape-type to move around in. Either this or all of Akavir (fat chance) would be my most-requested hopes for TES VI.
>>341124281
Only bonus of using Hammerfell would be the architecture and possibility of cannons and gunpowder being added to the boring Medieval armory. Fuck, I'd almost take modern-inspired Dwarven repeating firearms if it'd make the combat more enjoyable, since actual melee-branching is less likely to happen.Yeah, I prefer any mage or magic-based setups as you can tell. More staves and weird-ish mage weapons would be nice.
>>341135295
I'm pretty sure bethesda developers have mentioned that in-game map sizes are not necessarily indicative to how large a region is supposed to be in-universe/the lore.
Tamriel is supposed to be the size of the continental united states or australia, but clearly, that's not the case when we play it in-game.
The only game that's been accurate, as I understand, is Daggerfall where the in-game world is something like 400 square miles.
>>341134456
It really would be, but the only playable Khajiit would be like Suthay, Cathay, possibly Dagi, and their Rhat variations.
Alfiq, Seneche, and Pamar are basically actual felines.
>>341134674
Can't other Khajiit talk to and understand them?
would be cool to have like a full Seneche Coimpanion/mount (if you're playing a khajiit or got an enchantment to understand khajiit, he talks too)
>>341135154
I like that way of going about it, but I'm really torn at having the game actually end
I guess on the one hand people prefer a proper ending to the game, but on the other hand, I love letting the game keep going until I'm dawn-magic levels of powerful no matter what ending I choose
but I know that that's the main reason why the world NEVER gets any interesting changes done to it, they want to leave all of the options open so you can DO EVERYTHING
at the same time that I like that, I also think it's stupid, and I don't think I would mind a game where if you do X storyline, you fuck up your chances to do Y event, or you accidentally destroy an entire town or some shit (they can just make it so if you fuck something up, any related quests are immediately removed from your quest book like in new vegas, but they shouldn't TELL the player like they did in NV, cause that always made me go "ah fuck what did i do now")
>>341132057
it had the shivering isles tho
>>341135985
You're right, in the lore they're actually superior to all the human races.
>>341132423
>Finally can set up a dungeon for those entitled elf shits to live in.
Not the porn, but I always wanted a comfy game where you can are a generic dark lord who traps and defeats heroes in his castle while conquering the world, summoning apocalypse scenarios and kidnapping the love of their life.
Remove elf, elf genocide best day of my life.
>>341135985
Anon Bethesda will NEVER play the Redguard's aren't human/elves card because then people will start shouting "muh racism".
Is Skyrim fun to play, or is it only good as a modding hobby / rape simulator?
>>341136350
>but I'm really torn at having the game actually endThat's just salt in the wounds though. Any other ending besides Daedric or Thalmor, the post-game is like with FO4 or Skyrim where you can keep going about your life. But if you pick those two, you effectively fucked yourself out of any post-game content.I'm kind of a moralfag dick and feel likw players who want to be full murderhobo assholes in their playthrough, while being free to do so, deserve to be fucked over horribly for such choices.
>>341136326
suthay was the one in skyrim and tojay was the one in morrowind, right?
I can't remember what they looked like in oblivion because it's been too long since I've played it
>>341136690
They are humans from another timeline.
>>341135573
the problem with this is spells. especially AoE spells. how would you miss that?
the funny thing is, people wouldn't complain if you would roll a dice for 10-15 dmg or 1-5 dmg. but when it is 0 dmg they go nuts. it's just a graphics issue, get over it.
I really want some gameplay aspects back, that make me think. or at least ponder.
like, how do I use my Azura's Star soulgem best?
how do I get rid of the negative effects of enchanted items?
how can I use this item that requires xx strength?
>>341124281
I like hammerfell/redguards
>>341136749
It's really not. Not does it have the thrill of exploration like previous titles did. Every location is a draugr cave or locked down until you get the quest to go there, in which a giant quest marker leads you directly there.
My Ideal TES
>Hammerfell and Orsinium
>DLC that goes to either a portion/all of valenwood(unlikely) or summerset isle
>Pirate kangz team up with green mountain kangz to fight off the bitch elves
A plot like
>in the late fourth era tamriel was shattered politically after the civil war in skyrim. The provinces of Skyrim, Hammerfell, High Rock, Morrowind, and Black marsh all suceded from the empire and the Aldmeri Dominion has replaced the Emperor as the main form of power
>now you have found your way in high rock as a prisoner, like all TES games
>you utterly end up playing a role in whether hammerfell fights off the invaders or is taken by the elves
>no chosen one shit, no shouts, kind of like Oblivion in the sense that you're just there.
But of course its bethesda so
>defining main character trait is that he can learn all that redguard sword magic shit whether or not he's a redguard
This could at least begin to salvage what skyrim did to the lore. Another acceptable thing would be
>you cause the meta of the game to stop existing by doing what the dwemer did and "waking up" ending the dream that is Nirn and in turn the TES series
>>341136690
Who are Redguards then you fucking nigger?
>>341121486
I understand why they chose Valenwood. As much as I thought it would be Elsweyr, having the majority of dialogue in the game be in Khajiit speak would probably get annoying fast.
>>341133983
Implementing it is not the issue here. It's that it's too unique and complicated for the mouth breathing fans of Skyrim.
>>341130414
>early vidya
>engines
Nah, shit was programmed straight for that game. Little code was reused like you would for a modern game or for a sequel.
>>341125786
>the only rpgs i enjoy are bethesdas
jesus christ you have bad taste
>>341136861
ah, I see, it's more personal preference
I can understand that, but I think I'm more on the side of letting people be as evil as they want while still not removing their ability to play, I suppose, just for the benefit of emergent gameplay
though siding with the aldmeri dominion and destroying the towers would LITERALLY destroy the world, so I can see why THAT would be a hard ending to the game, maybe that can be the legitimate "this is a point of no return" quest that permanently fucks your save and you have to load an earlier one

>>341136749
It's pretty much only good for the waifus once you get bored of running in the snow and fighting dragons.

>>341136892
I'd love to see more in-depth enchanting mechanics, I felt like skyrim's magic overall was kind of disappointingly simple, not BAD per se, but just simplified
I really liked being able to make your own spells because you could craft the shit as powerful as you wanted it
I love games where if you abuse the systems you can become a god, but the base level is simple enough where if you only want "fireball" "fire storm" "incinerate" etc, they';ve already been pre-made for you by npcs and you can buy them and be on your way, but they're still tied in with the magic crafting system and you can make more powerful ones yourself with enough practice
>>341136749
It's a mod platform that looks pretty or gives you a boner. You'll probably see all the cool shit in your first 40 hours so you should install mods to keep playing.
>>341137768
It'll be heavily modified Fallout 4 engine at best.
>>341136875
I know about the whole Redguards and their ability to avoid getting their shit pushed in by Alduin at the end of a Kalpa, but I remember there was a thing going around saying Redguards aren't men because their ancestor's isolation to other wanderer Ehlnofey.

They ported Skyrim to PS4/XB1 to test if the engine worked on current gen. They're basically just enabling some new engine effects and selling it on. Remastering Oblivion would have required actual effort on their part.

Nostalgia-wise? Maybe. Business-wise? New textures and porting Fallout 4 effects was far less time-consuming than completely redoing a game and involves the highest-selling game.

Dumb
I think we're at the point where mods have ruined this community so much that nothing Bethesda comes out with is going to satisfy people.
>>341138487
from Pocket Guide to the Empire, yes.
>>341133768
Except it's nowhere near that natural looking. It looks very clearly like it was cut out of the landmass.
Also I'm not wrong. They literally did this just so they could justify not having the entirety of Morrowind in the game, because it was too big.
>>341137612
I get what you're getting at, but my philosophy has always been, if you make it, they will c(u/o)m(/e)
IE it doesn't REALLY matter what you make, because people that actually care about the series will like it, and adjust to accomodate
>>341135420
You have to be aware that Bethesda is bigger now than they were before. In the last 8 months or so Bethesda has grown from a relatively small studio into a giant with 4 different offices if I'm not mistaken.
BUT WILL THERE BE SPEARS?
>>341121486
That explains what Todd meant as "lacking the technology"
They don't actually have the ability to generate miles of detailed forest.
>>341136865
I'm actually not sure either. Would be sort of nice to play a digitigrade walking khajiit again though as long as we aren't screwed out of foot armor and such. Mostly just for variety really.
Continuing a bit of my rotundness windbaggery on my ideal TES game:
>Set in Valenwood and Elsweyr
>Empire's begun making some surprising gains against the Dominion (like, how the fuck did this happen?The current Emperor broke a deal with Daedra.)
>Valenwood and Elsweyr are both split on Empire, Dominion, their traditional leaders, and even some support various powerful warlords cropping up. (hint int)
>Once you break free from jail (because you always start in jail), youcan immediately turn 360 and walk away from the civil war rehash plot
>Except if you DON'T get involved, the war will eventually be decided and it might not be how you want it to go. (Or, even if the faction you like wins, their NPCs won't treat you with much respect.) Because the world does not revolve completely around the player character.
>In fact, if you don't join someone will step up and fill YOUR PLACE as the hero of the factions
>And if you do join, the other factions will still have their champion who you will inevitably fight.
As far as alternate main quest goes:
>The fuck is wrong with Elsweyr and Valenwood? Why are dwemer ruins popping up everywhere? They never came here
>Why are dwemer machines sticking out of those buildings
>WHY ARE DWEMER MACHINES STICKING OUT OF THOSE PEOPLE?
>Basically someone's found a piece of dwemer tech that helped them build cities almost instantly, but they're not using it right and it's resulting in these 'ruins' spreading like some horrible, mechanical kudzu that will even affect people
>You should probably stop this because if you don't get involved in this plot either, cities are slowly going to be assimilated.

Only an idiot would think they're not working on it, it's just in their backlog. They need to squeeze as much cash out of FO4 as they can first.
Also, please NOT Valenwood because I'm always a Bosmer and I don't want to get my lore fucked up.
>>341134290

this is something I REALLY want to see
although I feel like, modern gamers won't be too happy about it cause they always want to put it off and do side quests, but honestly fuck em, I wanna see a world that changes even if you aren't changing it for once
I like the chaos dwemershit idea, maybe if such a machine didn't already exist, somebody who was really keen on studying daedra could have MADE one by stealing various artifacts, there must be a daedric artifact that causes insanely fast growth or chaotic change (like the wabbajack, but stronger?) and then mixed it with a dwarven factory city or something, like the aetherium forge or the factory city with the pumps in solstheim
I hope TES VI will buff stealth archery in Skyrim some dragons could take whole 3 hits before they die.
Speaking of which I wonder what will be the new equivalent of dragons unless new game simply won't have enemies randomly attacking towns.
>>341139841
i want new races badly
I especially want all of the variation possible
even though it's more work creating armors that look right on all of the bodies
you know what I think? if they made the armors even more modular, with like 10-15 pieces, I think it would be less work creating every armor piece, that sounds counter intuitive because it's more PIECES, but I think a lot of the pieces could stay the same shape on most of the bodies, like pauldrons and chestplates, and then only the foot pieces and leg pieces for digitigrade races would have to be changed, etc
and for races with no legs, the foot pieces can just be turned into tail armor or some shit, I don't know, but for sure they shoiuldn't limit it like in morrowind where some characters just cant wear X armor piece
>>341141223
>new races
>all variations
What variations?
>>341141431
like khajiit variations, and anything else in the lore
i don't really remember if there were variations on argos or snake people or any of the other races, but I love a good character creator
>>341140806
i get itmy problem with dragon fights were they were just a hassle after a while
when i finally got bend will, I just started using that instead of bothering, I think fights like that need to be more rare

No they didn't. Vvardenfell looked like that as early as during Arena back when they had absolutely no plan to make an open-world rpg using it
>>341143443

If so, sweet, I was gonna buy it anyway.
>>341136350
>but they shouldn't TELL the player like they did in NV
THIS. It would be so on a new playthrough discovering a quest you've never heard of.
>>341140648
Glad you like it.
As the dwemer thing goes, while I'll admit I've never heard of such a thing in lore, it felt like it would make sense for it to exist.
I mean Dwemer built this shit with tonal magic, but they also loved their machines, so what are the odds they wouldn't one day build a machine that could use tonal magic to build cities for them?
As a side note, a less popular idea in my head would be the player being able to take over a bunch of things like farms, mines, traders, banks, merchant sailors, and even pirate crews and bandit gangs fairly unrelated to the war questline.
And then you can basically resolve the war by informing your preferred side that you're going to put your business (and criminal empire)'s resources into their corner and 'win the war' by financially fucking over the enemy.
>>341142450

then get a mod that allows for more summoned units.

>>341146049
I've used most of them. It should be in the game already.
>>341124750
This kind of clothing just does it for me, man.
what is the best graphics mod for morrowind?
>>341145378
They have that. Hell, half the types of Mysticism spells are still present despite the class-abolishment (all the anti-magic are what clipped though IIRC) .
If there's anything TES's magic needs, it's a visual overhaul that involves crazier shit than just magic balls, touch effects and NPC summons.
>>341146597
>it's a visual overhaul that involves crazier shit than just magic balls, touch effects and NPC summons.
Sounds a bit more than visual, but I am curious and interested, what kind of ideas would you have for crazy spell shit?
My own first and foremost thought it utility.
>light torches, sconces, and braizers with a flame spell
>Use ice magic to make safe pathways across water and lava
>Use lightning to restart various dwemer machines
>>341145886
they should just replace the combat and weapon stats with something more basic but nuanced
all weapons have three stats, damage, reach, speed, the later two affect weight
all weapons have two attacks with different damage and effects, swing and thrust
all armors are stronger either against swinging or thrusting depending on type, quality and weight
>>341149184
>thrusting
>With a mace
or will all maces need a nice spike on the end? Doesn't sound too bad actually. Axes will probably need the same.
>>341149184
or fuck, make it three attacks: thrust, swing, and thrown
all weapons can be thrown, they impale or cleave opponents, enchanted weapons actually absorb a soul and recharge immediately this way
shields absorb all damage but eventually break, they can be rebuilt or you can buy or loot a new one constantly depending on how effective it is, like a good shield can do considerable damage with bashing
>>341149529
of course, some weapons could be just really shit one way like swinging with a spear or thrusting with a mace, but really good in the other way.
something like maces or axes would have huge bonuses against armor but can't block or parry for shit and they're slow so they need a shield to be effective, swords would be the jack of all trades weapon, spears would be awesome against unarmored enemies, etc
>>341121486
Why are we setting ourselves up for disappointment?
>>341147123
Those ideas are nice for further-practical effects.
I was thinking of things like
>summoning storms or weather-changes
>new elements like earth, water, wind, etc
>higher-level erratic-shaped elemental blasggts
>inspiration from Bioshock's variety, like split-recon, speed-charging, insect-swarms, tornadoes, actual telekinesis manipulation/throwing, etc
>NPC-control or object/enviromental disguises
And so forth.
>>341142812

Oblivion gates would been been cooler if they were either shorter or less abundant. The first time going into one was such a cool feeling, it just wore off as I tried to close all of them.
>>341150430

>>341151131

>>341150043
okay, I can life with that.
>>341150586
>water, earth, and wind
Why are these not elements in the base game?!
I also do agree with the bioshock proposal.
>>341121486
>"I could sit here and explain the game to you, and you would say, 'That sounds like you don't even have the technology. How long is that going to take?'
So we can count on TES6 being PC + Gen9 of consoles? If it's something that sounds that current tech couldn't handle i doubt they'd end up trying it on the Notebookstation 4.
Then again, Todd wouldn't lie to us, right?
>>341125780

Well no shit its a real thing. I mean im sure they started working on it as soon as V left the gates, little by little. Thats how studios stay profitable, by having coders pump out the game while designers design and write and all that. Otherwise half of the time half the people are out of shit to do and you have to pay them a bunch.
At least this confirms we'll see TESVI at next E3 most likely after a similar tease that they did with FO4

Not sure how but if Bethesda finds a way to make magic feel better I'm going to shit myself. Not entirely sure why magic feels so bad I'm skyrim but it could be because all you do is hold the right trigger for 30 seconds, drink a potion, and do it again. And the insulting kill cams of your player just burning the dude to the ground looked like shit. Please Bethesda, somehow use your talented staff to make magic more fun and appealing.
>>341152439
Morrowind didn't make the different attacks an actual option though, there's literally 1 attack that does the best damage and has no drawbacks. Nobody used the different attacks in morrowind because even the devs acknowledged they were pointless.
Think of Mount and & Blade instead. Blocking is directional there too, you have a specific block for specific attacks, and the blocking skill determines how fast and effectively you do them.
i think more ellaborate blocks and parries makes games more fun, you don't swing and miss endlessly or hack away for hours, the enemy feels like he's skilled as fuck and dangerous when he's constantly blocking and outdoing you instead.
i would like that, two kinds of blocks and one parry, if you get it wrong, you take all the damage, if you do it right, you don't. Rock Paper Scissors where your stats grow at the same time that you get used to the system.
the attacks and blocks would work by holding mouse button combinations or another key you can customize, you could hold attacks instead of having retarded flashy power attacks that take control away from you for too long, footwork would be important to get at your enemy's rear and side, away from his attack and into his exposed flank, NPCs would try to stick together to gang up on enemies instead of chasing you like animals, etc.
>>341152816
Foot binding back in the older days of China. Girls' feet were broken and then bound so that their feet would be smaller and fit into tiny shoes.

>>341158189
>daedra fucking everywhere not affecting the world
they literally do not, they roam around the country side and fuckall happens, there's no travellers or inhabitants to affect, the cities do not become under siege
>implying the shit engine limitations with only 20 actors allowed to be in combat with the player at a time aren't present in every TES game
then they should have made them battles then for fucks sake, they could have had most of the fighting indoors or at different stages
>implying oblivion quests aren't god tier with 0 to very little mmo-tier fetch questing

>>341161585
I highly doubt they would do this, they've already set up the Thalmor as Tamrielic Nazis, and honestly they kind of are since they vie to remove mannish races from the Mundus.
It'd be interesting from a story standpoint but I don't think Bethesda is brave enough to pull something like that off
>>341162170
