Elder Scrolls The Elder Scrolls VI - officially announced but you'll have to wait

[Squid]

The way Todd bragged about their plans with newer games I expected them to not use Gamebryo. With something about we would ask how they could ever accomplish such features and whatnot because we don't yet have the technology to pull those things off yet. That's about all he said. I'm sure it won't be much and it'll be something on the scale of Oblivion's Townie NPC scripting.

TES will never be set in lands that are populated by beast races, quote from Kirkbride himself:

And we're not ever going to see an rpg set in the cat-nation. Not in this decade, anyway. Said it before: TES is the story of the fall of Man to Mer. The beasts are just bystanders to the rest.

Well Kirkbride isnt part of Bethesda anymore though, so Todders is free to retcon stuff

"You can rule some things in. And you can rule some things out."

= my guess is rule out RPG stuff like more stats and actual good quests and rule in "cool" stuff like knights on horseback.

Dragons everywhere.

Modders have already started fixing it, I see.

I thought I read it was going to be the Valenwood/Elsweyr region. Guess they might have changed that.

I only have one question about this game at this point.

Are they going to have fully voiced PC played by Joe Everyman? Or will I be allowed to have a character I made myself?

That right there will decide whether I'm at all interested to spend money on this or not.

 

[Ranarama]

Why can't I vote for Skyrim as the location?

High Rock but you are forced to join a Knightly order early on (High Rock is the one with Bretons and knights right?) and rebuild the towns and castles destroyed in the war with the yellow elves.

This game is at least 5 years in the future people... "Pre-production" literally means "we are just fooling around throwing ideas on how to better implement microtransactions to rape your wallet".

You can be sure it will be always-online and will feature multiplayer in some form. It will NOT be a 100% single player game, i can bet my dick on this. And the RPG elements will be even more non-existent than in Fallout 4. It will feature a voiced protagonist and it will essentially be a first person shooter with swords in a boring setting.

Bethesda is creatively bankrupt, they care only about moneytization and getting to the lowest common denominator. Let TES die already, don't contribute to the hype of this garbage. Bethesda is dead.

 

[taxalot]

I am sure it will be playable offline. Bethesda is at least trying to keep that kind of image.

And those quests are going to be given by dunmer Preyston from house of Tel Garvys?

I expect from this game to remove combat altogether, can't have target audience die from enemies and be frustrated that game is hard.

 

[DJOGamer PT]

I calling it now, the game is only going to have 3 Skills/Stats, which will be Mage, Thief and Warrior.
And people will say they redefined the genre yet again.

 

[RNGsus]

Greatest rpg of all time.

 

[Ranarama]

I forgot this game was announced

That's because you need facts to attach to things for them to be memorable.

I love how Bethesda keeps scaling down cities in their game. They don't even bother to add filler NPCs (e.g. just "Villager" or "Citizen" with generic topics to talk about) just to add the density to the place so it won't be so fucking dead. Man, can't wait to see a garrison of 3 men, a city mayor, a merchant and 1 quest giver - all in one-building town called Faggetfall.

Looks like Khorinis from Gothic 2 is still one of the best towns in RPGs.

Oh man, they're stealing ideas from my work-in-progress RPG.

There was a joke about that by Tedd Peterson, see if I can find it.

Anyway, it was him or Kurt Khulman who joked years ago TES6 would take place from a chair in a single room.

 

[DragoFireheart]

Yes but does their game engine finally let you climb ladders?

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Yes but does their game engine finally let you climb ladders?

Only if they can find a way to let characters climb ladders without having to animate it.

 

[typical user]

You forgot that character needs to equip ladder as a hat or otherwise their engine will puke it's innards out.

Have you heard of the Elder Scrolls?
Have you heard of the High Elves?
Have you heard of the Shitrim?

 

[RNGsus]

What's new with you?

 

[EruDaan]

Have you heard of the Elder Scrolls?
Have you heard of the High Elves?
Have you heard of the Shitrim?

No, I have not. But I'm excited. Could you please tell me more about these exotic sounding topics?
