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

[Makabb]

You can see it in how they've approached every title post morrowind

It's not realy a secret, Todd said himself in one of the interviews that he is just remaking 'one game (morrowind) over and over again'

 

[boobio]

So is it pretty much confirmed that it will be niggerfell even tho there was already that shitty redgard game?

 

[theSavant]

Yeah, the video is spot on. If you have still doubts, there are a couple of more hints:

- Bethesda registered the name "Redfall" last year. Kinda fits to "Hammerfell" by the name alone, doesn't it? Just more edgy.
- "Redfall" - Red and Brown are similar in tones. They apply to Hammerfell in environment and races.
- Their lates video about including "grandma" into the game also showed some photogrammetry of red canyon rocks.
- The fact that they registered the name Redfall in autumn (leaf colors are yellow, red, brown) is also perplexing.

Quite certain, that it's Hammerfell area.

So is it a giant desert? Another Morrowind? Not sure, but a large part of the map probably is. Doesn't get me too excited tbh. Oblivion and Skyrim had at least the bonus of serving as a hiking simulator (because somewhat appealing environment) but a giant desert? I don't know...

 

[Lord Commissar Alexer]

Ufff...not really excited.
Would rather have High Rock only if at all.

 

[DalekFlay]

I'd guess Hammerfell and High Rock. That way they can go full "different" with the desert but also have some typical medieval shit in High Rock. That worked well for them in Skyrim, a little weird and a lot typical.

The reasoning that it can't be Elsweyr is shit.
"it could be possible but it isn't likely"
???
They have an expansion for their MMO coming out featuring Elsweyr, it would be entirely unsurprising to use it to hype TES6. Bethesda is known to not give release dates for their games until shortly before their launch.

Then he's doing a terrible, terrible job.

I'd guess the MMO focusing on something likely makes it less likely the next big game will, not more. You don't want redundancies or lore/design clashes so close together.

They're set a thousand years apart.

I obviously meant close together as in software release.

isn't fallout 3 hundreds of years after 2

makes you think emoji with a todd face

 

[Oracsbox]

It's bound to be Hammerfell

Told you

 

[Tse Tse Fly]

Btw wasn't TES confirmed to be in the same universe as Fallout?

Told you

Yeah, I guess it was an inevitability.

Well, the posts all got moved because some were slightly off-topic.

But more on-topic:
I hate Hammerfell and all of its filthy NIGGERS.

The game will be shit.

Also, can anyone give me a synopsis on the old Redguard game an how its Redguards differ from current Bethesda Redguards? edit: nvm, found it

Why are you guys pretending like some fan analysis video from 2018 is a confirmation that it's taking place in hammerfell?

 

[Shadenuat]

It's interesting, but Bethesda could't even make vikings fun, so I doubt their eastern setting would be fun either, unless they get Kirkbride back and provide him years of supply of drugs.

 

[Akratus]

I dunno man, Skyrim has a ton of issues but I also had a ton of fun with it for a while especially with mods to make it moar hardcore dude. On the other hand Fallout 4, Oblivion, Fallout 3, 76 and their mobile games are unadulterated garbage so they've got more misses than hits for sure and I have little hope in their future games.

 

[Mastermind]

Hammerfell would be great and Redguards have pretty cool lore.

If Sword-Singers are in the game and your character shouts "Shehai Shen She Ru!" before summoning a spirit sword + has jedi outcast/academy style combat I will ALMOST forgive Toddler for taking spellmaking out of skyrim.

Just about anything would be better than High Rock and another generic medieval fucking game. Only thing worse would be more fucking vikings.

it looks pretty believable, but yeah, you're right. Nothing is certain.

that's why I believe they do Hammerfell over just High Rock, though I agree that they will try to include part of High Rock.

As much nosaligia as there is over Morrowcrap, I doubt they will want to abandon the generic fantasy option for players that want it.

just like Skyrim, the entirety of it wasn't frozen Nord lands, much of it looked typical fantasy.

I am actually shocked that people are still interested in Elder Scrolls VI. I am a bit biased, having pretty much always hated Bethesda games, but at least in the period from 1994 to 2014, they really didn't have much competition if you happen to like open world games. First two Gothics, the first Risen, New Vegas, and maybe some of the GTA/RDR games. That's just several games spread over 20 years, and some of them very little known. So it was understandable that people hypnotized themselves into believing they could mod Skyrim into a good game, with 200+ mods or enough psychedelics.

But now? It makes no sense. Open world games are doing better than ever. Since 2015, there have been legitimately amazing open world games released at a regular clip. Witcher 3 redefined open world storytelling and presentation, Breath of the Wild did the same for exploration and world interaction, Kingdom Come introduced a fresh historical take also presenting an impressive amount of in-depth systems, and ELEX was a return to form for old school legends Piranha Bytes. Each of these is getting either a sequel, or the open world game from the same studio. There is also Red Dead Redemption 2, which I haven't played yet, but seems to be at least better than a typical Bethesda game from reviews. And if you absolutely must have mindless open world carousing, the last two Assassin's Creed games are more fun than any Bethesda product. And you better believe they have the next one in works, possibly Viking themed.

So I have no idea why people are still interested in Bethesda. Is it inertia? Remember, this is a studio that in its entire history has never really innovated or improved or anything. Do you really think their last two flops (F4 and F76) are going to suddenly make them change their MO and create deep interesting systems and great writing for TES6? Or, perhaps more likely, you will get more of "Ah, where is my son?" dialogue wheels? I am betting on the latter.

 

[theSavant]

Which other Open World RPG exactly is 1st person and by that a competitor? I don't know even know of a current competitor. Not even a possible competitor in the makings. And when TES6 comes out, you will see it will still have no competitors. Yeah it's sad, but that's the state of things.

 

[frajaq]

just make a competing game against TES 6 xdddddd

 

[unfairlight]

I think the reason why TES has such a big appeal is because of the sandbox-esque nature, fully interactable world and a decent balance of scale and detail. It doesn't have much competition.

 

[ADL]

Don't care where it's set. Just remember, they turned Cyrodiil into generic Tolkien fantasy forest with Oblivion and turned Skyrim into something not interesting at all and if they subvert expectations, it will almost certainly be for the worse.
