Yea, it's more than year before release, and while Bethesda can fail spectacularly the same as with Starfield, there is rather silence about TES VI.
I wasn't able to find an official thread. Now I wonder if I should post this, because Bethesda could have 3+ years delay and then posters in this thread would be saying: "my grandfather was posting in this thread in the begining, and now I can finally play Bethesda's game. Was that wait worthy?"
But, I was curious about what AI writers can do, so I decided to ask ChatGPT to write plot for TES VI. The amazing stuff is it actually was able to recognize from words "TES VI" about what I was talking.
Now obviously TES VI isn't happening on Summerset Isle, and the story bellow is basically Veilguard with better story, or some kind of Diesel punk.
But...
Can Bethesda do better than the text bellow?
Title:
The Elder Scrolls VI: Aetherfall
Setting:The game takes place in the land of
Summerset Isle, home to the High Elves (Altmer) and one of the most ancient, magical, and beautiful places in Tamriel. Known for its towering cities and breathtaking landscapes, Summerset is now on the brink of a civil war. But the conflict is not merely political—it’s rooted in a growing rift between the old, traditional magic of the Altmer and the emerging new forces of technology and innovation.
Plot:A thousand years have passed since the events of
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and Tamriel has evolved. Magic is still potent, but it's being overshadowed by mysterious new technologies. A new power, known as the
Aetherians, a group of magical scientists, have harnessed the essence of the stars and the void to create a new form of power. They seek to revolutionize the world with arcane machinery and weapons of unimaginable strength. Some argue they will bring salvation, while others fear the potential destruction of Tamriel’s ancient traditions.
The game begins with your character, an outsider, arriving in Summerset Isle under mysterious circumstances. You are an outcast from another world, whose arrival may signal the return of an ancient prophecy about the
Aetherfall, a cataclysmic event when the boundaries between Aetherius (the realm of the gods) and Oblivion (the realm of darkness) collapse.
As you explore the land, you will uncover ancient ruins, interact with factions vying for control of the future of Summerset, and navigate political intrigue between the High Elves, the
Aetherians, and the
Sapiarchs (ancient mages who uphold traditional magic). Your choices will determine whether the continent sinks into chaos or rises to a new age of enlightenment.
Key Factions:
- The Altmer Loyalists – A faction of powerful High Elves who resist the influence of the Aetherians and seek to preserve the old ways of magic. They see themselves as the protectors of the world’s ancient traditions.
- The Aetherians – Scholars, scientists, and inventors who use newly discovered technologies derived from the stars. They are seen as dangerous radicals by many, but some see their innovations as the key to a brighter future for Tamriel.
- The Sapiarchs – Mages of the ancient Altmer order, protectors of traditional arcane knowledge. They find themselves divided between supporting the old ways and collaborating with the Aetherians to harness this new power.
- The Veilborn – An enigmatic and reclusive group of scholars, mystics, and nomads who believe the key to saving Tamriel lies in understanding the hidden energies of the Aether and Oblivion. They play a significant role in the struggle between the Aetherians and the Altmer Loyalists.
Main Quest:The primary questline revolves around
The Aetherfall Prophecy, an ancient scroll predicting that an “outsider” will appear at the moment of the great cataclysm, and they will either prevent or cause the destruction of the world. The prophecy hints that only by understanding the nature of the Aether and the boundaries of Oblivion can the impending disaster be stopped.
You must gather allies, make difficult choices, and ultimately decide whether to embrace the power of the Aetherians, preserve the old ways of the Altmer, or forge a new path. Your choices shape the future of Summerset Isle and could lead to an era of peace—or a reign of destruction.
Major Themes:
- Tradition vs. Innovation: The conflict between preserving ancient magic and embracing new technology becomes the central theme of the game. Players will be forced to confront their views on progress and tradition, and how they shape the future of the world.
- Power and Responsibility: Whether it's magic, technology, or knowledge, the game explores the consequences of wielding power. Do we control it, or does it control us?
- The Balance Between Aetherius and Oblivion: As the Aetherfall approaches, the player must uncover the ancient truths about the Aether and Oblivion. Is the blending of realms inevitable, or can balance be restored?
Gameplay Features:
- Dynamic Magic System: Combining traditional spells with the new technological innovations of the Aetherians, players can create unique combinations of magic and science to defeat enemies.
- Advanced Faction Influence: The choices players make will significantly alter the power structure of Summerset Isle. Join one of the major factions, or carve your own path.
- Living World: Summerset will be a fully realized living world, with ongoing political, social, and magical events occurring. Whether it's a royal assassination, a new technological breakthrough, or a rival mage duel, the world reacts to your actions.
- Aetherial Zones: As the boundaries between the Aether and Oblivion weaken, special areas called Aetherial Zones appear. These are places where reality bends, and you must solve complex puzzles and face terrifying creatures from the realms of gods and demons.
In the end,
The Elder Scrolls VI: Aetherfall will challenge the player to consider not just their role in Tamriel’s future, but the very nature of progress, power, and the balance between worlds.
