You're fooling yourself if you believe they won't set the game in Wakanda Hammerfell.

[Zed Duke of Banville]

It's funny and tragic that Todd is vehemently against non-conventional fantasy yet it was non-conventional fantasy that saved Bethesda from going under basically. Bethesda was about ready to give up the ghost after Battlespire and Redguard, it took Morrowind to pull them away from the brink. I'd also argue that Skyrim was a lot less conventional than Oblivion, which was as conventional as you can get, and Skyrim remains a million times more popular than Oblivion.

Skyrim as a setting can be described as "Vikingland"; it isn't appreciably less conventional than Oblivion's version of Cyrodiil, but it is a coherent setting, which Oblivion lacked. Cyrodiil was presented as a random grab-bag of pseudo-medieval cities, with virtually no other civilization in the entire enormous province, except for the Imperial City, done in a Roman architectural style that doesn't appear anywhere else in the entire game. Skyrim also exhibits greater skill and better design by having local biomes, in the style of Morrowind, rather than Cyrodiil having fields, mountains, and woods strewn everywhere, with little to no distinction even vast distances apart. Similarly, the cities and towns in Skyrim are generally more distinct from each other, while in Oblivion each city in Cyrodiil (with the sole exception of the much larger Imperial City), despite the disparate architectural styles, has exactly one weapon/armor store, one general store, one cathedral (all identical, even in architecture, except for the deity being different), one branch of the Mages Guild, one branch of the Fighters Guild, and one castle with a Count or Countess. Even though Skyrim was still further dumbed-down from Oblivion, it did improve in certain aspects, and the setting is certainly one of them.

We literally know nothing about this game.

indeed, but theres speculation that its going to be based on hammerfell

Of course Hammerfell is the setting. If you are expecting this to be good you are delusional. They chose this location to stuff TES VI with as many niggers as possible and you know exactly why they are doing that. It's going to be Veilguard-tier writing and it's going to color the whole experience.

 

[Harthwain]

You should be extremely skeptical regardless of the "setting" at this point.

 

[Gandalf]

Hamerfell

Oh, no. They're going to have an autistic kid in the game.

Of course. But them choosing this location in particular is simply confirming everything we already suspected. I feel comfortable totally writing it off now like I did with just about everything this year

 

[PlayerEmers]

Oh, no. They're going to have an autistic kid in the game.

or maybe some rich furfag will make katia (from prequel adventure) canon

Setting and character models/textures. Too bad everything else about Skyrim was 10 times worse than Oblivion, and around 1000 times worse than Morrowind.

 

[Frozen]

Why will it take them 10y to release a soft re-skin of Skyrim under TES VI name?

They have that never changing engine and all the assets, plus voice acting was always cheap done with 1 actor in 1 day, so they could release TES IX by now.

Is there some economic model behind not releasing games and not profit from losers who love gamebryo experience over and over.

 

[Frozen]

Ah, yes, the story...khm...AN ancient evil has risen in Hammerfell....only a random prisoner who escapes by chance of circumstances can stood up to darkens. Head canon the blanks.

Spoiler alert.

 

[Taxnomore]

Oh, no. They're going to have an autistic kid in the game.

Yeah autists should just play the game and post about it !

 

[mediocrepoet]

Sir, you must be new here. See, no one on RPG Codex plays games, they just complain about them.

Please consult the new member orientation guide for tips and tricks to make your stay here more enjoyable.

You can tell your kids about a game you played and they can play the sequel. Each game is meant for a new generation of people, nevermind consoles.

 

[Gerrard]

It's not really a sequel if the story is completely unrelated.

they lose their passion and become lazy fat asses, just like George RR Martin

Daily Reminder: Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Skyrim and ALL expansions for them were developed and released in less time then how much has passed from Skyrim's release until today. <Re-read ×3times

Sequel to billions $ making, tens of millions copies sold game is not being made in any looooosely reasonable time frame. Yup, this industry is healthy and sane. It's fucking retarded, ideologically captured, clownishly incompetent and soon to be bankrupt

I heared this argument many times. All I'll say is LOOK, my friend, IF you are correct, and that's a possibility, that means that Bethesda is CLINICALLY FINANCIALLY RETARDED

They might think they are exact opposite of that if they think that way. I tell you: then they are exactly clinically financially retarded

Reason why I disagree is that I think it's because they are retarded. Now, this might sound as too simplistic of argument, but trust me whole libraries of books can be written on topic

For any devs brave and skilled enough, current situation on market for Skyrims couldn't be better. Golden opportunity ripe for seizing

 

[DJOGamer PT]

Of course Hammerfell is the setting ... They chose this location to stuff TES VI with as many niggers as possible

But they already made a game set in Skytim...
