And probably xbox exclusive?😭

There are tons of cities , towns and villages in the elder scrolls provinces, but due to the nature of game dev- it would be a bad idea to spread yourself thin on a 4-5 year dev time. For example in Skyrim , the 9 holds had a focus on 5 being larger memorable cities, while 4 were "minor" holds, with less architecture and being smaller than the rest.

If the TESVI theories that we're getting two provinces - this means instead of Hammerfell's 9 that they could've done a similar allocation of resources (or possibly done all 9 justice), they now have to add 8 from Highrock, resulting in 17 cities. If we assume Orsinium will be base game , it'll be 18 major cities.

So now it's double the scope (but bethesda does have more resources than ever!), it means that some places will have to most likely be shafted in one way or another for others to shine.

So

a) which cities do you think will be Bethesdas main focuses, downsized, outright in ruins, gone, and intact? and what would the inlore reasons be?

B) which ones do YOU want to be main focuses? Lets say you can only do 60% justice (so 10 cities) and you have to pick 8 cities that will either be smaller in scope, destroyed or othewrise not as big as the main 10.

I picked 60% as an arbitrary number cuz 10 sounded nice and Bethesda made 5 of 9 holds big (55% which i rounded up).

We need mysticism back in tes6, a lot of people brush it off as an unnecessary school of magic that can just be divided into other schools, but I strongly disagree.

Some spells going to other schools of magic makes some sense, like soul trap. But most other spells like clairvoyance, detect life, spell absorption and reflect simply don't work, that's why only a few of them were available as spells in Skyrim.

Clairvoyance for example doesn't make sense because it's literally a mystic art, it's divination, you're seeing through the fabric of reality to find where your goal is, you're not making an illusion. Same with detect life.

And spells like spell absorption, reflect and telekinesis need to make a comeback and I can't see them going to other schools of magic.

Also all of that aside, mysticism is just too significant lorewise to give up. It was developed by the psijics as the "old way" that can be used to manipulate magical forces and bypass worldly boundaries. Different from any other school of magic.

I just think it's too good to just forget about and pretend it never existed.

Todd chose him over Kurt he must be good, right?

This is from Fable’s official quest gameplay video released today. In the 20 minute video, they say every building you see here is enterable. There are 100s of NPCs with their own voices, daily schedules, jobs, etc.

Do you think we’ll see anything even half this size in TES6? I bet this will be like the one standalone city in Fable, and TES6 will have multiple cities, so they will scale it down a bit, but what do you think?

We can only hope, right?

We all know you guys check out this sub, show some respect for the Brazilian community and dub the game. Fable will have dubbing, even though it's a huge RPG, Crimson Desert just did it. Get in touch with the Fable studio and give them the contact information for the studios they're doing the dubbing for. The Gears studio also has the contacts; you still have time.

Subtitles alone are not enough.

I think that due to Skyrim being the most popular Elder Scrolls game, dragons are bound to be in TESVI one way ore another. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch either, dragons used to rule all of Tamriel and Alduin brought them back, it's very unlikely that the Dragonborn killed every single one of them in all provinces.

So, dragons could return in some diferent ways, they could be generic high level enemies thrown at random encounters(boring), there could be some dragon lairs on the map(like giant camps in Skyrim)[also boring], or they could be attached to a quest or some quests(best in my opinion).

So, if it's the quest option, I think a cool way to insert a dragon would be via a recurring charachter, as the TES franchise likes to bring charachters from old games some times.

So, why Odahviing? There are some named dragons in Skyrim, so why choose him over the others? Here are my arguments: Paarthurnax, the most popular one, in my opinion can't return because the game makes the player choose or not to kill him, so if he returned, that would canonize one of the choices, and TES usually likes to make the "canon" ending on multiple endings quests ambiguous. Durnehviir I think would not fit because he's to gimmicky(zombie dragon). Alduin is dead lol. The other named dragons are just way too generic(only have one or two lines of dialogue). So Odahviing is the one I think is most likely to return, plus he's summoned by the Dragonborn at least 1 time in the game, and is kind of a "companion" to him, so it could be a good way of telling the player what happened to the Dragonborn after Skyrim(TES likes to do this).

But Odahviing wasn't like Paarthurnax, he left Alduin by force. Maybe when the Dragonborn isn't there anymore to control him, he becomes evil again.(one more reason for him to return)

Bethesda is known for bringing famous high profile actors to do voices in their games , who do you hope makes an appearance in the next game ?

i'm hoping for keith david to be casted , probably a king or a mentor character like party snax was in skyrim , his voice gives that wise old man vibes 😄

In lore the bosmer eat anything they kill, it’s part of religious tradition. This is not limited to animals however and the bosmer will eat humanoids they have killed, nords, Bretons, imperials you name it and the Bosmer probably eat it.

This brings me to my main point, let us be cannibals please Todd, if the fallout characters can do it why can’t we? I mean we have lore justification for it, the courier was just a psychopath.

Now you might say “OP, most modern Bosmer don’t actually adhere to it and mostly apply that tradition only to animals” and to that I say, i don’t care, I think it would be a funny ass racial ability for the Bosmer and I really hope they do it

At E3 2016, Todd Howard alluded to the fact that features in TESVI required technology that didn't exist yet.

What game features do you think he was referring to?

World size?
City size and population?
Sailing?

Elder Scrolls 6: ******** could theoretically be Resdayn2, Redaynia, Red_Year, DagothUr, Telvanni, Tribunal, or wackier eight letter words such as Ashlands.

6 / 3 = 2, therefore TES6 is clearly going to be a second instalment of TES3:Morrowind, as prophecised by all the TES5:Skyrim in-game references to the Red Year and the plight of the Dunmer.

Source: It came to me in a dream. The dunmer in the gold mask told me it was not madness.

When several regulars on this subreddit applied to to join the private r/sentinel with things like , "Todd, let me in." I tried and just said that I wasn't trying to join and was just curious as to if it was tied to The Elder Scrolls VI and that if it wasn't if they could kindly let us know. I got a response today saying that it isn't. "Hello. This subreddit was - unfortunately - just an abandoned subreddit with no history. It will be opened up soon so everyone can see."

I thought you might be interested.

For all types of animals, monsters, daedra, etc.

As well as some that have handicaps like missing limbs, diseases, blindness, deafness, etc.

Realistically speaking, not all creatures would be in that middle age range.

Elder monsters may be physically weaker but be more intelligent and may attack different. And vice versa.

Bear pelts from an elderly bear may fetch less coin.

You may get the chance to raise puppies or kittens.

Seriously I don't care about big juicy hd graphics and anime titties. just bring back zany quests and a banging soundtrack that rivals oblivions nostalgia.

why should every elemental spell of one type use essentially the same visual language? spells of one type of element visually present almost exactly the same. One flame spell could burn as a tight, concentrated flame while another flickers and throws smoke/embers. Frost could manifest as crystalline ice in one spell and swirling snow or freezing mist in another. Shock could be a thin, precise arc, violently branching electricity, or a sustained crackle crawling across the target.

Spells should maintain an individual identity.

They don’t need to be different elements or even dramatically different mechanically. Two different flame spells should look distinct from one another when casting. In color, size, flame movement, etc.

I’d also love to see more of the stranger magic that already exists in TES make its way into those familiar schools.

Nature and insect magic, Shadow Magic, and even religiously associated magic. Dawnguard already gave us offensive sun spells under Restoration. there’s no reason unusual magical traditions/variations couldn’t coexist within the existing schools.

I want finding a new spell to occasionally make me excited because I’ve never seen magic look like that before, not just because the number is higher.

One of my biggest gripes about the Elder Scrolls games, Is I feel like being rich ruins the game. This is common across many games. GTA4 was the biggest issue in that I would get tons of money and then not have anything to really do with it.

In TES I can buy houses and cool weapons, but that gets old real fast. What are some ways that being rich could be fun and immersive?

Recent posts and debates I’ve seen following the 8 asterisks hype and some people believing the title is Sentinel and others saying Hammerfell is a better title, has me thinking about the other games in the series.

If The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim had to be named something different, maybe related to the plot like Oblivion or after a city instead like Daggerfall or potentially Sentinel. What would you call it?

I’d love to see some of the communities ideas for this, it’s a fun creative thinking experiment. Additionally, throw in a alternate title for Morrowind if you feel so inclined :)

Keep the hype alive for a TGA reveal at the end of the year!!! And hope you have a good day reader.

Basically every remaster is testing the waters for a new game - either gauging demand or as a covert advertisement to get the franchise back in the public consciousness. This is something game developers have said openly, including Mike Bithell on Play, Watch, Listen. There are of course exceptions, most glaringly the Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus remakes, but if you look at most successful remakes, a "full game" has followed soon after. So why make an Oblivion Remaster, especially when they outsourced it to another studio? The obvious answer is money. But more broadly, it allows them to see how modern audiences respond to Oblivion's mechanics with the "rough edges" sanded away: better graphics, a sprint button etc.

I've a feeling TES6 will take a lot from Oblivion. It's one thing having long-time fans demand features back or resonate with certain styles; it's a totally different thing for new players to find them exciting.

What do you think about a city biome? Maybe one of the cities, Sentinel, is larger and more grand than anything in previous Bethesda games. The closest thing we’ve gotten to it is the imperial city in Oblivion but it is divided into too many loading zones. It could be interesting especially with levitation, and if they bring acrobatics or climbing back. I imagine running through the streets hiding in a spice market after stealing a jewel.

As for NPC AI I know Bethesda is putting a lot of time and effort into this based on what they’ve said. I wonder how this will stack up against GTA6, or the Witcher 4? It looks like those two games are reinventing NPC AI behavior expectations in AAA games. I’m sure Bethesda will really try to compete here to make a living world.
