About The Elder Scrolls 6...

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Definately Valenwood and Elsweyr! Seeing the Lore for the history and ethics of the Bosmer makes it sound enriguing. Lots of animals, and vast areas of forrest! I loved the South side of Cyrodil, running through the trees and coming across the lost settlements! It was a shame there wasn't actually much programmed down there! Although it was awesome that the Nights of Nine stronghold was there! I liked having my base of operations hidden in the trees like that!

I'd imagine though, looking at the map that they would combine the 2 areas to one game if they were to make it, as both provinces are smaller than the 2 most recent games!

 

[JoesshittyOs]

Which ever one the Redguards come from.

I love the direction they've taken with making the Red Guard culture "Arabianesque". It would be fucking awesome to see what they could do with that.

My vote is for Akavir. Maybe it could be a not-medieval-Japan setting rather than a not-medieval-Europe setting?

Think about it: Intelligent monkey men, Naga-like snake people, and tiger-like cousins to the Khajiit. And, hell, since it could be taken as being "Japan", we could get a host of Japan's mythological stuff in addition to the standard Elder Scrolls affair. Maybe have human-form Kitsunes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune (Albeit they'd probably have them inexplicably keep a fox tail and their ears; otherwise they'd just look like another Imperial rip off with different stats (I'm looking at you, Bretons!)? I suppose that they could also add in a "Nekomata" with essentially no grasp of lore, essentially making them this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_girl (Albeit with matching hair colors (No difference in ear/tail and hair), and both genders). I don't see any other way they could make what is in lore a magical cat that is not very human a playable character without just having a new Khajiit. Agile, weak, stealthy, blade-users, perhaps? Kitsunes could have a powerful fire breath greater power.

Muskets, perhaps? They made them first in our[footnote]Yes, I know, that was in China, actually. But, in video games, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllAsiansAreAlike, so there's that. Besides the fact that it's a fantasy game.[/footnote] world; so why not, right?

Well, anyways, with all of my speculation on what they could/should add aside, I think they should do Akavir next. Besides, I buy PC, so everything above that I want (Ninjas, Nekomimi, Kitsunes, and maybe even ye olde muskets) could just be modded in, anyways. Yay for PCs!

 

[Matthew Van Ryt]

Screw the territories, I say all of Tamriel!

I imagine that the new Radial quest system will fit quite nicely into a MMO style game. Tweak that with some D2/3 quality dungeon randomisation and item randomisation and we would have an amazing game.

 

[Pat8u]

I want to ride other khajjit so elsweyr it is

if anyone doesen't know what Im talking about certain breeds of khajjit are usally used by other khajjit as a steed

 

[Flip-Shying]

It would be great, in my opinion, if it were set in Argonia/Black Marsh.

 

[Sigmar ov The Hammer]

Might be a tad far fetched but, an elder scrolls that takes place ALL ACROSS TAMRIEL would be brilliant.

It would be the best game ever, in my opinion.



How they would get around to making it and finishing it, I have no idea.

 

[SwimmingRock]

I have no idea. I like cold, snow and mountains, so Skyrim was pretty much the best location as far as I'm concerned. Akavir might be interesting, though.

Also, and I don't mean to derail your thread, could somebody explain the popularity of Khaijit to me? I don't see the appeal. Is it a furry thing?

 

[TheIronRuler]

Are you fucking kidding me? 6 votes for Black Marsh?
DON'T YOU GUYS WANT LIKE
BRUTAL BULLSHIT
AND ASSASSINS EVERYWHERE
AND BARELY BEING ABLE TO SURVIVE
AND THE MOST
RUTHLESS
ENVIRONMENT
EVER?


Failing that, Summerset Isles and the other continents take my vote. Some non-Tamriel content would be nice. Akavir has weird new races like more reptiles and stuff, so that'd be nice, Atmora's a frozen uninhabitable shithole so that doesn't really work, never heard of Pyandonea and Yokuda's a bit small.
There are other continents but I can't be bothered looking them up right now. I'm bored.

.
If you're not argonian you won't be able to bleedin' BREATH in certain locations. That's why I didn't choose it.
.

I vote Akavir.
Akavir, Akavir, Akavir.
Mainly because there's just enough lore surrounding it to make it mysterious, but also possibilities to make it substantial. So much want for Akavir.

But they aren't even HUMANOID!

 

[DanielBrown]

Hammerfell would be cool. I like the Redguards. :>
My favorite area was covered with Skyrim though. Was complaining a while back about the lack of Norse inspired games. Kept myself clueless with Skyrim to releave me of some hype, so it was a welcome surprise!

 

[RangerDruid]

Another reason it would be good to have it set on the Summerset isles is that it would make less work for Bethesda not having to match it up with surrounding provinces. I don't think I'm the only one slightly bothered by Skyrim being foresty around the centre, but having snow at both the top and bottom in order to match up with Cyrodiil..

I have no idea. I like cold, snow and mountains, so Skyrim was pretty much the best location as far as I'm concerned. Akavir might be interesting, though.

Also, and I don't mean to derail your thread, could somebody explain the popularity of Khaijit to me? I don't see the appeal. Is it a furry thing?

I think that's more to do with Elsweyr, by description being a more different environment than what we see in traditional fantasy. I'm all for whatever allows us to travers and experience more diverse landscapes and cultures in the Elder Scrolls universe.

 

[tangoprime]

Akavir. Akavir. Akavir.

My first reaction to the announcement of a TES4? "Wait, Oblivion? I wanted Akavir!"
My first reaction to the announcement of an add-on to TESIV? "Wait, The Shivering Isles? I wanted Akavir!"
My first reaction to the announcement of a TES4? "Wait, Skyrim? I wanted Akavir! But holy f***ing shit, that trailer looks badass."

Actually, I am still hoping that the add-on to Skyrim will be set in Akavir. I mean lore-wise, it's the continent of dragons. Seeing as how they finally have an engine capable of doing those, it would be a definite possibility.

As for the others... Yokuda? Wasn't that one destroyed?
The Summerset Isles/Valenwood? Ugh, I hate the Altmer and Bosmer so much, I think I'd rather play a game set on Thras, home of the Sload, a race of evil slug-man necromancers(and, according to Morrowind, apparently also master soapmakers).

I dont know much about Yokuda, but if it did get destroyed.. Why not a prequel? Same would for Vvardenfell.

Eh, we've already had the Redguard's backstory with The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard, which took place 400 years prior to the first game in the series and followed the swashbuckle-y adventures of the redguard Cyrus. No need for another piratey game, lol. I vote AKAVIR!

 

[honestdiscussioner]

Have a game set in MULTIPLE provinces.

Here's the brilliant idea that me and my friend came up with that will never be used by Bethesda. Basically just have this entire section of Tamriel be the new setting for the game:

Spoiler

I know it sounds crazy, but think about it. With all that shit regarding the Aldmeri Dominion Taking over Valenwood AND most of Cyrodiil, the province borderlines probably won't even resemble what I've just shown you. Elsweyr and Black Marsh would support their own independence of course, but what if the empire collapsed after yet another Great War with the Dominion? What if Elsweyr reclaimed the Cyrodiilic western shore of the Niben Bay and Black Marsh took back the eastern shore of Blackwood? The entire game would be RIFE with political factions and multiple opportunities of war and racial strife! Not to mention the most environmentally varied game that the Elder Scrolls series has ever produced with elven woods, deserts, tropical jungles, and swamplands! IT'S FUCKING PERFECT!!!

Ahem...

So, anyone else like this idea?

I half support this idea . . . so just put me down for a vote on this. I say only half because I see a certain problem. Political strife is nice, but it would seem to be a downgrade.

So in Morrowind, you had your generic "big bad guy is going to come and raise an army" deal (I'm generalizing, I know). For Oblivion, they raised the stakes and said "Hey, let's let their version of hell invade the entire map."

Now once you go and say "the plot is to defeat hell", it's hard to top that. They did however, as in Skyrim the big bad guy is FUCKING DRAGONS.

So plot escalation is a problem. Simple political strife a la New Vegas wouldn't cut it. We'd need something bigger, like perhaps an invasion from other areas of Nirn . . or how about the return of the Dwermer? Anyway, I like your area idea, just not your plot idea.

Invasion of the creatures of Akavir. Preparations for the invasion, lords betraying their king for protection from the Akavir when they land, people fleeing the southern lands in fear of the invasion... Maybe this can work?

That would be an example of what I'm talking about. Problem would be that area has lots of different types of creatures unlike anything we've seen in Elder Scrolls . . like monkey-people. Don't know if Bethesda is ready to go there just yet.

 

[Lionsfan]

I want more Vvardenfell, preferrably with the option to revisit Morrowind

Wasn't Vvardenfell destroyed? I think Red Mountain erupted after the Oblivion Crisis and made it unhabitable

I will admit I don't know, I'd love a source on this though.

It doesn't have to progress in time, it could be a prequel, there was plenty of lore for the place.

Here's <url=http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Vvardenfell>where I found out, obviously it's not official, but that site is pretty good for anything Elder Scrolls. It has a lot of in-game stuff on there so I would imagine it's about as official as it can get

Political strife in terms of the Civil War questline in Skyrim, not the main plot. My concept was only aimed at the setting for the game and the possibilities it might hold.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

I'm glad to see that Elsweyr is the most popular option, seeing as that's the area that I think would be most interesting to explore in the (let's face it) inevitable Elder Scrolls 6. Desert and tropical rainforest is something that I think would be awesome in an Elder Scrolls game.

That actually sounds really cool. It would certainly be Bethesda's answer to Planet of the Apes.

Hence why I gave you the vote. I wonder if they'd ever do something that has the ENTIRE map all in one game like in Arena. Though I have to say, it'd be strange that there would still be the same ruins with other powerful items in them. Lycanthian was in both Arena and Skyrim, each time they held powerful staffs.
