Poll: Elder scrolls or Fallout, what's up next ?

[Arcadial]

I would like a new elder scrolls, just a little more variety in the terrain and better voice acting this time guys!

Also I still have not forgotten the assasination of Captain Picard, oh no.

But on the other hand I have really enjoyed fallout thus far, the "standard fastasy setting" as yahtzee calls it, is getting old Dragon age origins bored me to death for this reason.

 

[maturin]

Especially in the eternal abyss of bland-ness that is Cyrodiil. Yeesh.

I hear you. To hell with that Fischer Price fantasyland. I swear that game was inspired more by Fable and that sort of lame genre stuff than any of their own material.

Personally, I REALLY want a new Elder Scrolls game, but where the hell are they going to set it? With any luck, it'll be in Atmora... thousands of cookies await those who know what Atmora is. You have to be a diehard TES fan, trust me.

Atmora is long-dead and frozen. That's why the Nords came south after killing all their mer.

It's probably Skyrim at this point, though. I would have vastly preferred Elsweyr or Hammerfell. Part of what made Morrowind great was that it used real world human cultures for inspiration in a way that went deeper that two bit D&D ethnic stereotypes. But you just know the current dev team is going to make the next game a viking fest. The kids will love it.

*face palm* on the page shows part of an legit article that one of the betheseda members said they were working on Fallout 4. Also why would the fan-wiki lie to their readers? Unlike Wikipedia they don't have reason to.

Read the thread before you facepalm me. The articles linked are obviously legit. The conclusions drawn are just 'analysis' by fans.

I never said Fallout 4 wasn't in development, just that no one knows whether it will come out first.

 

[Lullabye]

TESV please oh please oh please oh please.
Also, please make the combat more fun.
But keep the awesome environments.
And sidequests. Keep the awesome plethora of sidequests.

 

[Aphex Demon]

Yes!, Elder Scrolls, So much fun.

 

[Red Pawn]

I want a new Fallout game more than the alternative, but Bethesda needs to develop a new engine for handling the series from a first-person perspective. Given that, I think that what they should do is take a few years to develop a new Elder Scrolls game to test out the new engine and then implement that into a new Fallout title.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

for all we know it could be 2 TES games. wikis are not a good source on anything.

They're making one game in TWO PARTS!


Better still, they're make one TES game in... how many races are there in canon TES?... yeah, THAT many parts. It seems to be working for Blizzard after all.

Why would they bother when they now own id software and have access to the idTech 5 engine?

 

[funksobeefy]

If its not Elder Scrolls V I will riot!

 

[demoman_chaos]

Elder Scrolls.
If Elder Scrolls had Mount&Blade style combat and you could lead a team of 5-10 dudes in a mercenary group, helping in large scale battles, it would be the best thing ever (Assuming they iron out the bugs).

[Signa]

I was simply saying that people want a Morrowind-style or Daggerfall-style fast travel system in Oblivion. They don't want the existing system simply to be removed.

And hundreds, perhaps thousands of people on the Bethesda forums just sneer and point out that fast travel is optional. Yeah, because walking everywhere is so much fun.

Aaah, Ok. Yeah, I wouldn't want the fast travel system removed either, but in my first playthrough of the game, I avoided using it because I like to naturally train my skills. I mean if my character is walking all that distance, shouldn't I reap some reward for it? It didn't make the game any better so I eventually stopped playing. I'm in the process of another playthrough, and I bought training for that sucker as soon as I could afford to level the Speed points.

 

[Belgian_Waffles]

I'm already itching for a new Fallout, I dunno I guess I just like the post-apocolyptic setting over generic fantasy land.

Here are your cookies... And yes, Skyrim could be like Bloodmoon on steroids. That'd be awesome.

Actually, they should set TES5 in the same time as Morrowind and have a storyline that incorporates what happened in Bloodmoon...

 

[maturin]

Nothing of particular importance (or, in my opinion, interest) happened in Bloodmoon. Nothing compared to Tribunal and Shivering Isles, anyhow.

Oblivion, what have you done?

 

[DeathsHands]

We kinda just got a new Fallout. Another Elder Scrolls game, please.

Oh please let this NOT be the new ES game! I just bought a new video card, and I don't think even it will be able to handle that! Also, if they are putting that much work into making a game look that good, how the hell are they going to have time and budget to fill a game like that with actual, meaningful content to the standard we expect from ES games?

EDIT: I'm looking at the picture again, and I'm starting to believe it's a normal photo with some post processing effects on it. It DOES look like a game, but the fine details are too intact to be even from a Pixar movie or a Blizzard cutscene.

 

[JWW]

They will likely make another Fallout game beforehand, since the approach they seem to be taking with that is to chuck them out as quickly as possible to feel a profitable audience. Elder Scrolls games take longer to make. With that in mind, I'd like to see TES V first.

 

[StraightToHeck]

new Elder Scrolls, but with Fallout 3's simple reward and leveling systems, and a better engine

 

[StraightToHeck]

I think I heard that the next Fallout is estimated to come out in 2012
