The Next Elder Scrolls

[exobook]

I feel that the eldar scrolls games have always been about buidling world based on various historiacal periods, morrowind had a very exotic version of the far east to some extent, oblivion was a traditional fantasy world and/or tolkenist medieavel setting and Skyrim was based on viking and norse ideas and settings. Going from the here is a number of places/environments you could go:

a desert/arabian nights setting

a tropical jungle and/or island chain (could include mayan, aztec, tribal ideas)

 

[iblis666]

no idea about whats next but id love to see some modders remake the previous games using the toolkit that is comming out

 

[Flizzick]

My top three in order:

1. Valenwood
2. High Rock
3. Summerset Isles

 

[TheCakeisALie87]

I really just want them to fix the character interactions, I mean the text is fairly well written, and the voice acting rocks, but the NPCs should move and talk with more emotion. Also, and I don't know that this isn't in Skyrim, you should have the ability to reset your perks after you beat the game multiple times. If I've already played through the game, I don't necessarily (although I probably will) want to start at level 1 with a new character.

 

[Pb Zeppelin]

I'd like it if the next game in the series kept the same graphical fidelity of Skyrim, but added the rest of the provinces. Set it 100-200 years after the dragon crisis and have the rest of Tamriel go to war with Akavir or another continent of Nirn. That would be so cool to finally get a glimpse of what lies beyond Tamriel.

 

[Carrots_macduff]

i would like to see elsweyr and blackmarsh in one game, since they're so close together and are quite different geographically

 

[ShindoL Shill]

personally, i would hate being in the dwarven cities... too claustrophobic. i dont like them. they should stay dungeons. plus, they're all dead. i'd hate to go back in time too, because then i wouldnt be able to hear all about the exploits of Dovahkiin as per usual (you hear about the previous game). not to mention that they mention what happened in the previous game, but to do that with a Dwemer game you'd have to magically add it into Morrowind, not TES: VII. you get three big references to Oblivion, and a couple to Morrowind.

i'd prefer Elsweyr.

 

[DRes82]

If it was set back in the time of the Dwarves, then does that mean we would see the snow elves before they were Falmer?

How many times have we been in a dwarven dungeon looting their stuff and killing their spiders and thought "wonder what this was like with merchants and people walking about?".

THIS would be awesome. I have had that same thought since Morrowind. I can't remember any dwemer ruins from Oblivion, though. Were they there? Oh no it was the Aelieds. Yeah, going back in time to see the dwemer civilization in its prime would be amazing.

Valenwood would be awesome, I think lore states that Falinesti stopped walking around, though. Might be wrong but i'm pretty sure I read that. Also, aren't the wood elves cannibals?

 

[The Pinray]

I'd say Elswyr. I'd like a desert-y place. It'd be a nice change of pace. But I wouldn't want another Elder Scrolls game for quite awhile. At least until we've gotten the next Fallout and all of it's expansions.

 

[Eumersian]

I've had this idea for a while now, so bear with me.

I've been hoping for something taking place in between the events of Daggerfall and Morrowind. I was thinking something rooted in politics, so I looked for civil wars and the like. I thought about the 5 Years War between Elsweyr and Valenwood where the Khajiit took some land from Valenwood in the end. A few years after the war (probably in 3E 400-something), there would be some residual tensions and the like which occasionally lead to violence. The whole plot would focus on stopping another war from happening, which you can achieve in multiple ways, peaceful or violent, and the choices you make will affect the game world as a whole.

I also thought that the Summerset Isles should get involved or something. Not because I like the Altmer, but because I hate them and I think they would be interesting to add. The pretentious lot of them sticking their noses in the issue as a "neutral party" when (plot twist) they secretly want a war to happen! At least, the high magister or whatever wants it to happen because he tried to contact Sheogorath and now he's lost his marbles. Or maybe his mind. No, probably just his marbles. Have you ever lost your marbles and tried to find all of them? Could make any man go insane.

Also, adding the Summerset Isles would call for some seafaring. I like seafaring.

I think it would be pretty good for memory and framerate, since the provinces are pretty small and there would be easy justification for requiring a load screen to travel between provinces. Also, some of Valenwood's cities are founded in giant trees that migrate during the winter. The cities move.

 

[SomeRandomFaggot]

Vallenwood! come on there's a city there that MOVES and trees! It would look so much better than a wasteland, desert, Marshland, mountain region, islands. Heh heh.

 

[Risingblade]

For those of you talking about the Dwemer sorry but that wont happen. They are more then just dead. They ceased to exist. They meddled with the heart of a God and were ripped from reality.

There's one left in Morrowind, he gives you magical flying boots if I remember right.

He makes me think of the guy from Jack 2...

 

[Evil Raccoon]

The dwarfs suddenly disappeared right?
Why not a setting where they suddenly re-appear, bent on taking back their cities and territories.
Or Valenwood sounds cool too.

 

[KingOfGreyfell]

AKAVIR. There are mods for everything else.

 

[Sozac]

My Top 3
1: Summerset Isle
2: Hammerfell
3: Akavir

For a cool project, they should really map out the homes of the different daedric princes because i personally loved the Shivering Isles.

 

[sbutler1]

Let's have a new Fallout before we start thinking about TES

True, but whats to stop a game being made that's set back in time when they did exist still?

 

[thedevildancer]

Let's have a new Fallout before we start thinking about TES

no i hate fallout they should make something brand new something cool and different

 

[Hexbrother]

I'm a new guy but im gonna say this Escapist this thread has made me upset mostly beacuse people want an ES game for black marsh and there has already been morrowind a swampy MARSHY type of place and I dont want another reapeat of morrowind and for valenwood theres been skyrim and if you look at the landscape most of it is trees so I really dont like the feeling of another foresty game I like new I dont like re-occuring events but hopfully they dont plunge into dewmer until way later on because dewmer is future type stuff and i dont want to get there yet but if I had a choice of three my top 3 would be :

1) Elsweyr- Mostly because its a new terrain and I like new terrain it would basiclly map out most of the remaning terrain left in Tamerial and it would create a good feeling for spears and things dropped in morrowind.Then hopefully they would add new creatures (not races mabye 1-2 new races) but new animals to ride new ceatures that are more flexble than your average bunny or wolf things like sand demons and gaint sand worms spirts of the sand etc.

2) Summerset Isle- Reason is the isles would be a kinda intro to Elswyer's texture frame give them time to revamp there graphics for sand and palm trees and new races etc.

3) High Rock- I know what your thinking why make another snow game... because really they didnt do so hot on the whole skyrim is made of snow thing most of it reminds me of a hot spring it rains... you would think it would snow all the time being so much north that all rain was snow.In high rock make it like the snowy parts of skyrim and blizzards and such.I was hoping they would (bethesda) beacuse they put so much non cold climated weather like they have forest that are very green and not snowed in.

if you think about it elswyr would be a great place or summerset because if you look at the game map in the link section then you would see beacuse the terrains of the 2 are very simalar but also different but they havent been "un-earthed" by us gamers making it a great place to start a kinda new feel to sand terrain.

The thing i want most changed of all is gameplay and events being like if it had rained then the roofs of houses would have streams of water coming off of them and have ships but when you travel on the ship it can get attacked by bandits or a monster beacuse the 1 thing i hate is the black screen (or loading screen) i want to cut that out and make it where like if you are traveling by carriage it actually shows you riding the carridge and you could get attacked by monsters the carrige could be getting robbed or bandits trying to take your things and the carridge driver would either reward you or make the ride free and give you gold back and also you could possably get quest from the driver and another thing is the NPC's AI are still very un-educated it's so stuipid to hear about the same quest you just did for a NPC and they act so astonished and they dont even know you did it like for example you just kill the main questline guy right and this chick says : did you hear so and so died and your like i know i did it and you cant even tell here and they say it all the time.and i want it to go into further detail of your fame or infamey and the events you choose in the game affect the main story and add multiple guilds such as in oblivion ES 4 the blackwood company and the fighters guild make it to were there are muilple guilds you may choose from like EX: the elven fighters .<... but make it like that for all guilds and make them spread out across the contenint and you can say join one guild to get a quest to ruin the other for a large sum of cash and im not talking 300- 500g like 2000-3000g and have the option of making your own guild to gain lots of fame and reputation to effect the main story line and make it to were you cant just walk into the castle you have to get invited or have a amount of fame for entry for EX: your talkin to a guard and the guard says Guard: Halt! you do not have the access to go into the castle. and your options are :

1) Let me through or i'll cut you down were you stand!

2) I am the savior of (Enter town name here)!

3) (if you have invation) Here is my invataion now move aside.

4) Ok then i'll be leaving.

That would be awesome.Giving the player so much felxablitly and choice in there coversations and make to where you could chose sides in the main story but it affects your fame and infamay just as much a bad deed like killing a person so you could still commume with people and others to see your goods and services but, if you had a certain amount of infamey than that person wouldn't like speaking to you and you would have to use your persasion to get them on you side.... at this point at 9:36 i had my brother come in and read this article and give his opion and things he would add such as :
Bringing back the arena and make it to where it takes like 3 days real time to beat the arena and make it to where you can fight at anytime not 1 a week atfer you win all matches and you fight giant orges not just humans (races) but like monsters or creatures to and make it to where monsters attack the town and atcually do damage to the town and you can help rebuild but like a 5% chance of it happening so you dont have to repair wall like every time you come to town and get money for your labor and rewards magic items etc. and more flying creatures not just hawks and dragons but like giant birds (cant tame) that swoop down and try to pick you up and make the controls more fluient like you can roll even though your sneak skill isnt lvl 70 i mean we learned how to roll when we were 2 years old and good god make the jumping animation better it sucks still >.> and i have ran into this problem in skyrim if you walk into objects laying on the ground they go flying and make it to were you actually have to buy a bag to store items in and until you do all you can carry in like 50 lbs like arrows and a sword or a 15 lb spear and you pick up items with your hand not with the who the heck knows the air i guess>. i am done. hope you like my opion thanks if you read this far i spent 2 and 1/2 hours typing this.links
