Where Will The Next Elder Scrolls Game Take Place?

It will be hard for Bethesda to decide where the next Elder Scrolls game will take place, but there's one choice that stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Good, good question. I wonder...but I'm hoping for Valenwood.

ljh2175231d ago

I think summerset isle makes more sense at the moment. It would be interesting to see the Aldmeri Dominion side of things. It's a stab in the dark though, with Elder Scrolls games sometimes being set quite far apart in time.

The Elder Scrolls VI: N4G...

"Good news everyone! I just killed the flame troll!"

"Bubbles!"
"bubble up dude!"
"-Disagree-!"

"Check out theze instanely cheap pants prizes at my store! only 29.99 septims!"
"Stop, criminal scum! No lollygagging!"

"I thought that elf from the Nintendo village was going to hunt the troll?"
"Nah, he wasn't powerful enough."
"Ever noticed that only old people and kids live there? Anyways, let's get lunch"
"-Agree-"

I'd like to go back to Oblivion and see what the Capital looks like again after all these years but that's just me.

The Elder Scrolls VI: Elsweyr... nuff said!

soundslike5231d ago

I would agree for the scenery

but the name is seriously in need of a change. Elsweyr? Really?

I come from elsewhere...

They have to be kicking themselves for not renaming that before it was cemented into the lore. If theres a game set in Elsweyr, theres no way it will be named by the region its set in.

Saladfax5230d ago

This'd be one of those times when I'd say a retcon wouldn't be the worst idea. Elseweyr... urgh. I'm fine with attempts at cleverness, as long as it's subtle =\

MAJ0R5230d ago

maybe they should consult Naughty Dog for their sand technology

Just combine Valenwood and Elsweyr. With Valenwood being a willing part of the Aldmeri Domion and a possibility of Elsweyr having a conflict of tradition vs the Aldmeri Domion, it could make an interesting story. Plus, together, they're like the size of Cyrodiil.

Valenka5230d ago

Yes! Excellent point, SN. The Khajiit will definitely be against the Aldmeri Dominion.

well skyrim took a lot of people to glitchville so the next place is anyones guess

Bundi5231d ago

Must have been one of those zones that were exclusive to the ps3, lucky bugger.

Bioshocking5230d ago

I might own a PS3, and am pissed of at the quality of the game...

Your comment made me laugh...

Kudos

I think we need another refreshed look at places explored before Morrowind and Oblivion .

That or a rather intense trip linking Valenwood, elsweyr and blackMarsh (and maybe even summerset) ... otherwise those locations seems boring and not diverse enough on their own

Also the easiest way to explore the aldmeri dominion lands through a game , could be to set the story during or at the start of the great . Providing also access to invaded hammerfell and other imperial lands

Fylus5231d ago

Well all over the ES forums, there were A LOT of people that predicted the Summerset Isles to be the game after Oblivion (LONG before anyone knew anything of Skyrim). I'd bet that the Summerset Isles will play a bigger role in the next game considering how much mystery there is about it. There would be so many magical (literally) places there to explore.

DanSolo5231d ago (Edited 5231d ago )

Well although it would be an option to do one of the places that have not been done before, I think it's also a very reasonable choice to go back to earlier places...

A lot of new players have started with Skyrim, and others Started on Oblivion... and a large part of the fanbase, myself included, started with Morrowind so any earlier places like Hammerfell would be new territory to a lot of us, and as it was a while back I'm sure most old time Elder Scrolls veterans would be fine with a return there as well.

To be honest they could probably even get away with doing a new game in Morrowind for the same reason as above, lot's of new players have never experienced it and the ones that did always say it was better than Oblivion ect.... so with a big overhaul it could easily be done!

@ABOVE: Baka
That option would make sense to link up some of the other places, as that would fix the issue of each place being too samey.

Drake1175231d ago

I think that morrowind actually has a huge chance of being an expac or DLC as they now call it for Skyrim. Im guessing its now a much smaller province after Red Mountain erupted and i think that the argonians in black marsh might have even taken over some southern parts also decreasing its size lol. Perfect xpac size.

Takoulya5231d ago

Unfortunately, I've read that Bethesda is not planning on different areas of Tamriel for DLC.

Drake1175231d ago

bah good god i hope thats not true lol

adamant7155231d ago

Probably outside of Tamriel. There must be other places, right?

pr0digyZA5231d ago

Yes in the elder-scrolls lore there are other continents.

Engines not the problem per say. If there is a “problem “ it lies in Bethesda’s design philosophy and direction.

Todd Howard on 10 years of Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls 6: 'We needed a creative reset'

They need to look at Morrowind and see what the progression should have been from there instead of the regression we got with the next 2 games. They weren’t horrible games but they could have been so much more.

-Foxtrot182d ago

Fallout 4 just felt too streamlined and accessible to me, the perk system was not as fun as it was in Fallout 3, not saying Fallout 3 didn't have issues but 4 just felt like a complete step back.

mastershredder182d ago

So the part where you just sold the same games for the last 10 years while you focused on 76 and merch, was not a reset from the "creative" aspect eh? How very Todd of you.

lukasmain181d ago

I bought Fallout 4 (I loved Fallout 3) at launch and I couldn't bring myself to finish it or even get close to finishing it. It was soooo damned boring and bland. I played on a very hard difficulty and I had hundreds of stimpaks. One of the only games I've played for a while and not ended up finishing it. I hated it. Just flat out hated it.
