#The Elder Scrolls VI

[ilinalta]

honestly, at this point I am not sure if i have any hopes fort TES6 being remarkable and, for me, it boils down to how we treat video games and media in general

TES is such a strong franchise because it was build when consuming media was SLOW. even up to morrowind you can't rush through it and make every choice carefully, as you're constantly risking losing your next battle if you are not careful enough.

oblivion and skyrim have both rapidly and vastly diverted from a very slow gameplay model, but still offered the depth of exploration for those who seek it. they still had books scattered all around, unmarked locations to find, when you simply were trying to catch the sunset from the best possible spot.

but i worry that this was the last moment to do that, to still write 300+ books found in the game and hope someone would read at least a few of them.

i worry that the greed, yes, but also the pace at which we are expected to consume makes this type of depth redundant.

Imagine if Bethesda makes The Elder Scrolls VI take place somewhere in that 200 year span between Oblivion and Skyrim would that be fucked up or what?

#zero questions answered and you play as some dude #also 200 years is way too long a time between the games #imagine if it was like 40 or so and we could meet npcs who were kids during the oblivion crisis and talk about it and have war flashbacks #the elder scrolls #skyrim #tes #elder scrolls #the elder scrolls skyrim #elder scrolls vi #the elder scrolls vi #elder scrolls skyrim #the elder scrolls v: skyrim #oblivion #the elder scrolls oblivion #elder scolls oblivion #tes oblivion #tes skyrim #the elder scrolls iv: oblivion

Confession: I know it goes against the general 'spirit' of the games but I'd love housing with clear boundaries in TES VI. Basically I'm tired of finding giants in my yard. Leave my chickens alone! I have kids here!

Although this was already widely suspected, Todd Howard has confirmed in an interview with IGN that after TESVI releases, their next game will be Fallout 5. So their current upcoming game lineup is Starfield -> The Elder Scrolls VI -> Fallout 5

Is it too much to ask that Joey Batey voice a bard in TES6 given how long we’re having to wait for the game, or...?

What I Want From Elder Scrolls VI: Thievery

My favorite factions in Skyrim are the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood. They just have the best storyline out of the three. But there are things I wish were better for the next game. Some of these may be repeats from my post on what I want from Factions in general, but these are geared more toward the specifics of Thief Build gameplay.

1. Donning Disguises should do more: In the Dawnguard DLC, there’s a mission where you are sent to a major city with Dawnguard armor to kill a high profile civilian to frame Dawnguard and turn the public against them. This is a really cool idea... but you still get the bounty even though you’re disguised and framing someone else. I’d love to see the Dark Brotherhood use this sort of set-up, but if you’re disguised, you shouldn’t get the bounty. That’s the whole point of framing someone else. What about bounties? Simple. If your face is shown, the bounty goes to the character. If your face is covered, the bounty goes to the “masked person” as it were.

2. Side Quests should have lasting consequences: In the Thieves Guild, there are radiant quests where you plant evidence in people’s homes, forge documents, rob stores, and loot houses. But once you turn in the quest, there’s no lasting consequence on the outside world. Shopkeepers you loot don’t complain about a recent burglary. You never see anyone arguing with the city guard about being accused of a crime from planted evidence. I’d like to see it in the next installment that there’s a real consequence to your actions.

3. You should be allowed to be a solo thief/assassin: Sometimes you want to join the Thieves Guild. Sometimes, you want to compete against the thieves guild. I don’t have high hopes something like this  could be implemented, but I’d love it if the player could form their own guild and compete against the in-game guilds. Obviously, the Dark Brotherhood would come after you for stealing an assassination, and the Thieves Guild will try to sabotage you if you start cutting in on their action.

4. Poison needs to be more potent: Short of mods, poisons really aren’t that suitable as a means of killing people silently. Granted, that means poison will be more effective against the player, but that’s a small price to pay for playing as a poisonous assassin. Perhaps give the player the ability to bottle diseases as well, allowing skilled poisoners to use germ warfare to weaken enemies.

5. Thieves need to be good in a direct fight: While I understand thieves are weaker than Warriors and don’t have the magical power of Mages, Thieves can deal a lot of damage when they sneak. But, once the thief is noticed, they’re really weak. They’re not useless in a fight, but giving thieves and assassins a means of fighting better once caught is helpful. Perhaps they’re more evasive and better at dodging damage, or they have a higher chance of critical hits to make up for their weaker damage output.

6. Add a Dagger Skill to the One-Handed Perk Tree: They have a means of improving swords, axes, and maces. But not daggers. This goes along with the last point, just giving Thieves a means of keeping pace on damage without always relying on sneak attack.

7. More Varied Missions: Maybe the Dark Brotherhood would have you pose as a perspective mage to sneak into the mage’s college in order to assassinate a target. Maybe the Thieves’ Guild would give you a job to break into a noble’s house to steal weapon and leave a replica. Later on, that noble gets into a fight and oops, their weapon is inferior and they get killed as a result. There’s a lot of cool jobs you could do that would fit the thieving assassin archetype that don’t get used. Infiltrating the Thalmor Agency is almost more rogue-ish than some of the actual missions you get in the Thieves’ Guild.

8. Reputation: What’s the point of being a wanted thief if you’re not something of a legend? If nobody’s talking about the master thief or your exploits the way they do about Gretel the Kind being killed in Riften? This would work in tandem with the mask/unmask system, so you can effectively maintain two very different reputations. By daylight, you can be a respectable nobleman, while by night, you’re an infamous thief.

9. The Story Continues: Congrats, you’re the leader of the Thieves’ Guild and the Dark Brotherhood.... now what? Even as the Leader of the Thieves’ Guild, you still report to Delvin and Vex for your quests, even though you’re their superior. You don’t get to plan heists or send underlings on missions. Same with being the leader of the Dark Brotherhood, you just get an endless sidequest of assassinations from the Night Mother. You have the power over the guilds, but you don’t get to do anything with it. I want to actually get to do something as the guild leader.

10. Important NPCs should be Assassination Targets: In Skyrim, important NPCs are protected so you can’t cut off a quest line. But here’s the thing, it’s not always immersion-friendly to play through every single storyline in every playthrough. Killing off high profile NPCs not only makes you feel like a better assassin, it also has lasting consequences, which forces players to weigh their options and make tough choices.

11. Add a mechanic for hiding bodies: They can’t accuse you of murder if they can’t find the body, right? Give the player the option to dumb bodies over walls or hide bodies in bushes or lakes so the guards don’t realize there’s an enemy in the midst of them.

12. Allow Spouses and Children to Join: Your spouse can already walk through the Cistern without getting attacked and can join you on missions, but they can’t become a member? Nor can you train your child in your skill sets to follow in your footsteps and become an apprentice/rookie in your guild. I just think it’d be cute to murder the emperor as a fun family activity. A family that steals together stays together.

13. Bring Back Guild Ranks: The worst thing about Skyrim is being literally the newest member of any guild, and being trusted with the most important jobs in the guild almost immediately. I don’t want to just walk in off the street and become Guild Master in less than a week of joining. I should have to work my way up the ranks and earn the respect of my crew. It was there in Oblivion, but by Skyrim, they’d done away with it for the worse. Please bring it back. I want to earn my reward.

14. Perform the Black Sacrament: It’s kinda weird you can’t hire a Dark Brotherhood agent, right? That you can’t put a hit out on an NPC? I’d love to see it where you can pull a Maven and sick the Dark Brotherhood on the Nazeems of this world.

15. Lockpicking is a bit of an issue: I don’t have a problem with how lockpicking is done in Skyrim, but it’s one of the only mandatory skills because dungeons often have locks you have to pick in order to advance. While this isn’t a problem for Thief builds, it’s less in-character when you’re playing as a Mage or Warrior. Either put keys in dungeons so non-thieves don’t have to invest in a skill they may not want, or allow mages and warriors to open doors with their magic or strength. Give the Mage an “open lock” series of spells, apprentice locks are always unlocked with an apprentice spell, novice locks with a novice spell. etc. It levels your Alteration skill. Warriors just smash the door, but if it’s someone’s house, you get a bounty, and you alert everyone nearby.
