It's all but confirmed that this point that Elder Scrolls 6 will place a heavy emphasis on ship-building and swashbuckling. But the most interesting detail to come out of the devs' Pinterest gallery is the insanely heavy emphasis on undersea life. Clearly you'll be able to swim in this game. The question is: What kinds of undersea quests will you experience?
those bethesda fucks should stop attempting to "write" video game storylines and just release an 3D RPG maker
This is all headcanon btw
>>729200913Check the Pinterest, anon. They're uploading tons of Hammerfell-adjacent imagery in addition to the ocean stuff.
>>729200783>What kinds of undersea quests will you experience?Hopefully one that involves fucking an aquatic snake woman.
>>729201009>The coins have stars of Remphan on themHoly shit, that's a bit on the nose dont you think? The large greasy hooked nose...
>>729201009I only use Pinterest to see cute girls
>game that doesn't exist>it's all but confirmed
>Underwater quests>Suddenly the Argonian racial is worthwhileArgonian chads... I kneel
>It's all but confirmedDelete your life, nigger
>>729201402>Underwater plays a major role in general gameplay and the major storylines>Racial trait removed>Replaced with +5 to Pickpocketing
>>729200783>>729201009>another boring human provinceAre they creatively bankrupt? I want to see walking tees in valenwood or spiraling glass towers on summersetThe world already has enough arab inspire shitty games like ass creed, why the hell do we need more
>>729201316We have clues now. The Pinterest, images from the documentary, some of Todd's comments, and common sense all point in the same direction: Hammerfell as the setting (or perhaps Iliac Bay more generally), engine overhaul with integration of UE5, absolutely enormous scope, major improvement of NPC AI as a critical goal, Sword Singing combat, throwing stars and throwing daggers, major emphasis on ship/ocean gameplay. Todd has also strongly hinted at building construction being central.
>>729201660Todd is playing you all for fools. Those are all red herrings. Bethesda itself isn’t even working on TESVI. Todd created a whole secret studio to keep his magnum opus a secret. The game will take place in Elsweyr where Todd can live out his furry fantasies.
Hope they bring back underwater combat that we had in Morrowind
>>729200783Okay, see you in 2031 at the earliest.
>>729200783So Argonians with their waterbreathing will finally have a purpose? Lizard bros, we won.
>>729202286I don't think they can afford to wait that long. That would be a 20-year gap between games.
>>729202094I haven't played Morrowind. Is the underwater combat good?
>>729200897You can basically do that in RPG Maker MZ or whatever anyway. Mode 7 comes to mind as well.
>>729201575>is bethesda creatively bankrupt?
>>729201402It was pretty nice in Morrowind desu.
>>729200783>undersea life>the sea is the place all memories return to>it is where the dreugh live>dreugh civilization is a hypothetical construct that doesn't actually exist>TES6 is also a hypothetical game that doesn't existI applaud their attention to the lore
>>729201265quick rundown on pinterest gooning? Haven't tried this meta yet
>>729205328I thought Dreugh Civilization did exist?
>loading screen>proc gen oceans to explore
>>729201575Agreed. We already had the important parts of Hammerfell in an entire ass game and a spinoff.
>>729205842Daggerfall is Bethesda's baby. Going back to Hammerfell is like Rockstar going back to Leonida.
>TES games mocked as being presented as oceans but having the depth of a puddle>next game will be TES: Wind WakerThe ultimate endgame of this franchise, bask in it's vastness
>>729204957its just regular combat but you effectively "fly" in the water. idk what that guy is talking about, but the hidden dungeons in the water were cool.
>>729201575You lost
>>729200783>>729200783Was in Fez and ran into a group of them at the tanners. Picked up a wallet for $5, handmade stuff.Morocco is super underrated
>>729205095So no?
>>729201660>engine overhaul with integration of UE5There's literally no point in doing this, it's actually retarded if you think otherwise
>>729201575Meh if they skip Arabic architecture and to with a fantasy version moorish/Spanish/Moroccan that would be cool
>>729206919They're doing it already. Google it.
did we really need 3 fucking games in hammerfell
>>729206990Googled and there ain't shit to say they're hooking it to ue5. There's literally zero point in this far into production given the massive backend changed they made to their own inhouse engine.Ue5 would literally provide zero benefit and would kill the mod scene which is now a revenue generator for them
>>729207041Deserts are ideal for open-world settings because they allow for enormous emptiness without violating believability. It's part of why RDR works so well.
I thought it was Hammerfell + High Rock?
>>729207152Probably Iliac Bay in general, yes. But High Rock isn't confirmed the way Hammerfell is.
>>729207041Yeah i did what are you gonna do about it?
>>729207237High Rock would be far more interesting desu, Bretons are the race that flies under the radar the most, and getting to see Orsinium would be cool too.
>>729200783I guess we'll find out in another 6 to 12 years or not
Akaviri???
>>729206979Elder Scrolls 6 has a couple of Redguard tilesets, the crown one looks a bit strange where it is usually made up of three materials that are interwoven into each other to represent their religious practices because apparently their religion is heavily based on cycles. An example of how Crown tileset and clutter looks is imagine stuff like a building where one third of the bricks is made out of sand stone, then one third is made out of gold and one third is made out of white stone, then thee bricks are kind of in a "gradient" between each other, as for example of clutter that Crowns have is very goofy in my opinion its like imagine a vase made of clay then it deliberately has a leather "suit" and then a rope tied around all of that purely decoratively so that it is always 3 materials.Forebearer stuff is much closer to the kind of architecture you expect in north africa or coastal spain, arguably even with byzantine elements.There is also Yokudan architecture/tilesets/clutter etc. but it looks a bit weird, essentially it is mostly made out of giant megalithic stones, giant statues, pure stone walls, think of walls and statues in egypt like pyramids or something like Petra, just gigantic pure stone architecture with no other materials. That being said there are some decisions which I think are retarded, for example when you go to sunken old Yokudan ship dungeons you literally have chairs and tables made out of solid stone that was chipped away purely because modern day brainlet California art center concept artist has a single mode of thinking where if tileset is "made of stone" therefor everything is made of stone.
>>729201575>Are they creatively bankrupt?Yes
>>729207237It is basically only Hammerfell. But Bretons are present in a sense that there are Breton settlements in Dragonstar and Blighted Coast, as well as islands. Orcs are similarly present in Dragontail mountains and it is part of a small faction like questline where you can either help Orsinium cement its reach through Iron Orcs, or you completely eradicate Orsimer there aiding a local Bjoulsae chief trying to gain a fiefdom.
>>729210139actual leaks?
>>729200783fuck yeah, i can't wait for another wax figure simulator with terrible combat
>>729200783All but confir - Confirmed by fucking WHAT!?
>>729200783>Skyrim was fucking boring and casualized to shit>Fallout 4 was retarded in ways previously though impossible, roleplaying essentially out the window>Fallout 76 was one of the most embarrassing game launches in history, game also fucking sucked>Starfield was another boring, broken mess with a retarded story>Oblivion remaster is a spaghetti-coded broken mess, abandoned after contractually obligated minimum effort support patcheswhy do you people think this game will be worth playingdo you not have basic human pattern recognitionam I just talking to fucking spambots on this website
>>729210519>>729210139Holy shit, an actual legit leaker. Please tell us more.
>>729211705Skyrim was good. Bethesda generally knocks it out of the park when making an Elder Scrolls game.
>>729200783Argonian meta for hammerfellPlease yes
>>729200783when all leaks are already confirming a 2029 release date i find it hard to care
>>729207071So you're totally ignoring the ue5 renderer integration the oblivion remaster had? And you think they aren't going to continue with that, especially now their pet jeets 'know' how to use it?
>you can build shit because we're too lazy to make meaningful areas and questsENOUGH WITH THIS SHIT ALREADY, it's the exact reason why F4, F76 and Starfield sucked ass.
>>729200783How are they going to do boats and stuff with their engine?
>>729202094And in Oblivion.
I'm honestly less interested in where its going to be set and whether or not the "streamlining" will continue, if you go any further than Skyrim did I'm not sure you can even call it an RPG anymoreI just want spellcrafting and attributes back
>>729214573Given the focus on Daggerfall regions, there's a good chance they're going back to Daggerfall-inspired openness.
>>729213454They're integrating UE5 for stuff their engine can't do.
>>729213454Why would they not be able to? Starfield has spaceships and a buggy you can drive. Cars have even been modded into new vegas, there's nothing about the engine that can't support vehicles.
>>729201575>Are they creatively bankrupt?
play better games retard toddsucker
>>729201575Bethesda was creatively bankrupt from the start.
>>729216448I know this is a shitpost, but they were the most creative studio in the West for a good 10 years.
>>729200783great, more gimmiks
>>729209416It will never happen.
>>729206792I just lost the game...
>>729200783it pains me to say this but I just don't care anymore. I'll probably be around 40 when/if it comes out.
>>729200783Don't care about Elder Scrolls 6 or the IP.ESO made some trannies OC on the dev team a canon Daedric Prince, ESO introduced trannies, "non binary" and other degeneracy. ESO retconning men that did great feats into "actually their wife did it they just took credit". The communities involving Elder Scrolls are all full of trannies and degenerates that promote this shit along with tranny extremism such as killing JKRowling and trans kids. The last 2 main Bethesda games have used body types and the latest remake censored women's clothing while sexualising the furry bullshit.Elder Scrolls 6 will come out, everybody will moan about it being woke. It's been woke for the past 10 years.
>>729200783OK what's the shout equivalent here? since they basically just reused that in starfield
>>729200783I can't wait ot fight sand draugrs
>>729205403sorry but I can't reveal this one, I don't want to get perma banned if you know what I mean
>>729223128Sword Singing. Similar to the shouts, but it uses song and movement to alter reality.
>>729224878It'd be a 0 opacity npc that wields are sword, now that would be hilarious to see
>>729222124Im starting to think this and GTA are vaporwear
>>729222574We have the opportunity to tell elder scrolls to the modern audience
>>729222574>The communities involving Elder Scrolls are all full of trannies and degeneratestrue, all the guilds I briefly joined in eso were full of retards.
>TES6 confirmed to have beautiful Redguard women I'm hyped
>>729225594It already is.>>729225784UESP, the website that's existed longer than wikipedia is the same. Their chat channels and discord are full of woke nonsense.Admins posting memes about killing JK Rowling, mods and retards trying to bait social identity bullshit to ban you. Genuinely there's no community that isn't festered with them.
>>729211103>>729211769What do you want me to tell you? I can describe how assets look or infer some quests based on design documents I have. My knowledge is limited to that though.I also have concept art and assets I could post in theory, but I never figured out a way to do it without a way that would trace back to me. I even thought about making a mesh from scratch, but making it exactly according to design principles of cultures we have, that way it would look exactly like TES 6 but no way to trace to me. For now I can just describe stuff in exact one to one detail, and not some vague gameplay elements either.
>>729201575Just be honest and say it, you don't want it in Hammerfell because the population is black people. You don't have to hide it white boy.
>>729205608it does exist. As a hypothetical.
>>729227570I don't believe that you work for bethesda. Share some arcane piece of knowledge regarding the creation kit to prove you're legit.
>>729227757nta, but I'm bored of black people being paraded around as heroes because a few people are racist towards them and some historical bad shit they endured, sure.
>>729227971I could tell you only information that is relevant to me on the asset side. Most important thing that concerns me is that I had to deal with the horrible standard of .nif and the associated material structure which was a non pbr shader that used only albedo, normal maps and environmental cubemaps (as well as some other rare maps like parallax and glowmaps for rare occasions). I am not a veteran so cramming visual data into those constraints considering the fact that even internally there aren't sophisticated tools/plugins to interface with Maya (or 3dmax or blender for that matter) doesn't help. With CE2 there is a full PBR implementation that works like any other directX based map exports from my substance designer/painter would work, and on top of that .nif acts as a higher order organization file while actual assets are stored in a new .mesh file which acts closer to what you expect universally when studying game design. I don't know what you would consider esoteric either from visual side.
>>729201575>walking tees or spiraling glass towersWere you satisfied with jungles of Cirodiil or gigantic capital city? Because that's what you'll get in reagrds to cool locations.
>>729201575You are not going to get a beastfolk province, that's too risky for Zenimax. We'll get Hammerfell and High Rock and two Morrowind remakes before Elsweyr.
>>729227570I'll bite. Are there any 'new systems' that are being targeted for ES6 that you know about? Eg. Skyrim brought dual wielding in, is Todd going all out or trying to keep the status quo for the big bucks and playing it safe?
>>729201009May the sun always shine bright for the black children of Yokuda that now call Hammerfell their home!
>>729229075Setting a game in Hammerfell is way more riskier than a beastfolk or elf province with how much hate racist chud gamers have for black people nowadays, especially in fantasy.
>>729200783Would they nerf Argonians?
>>729201575>Are they creatively bankrupt?Does a bear shit in the woods?They've been creatively bankrupt since Morrowind, what happened is Todd's bloc gained control of the company and the creatives either left right away or adopted the new design philosophy and left a few years later.
>>729201402Remember when they removed Argonian's poison immunity in the one game where poison mattered? They'll do the same for water breathing.
>>729229215New systems for combat? From what I've seen weapon meshes bind during attack animations, there is active dodge step, there is limited climbing similar to something like MGS V or RDR2, you can levitate but it actively burns your magic so you can not do it for long. The game will not be out for at least two more years and I work on the visual side mostly from PDF design documents, I do not even have a playable build of the game freely available to me so I can tell you only what I have seen or has been shown during teams calls. I mean I can describe everything in detail from what I've seen but I have never actually played any build. I generally don't know how to prove myself and I don't think it matters, I will just describe visuals in high detail to a degree where you will be able to tell it was real when it will be revealed.
>>729201009by the way, that pinterest was real, it was a major backlash because it belongs to one of our lead art directors/artists ray lederrer. if he was not one of the oldest current artists on the team who is personal friends with all the other leads he would probably be fired and sued into oblivion.
>>729227757Yeah I dont. I dont think anything "africa inspired " in any media is interesting. There is zero diversity in culture, tech, civilization, language, arts, and of it. Its just not there or its extremely crude when its made. The re-imaginings of africa are similarly boring, such as wakanda. All it is, is the gaudy boring crude parts, but the "good" version
>>729229753It is almost zero percent Subsaharan africa, it is instead almost entirely Mediterranean or north Africa, including Morocco and Egypt. Subsaharan stuff is represented only through ashaba faction in alikr desert.
>>729201009I'm fine with Hammerfell as a setting as long as there are no niggers
>>729213253They didn't even develop the Oblivion remaster you actual fucking tard. It was contracted out to Virtuous, and the only reason they did the UE5 thing (which was essentially just putting skins over the existing game) with it was because it was easier than remaking the entire fucking game in the modern Creation engine. For what reason would they possibly develop TES6 in their modern Creation engine with modern graphics only to then use UE5 to skin over it with different modern graphics in the manner of the Oblivion remaster.
>>729213309fallout 4 is an unironic 9/10 thobeit, and starfield only sucked because the procgen was garbage and there was zero reason to engage with the outpost "building" at all nor does the game even demand that you ever do it in the first place
>>729200783Weren’t we able to swim in most of the series?
>>729227757in fact I want it in Hammerfell precisely because the women are all caramel goddesses who I'm going to have explicit xxx-rated intercourse with for the purposes of procreation while killing at least 90% of all male redguard I meet.
>>729231465Yeah and it's a key part of the Argonian racial passive where they can breathe underwater. You can also create walk on water spells
