The /v/ leaker back in June was right. It is TES 6 Sentinel, which Michael Kirkbride himself just confirmed. Are we looking at kino /v/?
no thanks, i'll patiently wait until they actually announce something before i discuss this.
Cant wait to buy this game 7 different times over the next 20 years.
>>745215139Is TES the only franchise where the empire is the good guys?
>>745215139Can't wait to defeat Thalmor as a High Elf
Bethesda are incapable of putting a naval battle in a game
>>745215242This but unironically
>the return of morrowind's spells and magic systemquantify what that means without feels and tell me how its different from skyrim.tell me right now with a straight face that you use burden, sound, frenzy, demoralize, absorb fatigue, sanctuary, slowfall, lock, disease resistance or damage over time magic without larping.
>>745215329I mean it’s lore accurate, the Empire is human centric but allows elves and beast races to join if they’re loyal
>>745215395I used the fuck out of alteration spells like fortify jump, slow fall, and levitate in Morrowind it makes getting around a breeze. Like when you usually go to the Morag Tong quest giver in the arena district of Vivec you can cut down like 20 seconds of walking around the stairs and up once you’re in the morag tong building by just casting fortify jump and hopping up to him, it’s kino
>>745215139i think the idea of an empire whose center of power is the globalist merchant race is lame and should be destroyed
>>745215309They're the good guys because their enemies are elf nazis that want to destroy the world.
>>745215139>"leak" that the next game is in the most likely place for the next game to be>wow the leaker was right
>>745215309they're not consistently shown as good, as seen in skyrim and redguardthey're just a major recurring faction
If it's not Summerset Isles I'm not buying
>>745216329Even before that they were good. The players were never supposed to dislike the Empire (at least the Septim Empire) so they've always been portrayed as a benevolent Empire.
>>745216423not like it matters. to them the only regions that have particularly distinct biomes are elswyr and morrowind. everywhere else is just varying degrees of temperate woodlands.
>>745216445They were not portrayed as benevolent in Redguard, but as an occupational force.
>>745216445They are significantly better to live under than the Aldmeri Dominion, the old Alyeid empire, and also the Dark Elves. Frankly living under the thumb of Elves in TES is bad for basically everyone, even the Elves.
>>745216445Morrowind was divided into Imperial vs Native Dunmer factions and Oblivion was the seat of the empire so of course they were liked there.
>>745216571Wasn't Redguard set in the 2nd era? Thats not the Septim Empire
>which [Guy who left the studio 20 years ago] himself just confirmed
>restore the empire to its golden ageNo, I doubt even Todd would make his game outright clash with the main theme of the entire series (the decline of an empire)
>>745215338THISwhy is nobody talking about what a shitshow the naval battles will be
>>745216617And Morrowind is allowed to do as they please without much Imperial oversight per the terms that they agreed to join the Empire under. ESO retconned this with their Morrowind expansion but the Imperial colonization in Vvardenfell is supposed to be relatively new
>>745215139>Expect massive naval battlesThis is going to be a shitshow I can feel it.
>>745216647>guy who left the studio as a full time employee 20 years ago but was contracted to work on Skyrim and an ESO expansion later
>>745215139how am I, let me correct that, how is ANYONE supposed to be excited for this after starfield?
>>745216646It is the Septim empire. It is during Tiber Septims conquest. >"It is late in the second era, a time of war as the Empire of Tiber Septim sweeps through the kingdoms of Tamriel in a glorious bid for conquest. Septim is opposed on all sides, but never more fiercely than by Hammerfell the ancestral home of the Redguards. The High King of Hammerfell, Thassad II resists the Imperial invasions even as he sees other kingdoms crumble until, at last, without warning and surprisingly devoid of court treachery, death takes its full measure. With its High King dead, Hammerfell is crippled plunging into a bloody civil war between the Crowns, fighting for their homeland's continued sovereignty, and the Forebears, who have finally accepted the Emperor's rule. The Crowns, led by the heir to Thassad, Prince A'Tor, are continually victorious, spilling the blood of the Forebears across Hammerfell's sands."
>game about exterminating ThalmorI'll buy
I wonder how much of the game is going to focused on the Redguards being transformed from brown desert people into full on niggers and all sorts of modern race theory bullshit.
>>745215338They'll be reskinned starfield ship fights but without lock on so they last longer to feel more epic(tm). EM weapons replaced with ship mage for boarding actions.
>>745216414Empire is still generally the good guys in Skyrim though. Their opponents in that game are elves that want to destroy the world and the would-be tyrant they've bankrolled and given a game plan to.
>>745216976What's wrong with destroying the material world in order to ascend to the true state. It is Lorkhan who was evil for tricking the aedra and trapping the elhnofey.
>>745216976"Good guys" if you ignore them stomping on the rights of their subjects at the behest of a foreign government that is also allowed to walk in and do whatever they please, to abide by a peace treaty that made them the weaker party. The Empire in Skyrim is probably the worst its ever been. The Civil War might as well be the fantasy equivalent of Globohomo going into a nation to reinforce the gay agenda despite the wishes of the natives.
>>745215139Who the fuck cares? What kind of lobotomite would give money to Bethesda or Microsoft at this point?
>>745216976>>745217082The Redguard pantheon is Padomaic btw
>modern beth doing anything goodnah i don't believe it, it will somehow be more casual than skyrim
>>745215139>massive naval battlesSkyrim civil war but on instanced ships>castle and stronghold buildingWelcome back Fallout 4, now I have to pick up every broom I see for the straw>return of Morrowind’s magic systemNo one played Morrowind so this is impossible to verify.
>>745217152I know, it's very based, and for some reason they still resist the Thalmor. I wonder why?
Do you think TES7 will release in our lifetime, bros?
Todd was influenced by LOTR for Oblivion Reign of Fire and Bioshock for SkyrimWhat has influenced him for Sentinel?
>>745216976reminder that thalmor patrols stop after a stormcloak victory but continue after an imperial one
>>745217273hopefully the idea of wanting to make 1 last good game before he retires
>>745217273Dune obviously.
>>745217520Dune was Morrowind, zoomer
>>745217551I'm 34.
>>745215139>Are we looking at kino /v/?>No Jeremy SouleLol lmao
>>745217520Morrowind
>>745217126>"Good guys" if you ignore them stomping on the rights of their subjects at the behest of a foreign governmentIt's not ignoring it. They're just still the better, good guys within the conflict in Skyrim. It's still just the Empire vs the Thalmor, with the Thalmor using their lackey Ulfric to incite an international incident. You always wanna kill the traitor before your enemy, and so any Son of Skyrim would slaughter the Stormcloaks for being controlled Elf opposition.
>>745217358>reminder that thalmor patrols stop after a stormcloak victoryNo they don't. You still see many of the Thalmor's Stormcloak Patrols in the area
>>745215139kirkbride hasn't worked at bethesda for decades >>745215338yeah yeah you idiots said the same about space ship battles and vehicles and promptly got btfo hard
>>745215139>navel battles >castle building >Morrowind magic system Literally none of that will be happening LMAO
>>745216646the Septim Empire are literally the bad guys of the entire game
Man i prefer my interpretation where the thalmor win, tear down the white gold tower, then have an existential crisis when the world doesn't end and they realize all the suffering and sacrifice was for nothing. High elf society and culture collapses and high elves become the racial punching bag for a while.
>>745215139
>>745217919Same. I like your version too.
>>745215139>more niggers and woke shitYawn, pass. I guess I will mod Skyrim till I die
>>745215139I literally don't care. I'm gonna need the gooner modders to mod that shit as soon as it releases.
>>745215395>without larpingHow the fuck else are you supposed to play an RPG?Are you fucking being a metagaming munchkin or something?
>>745218118With cbbe models straight from 2010?
>>745218109If you're a drooling retard who still plays skyrim in 2026 then your opinion is invalid, so shut the fuck up.
>>745218128He's a zoomer and zoomers don't know that larping means live action role-playing, they think it just means poser
>>745215139>Are we looking at kino /v/?No all the original morrowind/oblivion/ even skyrim devs all left years ago because of bad corporate leadership decisions like not promoting people who deserved it and wasting time trying to make Rust 2.0 with Fallout 76.Its gonna be Skyrim 1.5 with the same dogshit engine and problems the series has always had. They'll market it off nostalgia to the Zillenial crowd who liked skyrim because that's their only angle. Tons of other series have done "big open world RPG" so much better than bethesda ever could. They missed their moment to release this game in the mid/late 2010s. After the flop bethesda will be dissolved/eaten by other studios just like the others under microsoft's wing.
>castle and stronghold buildingIf I want that I'll play Stronghold Crusader
Let's pretend this fanfic is canon.Naval battles? How.If we look at starfield. Did they have giant battles in space? If there are multiple ships going around on a 2d plane. Sure. I guess. I hope we can customize our fleet.
Morrowind has Tamriel Rebuilt and Skyrim: Home of the NordsSkyrim has Beyond BrumaWhat good fan created expansions exist for Oblivion?
>>745218208>skyrim sucks!>defends a worse skyrimfucking retard I bet you like starfield too
>>745215338It's going to reskinned off the assets and mechanics of the space ships in Starfield kek
>>745218183Next gen tes 6 sex mods will keeps tes 6 alive longer than skyrim
Can't wait for the /v/ meltdown once they realize that like Skyrim having many many nords, Sentinel will have many many red guards lol
>>745218183Why not, the models and rigs are still probably more detailed then what bethesda will put into vanilla.
>>745218338We wuz Kangz of Tamriel and SHIET.Siddown, puny imperial cracka.
>>745215139>by defeating the ThalmorI call bullshit on this. I don't think Modern Bethesda/Microsoft is that based.
>>745217273>What has influenced him for Sentinel?starfield
>>745215338The ships will be just hats on top of invisible NPCs
>>745218282The final mission in the crimson fleet questline had a big battle
>>745218338>Sentinel will have many many red guards lolsome say it's the perfect murderhobo game
>trusting kuckbride the schizo fanfiction LARPerLOL
>>745217273Diablo IV and Conan Exiles judging by what Todd and Emil said multiple times
>>745218338At least that means we can use frost magic again and not have it be resisted by 2/3rds of the population
>>745215242what the actual fuck is wrong with consoomers
>>745218338>Break into home>Redguards have nothing worth stealing>Leave>Get mugged on the way homeDoesn't sound very fun to me anon!
tes 6 with 100% have either legendary items like fallout 4 or loot rarity like starfield
So what if they bring back the settlement system from F4, and we build towns to rebuild the empire.The the starfield system of build (almost) everywhere.And instead of the device they used in SF, we put down a campsite, get a radius and starting from there. Find stewards like skyrim had, put them in command and either zone it like Sim settlements or micromanage the shit.Then we have a ship/base from where we roam the seas like blackflag, but can customize or decorate it like starfield.
>>745218282Starfield typically did waves of enemies, but the end of the pirate questline has a 6 on 6 with a big set piece thing.Cutting an entire axis as well as having slower projectiles likely means they don't need small numbers to balance it. But I wouldn't expect any kind of serious double digits vs double digits naval battles, they'd probably lock you into an area with low quality models in the distance to give the illusion of large battles.
if you actually buy this instead of pirating knowing how shit microshabbos and goythesda is, then i really dont know what to tell you, you might be tel avivs most powerful golem
>>745218443>Diablo IV and Conan ExilesAh I understand. This game is not for me!
>>745218572I don't like any of thatHearthfire's home construction was good enough for me
>>745215139Sounds like slop to me
>>745218572>>745218618But how will this work? There's no gunpowder in the TES setting so no cannons.
>>745218572I can already see the gooner mods of replacing all of your ship crew with half naked bimbo sluts.
>>745218396It could work. It could work like shit, but work.>>745218572Build settlements, strong holds, castles.I don't want to get excited about this.
>>745218541same intelligence as nords btw
>>745215309They're hardly the good guys however unlike most fantasy/scifi they're not your typical evil oppressive empire. There is a solid argument to be made that the empire is a net benefit to Tamriel despite it's downsides.
>>745218693Magic. The answer is magic.
>>745218693Canonically redguards have cannons. But you can have archers, mages, and trebuchets/ballistas as guns, and the meat of naval combat is ramming/boarding.
>>745218769but that seems so gay.....
>>745218378lmao
>>745217232The Thalmor are Anuic.
>>745218728nooooo
>>745218572>So what if they bring back the settlement system from F4, and we build towns to rebuild the empire.fuck no please, give me the camp building system from 76 where you can just put a camp down anywhere on the map, or at the very least a skip building/build whatever you want button
>>745218701And slaves, slaves everywhere
>>745218693this setting is so god awful and inconsistent that they might as well just give them gunpowder. when you have settings like this that is supposedly set the earliest out of all the games and redguard where everybody looks like a pirate from 1700s with modern looking ships, then idk what the fuck this series is trying to do at all.
>>745217713Insane amount of mental gymnastics required to consider Ulfric a lackey of the Thalmor but Tullius and the Empire somehow are not lackeys of the Thalmor.
>>745215395>NOOO STOP RPing!>you dont NEED to use that spell! people like you are the reason the games took a nose dive. What if i want to roleplay a necromancer or warlock type charatcer who only uses summons and debuffs? I could play a paladin in morrowind who uses buff spells to buff my strength, speed, HP, or whatever, skyrim doesnt have that because devs only wanted players to play in their rigidly designed playstyles uses like 4 spell schools.>absorb fatigueactually good because it lowers enemies hit,dodge,block chance and keeps yours at its peak.>sanctuaryactually pretty good on a character that is going for more avoidance.>slowfallactually OP because you only needed 1 for it to prevent ALL fall damage, and you could use spells to boost jump height.>disease resistanceif you know you are fighting a diseased mob then why not? if it prevents a really bad disease that cant be cured by common disease cures then its worth it.>damage over time magicthey are more efficient
>>745218903ESO is so ugly. Redguard did it better.
>>745215139I knew todd is gonna cook. never doubted my guy for a second, even after he released starflop
>>745215329Plenty of Altmer don't like the Thalmor, same as how plenty of Germans didn't like the Nazis.
>>745215139>the return of morrowind's spells and magic systemDoubt.webp
We better get hand crafted dungeons instead of the horrendous procedural generation we got in starfield
>>745218938The civil war is beneficial to the Thalmor, and so in that sense Ulfric is beneficial as long as he continues his rebellion. Tullius represents the status quo, meaning his culpability is not the same as UlfricsThat said, a Stormcloak victory is against the Thalmor's interests in the same way an Empire victory is
>>745215395Not him, but in Oblivion burden is expensive and doesn't do much beacuse theives usually just have the clothes on their back and a weapon to their name and can handle most stock burden casts. Feather on the other hand is extremely cheap and useful at all times. Absorb fatigue is fun as a meme enchantment to ragdoll enemies, and damage over time spells are more cost effective than direct damage of the same total damage(+weakness stacking makes it do insane damage.) Haven't done an illusion playthrough, but it could be fun pushing the limits of speechcraft and maybe a more pacifist run with it. Dunno about the magic costs in Morrowind and if they make any of these Oblivion strats less viable.
>>745215139Reminder that kirkbride and kuhlmann both wanted the thalmor to win in tes6, and todd promised to let them do it. But he changed his mind and gave them the boot because he decided he wanted another generic save the world plot
>>745219073Can't even say the dungeons were procedurally generated in Starfield since all dungeon types had at most 3 different layouts
>>745215139>Fake spoilers with a sprinkle of truth for marketingIt's funny because this is exactly how Bethesda marketed Oblivion Remastered. They shilled "leaks" and they're going to do it again pretending that it's the best thing to exist when in reality it's Saarfield without guns.
>roll credits>OUR TEAMS:>7 teams based in California>7 teams based in Canada>7 teams based in India
>>745218938Because it's stated explicitly in-game that Ulfric is a lackey and that the Thalmor oppose the Empire
>>745219123Magic was even more useful and OP in Morrowind
>>745219130Thalmor victory would have been so fucking based.
>>745215139Why it has skyrim insignia dou
>>745215395>Tell me that you use one of the morrowind's most expansive and useful trademark features Uhh..ok. I do. Don't you? Even if you're not playing a mage the more in-depth magic system still effects your enchanted gear, your scrolls, and your enemies.
>>745219168See >>745219084Ulfric is an asset in the sense that he's destabilizing Skyrim and by extension the Empire. He isnt actively conniving with the ThalmorThat said, Ulfric is still gay
>>745219130It's an rpg tho... shouldn't there be an option of joining the thalmor and winning?
>>745219021its the same shit. redguard is ugly as fuck and has retarded art direction as well. everybody looks like a disney pirate from the 1700s running around in this supposedly ancient and medieval world. completely inconsistent same as all the other games. at least in morrowind the ships are sensible to the degree of technological process shown throughout the game, sans the dwemer, obviously.
>>745219031Sure thing, Hans *wink wink*
>>745219073the lack of procedural dungeons in starfield was its biggest problem
>>745219275The Dunmer are primitive kikes though.
>>745219273RPG does not just mean "i am in control of literally everything that happens in the game"
>>745216976Le dying puppet state descended from the genocidal conquerer who stomped everyone into submission with a giant Gundam are Le good guys because they seemed nice in elder scrolls 4 or some shit hehe
>>745219275The 2nd era isnt antiquity in Nirn, though. Thats the merethic and dawn era and most of the 1st era.
>>745219264>Ulfric is an asset in the sense that he's destabilizing SkyrimUlfric is an asset in the sense that it's EXPLICITLY STATED THAT HE WORKS FOR THE THALMOR, DID WHAT THEY WANTED, THAT THE MARKARTH INCIDENT MET THEIR GOALS, AND THAT HE HAS ONLY BECOME ""GENERALLY"" UNCOOPERATIVE TO DIRECT CONTACTWITHOUTTAKINGDIRECTCONTACTOFF THE TABLE
>>745218541not-nogs and not-russians have the same intelligenceusually i wouldnt advocate for realism in RPGs but i'll accept this one
>>745219168it's also stated explicitly in game that the Empire is the lackey of the Thalmor.
>>745218469slander
>>745219347Numidium was only used at the end of Tiber's conquests in Elsweyr
>another game people will pretend to care about only to see how bad it is like GTA
>>745219264Don't waste your time anon.The average person is too retarded to comprehend how they're describing him as an asset. The fact that you're having to argue it 15 years later is proof of that.Don't lower yourself to retardom.
>>745219334the imperial ships look like this as wel. you look at all the races and their progress and it matches with everything else quite well. just look at the imperial cities/settlements in morrowind as well. dont tell me you think this and redguard match up at all aesthetically or technologically
>>745219369No, you lack basic reading comprehension skills. Must be American, Common Core really did a number on your country's literature
guaranteed Sentinel is the inhouse naeits gonna e hammerfall
>>745219084>Tullius represents the status quo, meaning his culpability is not the same as UlfricsI don't see how this excuses the fact that Tullius does more to help the Thalmor than Ulfric does.
>>745219437Didn't he commit a Hiroshima on summer set isles that created some kind of time paradox which altmer mages are still containing
>>745219498>just ad hom because he can't actually cite anything in the dossier to the contrary because it's laid out in plain fucking englishEat my ass and rim every last crease of it you fucking faggot
>>745215309there is the franchise real life where America is the only good guy also
>>745219130why didn't they make the elves cute like this in game
>>745219568Activation of Numidium in Elsweyr at the end of the Second Era likely caused a dragon break, yes
>>745215139Whatever cobbled together monstrosity version of Gamebryo they're currently using can't handle any of that reliably. Also:>Returning to provinces that have already recieved mainline entry attention instead of fleshing out one that's never been done before Big mistake.
>>745219172With or without alchemy abuse?
>fantasy setting >Has one major faction called "The Empire">Everyone on the continent speaks the same language>The currency is "gold coins" and it's used everywhere and has been for thousands of years
>>745219572Let's just get this out of the way.Yes or no, do you think that Ulfric met with the Thalmor and said "yes sure thing elf dudes I'll do your bidding for you, glory to the Aldmeri Dominion"?
Is this going to be Todd's last tes game? Or will he still be making games into his 60's like brian fargo and tim cain?
>>745219357i never said it was. im simply saying there is a massive mismatch with the morrowind era and the redguard/eso era where ESO and redguard somehow look like the early modern period. it makes no sense that they wouldnt have gunpowder considering their technology. idk why you cant just admit that redguard is a total fucking mess of a game with poor worldbuilding OTHER THAN the background lore shit made by kirkbride with the pocket guide to the empire. like i mean, for fucks sake, theyre running around with modern sabres, modern pants and shit.
>>745217273black panther, BLM and wakanda
>>745219705>do you think that Ulfric met with the Thalmor and said "yes sure thing elf dudes I'll do your bidding for you, glory to the Aldmeri Dominion"?The answer's in the dossier
>>745219659Both
>>745219680Yes, and?
>>745219680nobody wants to fuck with a billion different currencies and micro states everywhere
>>745219723>I never said it was>>745219275>this ancient world
>>745215395>burden>soundHaven't used>frenzy>demoralizeBoth fun to use for asshole mages>absorb fatigueAlways relevant even on physical fighters>sanctuaryAlways relevant for any class, dodge needs to come back>slowfallEasily one of the most useful movement techs and practically mandatory when doing large jump spells>lockIt has some small use cases but would really shine if Sentinel has larger interiors with more rooms. If they tinkered with what NPCs could unlock objects and made it so thief-centered ones in a group could unlock doors, that would add an extra level to combat encounters (kill thief first, then lock a door behind you and the other classes can't open it)>disease resistanceSo you'd rather have to buy cure disease every time you get rockjoint?>damage over timeNever used it myself but could be fun for assassination missions if they added silent casting. Poison Apple at hand.Morrowind easily has the best systems because you're a worthless shitter at level 1 then become a god by the end of the game. Oblivion was worse in some ways but still had SOME of Morrowind's appeal, Skyrim just fucking sucks all around. If you can't jump over buildings in Sentinel by midgame, it's trash just like Shitrim.
>>745219745I'm asking if you actually understand what the Dossier said.You get one more chance. Don't dodge my question again. If you respond with anything other than a yes or no answer to my question, or if you don't respond at all, you are contractually admitting that I'm right and you're a retard.
>>745215139again with the fucking base building horse shit.the most boring shit in fallout 4, besides the game itself. they cant make anything good or actually upgrade their creat(e loading screens)ion engine, so they fill the void with this shit instead.
>>745219770I just find it amusing that the fantastical wondrous fantasy world with real gods and magic and different species and climates is somehow infinitely less complex culturally and societally than the average 200km2 of tiny kingdoms in the balkans or Italy or some shit
>>745219770I do
>>745219720He said he's never retiring
>>745219864>Don't dodge my question again.I answered it directly>If you respond with anything other than a yes or no answer to my question, or if you don't respond at all, you are contractually admitting that I'm right and you're a retard.STORMKEKS ARE REDDITARDSHOLY SHITNO ONE ELSE TALKS LIKE THISIT EXPLAINS SO FUCKING MUCH
>>745219806>this ancient worldi said and medieval, but i guess since you are an autistic pedant i should explain that i mean that the world is ancient, as in, having history that spans far back. it establishes a medieval or high medieval CURRENT setting for games like morrowind, which was a kind of aesthetic reboot for the series at the time, yet you have retarded shit like redguard where you see modern ships and pants and other material. thats my point
>>745219924Todd howard jr will probably take over the company after he passes away in his 80's lol
>>745219904you want a different genre then TES is for clubbing goblins in caves, not managing tribal politics and economy.
>>745219493Well that is specifically based on High Rock architecture. And the architecture in Stros M'Kai isn't particularly outlandish. It's only the clothing and weapons but it's been like this since Arena.
>>745219931My terms were very simple. You were to reply with a yes or no answer to my question. You did not do that.Concession accepted. You lost. You are a dumb retard.
>>745219680There are many different languages spoken in Tamriel with Tamriellic being the common tongue which probably has many different pidgen and accented variations. For obvious gameplay reasons this isn't conveyed in game.The Empire also has a name.
>this is what TES fags waited for so longholy shit lmao
Reminder that the mede empire has a suicidal retard as an emperor who hires assassins to kill himself and that they also openly allow thalmor gestapo to patrol their territory, arrest kidnap and torture their citizens at will lol.
>>745220001right, because new ideas or concepts are wrongthink for the normie fanbase of TES. got it.
>>745219902the existence of ling lived races like elves and dwarves require a huge time scale. You don't want to have living characters who could plausibly remember some distant event if you want it to be mysterious.
>>745219960Look, youre the retard who used terms like ancient and medieval without understanding what they mean in this context. Don't get mad when you use words incorrectly and people dont know what you mean.
>>745220020>Continent called tamriel>Everyone speaks... TamrielicWhoa
>>745220062Go make your own game and you can do whatever autistic shit you want to it. You are capable of making your own games, right anon?
>>745220047To be fair he also snuck out of the Imperial City during a siege and raised and led an army to take it back.
>>745220047yeah but Ulfric is the real Thalmor puppet, the empire are actually fighting against them.
>>745220062Witcher has some of what you want. Ultimately the other coins just sit in your inventory until you exchange them, it's fucking pointless. You really want to have to run to the bank every time you cross into a new tiny country just so you can stay at the inn? It's busywork on the scale of survival crafting which also doesn't believe in TES.
>>745220106Its also called Cyrodiilic
>>745220084But they do that all the time. In fact two of those guys you mentioned are in one building, yagrum bagarn and divayth fyr.Or how about almalexia, vivec, and sotha sil? Or how about the ancient nords from the first era in sovngarde? Or any of the daedra, who are immortal - every daedra, not just the princes. Or everyone's waifu serana who's from the second era?
>>745220016Nah, I accept your concession. I already knew the headcanon direction you were going, and the fact that you're spouting more headcanon now even for reality has only proven that you're prone to going off what you make up inside of your own head instead of what's actually on the page in front of you.Thanks for playing, you redditard chump.
>>745220001ok I will make that game then, any /g/fag to tell me what book I should read to be able to make that?
>>745215139Another bethesda slop, no thanks. This company is incapable of making actual good video games. I bet anyone working on games like morrowind/oblivion or fallout 3/nv is already dead or retired. Modern devs are incapable of making anything substantial without proper guidance. When left unsupervised, they'll just print out shitty remakes that have nothing to do with the originals. The new TES is guaranteed to be yet another starfield, but perhaps, even worse
>>745215139I bet they're going to show it off next year at xbox's not e3 show to pump up pre orders for their next Gen console.
>>745220214>You really want to have to run to the bank every time you cross into a new tiny country just so you can stay at the inn?Sounds fucking kino I should be able to barter with locals or merchants too
>>745220247a handful of specifically semi-immortal characters is fine and good but you can't have entire races like that like elves without multiplying your timescale out.
>>745220356I don't care about the timescale. But now that you mention it , it's pretty funny that we can meet ghosts from thousands of years ago or characters like aforementioned serana and they just speak the modern language fluently
>>745220012yeah but i think arena and daggerfall are outliers from a time when TES hadnt figured out its identity so it just went with a generic bland fantasy setting instead until the redguard game started slowly shifting and then completely rebooting with morrowind. i still find the high rock shit completely unjustified that they walk around in modern clothing and technology as well. they look like people from the 1700s or even 1800s at times. they should just retcon them into an earlier period of the real life culture theyre based on and make them as well as making them more syncretic, which is a major issue with non-kirkbride TES design. i think this skyrim armor modder pulcharmsolis does a really good job designing hypothetical armor and clothes for these cultures that match our IDEA of the culture, rather than the presentation that is often shown in official TES media.
>>745215139Worst larp I've ever read, Hammerfell isn't even part of the Empire
>>745220094are you retarded or just baiting? the world is ancient, but its set in a period roughly corresponding to the medieval period, specifically high middle ages. whats so hard to understand about that, normie? all i said was, TES should not have any early modern period setpieces unless you also want gunpowder. i am asking for you as a consoomer of this gay franchise to be a little consistent, is all
>>745215139is it the same engine? if so, I'm not expecting much
If VI jas cute Jiits and fun magic, I might buy it. Saarfield has made me skeptical of their ability to deliver so I'll be watching closely.
>>745215329Accurate to the original plan of Kurt Kuhlmann. Against all odds you lose in TES VI, in TES VII you have your revenger save the world, and I bet he was planning to have the Altmer as the saviours of Tamriel.
>>745220451Reminder that these fanon projects that make things weird for the sake of being weird will never align with Todd's vision of TES which he has always explicit stated as the ultimate generic fantasy simulator You will get knights, castles , and little cozy cottages even if we're in hammerfell. Maybe a few sinbad or Egypt aesthetics in the desert areas
>>745220561yeah its gonna be creation 3. they only used creation 2 for saarfield lmao
>>745220595>revengergood morning!
>>745220629Well duh, those things exist in Hammerfell in ESO and in existed in medieval north Africa

TES VI means another 20+ hour retrospective from Patrician
>>745215139its gonna be made for modern audiences
I'm always amazed that you retards still care about ANY of these big name franchises that have all been thoroughly run into the ground. You bitch, moan and whine for YEARS but you'll still buy it.
>>745220629i dont give a fuck about todd. also if you think this is weird you are such a giga-normie its actually not even funny. do you recoil in fear like this in your day to day life seeing real life cultures as well? why do you yearn for boring fantasy?
>>745220259You're still here? I already raped you. Did you want another raping or something?
>>745220754just like skyrim and oblivion was, so nothing new really.
>>745215139>Michael Kirkbride himself just confirmedSource on that? It'd be far more relevant than your screencapped post.
>>745220747>listening to a literal woke faggot with aidsNo thanks.
I have a confession to make bros... I've never beat Skyrim, I'm sorry Todd... Should I bother starting now, or wait until the next one is announced? I assume they're gonna release a remastered version of Skyrim like they did with Oblivion at some point right?
>>745220872literally two seconds of googlinghttps://www.reddit.com/r/TESVI/comments/1vltv58/comment/p34j49v/?context=3
>>745220872He posted on reddit
>>745215139>massive naval battles
>>745220935I have 600 hours in Skyrim and I never even started Dragonborn despite having owned that DLC since launch.
>>745220675>ESL retard thinks proper english is a grammatical mistake because of dunning krugermany such cases
>>745220747>he just reads the plot out loud
>>745220935Skyrims main quest is the biggest piece of shit this series has ever produced, you're not missing anything
>>745215139Rather play as Thalmor and destroy the Empire
>>745220967>5 boats
>>745215139>Restore the Empire>Doesn’t feature CyrodiilWhy?
>>745220808It doesn't matter what I think. Bethesda is set on making the most generic settings possible.
>>745221034Should've let Kuhlmann stay.
>>745221000Dragonborn is easily the best part of Skyrim
>>745221010yet again, i come asking you to please learn english before posting. i know its tough going from spanish or serbian or vietnamese or whatever you are, but you really do need to learn before posting. ill teach you the word now: avenger. thank me later :)
>>745221095One of these days I'll get around to it....
>>745221079so why complain when people like that modder actually try and fix their retarded fucking setting? its not "weird for the sake of being weird" you are just a fucking underexposed pussy with no idea how bizarre humanity actually can look in real life. dont know why a fantasy setting has to be more boring than real life
>>745221156Kill yourself you walking piece of dogshit
>>745221026>>745221000that's good to know at least. If it's any consolation I've played the fuck out of Enderal back in the day
>>745220675you're brown
>>745221090Ugh... imagine TES6 setting up for TES7... one final ride to save Tamriel... 2064...
>>745221273Never played this but I played nehrim and it was a piece of total dogshit, and usually I enjoy eurojank
HOW IN THE FUCKING HELL DO YOU FUCKING RETARDED SCUM SUCKING FAGGOTS STILL GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THIS FUCKING TRAAAAASH!?! IT'S GOING TO BE SHIIIIIIT! IT'S ALWAYS BEEN FUCKING SHIT, AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! FUCKING DIE ALREADY! SKYRIM WAS AWFUL!!!!!!
>>745221263Okay? There are fucking my little pony and thomas the tank engine mods for Skyrim as well. What is your point? Bethesda is gonna make something simple, cheesy, and bland.
>>745215139>back in Junethat's last week
>>745221270I speak not after the manner of the sixteen hundreds. Marry, thou dost indeed, in very truth!
>>745221404Someone's a widde cwanky todaaayy.
>>745221409and all im saying is id prefer for them to not making something simple, cheesy and bland. but fuck me, i guess, right? i guess thats an offensive position to have on normiechan nowadays.

>>745221509>*ESL spazzes all over keyboard*
>>745215309Theyre more of an anti-hero. They help but not because its a moral duty, they typically get something out of it.
>>745221543>modders clip under the water and discover the boats are all just npcs wearing a huge boat hat
>>745220935the only bethesda game I ever played is starfield(it was kino)
>>745221607I've never played anything more boring than TR, everything is so spread the fuck out
>>745221649>Boat NPC drowns>They forgot to mark him essential>Softlocked in an instanced island map.
>>745221605I've long accepted by role as battered housewife to TES. Same for Dragon's Dogma.
>>745221705that's exactly how I felt about Daggerfall
>>745221503It doesn't matter what you think. Look at starfield. The most uninteresting, infantilized setting ever written. No edge, no intrigue, hell they didn't even go for any real humor. just neutral , homogenized filler through and through
>>745221671got almost 2 hours into Starfield and was so underwhelmed and bored that I got it refunded. Maybe I'll try it again someday when all the content gets released, I heard the Star Wars modding for the game is unreal
>>745221826Because no one at Bethesda like sci fi apart from Todd maybe. It's very visisble.
>>745221612You're the retard who thought a basic english word was an ESL mistake. Don't throw stones from your glass house.
>>745221607why would they? morrowind fans are not gonna care much about TES 6 beyond maybe a one time playthrough on a pirated copy (thats what im gonna do)
>>745221965your use of an archaic word makes it clear that you are indeed indian, yes. its how your kind speaks since you are all colonial subjects of the british, after all.
>>745215338Even if this were made by competent people, ship battles and castle building as the big features just seems kinda lame? I thought this was a series about exploration and open ended character building
>>745222173Fallout 4 made them realize that they don't have to develop any real cities or a lot of quests if they distract the player with 60 hours of Minecraft base building
>from the studio that made fallout 76 and starfieldfuck no
>>745217765>>745215338this, starfield's dogfight isn't the best but is surprisingly competent.you guys are too hung up on the fallout 3 npc head train meme. creation engine doesn't prevent you from doing stuff like this
>>745215218Fpbp but beyond that>retards lining up to buy a game that will inevitably have a complete edition, need several hundred mods to be playable because it really doesnt just work
>>745222343
I became an elder watching their loading scrolls
>>745215338I bet before FO4 people were saying "Bethesda could never make a building system"
> Niggers in nigger land restoring the EmpireLet's see how it works out for Todd.
>>745219130Yeah that was the entire point, to reverse the decadent, fading elves trope by having them overthrow the young empire which typically supersedes them in fantasy stories. But Todd is a slop factory, has been even before Morrowind, so obviously it was never going to fly. I was a little bit excited when people said he'd quit after Starfield but sadly they were wrong.
>>745222362It just sounds boring
>>745215139Everyone already knew the game would be set in a Hammerfell so someone going out of their way to make a fake leak where the game is named after one of the cities in Hammerfell doesn't make it credible since, you know, Elder Scrolls 2 is also named Daggerfall (a city in High Rock)
>>745222450The most kino part of the whole ordeal was that the thalmor's grand plan was to hijack a divine weapon in nirn's orbit (auriels bow?) and use it to fucking headshot talos out of aestheticsAfter talos was killed the laws of physics on nirn would star going slightly wacky and all the races of men would fall into an inescapable suicidal depression
>>745222135You were unfamiliar with a word and wanted to feel superior to your fellow brownoids so you did the "ESL call out" routine to try to signal kinship with the white native english speakers you worship. Now you're trying to save face by making up this "oh but it's archaic so that's why I didn't know it" routine. It's just sad, you should be proud of who you are rather than so desperately trying to act like you're white.

>>745219021It's strangely beautiful. Pretty-ugly. Just like Alone in the Dark.
>>745215395Most if those are so extremely obvious I can't even understand why you'd question them
>>745222732Talos brought hope by ascending and becoming a god, which others also hope to do. If you kill him that idea goes with him and fades. Talos is essentially the hope of all padomeic religions in TES.

>>745223009Guilty until proven innocent is one of their laws.
>>745222575That being said, there were only 2 options>SentinelMakes the most sense, not a foreign word, also can pass off as a standalone game name like "I'm gonna play Sentinel">DragonstarWould've been okay but using the word Dragon in the title makes it sound like they're reheating Skyrim's plot. I can see why they passed on this.The rest are>Hegathe>Skaven>Taneth>Gilane>Rihad>ElinhirEither too ethnic sounding or do not roll off the tongueThis is the same reason TES3 was called Morrowind instead of Vvardenfell or TES4 was called Oblivion instead of Cyrodiil.
>>745222960Talos isnt pandomaic...All your posts are just retarded schizobabble
>>745223038Lorkhan is dead and you could argue that Tiber was Shezzarine anyway.
>>745215139The only real leak was the drunk betsdha employee rambling and then trying to delete the thread afterwards
>>745215139This game is going to be so shit it's not even worth pirating.
>>745215309>ties to summary execute you in the first 5 minutes of SkyrimBethesda "had" to do this specifically because the Empire has been built-up as the good guys, no one would pick Sotrmcloaks otherwise
>>745223086>Talos isnt pandomaic...Literally just wrong.
>>745220675It was a typo you damn idiot, I meant to say revenge
>>745223184>drunk betsdha employee rambling and then trying to delete the thread afterwardsqrd?
>>745223219You damn bloody bitch I meant to redeem!
>>745223086>>745223194Talos mantled Lorkhan who is Padomaic, but Tiber himself was blessed by Akatosh who's Anuic so you can say he's a bit of both.
i want to see a new bird race in skyrim 2
>>745223194Oh I reverse Anu and Padomay in my head, I'm retarded
>>745215309They're only humanly good. It's hard to see them as bad when the locals aren't humans and would rather keep fighting amongst themselves in their alien shitholes

>>745223356It's okay fren.
>>745223352Sorry but the proto-Kahjiit killed all the bird beast races
>>745223295You got dunked on after trying to debate the word revenger with other anons. You are not saving face by trying the same thing but this time with me, after the admission of my typo. Stop pretending to be white, it's embarrasing.

>>745223729This. I fucking hate Redguards. They're so woke.Fuck TES1 for introducing them.
>>745221892maybe it's because my first bethesda gam but I really liked it(world design is shit though)
>>745223830the formula works really well your first time (Fallout 3 was my first bethesda game and I loved it) but once you've played one of them you've played them all, and the novelty wares off quickly, for me at least
>>745223776>Creation Engine 2Larping faggotAlso Hammerfell/Illiac Bay has always been the most likely choice since before the game was even announced, any "leak" that corroborates that is just picking the safest option
>>745223789Don't be cute.
>>745215139>naval battles>still no working ladders
>>745215395>lockYes. I had a trick where I'd crash upstairs in Shenk's Shovel in Caldera, because DB assassins would enter from the ground floor and casually stroll up the stairs to get to my room. Despite being assassins, they can't open locks. So you lock that shit and buff up as you please, then blitz him and take all the money he's wearing across the street to creeper. The AI's inability to interact with locked doors is why you use the spell.
So what are your bets on system requirements? I imagine the fact that it will need modern and high system requirements plus their inability to make things function in general are going to lower the amount of purchases.
>>745224067they got them working in saarfieldthe ladders i mean
>>745224080The DB assassins are easily killable in straight combat with a level 1 character.
>>745223564I’m not even the same anon but keep coping
>>745215139>Redguards saving the empireBlack savior garbage is cringe, but it also undermines Cyrus's bullying of themThen again, TESO might have infected TES proper
>>745224249>but keep copingIt seems that the word “irony” is also foreign to you.
>>745224461I mean presumably the player will be saving the empire and he doesn't have to be a redguard
>>745224461redguards will get the same diluting nords got in tesv
>Starfieldplease don't be the same team please don't be the same team
>>745215242I want the game the be good enough to make me willing to do that. But I'll still just buy it once like I did with Skyrim.
>AI slopping a 4chan screencap
>>745224660Bruce Nesmith isn't at Bethesda anymore so hopefully not
>>745224527My guess is that it's less clear cut. The Thalmor will be unambiguous villains, but as for the Empire's fate it will be left up in the air depending on player choice.
>>745224715The Xbox pajeet CEO already described the game as "amaAAAAzing". It's over because that's pretty much what Phil Spencer said about Starfield. The curse has been placed.
>>745224461Skyrim didn't make the Nords perfect beings I doubt the new one will make Redguards perfect. Kind of hard to make Elder Scrolls woke when things like the God of Rape exists and is extremely relevant at one point even as recent as the MMO
>>745224527I doubt the player would be the only person involved in such a process, and the speculated title in this thread is the capital of Hammerfell.Having Cyrus fuck over the empire for more autonomy, to Hammerfell being tossed to the wolves during the war, to them now helping them out from extinction is some "right side of history" shit that I can absolutely see from Bethesda.
>>745215309They were neutral in Morrowind, good in Oblivion, but pretty evil in Skyrim (compared to the Stormcloaks). They are a fairly reasonable portrayal of a massive empire which endures periodic prosperity and decline.
>>745224498The only thing that seems foreign to me is you
>>745224884they weren't evil in Skyrim, they were caught between a rock and a hard place.
>>745224808>Phil SpencerI wish more people would talk about the important lesson we should remember form his tenure.Giving game companies large amounts of time, freedom, and no expectations actually just leads to fucking garbage. Apparently you do need some kind of direction beyond make sure it doesn't have attractive women.
>>745224963It's true. Game devs need strict budgets, harsh oversight, fear of punishment, frequent firings and low company morale to work well and produce swell games.I mean this seriously.
>>745224461to be fair cyrus was (initially) part of the crowns who valued independence unlike the sellout forebearsthe newer writers seem to like the latter more than the former
>>745224884They were not evil in Skyrim the issue in Skyrim is they are on the backfoot and has to at least pretend to obey treaties and work with the Thalmor.The player is the one who gets to decide if the Nords are freedom fighters or retarded niggers who think that openly bragging about worshipping Talos so the Thalmor notices and think that they would be fine independent when the entire Empire failed is a good idea
>>745225032>frequent firings and low company morale to workI think that part is actually bad as churning though employees just leads to frequent wasting of time of retraining people and losing knowledge. This is an issue so many industries be it tech or manufacturing
>>745224884>evil in SkyrimSkyrim had been a province for almost a thousand years, and founder of the modern empire was maybe a Nord (named Hjalti Early beard but was born in High Rock). The stormcloaks were secessionists using an independence that hasn't existed since the end of the 2nd era as their "legitimacy"
>>745225226It's a difficult line to thread because if people stay too long work becomes like a second home, your employees like "family" and thus complacency grows. On the other end, with too much fresh blood there's a constant resource drain and talent varies drastically.
>>745224924Now that's really pathetic of you—go ahead and have the last word if you need it so badly, Mr. Insecure.

>>745225321Cope.

>>745225376>allowing the studios to be overtaken by woke activists on his watchThankfully some of those are fired now at least.
>>745225387I love Redguard lore, hopefully they don't fuck it up>According to Yokudan myth, Satakal, the serpentine God of Everything, eats itself over and over, periodically consuming all of creation. By "moving at strange angles" to stride between "worldskins", a process known as the Walkabout, the strongest of the spirits learned to bypass this cycle of destruction. Thanks to Ruptga's guidance, many weaker spirits were able to find their way as well, and the practice became so easy that it became a place—the Far Shores. Here, the spirits can safely wait until Satakal has passed and a new skin has emerged.[2] There is no hunger or thirst in the Far Shores, but there are ample martial challenges to keep Redguard warrior-spirits engaged for eternity.[3][4]
>>745225470ESO lore or OG?
This board should love Redguards since they are literally weebs and there's so many of you faggot weebs here

>>745223934I bought skyrim on sale so I'll see when I feel like playing it
>>745225751No that's Thermos
>>745215139Sounds fun. We'll see. Of course once it's out, then you need to wait another 2 years at least for mods, patches and DLC. Going to be elderly before I play this
>>745225296Then move around teams and employees if you are afraid they aren't capable of being objective enough after a certain point of time, but if all the employees are doing their job and accomplishing their goals then it doesn't matter in the end
>>745225915>2 years for mods, patches and DLCOptimistic. It'll be 2 years before the unofficial patch makes the main quest not softlock, 4 years before the sex mods, and 6 years before some autist adds back the cut systems that should've been there at launch.

>>745224057is there a mod to redesign these generic npcs yet?
>>745215309>the empire is the good guys?The empire isn't strictly "good" per se. We see it warts and all so it often comes off as mismanaged or greedy or simply broken. It's just that there's always an obviously evil faction in opposition to it that invariably makes it seem better than it really is. Oblivion is the best example of this since the alternative to the empire is pure death and destruction. But now imagine the civil war plotline if there wasn't the looming threat of the Thalmor in the background. But TES is better than most series which just has the empire be the cartoonishly evil faction.
>>745226720Nigga what you just typed was really fucking gay
>>745215139>restore the EmpireWhat if I don't wanna?
>>745226116>>745226290>>745226603Kinda crazy IcewindDale had so good OST.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ_RDaIQ61YBethesda truly corrupts what it touches.
>>745226116based and true.also he's jewish
>>745226873They will never let you join the Thalmor so too bad.
>>745226603>>745226889I think he's capable if he's not overly subduedIIRC he did the tune in this one and it would match a setting in the midst of extreme conflicthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BbDm1D8TJk
>>745226973I don't understand why. Their goal isn't bad.
>>745227247Inon Zur did not compose for DA: Inquisition. That was Trevor Morris.Inon Zur composed only DA:O and DA:II.He did good with Kingmaker though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8En1WOlm0c
>>745227263The Thalmor wanting to destroy Mundus is fan fiction literally from Reddit
>>745227374So their goal is literally just Tamriel dominance?
>>745227414Probably
>>745227596I'm going to kill myself.
>>745227414Their rule would probably be pretty peaceful by forcing everyone to give up this "Arena" and "ascendance through conflict" idea.
People will go back to playing Skyrim after one playthrough of Sentinel
>>745227629well dont do that
>>745227898I haven't played Skyrim since 2019.
If oblivion was made today you’d rebuild Kvatch. Bethesda loves their settlement building now.
>>745227898A lot of modders are planning to jump ship as soon as it comes out, who knows how that will turn out.
>>745228217>Bethesda loves their settlement building now.And I hate them for it.
>>745228228If its like Starfield, modders wont give a shit
>>745227346I agree desuhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a3814HBJDEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZh6RBO12rg
>>745228302That's not true a lot of popular modders jumped on that but got burned out after they realizing how shit the game is.
>>745228302I think Bethesda knows TES is their flagship that their non elder scrolls games after are built upon and they can't really fuck around too much with it.
>>745222375Buying the game>$70 or $80Seeing NV faggots cope and seethe for the next decade >priceless Buying Niggerland just to see the absolute meltdown on /v/ is worth it by itself
>>745215309The Empire is an empire, it's imperialist. Whether or not it's better than any alternative systems of governance is up to interpretation.
>>745228412They're not explicitly evil which probably strays from the norm.
>>745215139That's epic if true honestly I'm just relieved it's not set 'only' in Hammerfell
>>745215309Nope.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqhc3mK06r0
>>745227898In the first months, mod addicts will do that yeah. But when the modding kit and script extender come out, people will switch, guaranteed. Some skyrim mods are incredible but there are some things just impossible to do with its version of the engine.
>>745227898I heard this exact same thing except with Oblivion leading up to Skyrims release
>>745228217>trash collecting for crafting>base building>companion shitI want that shit gone from their games.
>>745218572If the next TES game has either>settlement building >voiced protagonistI'm just not buying it. Simple as.
>>745215309It's because it's a setting made by Americans. The idea that the hegemonic superpower could also be good guys because they bring equality and prosperity by erasing native cultures is a very American concept. Of course it ties back to pop history surrounding the Romans, but it's really a reflection of America. I mean the ashlanders are literally just native americans on reservations. Or the whole plantation slaves thing.With that in mind, the most insightful thing TES has to say is that the empire is past its peak, and maybe it has to be saved, maybe it has to be remade, or maybe it has to die so it can be reborn. But it can't keep going on the same as it was.
>>745228736>voiced protagonistUnlikely.>settlement buildingThat's guaranteed and non-negotiable, sorry anon.
>>745215139I want skyrims 2 handed combat back...pleaseeee
>>745215139>and the return of Morrowind's spells and magic systemIf true, I hope that means we get the levitation spell again. Love that shit in Morrowind.
>>745215338>>745216707Ships will be NPCs with ship hats
>>745228736It's gonna be Saarfield but Skyrim. No voiced protag and settlement is now purely optional shit.
>>745228736Starfield dumped the voiced protag so hopefully TES VI wont do it either
>>745222420They did it in skyrim hearthfire. just very scripted and basic.
>>745228896Wow you're the first one to make that joke no one thought of the same joke before you you're so funny anon
>>745224884They could be considered "good" in Morrowind because they developed industries across the region and overlooked anti-slave rebels because they secretly supported and often pressured the Dunmer to outlaw slavery (which would eventually come to fruition).
If they redo something like Hearthfire, they should actually do biological children instead of exclusively finding randos to adoptThen again, I think the alphabets would have a fit so that's probably not likely
>>745229005Skyrim Hearthfire was the best beause it was essentially just a more upgraded version of Fallout 3's themed housing. It was simple and nice.Fallout 4 RUINED IT.
>>745228603Sigmarian Empire were literally more evil than Cathay and Brettonia KEK
>>745215139>SentinelPretty shit name for an ES game. "I'm gonna play some Sentinel" sounds like you're about to boot up the latest F2P hero shooter. It'll never be as iconic as Morrowind, Oblivion, or Skyrim.
>>745218975>uses like 4 spell schools.Even worse than that, all the spells were tiered. So say destruction, you have all these spell effects but each different version of the spell just does a different effect and more damage that you gimp yourself not using them.
>>745229035Industries like what? Taking a monopoly on the islands glass and ebony mines and dwemer ruins? Turning a blind eye to all the slave labor on Hlaalu farms?
>>745229140It's simply because you haven't gotten used to it and the name isn't ubiquitous yet. Give it a month after launch and you'll see.
>>745215139I'll wait for the sex mods.
>>745215139>kinoafter starfield i dno about that
>>745229140>SkyrimPretty shit name for an ES game. "I'm gonna play some Skyrim" sounds like youre about to give Sky a rimjob
>>745229087Todd learned from Skyrim and there will never ever again be children in Bethesda games he saw the CP mods
>>745229109t. argayon
>>745215139>you'll restore the empireNo thanks, that shit is a sinking ship that deserves to get fucked into hell.
>>745215309they are neutral and mostly exist to preserve order and control.
>>745215139i will believe it when i see it in 6~ years
>>745215139I can't wait for Debra Wilson screaming and sword singing in the trailers for it
>>745229270Sky's rim belongs to the Nords
>>745228256I hate it primarily because it means they put less effort into existing settlements. Look at fallout 4 compared to fallout 3. Fallout 4 has like 3 towns in the entire game. Fallout 4 has over a dozen, many with their own gimmick. The settlement system needs to be 15x more complex if they want it to be as compelling as making an actual location with lore and narrative significance.
>>745228736Every Bethesda game is going to have some kind of home/settlement building. Ever since it was introduced in Skyrim it's been reintroduced in literally all their games.>>745228940>No voiced protagOnly Fo4 had one and everyone hated it. Are you stating that like it's a bad thing?>and settlement is now purely optional shit.It's always been optional, it's only really shoved in your face in Fo4 (which was a bad thing because it fucking sucks, never works like you want it, and looks atrocious).>It's gonna be Saarfield but Skyrim.It's not going to be that by nature of what makes an Elder Scrolls game an Elder Scrolls game. Saarfield was hated because it was procgen slop with a fragmented world of squares separated by loading screens. And its lore sucked ass and didn't make sense.TESVI will on the other hand have a continuous map without procgen slop everywhere.Whether they'll successfully address loading screens on their shit engine or not is left to be seen however.Whether it'll also have shitty sanitized HR-tier writing is also left to be seen.
>>745229514>>745228940*Nevermind the comment about the voiced protag, clearly reading comprehension issues on my part
>>745215139>and the return of morrowinds spells and magic systemBullshit
>>745229140>Oblivionwho the fuck gives their flagship game a 4-syllable word that barely anyone can spell?
>>745229514>Whether it'll also have shitty sanitized HR-tier writing is also left to be seenimagine the kino they'll produce with emil
>>745229092>4 RUINED IT.Not really it allowed for creativity for builder fags.The main issue is the generic NPCs and the pointlessness of it all. Also because of that shit 6 CHR is a mandatory must have just to get the systems up and running correctly.
>>745229724He got hired as a senior quest designer. Not a writer. Here is his CV.
>>745229715it's a 3 syllable word
>>745229828O-bli-vi-on
>>745215139Thats definitely interesting..
>>745229812Bethesda's quest designers also do the writing for their quests. That's why most of the writing in these games are dog shit.
>>745215567Whoever decided to get rid of the levitate spell after morrowind should be banned from making video games
>>745229724I wonder if they'll add any more transgender elves.
>>745229812Bethesdas quest designers are also the quest writers
>>745215139if they bring back morrowind style spells that means they don't care about using shit like levitate to get to crazy areas in the worldplease tell me we can use shrinking spells and actually go underneath shit for stealth and so i can jack off to the giant women
>>745229847It's pronounced o-bli-vion. The "i" is way too short to be its own vowel for its own syllable and is essentially one phone with the "o".
>>745229812Which of those works is supposed to inspire confidence in the hire?I guess ME2 had a cool final mission and end sequence
>>745229257I can see the shill campaign now>actually Starfield was great you don't like it because you didn't play it >modders made it 10x better, the star wars mod was peak kinoleading up to>without even playing it first I can tell you ES6 is better than GTA6 and has more content
>>745218458the nords and frost-type animals resist some of the damage from frost spells, but not the effects like slowdowns, stamina drain and eventually freezing/paralyzing once you're a high enough level. the spells are still useful in general and honestly the damage resistance isn't all that noticeable once you're a high level anyway
>>745230094>the star wars mod was peak kinoIs it actually good?>>745229375Based, Thalmor rule.
>>745230016Nice try
>>745229576High chances actually because the Creation Club has official Spell and Magic system ftom Oblivion for Skyrim Special Edition.
>>745230016Sorry Cleetus but you're wrong
>>745215395>absorb fatigueThis is a good spell. It's always a win if you're 1-on-1 against an enemy. >sanctuaryYes, can be helpful when fighting that cunt with the ebony armor in Mournhold>slowfallYes, to prevent fall damage>lockYes, it's amazing if you are fighting where there are a bunch of doors since NPCs can't lockpick. The redoran vault is one such place.
>>745215309Not the only one, and not quite the good guys either (straight up antagonists in redguard)It's a rare case of fictional setting that acknowledges that the government being full of greedy cunts doesn't really take that much away from the fact that it brings peace and order.
>>745226116one of the only saving grace of their shitty, buggy games, is having jeremy soule soundtrack. this game is doa with inun zur and their garbage engine.
>>745225387Skyrim had weird lore too, they threw it all out 6 months before release, right before VA recording, rewriting much of the dialogue because they decided the average player would get confused by the unfamiliar terms This is not a theory it's from the mouth of kirkbride who wrote all the shit for the game They will do the same with the redguard's pantheon
>>745230165ironically enough yes, but the issue is it's still Starfield not Star Wars so you're still doing the base game only now your guns make blaster rifle noises
>>745215139You get a shittier version of skyrim, take it or leave it
>>745229724At least Emil is not the Lead Designer this time, that gives us at least a small hope.As for the Veilguard writer joining the team, that guy was the one that wrote some of the only good quests for that shit game and left half-way through probably bc he saw the sinking ship. There are other writer hires too, which is probably a good thing because Bethesda has never had dedicated writing staff until now.
>>745218289Nehrim is solid but it's a total conversion The elsweyr mod is incomplete but respectable
>>745229724Yeah, it's fucking over
>>745229109In no way can the empire be more evil than china and france
>>745230016maybe book a different ESL teacher Ranjesh
>>745230452But Kirkbride didn't work on Skyrim, right? It's just the lore he wrote for Skyrim during Morrowind's pre-production, right?
>>745230694He did work on skyrim, just not as a full time Bethesda employee
>>745215395>burden, soundNo because they're powercrept by other effects at every level>frenzyAbsolutely yes, fuck taunting people a billion times>demoralizeNo because I want to kill everything, but conceptually there's nothing wrong with it>absorb fatiguePowercrept, but early game as a power for an imperial is pretty fucking useful.>sanctuaryExcellent for enchanting and early game as a dunmer power>slowfallSlowfall 1-1 means no fall damage without slowdown, invaluable in a game where magic jumping is the main movement option>lockGimmicky, but you can use it to cc mobs in dungeons with doors like ancestral tombs.>disease resistanceUseless>damage over timeIIrc it's cheaper in vanilla. Also a decent protection against reflect oneshotting you.
>>745230694Bruce Nesmith threw away most of the lore Kirkbride had already written for Skyrim when he was employed by Bethesda full time. Kirkbride was contracted to work on skyrim, though
>>745230694He wrote some lore books in Oblivion. Not sure what he did on Skyrim but I'm pretty Heimskr's dialogue is based off one of his posts too.
>>745225387>Redguard lore is respectedYokudan lore is significantly less schizo than TES average, yet I still don't expect Bethesda to do it justice. Watch as it's going to be just fus ro sword.
>>745230694He literally wrote the trailer
>kirkbridebringing back old writers means jackshit these days because their contribution will not only be diluted by the other fingers in the pie, it'll have to pass some internal approval council or similar that did not exist back beforehomeworld 3 is a perfect example of this
>>745230694They contracted him to write a lot of foundational world building for Skyrim, a few books, and all the aforementioned 'nord religion' stuff that was tossed.
>>745215139It would have been kino if we lost to the elves in Sentinel, and we had to turn it all around in TES7. But fuck waiting another 20 years for TES7 lmao.
>>745215139It's going to be buggy out the gate and yall finna eat that shit up just like their Star Wars game or whatever the fuck they made
>>745219130You can interpret either outcome of the civil war was a win for the Thalmor. But I would only be fine with them having the player lose in Skyrim only to prevail in the next one if we didn't have to wait 15+ years to see it. If they had shit all over us at the end of Skyrim, by this point I'd probably just feel indifferent and spiteful about it.
>>745230865>Yokudan lore is significantly less schizo than TES averageI recall Cyrus learning a language of sword-dancing in yokuda by using a magic rock as a pillow.That is, youkdans had a language spoken be performing ceremonial sword maneuvers. He then used this in a dick measuring contest with vivec, and won.
>>745230918>homeworld 3Don't fucking remind me.
>>745230918He's not coming back, he said he wants nothing to do with it now that kuhlmann is gone
>>745215218>no thanks, i'll patiently wait until they actually announce something before i discuss this.You know, it's fun to speculate and theorize shit based off of rumors, right? Secondly we're on a message board forum, dumb fuck.
>>745230826He also wrote Mankar Cameron's commentaries and Oblivion, and while he didnt intend for it to be added to the game, an email he sent to Todd where Mankar Cameron incorrectly ascribes daedric princes to realms of oblivion was included while the player is walking around in Paradise
What is Kirkbride up to these days? I haven't kept up but I remember him working on some game for another company that turned out to be abject trash (not really because of his writing).
It might be now that the garbage devs were fired.
>>745215395cant, you have a skyrim mentality of unga bunga. there is very little in skyrim that requires subtly/branching path/alternate way to do things.its a biased opinionnow go, mash m1
>>745231009Yes, that's what I said. There are many iterations of tonal magic in TES, and the yokudan version is "I cast sword". Very boring.Even with "I cast sword", you can certainly pull off some schizo shit using (sword) dancing together with all the walking bullshit in TES cosmology, but you just know it's going to be nothing but fus ro sword.
>>745231054Ontop of all that a lot of his , supposedly non canon, writings and forum posts have just been referenced and added to the games over the years.
>>745231056Dunno but he has a reddit account MKirkbride and 99% of it is filled with Warhammer posts
>>745217273george floyd
>>745231178Bethesda does love swords. They'll remove maces and axes and only allow you to use swords, the way Todd intended.
>>745215139>the return of morrowind's spells and magic systemhighly unlikely they're adding back spell chance or shit like levitate, Bethesda has no idea how to make seamless environments anymore.
Actually the one guy who made a true Starfield leak on /v/ back in... 2021? 2022? Said that he'd try everything to add the morrowind magic system to TES 6, so who knows...
>>745231283Fo4 and 76 and starfield have jetpacks thougbeit
>>745231178>but you just know it's going to be nothing but fus ro sword.Can't we just have nothing instead? I don't want super special grenade button powers. I don't want to scream swords. I just want a decent RPG system to build and play different types of characters without all of them having le gimmick tacked on.
>>745216976It’s been 15 years and people are still parroting the Ulfric is a Thalmor puppet lie.
>>745231130>the garbage devs were firedanything to indicate this happened though?deadweight that's friends with management tend to stick longer than hard workers that keep to themselves, and we know bethesda certainly doesn't value doing anything based on their recent history
>>745231395FO4 has like, one exterior interior cell (Diamond City) and 76 has none iirc. Would be surprised if a TES game still has levitation considering how they've been doing walled cities since oblivion
>>745231705Starfield had open cities.
>>745231705As I said before Fo4, fo76 and starfield all have jetpacks
>>745221000I have 1100 hours in Morrowind.I have never beaten Bloodmoon.
>>745231780and they become dangerous to visit later in the game
>>745231819yes and as I said those games generally do not have the problems that the caused the removal of levitation in the first place, that being a large quantity of exterior interior cells
>>745231853Thats fair because Bloodmoon is really fucking boring. And guess who got hired to write quests for Bloodmoon?
>>745231987Not him but curious - who?
>>745232089Emil
>>745231930Sounds like they've done away with that issue for over a decade
>>745215139I'm from the future. It was shit and had creation club on launch. Buy the tech dip after the mass outages.
>>745231987>Bloodmoon is really fucking boringYeah, it is. The Skal are cool in some respects and I like the lore but the actual quests are dogshit. I'd rather RP being a petty thief or an archeologist. I wish I could RP as a soldier but I don't really like the legion quests outside of TR.>>745232153Oh, I see.
>>745232259>I wish I could RP as a soldier but I don't really like the legion quests outside of TR.Those were written by Todd Howard lmao.
>>745219130It is a shame there aren't any good writers today. What happened?
>>745232336No shit haha. Who wrote the temple quests? Those were good. I liked the daedra quests too.
>>745229812>Burial at Sea Episode 2Fuck Veilguard this is a million times more damning as it doesn't have the excuse of being bad because of woke it is just pure fucking dog shit
>>745232469Mark Nelson wrote a lot of the Daedra quests. As for the temple, it was either Ken Rolston, Mark Nelson, or Douglas Goodall
>>745221000Dragonborn is better than the vanilla base game
>>745232627>ARE THOSE TENTACLES? AIE I'M GOING INSAAAAAANE
>>745215395fuck you, I want to use a spear and jump spells again
>>745232175by basically removing cities from their games yeah. FO4 has one, and settlements you have to build. FO76 is all player bases, and Starfield has no big overworld but a series of separate maps so it can have the cities exist within the cell as a seamless thing.
less dnd and more runequest please
>>745233176Not happening if Kuhlman and Kirkbride are gone.The metaphysics are Runequest still anyway
>>745232153So he truly does poison everything he touches wow
>>745233176this:>>745233267TES was pretty vanilla and had very little character and mystic allure before the two, and with them gone, there's no one left to slow down the descent
>>745219006I foresee that (as with Skyrim) it'll add a load of stuff which is far more substantial than anything which gets removed but people will focus purely on the removed stuff because the new, more substantial stuff doesn't have arbitrary UI elements drawing your attention to its existence
>>745233521Meant to quote this OP rather than that one but regardless
>>745233521Yep that's /v/ with every new game in any series
>>745233521what did skyrim add that was substantial as compared to the MANY spell effects they removed
>>745217273modern america
