» Wed Dec 04, 2013 7:21 am So every Elder Scrolls game since Morrowind has had its second expansion feature a Daedric Prince, Hircine for Morrowind's 'Bloodmoon', Sheogorath for Oblivion's 'The Shivering Isles', and Hermaeus Mora for Skyrim's 'Dragonborn'. What do you think the setting will be for Elder Scrolls VI, and what Daedric Prince do you want featured (assuming the trend continues) and how (visiting their realm, seeing something they do like in Bloodmoon, e.t.c.)? Additionally, please note anything you'd like to see in the new Elder Scrolls games, or any remake of a game you'd like to see and modifications to it you'd like to see.
I really want to see a continuation of Skyrim's Aldmeri Dominion story. I think either Black Marsh as a predecessor to that game to illustrate how truly far gone the Empire really is (and to return to the alien environment Morrowind brought to light), but ultimately I really want to see a game combining Valenwood, Elsweyr, and the Summerset Isles, which I think would be possible with the engines of the PS4 and the Xbox One. It could feature the Aldmeri Dominion as a whole and display the way it has affected various provinces (like by accepting Elsweyr as a client state). The environmental variety could also be interesting, from the deserts of Elsweyr through the forests of Valenwood past the Abecean Sea, and onto the tropical, sprawling magical metropolis paralleling Nazi Germany (if the land is anything like the Thalmor in Skyrim) that is the Summerset Isles
As for the Daedric Prince expansion, I just want to provide a note: I would love to see the return of Jyggalag, but seeing as he was heavily featured in The Shivering Isles, and Mehrunes Dagon was featured in Oblivion's main story, I doubt either of those two will return any time soon. Additionally I think (but I'm not certain) that Clavicus Vile was in the spin off 'Redguard', so I don't think he'll show up either.
I think, after ruling all these princes out, my favorite would be Mephala or Vaermina. Mephala's story could be interesting, seeing how her subtle manipulation and her spinning her lies plays into the plot. Vaermina might be interesting just for the terrifying yet visually stunning environment. Just imagine it: you run at a skeleton and swing your sword, but it instantly transforms into a bear, then a vampire lord, then a werewolf, culminating in something truly horrifying, as the setting morphs with it. I know it's kind of a stretch, but I think it could really be interesting, visually stunning, and thematically different.
As far as remakes, I've played Daggerfall and Morrowind (albeit, briefly) and I think they should remake these games simply due to their age and popularity. Arena was less popular and less complex, so I don't think it merits a remake, but seeing Daggerfall remade, or being able to use spears and medium armor (I missed those so much in Oblivion and Skyrim!)in a current-gen Elder Scrolls game would be so satisfying for me. However, especially for a Daggerfall, some of the useless skills would need to be condensed/removed (for example: all of the language skills in Daggerfall being condensed into a 'Diplomacy' skill).
So what do you think? I'd really be interested in hearing what the rest of the fanbase has to think.
