How many Elder Scrolls Games do you think there will be? : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

I thought the Greedy man was Lorkhan? Or am I talking out my [censored]?

I think you're right you know.

Well I think Elder Scrolls will stop once all of the provinces have been dealt with, I mean there are still some parts left on the map, such as the Black Marshes and The Khajit home as well..(forget the name), I still think two more games would be appropriate to let series end on a high note...of course I wouldnt mind a remake of the very first Elder Scrolls but...you know.

He is referring to http://www.imperial-library.info/content/tower Here is another link about http://www.imperial-library.info/content/facts-and-opinions-nu-hatta-intercept

Dagoth Ur was a Tower, White-Gold tower is a Tower (in both a literal and metaphorical sense) and so on.

I'd say they will keep on making Elder Scrolls so long as people buy them and they want to make them. Though, all good things must come to an end. And I'd rather see Elder Scrolls end loved on a highnote like Cowboy Bebop or Ghost in the Shell, than end because it was driven into the ground. Not that I think Bethesda would do that, I'm just saying, if they feel they are creatively drained when it comes to Elder Scrolls I will accept them stopping or at least shelving the series for a while.

This tower stuff is very confusing :confused:
Red mountain was the first and contained the heart of Lorkhan, created by the divines to allow the world to exist without their presence?
The rest were created by mortals in an attempt to copy the first?
And what the hell does it mean by white-gold tower being the threat to the empire? lol please help my lore understanding isn't terrible but it's definitely not amazing and i'd love to understand!

I guess it's intentionally confusing. This way they have more freedom in future games. Also you should notice that almost all sources are from within the games (in contrast to http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WordOfGod) and may be faulty as the "authors" are restricted in their knowledge/subjective because they are part of that world.

Aka's tower was the first. The heart of Lorkhan was the first stone.

The rest were created by mortals in an attempt to copy the first?

The branches of Aldmer attempted to recreate what they saw.
The Dwemer created Numidium.
The Heartland High-Elves built White Gold Tower.
Crystal-like-law was made by the Altmer [I think].
Snow-Throat [Falmer?]
Green-sap, Bosmer
Orichalc, No idea, perhaps the Maormer Chimer or Dunmer?

And what the hell does it mean by white-gold tower being the threat to the empire? lol please help my lore understanding isn't terrible but it's definitely not amazing and i'd love to understand!

With White-Gold tower the Ayleids created a wheel within a wheel which destabilized mundus giving the tower more power over creatia over than the other towers making it a threat to the Empire.

Whew... long tiring post.

I would love a TES in Black Marsh. Maybe some Hist tree counts as a tower as well?

Limitless. Remember, there's nothing stopping them from revisiting the setting of a previous game. Not necessarily in the form of a remake either, it could be an entirely new conflict in the same region. In that regard, I'm looking forward to (hopefully, someday) playing a new Morrowind with game tech that will make Skyrim look as dated as Morrowind or even Daggerfall.

You missed out Valenwood. There's also a little chunk of High Rock unexplored, and huge chuns of Morrowind and Hammerfell.

Of course, you could say that "they" have already done those provinces in Arena.

My guess is as many as the lore can provide. And seeing as easy it is to add stuff to TES Lore, who knows how many there is to come.

at least the number of provinces. at least I hope, and i think they will do Morrowind again since they only did vvardenfell.
