It's unlikely, but does anyone think TES VI could be set outside of Tamriel?

Still waiting for my usable rope and grappling hook since Morrowind's development era. Instead, they took out the Daggerfall-style wall scaling completely.

I've never really gotten into a thief character since.

I think the only way that would be a realistic possibility (for "a", anyway) would be for an RTS like "The Elder Scrolls: Total War", or "Tamriel: Total War" No, that's not a real game... yet. or they could do something like LOTR did with the "Battle For Middle Earth."

I think if Bethesda somehow got the Total War people involved, they could make a killer RTS set in The Elder Scrolls World.

To be honest, I'd rather see a game with an overall "happier" feel. Not that I don't want ANYTHING serious in the game. I'd just like to see at least a few npcs that seem cheerful, a bigger, more "fantastical" feel, giant castles that are chock-ful of secret passageways, grand halls, and basically are huge and interesting enough that I'd want to explore them. I'd want a gigantic world where I could wander for hours wherever I pleased (No more exploration-restricting mountains. DX). I want a world where the people actually seem real. I want to walk into a tavern and see people dancing, singing, enjoying themselves. Not just sitting around moping. I want someplace big enough that I could actually get lost in it. In Skyrim I always knew where I was. Even If I didn't have the gps-map or the magical compass, I was never more than a few feet from a town, a cave, or a random dungeon, so it wouldn't matter anyway. I'm not saying Beth should decrease the number of Landmarks, I'm just saying they should spread them over a bigger area.

I want more humor. I'm not saying that they should go full Saint's Row level silliness in the next TES game, but I felt like they took themselves a bit too seriously when creating Skyrim. Somthing that was definitly different from the earlier games, and in my opinion, it wasn't a change for the better.

I want my character to feel more alive. To be honest, I felt like my Skyrim character was just an empty shell. I want to believe that my character's an actual living being. I want a reason to try to keep myself from dying and just reloading the last quicksave. They could have my character shiver in the cold, limp when injured, maybe grab at his throat when he's drowning, scream when he's lit on fire, smile, frown, etc.

I want bigger cities where it would actually be viable to do things like dart into dark alleyways to escape from guards. Climb onto tall buildings. And commit crimes without EVERYONE knowing it was you. The "cities" in Skyrim seemed more like villages. Small villages.

I want more of everything. There should not just be torches, but also lanters, candles, etc. There should be more swords than just one handed, and two handed. I want longswords, shortswords, claymores, katanas, rapiars, random long blunt objects (Broomsticks, sticksticks, those things you poke fireplaces with, canes, etc.). Basically like Morrowind. But more of it.

Adding all this may seem like a pointless waste of effort, time, and money to most people. But in my opinion TES has always been about quantity>quality. Skyrim had plenty of quality, it was just missing alot of the quantity.

TL;DR: More immersion, plz.

Also, remember that FO fans might also want a new FO, so it would be wrong if TES fans get two games in a row and FO fans only one.

And the remake of Redguard or TES Adventures is an opportunity for Bethesda to get even more money, but this time in a right way.

I frankly don't care so much about Fallout, I'm not a fan. This is the TES series forum. And that's the reason I said they should hire separate teams for the two franchises: both would benefit from more development time, more focus and know how. Who would protest having a new TES and a new Fallout every 3 years, and why? Some of the fans are older than others and are not very comfortable with 5-6 years cycles.

I somehow doubt the adventure games would be so successful in sales as Skyrim, that's a smaller niche. I'd rather they keep focus on the main series as it needs improvement, badly.

Elsweyr?

Come on there's always good beach party's down south of Elsweyr at Topal Bay

On a more serious note

If Elsweyr was TES VI, we'd need something to top Dragons which is pretty hard (Unless you keep the dragon idea)
But if you ever played Shadow of the Colossus, there would be an idea. have those things buried under the sand for like 1000 years or so and of course "The Elder Scrolls have foretold" what ever reason they come up to kill humanity for.
I had an idea at first but it had flaws, that the Gods were mad at man and used the Colossus's to rid of them while the Hero can stop it and redeem man. and each Colossus had some significance to each one of the Gods (Ex : Colossus of Julianos)

That's just my random Idea, mainly I just wanna go to the Beach parties

Edit : Holy crap I didn't see this until i decided to look at a map of http://i39.tinypic.com/1z4z52w.png

Now my Idea can appeal to the lore
I think.

HI 'Death Puppy. How's everything?

I gess it all boils down to personal preference. I wouldn't know about past TES games, but I just don't see much room for humour in TES other than specific minor instances. No big brush strokes, just a few slight touches. When you're walking around killing and avoiding being killed an ounce too much of humour can colour the whole experience into a farse. I wouldn't pay for or play a farse. Bigger cities, that I would welcome.

Yup, we need to have elsweyr as the next province, maybe valenwood to considering their sizes.

Not 100 % sure about the colosus tho.

I actually change my opinion about TES VI; it should be set in Elsweyr/Valenwood/Summerset Isle instead of Black Marsh/Morrowind!

In case of Elsweyr, I do agree that it should have Valvenwood included also.
But I think that Summerset Isle should be included with them too (at least as a DLC or something).
All those 3 provinces are not that big, and it would simply look amazing since it would be colorful and full of different cultures, meaning that there will be very little to none restriction to what will fit the theme and what will not.
It would also be a perfect opportunity to introduce a proper lichdom and return Unarmed (there will be no excuse not to have it since it's one of main reasons why Elsweyr is familiar for).
I actually change my opinion about TES VI; it should be set in Elsweyr/Valenwood/Summerset Isle instead of Black Marsh/Morrowind!
Still, I do think that they should give series a little bit of rest so they can really do a good job and not rush it like they did with Skyrim (give it a fair 5 years of development).

TES V > FO 4 > Redguard Remake/TES Adventures II > FO 5 > TES VI

This would be perfect if the questline for VI was centered around the Thalmor! The player could start out with only Elswyer to explore, then he would do a questline (Part of the main quest) that ends with the Thalmor being driven out of the province, and open up Valenwood. Another questline would then drive the Thalmor out of that province as well, opening up the Summerset Isles. At this point, the "epic" conclusion to the main questline would invole striking into the heart of the Thalmor, and eradicating them once and for all.

P.S. I know this might get in the way of RP'ers who would want to be able to explore everything at the beginning. But what if after finishing the game, you got the oppurtunity to create a new character, and play afound in the new, open, Thalmor-less world that was created at the finishing of the main quest?

Personally I think they should have the dwemer return or possibly even have them as playable characters

I think they need to stick to one province for me either Hammerfell or Elsweyr, I would prefer Elsweyr because it is smaller so they could add more detail to it and focus more on certain aspects.

By the time TES VI is released, standards in video games will really grow up when it comes to things like virtual world and stuff.
Also, it will be boring if they do a single province at a time.
It is time that they take a bit bigger bite.

Yes, but if they do two provinces at once the end result would be the same as Skyrim since they have to work with two provinces.

Plus they will be working on the game over the years still using the same standards and technology we have now, so I say just focus on one province and put a lot of detail and depth into it.

If they do two provinces I would want to go to High Rock and Hammerfell.
