Official TES V Speculation Thread #83

Post » Sun Jun 13, 2010 5:54 pm

Bethesda shouldn't have any problems getting the trademark for the name because they used the name Skyrim in Oblivion and they could say that the name is copyright for that game and that their next game will be either using the Name Skyrim or its going to be in Skyrim.

That's not how trademarking works, at all. They have to make a game NAMED Skyrim. Using it IN a game doesn't count, at least not for this particular application.

dear Todd,
i have sent in past to my dear Bethesda ,emails and posts on the forum, that where not as lovely as they should have been (or deserving)! i want to say now that it was only to rouse to admit of TES 5, and show my anticipation for the next TES,nothing more!!! i have logged in over 2500 hours in TES 4 now.something i am very proud of!!
i own 6 copies of oblivion and 6 of fallout 3(all purchased new) because i want to support my favorite studio and keep them running smooth(i want to fight the good fight).because their is so much junk and so many junk studios out there that want to make a so so game and go home with some monies.
when i hear of a new game or the rumblings of one.the fist question i ask is ,who made it? and the second question i ask is,there is no second question.
i buy games based ONLY on who made them.it does not matter the the type of game. i have played many games where i despise the property but love the game(KOTOR).that is a testiment to that studios greatness!
valve,bioware,red storm,bungie,ken levine,lionhead,epic,id,black isle(rip),squaresoft(rip),digital extremes,ion storm(rip) and Q games to name most!
and i will let you hazard a guess where Bethesda falls in that list,it falls at the very top!!!!!
Bethesda has the midas touch.BUT me and everyone of your other fans of the TES series is chomping at the bits here!please for the love of the gods,just find someone with a camera or recorder or note pad or telegraph it or send it in brail. just tell us it exeists.please! we don't want a picture.we don,t want you to give a date.we want you to do whatever you need to do,because you do it very well.i would never presume to know what is best,as no fan should.
we just want to know that TES 5 exeists!please
i know this is very long winded.but it is also an apology
for what i have writen (to any and all who have read)and it makes me feel better,and that is the point! BETHESDA UP!

Actually, for once I don't think it has.

Scroll down to the last post in that thread, it's a possible explanation rather than just repeating the same thing. And hey, it seems to make sense!

If we assume that the rumors are true, if the "Dragon Lord" and so, then there are really only two possible references.

1) The "Dragon Lord" refers to Akatosh, Dragon King, and Emperors ("Dragon Blood"). Not quite unlikely if there is a "direct sequel" to oblivion. Is difficult to see, however, exactly how it would be designed, when Martin was the last Septima.

2) The "Dragon Lord" refers to a reference in the book Mysterious Akavir:
Ka Po 'Tun is the "Tiger-Dragon's Empire". The cat-folk here ARE ruled by the divine Tosh Raka, the Tiger-Dragon. They Are Now a very great empire, Stronger Than Tsaesci (though note at sea). After the Serpent-People ate all the But, Do They Tried to eat all the Dragons. They managed to enslave the Red Dragons, But the black ones Law had fled to (hadeeth) Po Tun. A great war was raged, Which left bothering the cats & the snakes Weak, and the Dragons all dead. Since That Time The Cat-People Have Tried to Become the Dragons. Tosh Raka is the first to Succeed. He Is The Largest Dragon in the world, orange and black, and he very hock Many new ideas.
"First," Tosh Raka says, "Is that we kill all the vampire snakes." Then the Tiger-Dragon Emperor Wants to invade Tamriel.


Here one can imagine that the Ka Po 'Tun has managed to defeat the vampire snakes and now is about to invade Tamriel? Given that the Empire is no emperor with great problems, particularly in western provinces, even after the Games of The War of Bend'r-Makha, it would surely be vital to the Blades must stop the invasion before it reaches the Empire. Which would then give two possible moves by sites: Akavir and Morrowind (mainland Telvanni isf, then Akavir east of Morrowind).

Very interesting. Assuming the theories on locations are correct, could it be possible that the Dragon Lord has reached Morrowind, and is now pushing into the heart of the Empire? If the game is set in Skyrim, then we have two reasons to fight against the Dragon Lord from there:

1) To save the crumbling Empire, no doubt with political gain in mind for both Skyrim and the player, by attacking Morrowind from the north while Cyrodiil holds the central border.
2) The Dunmer now live in Skyrim, and would certainly be interested in waging war against the Dragon Lord, if only to reclaim their homeland.

I want TESV already!!! GGRRR~~ D: Or atleast some more info straight from Beth on it and no more of this "hide and guess what we are REALLY talking about" crap T__T *Sorry for being [censored]y*

1.But ya *ahem* Does anyone think Beth might add in NEW races into the mix for the PC to err...play as in TESV????
Idk if it NEEDS any new races but I won't deny that it could be pretty neat! :P

(I want my werewolf race damit!!!! without the necessary of havent to get bitten yet no one knowing, even tho it would just look like a human....)

2.Anyone think creatures like werewolves or vampires will be in this one??? I know alot of ppl liked werewolves and were disappointed like myself when they were not there in the xbox360 ver. of Oblivion. T___T

What about if they add it as Sub name?
Fake Example like if they called Oblivion than added the sub name of Skyrim? = The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion:Skyrim.

Ok, I just realized how stupid that looks

Hmm I'm not sure about werewolves but I bet there will be vampires. There were vampires in every TES (not sure about Arena), but there were definitely vampires in TES2,3 and 4. TES V wouldn't be an TES without vampires.
And I hope that there are going to be more vampire races again like in Morrowind with Clans and so on, that would be so awesome...

Cant't wait any longer for any info's about TES V...i want it now^^

1: I highly doubt it, whats wrong with the original races? And having a werewolf race would ruin all of the fun, and make the MQ highly illogical, especially if its assisting Emporer Mede or the King of Skyrim.

2: Vampires will definitely be in ES:V, they've been in every Elder Scrolls game, iirc. How well they do them... well, we shall wait and see. Werewolves, maybe, I don't know how high the demand for them was when the game was first out, but if enough people want them, they'll put them in, I guess, it would sure make a lot of people happy.

I don't think anything is wrong with the orginal races but I like to be able to pick something diffrent everynow n than.....How would haven a werewolf race ruin the fun?I think it would add to it since you have to have strategy and pretty much watch about when the full moon or night cycle would happen (if it does it that way) I started a werewolf character right off the bat when I got to level 16 *it was at easy difficulty of course but still was super hard to get to that point) anyways I did this and am atleast half way thru the story mode with my werewolf character, I am also not using the ring so i turn ever time at night, its been super hard to do but i love it, shows that it IS durable and hasn't ruined the fun for my RPing

Werewolves in TES are normal people afflicted with lycanthropy. Making a werewolf 'race' would go against all the lore that I am aware of.

Besides, it's much cooler to integrate it into the game itself with its own storyline.

True, I guess I was just trying to get across that I want them in TESV and how imho it would be a good idea to add them in, I mean you have ALOT of mythical creatures already in TES games so why not add in werewolves?

I just hope if they do readd them in TESV that they dont change the way they look, loved how they looked in TES4 Bloodmoon but i hope they dont just make them into Twilight looking big wolfs-___-

And of course for those just joining us, the January GI announcement means the February issue. Which is also what I think is the most likely scenario at this point.

As much as i want a VGA announcement, i'd say the best bet is january announcement coupled with the GI reveal. I suppose we should keep track of that GI dude for anymore hints from his tweets.

I agree here. While I certainly would not receive a VGA announcement with disappointment, a January announcement and GI reveal seems the most promising of the two.

Wait, so the February GI issue is the one we are hoping will have the TESV cover, and it will be released in January, but the cover will be revealed in a week or two..

..right?

These magazine dates are so confusing..
