Elder Scrolls VI: Akavir?

Post » Sat Jun 25, 2011 9:42 pm

One way or another, I'd really like to see Akavir more heavily involved with the plot of perhaps an Elder Scrolls VI. Perhaps Akavir invades Tamriel again? Perhaps the game is set in Akavir itself? Possibly instigating a rebellion against the monstrous Tsaesci who have "eaten", or assimilated the Akaviri men; the Tsaesci would certainly add another layer of depth, further blurring the lines between vicious beast and civilised humanoid and adding an even broader sense of diversity, along side the Dragons that are now making an appearance in Skyrim. I adore Dragons: their majesty, their magnificence, their ferocity and their power. Now that they are returning in Skyrim, it seems like a game set in Akavir might be the perfect sequel. Akavir is such a mystery, and yet it's also so enticing... The oriental allure of it is incredible; in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, my primary weapon choice was always the Akaviri Katana, as the weapons just had such grace that other weapons did not. We have only had glimpses of the Akaviri culture through books such as "Mysterious Akavir" or in quests such as "Lifting the Vale", but I personally (and, I expect, a vast amount of other avid gamers who enjoy the Elder Scrolls series) would love to be indulged in more Akaviri culture and finally get a glimpse of these mysterious race from the East.

The problem with that is that Akavir is still mysterious. If they make a game in Akavir, it won't live up to our expectations, and won't have the mysterious allure to it anymore. I doubt they will ever let us visit Akavir. I hope I'm wrong.

That's true, it would destroy the mystery... but even so, I'd love to see it, even if we only just cross the border. But then of course, it is on another continent, and so crossing the border would mean going by boat... hmmm...

I think in this case, destroying the mystery is a lousy excuse. Akavir could be awesome, though they'd have to do it in several provinces (or one of several). It's supposed to be pretty big.
