Idea for TES VI

Post » Tue Dec 06, 2011 2:04 pm

While I have seen people asking about other regions of Tamriel for TES VI, I have an idea that is plausible, and will please everyone.

make the whole continent of Tamriel, and before anyone jumps on me about this, hear me out first.

I know some people are concerned that Bethesda would just cookie cutter locations, but I have to disagree with that, since Bethesda has always made an effort to make every location unique, the only problem was the NPC's, which they did fix in Skyrim.

They don't need to make all of Tamriel availible right off, possibly just Cyrodil and one or two lands that already have basic models for Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim.

Make those three availible right off, just upgrade Morrowind and Oblivion with Skyrim's graphics and gameplay mechanics, and make them instanced, so that when you leave Cyrodil for instance to go to Skyrim, a few days or weeks pass in-game time to arrive there.

Also, make it possible to choose where you start, such as in Skyrim, Morrowind or Cyrodil.

Make Elswyr and the other lands availible as DLC content once they are created, this will have several advantage's. The first being that it maximizes the use of the graphics and personnel needed for the project.

The second would be that this will generate additional income for Bathesda, as well as keeping things interesting.

Make the Akaviri lands availible later on as well, which would add Akaviri items, weapons and armor to the game.

I would love to see it take place just after Skyrim, only this time, your another Dragonborn consolidating power to take on the weak, and corrupt Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion, and the goal is to gather as many allies as possible.

It took four years for Beth to make Skyrim to the level of detail its at now with what, a hundred people I believe? The cost of this project would be enormous, but entertaining the idea lets look at a realistic timescale. With all seven provinces your looking at a twenty eight year project for it to be worth anything. Morrowind the game only consisted of Vvardenfell, so they would still have an entire province to build, axing the 'just update Morrowind' bit and honestly, plus they would have to rewrite events, quests ect for both games to make it work. Its an unrealistic sink-hole of a project friend.

That is not true actually, true, they didn't have the full region of Morrowind, but in this case, a good bit of Morrowind, including Vaardenfel or however it is spelled, was destroyed in a volcanic eruption.

As for the quest line, I said during or just after Skyrim, though it would be better if it was AFTER Skyrim.

And doing it the way I said would actually save time and money, since they wouldn't be doing it all at once, and as new area's are opened up, you get new items, armor, weapons, etc..

It wouldn't take 28 year's, since they already have what they need for both Morrowind, Cyrodil, and Skyrim, so it would take much to update the texture's and models.

They only included Vvardenfell and Solsthiem in Morrowind plus Mournhold, which isn't even a full city. They would still have to build Morrowind from the ground up and as you pointed out, Vvardenfell was destroyed so there goes that work. Even if they kept just Skyrim and Oblivion, they would still have to rework everything to reflect the current situation and just updating the graphics isn't a viable solution. Theres so much more work that would have to be involved and it would take to much time and money they could be spent devoting to the Fallout Series or newer Elder Scrolls Games. Like I said, assume they take the same amount of time and care they did with Skryim and you still have a four year development time between releases.
