Bethesdas GRAND plan?

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 9:21 am

By then they will have the technology to put all the lands into one game. A game that takes 1000 hours of gameplay to beat. It will just be called "The Elder Scrolls- THE WHOLE FREAKING WORLD"

Not that it's impossible....

Dude, that was a camera that started maybe 5 miles above the surface of the mountains and went down from there, but the "earth" was all lightened to seem like it is so massive and being looked at from the stratosphere. Look at the scale. That sh1t of an earth is a few hundred miles in diameter.
Besides the trick is that it's all made of a few basic elements.

Hostile much? Seems like you are arguing for the sake of arguing. The tech will surely be ready by the time Bethesda even considers doing all of Tamriel or Nirn.

Sorry, i'm offended that someone may believe that was accurate. I watch tons of discovery channel and nat geo so i would not trip into that, i get pissed when others do and be sure to rectify.

Ehh... about the technology, i agree ^_^

I'd figure with either Skyrim (but probably not) or the next one they will have the ability to add entire provinces as expansions. I mean it really only took three years to make Skyrim, and with all the gameplay features done, it isn't much of a stretch to assume they could fill a vast region of land in a year with an expansion. Considering that technology advances so quickly i would probably expect a really huge game after Skyrim. By then we will have the new generation of consoles.

TESVI would be the perfect chance to start building the world of Nirn, game by game. Hardware tessellation will allow "rendered CGI" quality models to be used in the game. That way, you could up tessellation value as hardware gets better.

No, Tamriel means "dawn's beauty". "Nirn" means "arena". Need to keep the two distinct, as there's plenty to Nirn aside from Tamriel itself. ;)


Actually, your right about what Tamriel means, your wrong what Nirn means. Arena is just the name that was given to Tamriel when Jagar Tharn was in power. After the return of Emperor Uriel Septim VII, it was no longer called "The Arena" because the chaos was ended by Uriel Septim taking control back after being freed from his prison in Oblivion.

Anyone think Beth will make an ES game in each province before making TES:Tamriel?

Is that what they're planning? sure its a long way to go, but I can see it happening one day when technology allows it.



Is that before or after Dec. 2012..... :whistling:

I hope so.

I think if we keep buying them, they'll keep making them.

TES:Nirn
Best RPG ever. It will cause a TES religion to sprout up IRL and then things basically go the way of the Futurama Star Trek episode.

You're making an assumption that Bethesda has a grand plan?

I'm pretty sure they are making it up as they go along, but I could be wrong :wink_smile:


Oh, I'm sure they have a plan of some kind. Like the previous TES games leading up to Skyrim, prophecising the return of the dragons.

Hopefully something cool like the Gods being revealed as shams (Mortals who attained the power of Gods and then just mucked around with the people for lulz .... Kind of like Trudi Canavan's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_Five

You are right. Sorry, my fault.

After the return of Emperor Uriel Septim VII, it was no longer called "The Arena" because the chaos was ended by Uriel Septim taking control back after being freed from his prison in Oblivion.


Well, my source is Spanish Wikipedia (not very reliable, anyway), but there it says that Nirn in elven means Arena... where can I find the correct info? No doubting of you, but I would like to see myself.

Eurrrh... in The Elder Scrolls, it's exactly the opposite. The Gods lose their power and become mortals. And games were not pointing to Skyrim, as far as I know. They just... improvise. With cool results.
