TES VI: Hammerfell

Post » Wed Dec 14, 2011 10:12 pm

I think that they're more planning on releasing the entire continent in Skyrim, one province per DLC, rather than going ahead to ES VI. Speculating on the next installment of the series is a bit short sighted.

Spoiler
The entire landmass of Tamriel is already built into Skyrim, apparently. Here's a blog about it: http://ppsh-41.tumblr.com/post/13145143504/entire-tamriel-landmass-built-into-skyrim

The fact that they created models and characters of hammerfell soldiers in Skyrim makes me think the same thing. Not to mention a lot of people and books reference it more so than any other province besides morrowind and cyrodriil

I don't think that the 'We went to (part) of Hammerfell in Daggerfall' argument holds much water.

Daggerfall is a very old game, and I'd say the majority - even vast majority of TES players haven't played Daggerfall, including myself. I just don't see that as a good reason not to go back there, especially with all that we've heard is going on down in Hammerfall. Think of all the sea-oriented stuff, Stros'Mkai, some deserts, some grasslands/jungles. I really think that it comes to Hammerfall or Valenwood.



Still dont change the facts that Bethesda made a game based on Hammerfell..
Going like that, wait 8 years and we have another "Skyrim" since it was "So long ago we were there"..

Daggerfall was easily the best TES game :)

Ok, I think the best way of putting it is that Hammerfell is a Middle East/Anatolian climate/geography, and Elsweyr is like the Saharan and Equatorial portions of Africa.

I want to see the whole Tamriel in a single TES game for a change.

Hammerfell was shown twice ingame actually; one by a game call Redguard base on a story of Cyrus the Restless, and Daggerfall, which shown part of Hammerfell (northern part). It holds the desert/arabian/jungle theme.

Also this.

Then I suggest one play the game Daggerfall and see this for ya self. Its a game worth its salt if one wanna get into the history of how The Elder Scroll became popular in the past.

I think you are right, especially with all the Redguard stuff in Skyrim. It seems like a plausible place.

Thats a lot more difficult than you think. I could see maybe once part of a province, but a whole entire one is a big deal. You need to re create the culture, factions, items, voice acting, scenery, dungeons, and more. It's a lot of work.

TES: Arena and TES: Daggerfall is, in my opinion what the Elder Scrolls is all about :)

I'd like to see the world go bigger than just one province. A combined Summerset/Valenwood/Elsewyr game would be fantastic IMO.

Another thought: something completely different... Akavir.

Either way, I'd love to see some Sload as major bad-guys, even the engineers of the war between the mer and men, part of a revenge scheme that's been centuries in the making.

I'm hoping for TES VI: Black Marsh or Akavir. been hoping for black marsh since morrowind. Wouldn't ultimately make a difference though, if the game is based in another province then thats another province closer to
TES ### Black Marsh :D

Actually, the desert, the Ali'kr, only occupies the westernmost tip of the province. A lot of the rest is mountains and badlands, savannas and oasis, with the south most and east most looking like Cyrodiil's Gold Coast / Imperial Reserve. Hammerfell is about as varied in landscape as Skyrim is, if not even more.

Take into account that we've never been to any of the southern provinces. Always the northern or central ones.

It will be one of the four southern provinces.

Just a quick interjection from all your (awesome) comments and suggestions, peeps:

From what I read somewhere, Daggerfall's terrain was randomly generated for a lot of it, was it not? Correct me if I'm wrong please, I've just seen a couple of forum-goers so far say that. (:

To an above poster: yeah, the art direction for the Hammerfell Garb is crazy awesome :D


Your right, it's randomly generated. On some save games in Daggerfall, I've had a lot of areas in Hammerfell appear as a snowy forest. The desert is usually very gray and dull looking, not desertish. In my opinion, High Rock and Hammerfell being in Daggerfall doesn't really count because everyone has a different view of the provinces and nobody actually knows what they look like.

A lot of work is true. But with the success of this title and the revenue it has generated, who's to say that Bethesda can't hire an even bigger team for an even bigger (and very ambitious) project? I would be in support for providence DLC's like this if it were feasible.

That way all the providences would be utilized and it would open the door for something like TES VI: The Merethic / First / Second Era (etc).

I know about Redguard! Never played it, but videos and all that. (: I hardly think it counts, though. Like, there was a spinoff (I think for cellphones) that came out in 2004, and that took place in Dawnstar, but lo and behold, glorious Skyrim, seven years later! :D

Its pre-randomly generated, like how Oblivion operated. Its not random as everything remain the same, imcluding every dunegons, landscape, and town one went. If anything that is ramdonize, its the quests and dialogue, both heavily complexes compare to todays games.

Lets be honest though; Redguard depicted Cyrus as one of the most badass hero in the whole series. He also made http://www.imperial-library.info/content/lord-vivecs-sword-meeting-cyrus-restless and http://www.imperial-library.info/content/origin-cyrus. Hes a freaken jedi, I tell ya.

If you want an alien world to explore like Morrowind, then Hammerfell is not the place you want to go. It's yet another human province. It would be the third in a row.
