The Elder Scrolls VI: Optionia : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Wed May 20, 2015 8:19 pm

In terms of an RPG, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was much like a square peg attempting to fit into holes of all different shapes. The game came with a few basic options, but ultimately left some people wanting a more immersive experience.

In order to combat this, The Elder Scrolls 6: ??? would have to, instead, be fluid like water; filling a multitude of differently shaped cups. Expanding the depth of available options will enable ES6 to be tailored to each unique person; ensuring that nearly everyone "gets what they want", so to speak. :banana:

<~~~ That's a reason to celebrate, no?

A few examples of options might be...

_____________________________________Immersive Options___________________________________________________________

Targeting Reticle [On / Off] ~{Removes the targeting reticle}~

Harsh Weather Effects [On / Off] ~{Harsh Weather effects will negatively affect the player.}~ (Ex. Extended exposure to cold will induce hypothermia and can kill the player if left unchecked.)

Hunger / Sleep / Thirst [On / Off] ~{The player must eat, drink, and sleep or they will suffer penalties, and eventually death, if left unchecked.}~

Compass [Simple / Detailed / Off] ~{(Simple): Displays only Direction. (Detailed): Displays Direction, Markers, Objectives, and nearby points of interest. (Off): Removes the Compass.}~

Stealth Indicator [On / Off] ~{Enables or Disables the Stealth Indicator when sneaking}~

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

These options would, of course, be able to be changed at any time during the play session.

I'm interested to hear this communities' thoughts on this idea.

Literally the first two threads in this section at the time you made this thread were the official TESVI threads. Please use the official threads for speculation and discussion on future TES games.

Indeed, however the threads are thoroughly flooded with discussions about various aspects of the game. I created this thread to draw attention to a single aspect of the game. If you have nothing constructive to add, please refrain from replying. Thank you!

The threads are flooded for a reason, it's so the discussion board isnt flooded with threads about the same general thing. This will likely be merged with the official thread regardless of your original intent. I was giving you some helpful advice so the mods don't have to get on you about it. That is constructive. You're welcome.
