Redo arena, Daggerfall and morrowind! As iv missed the previous tes titles. Would be cool if they did that. Or have the game take place in unvisited places.

.....Or you could play the previous game titles maybe?

Hardly the end of the series. There are countless other Elder Scrolls that are yet to be fulfilled .

If it is the end of the series... Well, I hope it goes out with a bang. TES deserves that much.

i can guarantee you that games set in elsweyr and black marsh would bomb big time. its one thing to see a few kittens and lizards walking around but if the vast majority of npcs are kittens and lizards..........how can you not laugh at a game like that. its first person animal crossing.

making to many TES games is a very bad idea. kind of like when george lucas should have called it quits after the first 3 star wars movies or when they made to many resident evil games until they were nothing like the originals at all. at some point they are going to make a TES game that is so awful and so unlike its predecessors that it will be unrecognizable. if skyrim turns out to be better than oblivion i would like them to end the series on a high note and start something new. thats why i liked morrowind in the first place cause it was completely new and alien to me. shivering isles for oblivion is how that game should have been made in the first place. after 5 games its just not new anymore.

We will need a 64bit runtime to pull that off. Game after next for sure. :unsure:

how can you guarantee that?
i would love to have a game set in black marsh, and just because you wouldnt doesnt mean that the general public wouldnt.

i think the last elder scrolls title, will be the elder scrolls ix

They still have the Eye of Argonia to turn to.

Well the odds of them walking away from The Elder Scrolls is almost zero... unless an Elder Scrolls MMO comes along and they go all BioWare/KotoR and abandon the single player series. That is unlikely of course since Bethesda Games Studio would not be making any possible TES MMO.

As for SHOULD they stop... I don't think so to be honest. I total agree with you about Resident Evil. I was a HUGE fan of the RE series until RE4... which was not a RE game as far as I was concerned. The story was totally different, the gameplay was different, and the enemy I was fighting were different. It was a different game series that Capcom simply put the Resident Evil name on to sale copies, which worked very well for them. However, I don't see that happening with TES. I mean for the TES series to change like RE did, it would have to basically turn into a Fable clone... and that isn't not going to happen. Bethesda seems to stick with what works, and simply add onto it or make small changes. Will there eventually be a bad TES? Sure. Its bound to happen if they keep making them... but just because one might be bad some day, doesn't mean they should stop making them just to "end on a high note". For all we know the next game would be 100% better then Skyrim, and the game after that might be even better.

So as long as the TES series is making money, I think Bethesda should keep right on making them... and I'm sure they will. We will probably see a rotation of Fallout and Elder Scrolls games for years to come.

the elder scrolls vi: eye of argonia, release date december 2017, set in black marsh, coming soon! :celebration:

The elderscrolls are much more comprehensive than the wall, and as a game series TES will be around as long as Bethesda can come up with ways to make a better game. Something along those lines was said by Todd in his interview with GI I believe.

if you thought RE4 was bad.......wait till you play RE5.

the problem is that bethesda doesnt make small changes from game to game.........they make HUGE changes from game to game and they havent always kept what worked in previous games. morrowind is almost a completely different game than oblivion in its core concepts from combat, spellcasting, quest directions, travelling, environment, weapon and armor systems, etc. i couldnt play very far in daggerfall cause of the graphics but from what ive heard morrowind was very different it. how many more skills can they get rid of. how much more can they streamline the game until it becomes a mere shadow of the games that started the franchise. i couldnt wait for the next RE game to come out after playing 1 and 2 and i hoped that they would keep making games like that forever.....alas how i wish they had stopped. its not just RE either. silent hill has gone down the crapper as well as other games that go on too long. very few games get better as they go along and usually those are things like racing games where they only tweak graphics and some settins hear and there.

as for fallout they could probably get some more traction out of that simply because fallout 3 is essentially an entirely different game than fallout 1 and 2. so technically we are only on fallout 2 right now with new vegas.

i also stand by my view that elsweyr and black marsh games would be disasterous. the only people that would like that are people that are already mesmorized with beast races to begin with. imagine almost every character you see is a hissing lizard or a khajit with their annoying voices...............that would get old after about 10 minutes to the normal person. better to stick with elven and human provinces.......at least you can relate to them.

This thread is foolish.

The Elder Scrolls - will blind the man who reads them.

Divining their meaning has been the purpose of surprise for all the games, and the elusive device amongst the inhabitants of Tamriel.

The point to having such divine records breeds precedence to any game developed. Warp in the West, anyone?

The return of Alduin is but another feather in the cap, another means to an end, the same as any other, a culmination of prophecy, an exposition of eventuality. It does not mean the end of all things, nor does it preclude the persistent nature of The Elder Scrolls.

What ends here is the story that is told, and what begins is left unknown, that is until 11/11/11... for just as we knew at the end of Oblivion, the end of the 3rd era became real, and so shall we know the fate of Tamriel at the end of Skyrim.

I don't know where people got the idea that defeating dagoth ur and destroying the Heart of Lorkhan caused the Oblivion crisis to occur. If the Mythic Dawn had made their move before the events of Morrowind they would've opened Oblivion still and would've succeeded. There is no mention anywhere that the Heart of Lorkhan kept the barrier sealed. It was all the pact between Alessia and Akatosh that had to do with the barrier. As long as the line of rulers that had Akatosh's divine blood and their faith in nine divines didn't waver, the barrier would remained sealed. Well the emperor died, thus the barrier is opened. Nothing to do with Dagoth Ur and the red tower. Also, you know my thoughts on "Akatosh being Alduin" stuff lol.

The amount of prophecies is not equal to the amount of scrolls, each scroll is blank and displays a prophecy through a ritual which is interpreted by the ancestor moth monks. All 5 Elder Scrolls prophecies may have come from the same scroll we don't know that. We also don't know what prophecies were recorded by the ancestor moth monks and have not yet been realized or broken.

But that's just lore... Sadly I have a feeling that this is the final game that's gonna wrap everything up...

I highly doubt that this is the last Elder Scrolls game. Maybe the end of the era we played in Arena through Skyrim, but definitely not TES. To much money and potential.

This is the correct answer. Also, weren't there several scrolls?

Also, no one ever put in their two bits about this:

I've always wondered, what is more powerful? The Elder Scrolls or Akatosh? Can Akatosh change events that have already happened even though they are set in the Elder Scrolls. It is said that the events that have already happened in the Elder Scrolls cannot be changed by magic or otherwise and we know that the Elder Scrolls can change reality if they are changed. So can the past be altered by Akatosh if it's set in the Elder Scrolls. *Prepares for the hole ripped in the Universe*



They don't have to find a way around any of the lore. That's the ingenious part of how they set out with their lore, it is always open for new lore without contradicting itself.

I think we will see a new line of prophecies start with a new game when the next gen consoles are released which means a new engine and some snazzy graphics upgrades!

thos actual prophecies are just part of one of the many Elder Scrolls lol

I've wondered things like this. Is there any source on how the Elder Scrolls even came to be? That is one-question I've never had answered, or that I've even seen discussed, despite all of my forum time and lore-digging.

anybody remember that thing we had to get for the Grey Fox

to sum it up there are more than 5 scrolls

I'd love to see one of the TES games focus on the Elven Wars!
