how easy would it be for them to be like "oh hey here are some forbidden lost elder scrolls that noone but GOD has ever seen or heard about, here's 5 more scrolls for ya!" lol

There's many, many more scrolls

See, The Elder Scrolls

Personally I'd love to see prequels.

there could be could be a million elderscrolls or there could be a million and one for all we know.

explore akavir?
black marsh?
TES VI - the elven war chapters?

"and the lore clearly states dragons have been locked away for thousands of years..."
I don't think they're really going by the book anymore

yeah, locked away untill the nerevarine did some stuff, which in turn let mehrunes dagon do some stuff and now akatosh is released and now HE can do some stuff, which includes releasing dragons

*yeah im not so good with explaining the situation

And then God came down from Mundus and proclaimed, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/General:Elder_Scrolls


:violin:

id actually like them to start with a new fantasy RPG. one that is more grown up and more dark fantasy. id like to see completely new races though humans still included for people like me who want the character to resemble themselves somewhat. the races should not be super exotic and should not detract from the game world. *cough*kittens and lizards* preferable they shouldnt resemble something i see every month when i get my cats claws trimmed at the pet store. there was a game that i tried a demo of way back called asherons call which has new races and monsters that i had never heard of.

i think a new series would be healthy, how ever they have so much lore, why not do somthing with that?

Are you boofin' with me? They've invested so much time and effort into the TES lore, how dare you?

It aint over.

I will refuse to buy any other games from Bethesda...as a form of protest.

If they ever decide to call it a day and start a new fantasy RPG-series, I have a hope... Depending on the outcome of the Elder Scrolls series (whether or not Akatosh "swallows" the world or not, that sorta stuff), maybe they could set the series in another continent on Nirn. Akavir and Atmora springs to mind. Mind however, that I am far from lore expert, so I have virtually no idea of how that would work. Nonetheless, it would allow for the current lore to be expanded on and new lore to be thought of. It would allow for a different setting (a darker setting, preferably) and other stuff. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Nirn Therefore, made-up (by the people of the area) gods and lore could be present; in these mythic corners of Nirn. Something I find especially intriguing.

These thoughts could also just be a manifestation of me wanting to know everything there is to know about TES...

the wall isn't were the elder scrolls comes from. the wall is merely a part of one of the scrolls. there are plenty of scrolls.

Todd saind something about how it was the end of the current chapter and the beginning of a new one. There's surely going to more scrolls. Bethesda is going to make SO much money off this by the way.

Source, please?

When I see this thread title, I always picture a guy standing on a street corner yelling: "The Elder Scrolls are over! Repent, for the end is nigh! Repent!"

But I can see how it would end the main storyline, but as a whole series I doubt it.

Since Bethesda decided to dedicate each game to each province of Tamriel,I believe there will be at least 9 elder scrolls games,counting from Morrowind on.
Skyrim will be the 3 one,which means there are going to be 6 more games.
And if every game comes out 5 years after the previous one,that means Bethesda will be making TES games for the next 30 years.
I guess after 30 years it will be a reasonable time to reboot the series and start everything over.
:shifty:

Then we will go to Akaviri, then Pyandonea, then Thras, then Yokuda, then Aetherius .

So no more elder scrolls to base games on?

"After the climactic defeat of Alduin, the resulting forces changed the Elder Scrolls, inscribing upon them a new and terrifying future.One that is sure to change the face of Tamriel as we know it."

There you go. we now have prophecies to cover 5 more ES games.

I've always wanted to actually go to Aetherius in a recent game.
I'd much rather go to Pyandonea and Thras then Akavir.

What are you talking about? There are at least six. Or didn't you complete the Thieves Guild Questline in Oblivion?

Hell, they had libraries of the things. What, you think the hundreds of blind moths just sit around all day doing nothing?

I don't think they have decided to dedicate each game to each province. Skyrim is taking place in all of Skyrim (see the GI tour of their offices and you can see the map they're working with - it covers the entire province) and Oblivion covered all of Cyrodiil, but Morrowind only covered a relatively small portion of the province it was named for. Even Oblivion wasn't really dedicated to Cyrodiil, it just seems to have taken place there because... well, the plot was dealing with major world-changing events that couldn't have really taken place anywhere else. And that's to say nothing of Daggerfall (which blends regions of High Rock and Hammerfell), Arena (which covers the entire empire), or any of the spin-off games (which mostly take place either in a single dungeon or in a smaller region within one of the provinces).

Given how they handle the series, with pretty significant changes in their approach and in what they try to "innovate" with every title, I really wouldn't expect them to labor through each province one by one. I'd actually be surprised if we go a full six titles after Skyrim without getting another that tries to cover all the provinces again (or that's released as a sort of platform and includes one region, with DLC or expansions developed to add more regions to it in the same way that GTA4 has DLC "sequels" of sorts).

Either way, the Elder Scrolls (as in, the actual scrolls within the universe that the series takes place in) don't contain just five prophecies like the first poster said so it's sort of a moot point. They contain the entire history of Tamriel, including events that haven't happened yet. Even with that aside, Bethesda wouldn't kill a cash cow for the sake of preserving canon.
