I would be saddened if it was announced no more TES, but I would look for a new game then. I just hope TES V comes out soon.

I'd be pretty pissed off, especially if our last TES game was Oblivion. God. :facepalm:

:rofl: seriously though it would svck but at the end of the day Beth would just make another awesome game, probably good enough to fill in TES shoes (of course it's a near impossible task but if someone can do it it's Beth)...

Merely entertaining the idea makes me sad...you have no idea how much of my youth I've spent on this series.

TES accentually taught me how to read. How sad is that?

My soul would have closure.

I'll go back to sleep and never wake up again.

Yup. There many other games out there to keep me entertained. Plus, I still have Daggerfall, Morrowind and Oblivion to keep modding/playing. So won't mind at all.

I'd just play the quadrilogy and other games. Bethesda might be my favorite company, but they're not the only company. I'd have to focus all my attention on BioWare, I guess. It's my prediction that the dying breath of the Elder Scrolls franchise will spawn an MMO to sap the last penny out of the idea. I imagine I'd play it for a bit.

I would just be gutted,very gutted..yes there are other good games out there......but no elder scrolls......i dont want to think about it...its too painfull.
I can maybe see this being the last elder scrolls for the current consoles ( if indeed they are making another )...but when the next generation of consoles come out...they would surely want to make a new elder scrolls for them..to push the boundries of what they've done already
I would at least hope so anyway.

That is great. What is sad, is no one will know how to read if they just play Oblivion or Fallout 3. With all this voice acting, it takes away from the reading. It just makes the game lazier to play and I am shure it ends up people reading less and less. Well it's not Bethesda's job to teach us to read, but it was nice when we had alot of reading to do though. It's a shame we get less and less of it now.

I'd do what i've been doing since the release of oblivion -- carry on in ignorance.

Continue playing Morrowind and Oblivion and watch eagerly for news of DaggerXL. Pretty much what I'm doing now.

I'm thinking the next Elder Scrolls won't be very good anyway, so yeh I wouldn't really care.

Right. The universe is possibly infinite... so, if it is inifinite, that means somewhere Nirn exists. Basically my plan involves building a big interstellar space craft and looking for Tamriel.

Awesome :drool: do please notify the forums if such feat is ever created

You know, I'm sure I used to debate with you about Oblivion's fast travel, lack of jungle etc, and you were on the Oblivion side... I remember seeing that black guy who annoyed me to no end for some reason as your avatar, and I knew it was the sign of bad things to come

Play Two Worlds 2 or Gothic 4

You want to know what I'd do? I'll tell you what I'd do!

I'd work on my own fan-version of a future game using Oblivion as the base. I'd completely wipe the stuff that happens in the novels out of the universe and start the story right where Oblivion left off, maybe a couple years later. My character from Oblivion would travel to the different provinces of Tamriel, getting in adventures in each one and forging a new empire of sorts, but one where the provinces agree and get along much better. Then after that phase my character would go to Akavir and get involved there, maybe meeting the Nerevarine and working with them side-by-side to fight whatever evils lay in wait and forging a NEW alliance with the "good" races of Akavir, whichever they may turn out to be.

After that I'd explore the other continents that nobody talks about, like Atmora or Pyandonea, maybe even invent a NEW one. After all that was done I'd maybe travel to other worlds/planes by way of Daedric realms and adventures.

Basically, I'd create mod after mod to keep playing oblivion,creating content, and expanding Lore the way *I* wanted it to unfold, and have fun with Elder Scrolls forever and ever... lol. A bit selfish maybe but that's how it's gonna be if Beth put an end to their production of it.

That's what *I* would do. Yeah buddy!

Why don't you do that anyway?

Who knows. Maybe the fans will like your TES V better than the real TES V.

Well... because I don't have enough time to do something like that in short order. But over the next few years I just might have to!

Oh, of course! :tops:

Pete Hines: "I don't think so. They're building up their teams, and they already have four amazing brands they're working on. So they already have enough titles to work on that they own. On the flip side, Todd [Howard] and his team have their hands full with The Elder Scrolls and Fallout."

Oooo, he let it slip there. I feel like an idiot for ever doubtung that they were working on the elder scrolls 5. You should bring this to the speculation thread.

If it ends, it ends, but I would still enjoy the games that already exist, as their replay value still shows through.

The real heartbreak, would be if the modding of Morrowind and Oblivion got less, and less. I truly wish that those that have never experienced the modding aspect, had at least 24 hours of enjoying a modded Morrowind or Oblivion. I remember when I first got the game, and was enjoying it, and it almost seemed as if whenever we say to ourselves "You know, I wish there were "insert whatever you wish here" in the game.", someone would either have done it, or has it on their drawing board. It has been this way since wanting a companion, to more recently, when I wanted to know if there was a traditional Robin Hood outfit for the game, and the great Ms. Alienslof and co. provided just that. It's almost like having your own game mod genie sometimes.

That is what I would miss, more than the next installment.

Echo EdwardNorth's thinking as well. There are far too many great stories, feats, adventures, and so forth that could be told from the existing and yet explored lands to just settle for the attrition based stories or the creative roadblocks they've put up already.

Don't even talk like that.
