Elder Scrolls VI

I was under the impression that the next TES game was supposed to be in Summerset Isles, is that wrong?

One thing I loved about Skyrim were the castles and the urban kind of areas like Whiterun and Solitude, id like to see more of things like that... I love urban locations in fantasy games I also love forests too haha

I know this sounds weird but in many ways Skyrim is very... basic, like the animations, the dialogue... id like to see those expanded I guess... in Fallout 4 they started using an almost-cutscene thing in conversations and id like to see more of things like that, not with a voiced character, but I think cutscenes, even if only a few during the plot and a different camera during conversations, would totally work, and more combat animations and must more animations as a whole would be good too haha

In terms of lore and gameplay id like to see them expand on magic most of all... skyrims magic is fun and everything but it touches on some things which I think could be awesome if they became a more important part of gameplay... telekinesis, wards, stuff like that... And with the wabbajack, werewolves and vampire lords existing its generally proof that shapeshifting is possible, so maybe shapeshifting also would be nice in the place of shouts, and you could unlock more forms by going through dungeons...
You could have things kinda harmless like bunnies to sneak around enemies without being killed, wolves to lead a pack of them into an enemy camp, basically anything you can find and maybe a dragon too... I think it might work as a shout replacement with every form having its own abilities and attacks... just an idea

Location: I'm pretty open here, but I'd love Hammerfell. After Skyrim's Scandinavian setting you could have stuff inspired by Petra and Biblical/Assyrian/whatever stuff, I think there's a lot of potential there.

Engine: well I gave up hope on this one, I expect Bethesda to stick to that 19th century engine forever.

Gameplay: this is the one thing I really want changed. Look at Chivalry's combat system, it's fantastic. And that's made by a small indie studio. Imagine Skyrim with Chivalry's swordplay, it'd make a huge difference. But I'm pretty sure TES6's combat will be very primitive again.

Not sure where I want the game to take place.

If I had to guess when it would be announced or released. I say 2020/2021

Someone mentioned the main character having a voice. I'd be ok with that. Though if the player can choose between playing a number of races, it would be interesting if Bethesda would hire x number of VA's to voice the main character

I must've missed that. You talking about Todd Howard?

I don't think player voice acting would work in TES. Recording thousands of lines twice for a male and a female character is one thing... but what are you going to do about Orcs, Argonians, Khajiit, Dunmer? Record them ten times? As much as I'd like to have "full" dialogue so that my character design actually matters, I doubt it'd be a good idea.

Besides, one problem with voice acting is that it may not fit at all the look of your character, or the nature of the character you had in mind. Sometimes I think it's better to leave that to your imagination.
