Elder Scrolls VI

Good question.

I think I read it in a tweet of their's, but I don't know how long ago that tweet was.

Anyway, hopefully it's still going strong, but yeah, any changes would be more like a "change in plans" than anything.

How is that even a question? The people want it to be in Elsweyr. Khajit demand it. Is time this shitty anterpocenty thing finally comes to an end.

So it looks like ES VI is still in pre-production...

PC Gamer: Bethesda's Starfield 'is playable,' Elder Scrolls 6 is in 'pre-production' says Todd Howard

"I would say Elder Scrolls 6 is in pre-production, and Starfield is in production. It's a game we've been making for awhile," Howard said. "Starfield is playable. Elder Scrolls 6, not in that way yet."

Keighley mentioned that several years ago, Howard said the technology didn't yet exist for the next Elder Scrolls he wanted to make. Is that technology ready now? "It's getting closer," he said with a laugh. "I don't want to spoil anything yet. I think the teasers we put out are announcing the game, and ones of tone. How does the game feel? Hints at where it's set, for both Starfield and Elder Scrolls set. Even for us, though, redoing that music and putting it up there, even we get goosebumpy. We can't wait to have everybody be able to play this game. But that's us, too. We want to play it."

Assuming that that little teaser does tell us anything about a game that seems to be still in very early pre-production, what does that landscape look like?
I am thinking High Rock? I wouldn't mind a setting in High Rock and Hammerfell at all. Reguards are my go-to race in TES games and seeing their homeland in an SP TES would be cool. And with those Breton wizards and whatnot, I am sure High Rock would have some pretty far out contraptions and weird magic going on. I could see cool stuff happeneing in a setting like that.

Spiffy Khajit armour?! I knew you furless envy our coats but going for our skins? Well, good luck with that cos we NEVER stand out! *melts into the shadow*

True. Except I'd probably exclude Elseweir and the Summerset Isles as well. If it were one of those two, they would have definitely chosen a weird scenery. Not saying it couldn't be in there but it's not what I'd picture as representative for those provinces. But let's wait and see. They might not even have made a final decision on the location yet and that's why that teaser is fairly generic.

So what will be the popular phrase heard in the game. "I use to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the elbow or I was stabbed in the ……."

They should just do their very best, but perhaps not release on an Elder Scrolls year. Like, if E3 2021 has TESVI release later that year, but DA4 already had late 2021 stated --- I don't think many would blame (they may mock, but not blame) Bioware for changing DA4 to early 2022, or hell, even giving Bioware more time to upstage the competition through an extended time to late 2022.

*purrs*

One of the theories of why Beth kept saying the technology wasn’t there yet was that we were going to a region with a complicated environment (hence people really hyping valenwood or argonia). If that fly over was really indicative of the terrain/ecosystem of the region, it looked pretty simple and generic.

So maybe the technical depmands are more from story or mechanics.

I have a feeling that Bethesda made this trailer to get people off their backs.
