>TES VI could go here
>But were getting Hammerfell again
Tragic, simply tragic

And modders won't fucking do anything new either. We have Morrowind in Skyrim, again. We have Skyrim and Cyrodiil in Morrowind, again. Fucking hell, the only time someone branched out and made a different province was that Elsweyr mod in Oblivion 10 years ago. Now we're getting kangs in TES, again. At this rate, we won't see Valenwood until 2060 when I can barely form the letter I standing.

bethesda will never go to the interesting lore places for fear of scaring away the normie audience

>>712906183 (OP)
They are timid after Starfield so are going back to well trod ground. They are scared to take chances and are playing it safe.
Sadly, for them, they are going to run into the woke backlash buzzsaw and the game is doomed before it starts.

>>712906919
Exactly this. They're treating Hammerfell like it's some kind of narrative security blanket. "Oh look, deserts and Redguards, that’s different, right?" Nah, it’s just another excuse to reuse sandy textures and have Dwemer ruins baked into every mountain again. If they had any guts they’d give us Black Marsh or a post-Vanethel Valenwood where the trees eat cities. But no, can't risk little Timmy being confused by the Hist or god forbid, unique mechanics. Game’s gonna be a mess of identity politics discourse and flat storytelling anyway. It’s over before it even boots up.

Why would they even go there, I’ve been seeing this suggestion for years now and it makes zero sense. Valenwood would just be cyrodil oblivion on steroids and they’d use it as an excuse to make 70% of the map empty or uninhabitable because muh forests. They should have done high rock since it atleast has interesting geography and all the castles + ruins.
>inb4 muh elsewyr and black marsh
have no interest in playing through the same palette swapped desert for 40 hours or some empty swamp shithole so that bethesda will use as an excuse to put minimal effort into map design.

>>712906183 (OP)
>dense elven forest with primitive elf hippies
how is this a good setting for an entire game?

>>712906183 (OP)
This place is expansion material at best. Small adventure of meeting green pact people and defeating some fey-like threat in the woods a la bloodmoon.

morrowind was an abberation. elder scrolls has always been a low-fantasy series with little strange or mystic elements at all. arena, daggerfall, oblivion, skyrim - all of them human centric games drawing mostly from typical fantasy. i, too, would like a location that feels stranger and more "out there", such as black marsh and summerset isles. but to me it seems clear that bethesda wants more low fantasy, again.

>>712906183 (OP)
IKR? i would have much preferred Morrowind again.

>>712906183 (OP)
Black Marsh would be kino

>>712906183 (OP)
Hammerfell seems cooler

You WILL save Niggerwood chud, it’s the mandatory main story to unlock the L1 power button

>>712908581
Im still holding out hope that the game will take place in Hammerfell AND High Rock, although i know it probably wont happen

I want black marsh. It would basically be high fantasy STALKER.

The Elder Scrolls died the minute Uriel Septim VII lost his life. He was the protagonist of the entire franchise, so any game that happens after that is shit and cannot be considered mainline.
Games such as Redguard, which happens at the beginning of the Third Era, were aptly titled, not as mainline, but spin-offs (An Elder Scrolls Adventure).
A game happening after its main character's death is doomed for disaster. Which is why both Oblivion and Skyrim were so abundant with mediocrity.

>>712909552
Idk, I think they’ll honestly just make it 60% mountains and spam dwemer caves everywhere like that one anon said.

>>712909561
I can see what you probably are picturing but I sincerely doubt slopthesda has the care or desire to make something complex with the black marsh map.

>>712909561
It'd be a great spinoff in the Redguard/Battlespire vein, but Black Marsh is s shithole beyond mortal comprehension.

>>712910043
>I sincerely doubt slopthesda has the care or desire to make something complex with the black marsh map.
I know, but I can still dream

>>712909561
>>712910298
Black marsh is toxic to non Argonians, but Bethesda would probably recon that

>>712910376
To make it realistic (non-kino) just make it mostly take place around the edges of black wood and southern Morrowind. You would then periodically need to venture into the deep marshes via some kind of plot device where the tone and atmosphere make a stark shift.

If they weren't cowards, they would disable fast travel while in the marshes so that getting in an out is an adventure in itself.

>>712906183 (OP)
TES is a dead IP, we will NEVER get any of the interesting provinces after Morrowind
You're going to have to either hope someone finally gets inspired to make a Morrowind mod worth playing or just settle for mods for other games like CK3
talking about "TES VI" like it will ever actually matter or contribute to the IP at this point is fucking deranged

>>712908931
>empty space with no real fast travel system that's filled with nothing
Rdr2 sold 74 million copies. Try making the game good? Idk todd, youre fucked.

>>712911856
I play ESO my standards are abysmal
I just pay enough attention to both BGS and ZOS and the things they put out to know full well that TES6 will suck
it is not a coincidence that Todd and Emil allowed ESO to create a new Daedric Prince that can defy all the rules of the setting and send you to alternate multiverse dimensions at will immediately after releasing Starfield which was based entirely around their new NG+ method, just like it was not a coincidence that Hearthfire led into Fallout 4 settlements that led into Starfield colonies
the "evolution" of their games are very obvious, especially considering they always use the same engine

Good. I fucking hate Elves.

>>712911223
but what's the appeal with valenwood? seriously.

>>712909270
They made Morrowind at a time when their studio and series wasn't as established and they were able to take risks. Now that they're one of the biggest developers in the world it's almost impossible for them to make anything other than committee-approved mass appeal slop. I really wish they would license smaller studios to make ES spinoff games like they've done with fallout since that's literally the only chance we have of getting a good ES game ever again.

>>712907264
I see no scenario in which a game set in hammer-fell doesn’t suffer from woke backlash. People have nigger fatigue and will be speculating why they did hammerfell again when every mainline game is supposed to be a new province. It’s not even a unique premise anymore:AC origins and mirage already beat them to the punch when it comes to desert bullshit.

However I think there’s a small chance it’s in valenwood or the summerset isles- the civil war quest line hinted at big happenings going on there so maybe they’ll be smart and do something unique instead of nigger-desert land

>>712910298
Filthy overgrown lizards had to wait until morrowind was crippled by a fucking volcano to invade because they couldn’t have hoped to compete with Dunmer warriors or mages

>>712909561
>>712910376
It could similar to the original Morrowind, the center has red mountain and is really dangerous but anyone but the end game player.

>>712912860
according to Obsidian they wanted to do both TES and more Fallout spin-offs similar to NV and Bethesda refused
Todd might actually still be seething about the popularity of New Vegas compared to FO3/4

just play ESO bro. you'll get your fill of Valenwood and will never want to go back there ever again

>>712906183 (OP)
Should be Summerset instead, with Valenwood and/or Elsweyr as DLC

>>712912978
Wrong. Reguard were always based blacks and made in-universe, hailing from their own detailed culture and having a place in the world. Not like the non-sensical "this isolated elven civ has jus random asian elves and blacks and whites with zero mixing" crap we've seen for many years now. Bethesda won't cancel development to change setting out of some fear that Asmongold will make a video about it. You know this.

>>712913451
>just play the watered down normieslop version of the provinces
No thank you

>>712913167

>DUMBmer society completely collapses

dark hands typed this

>>712908931
My first thought exactly. Lore accurate Bosmer seem insufferable and their civilization retarded. I have zero interest in a whole assed game set there. Maybe a mod adventure or something.

>>712913560
Bold of you to assume they won’t rings-of-power the franchise and make a bunch of mixed race elves and Redguards.

>>712913653
>*THE HIST fend them off so well
When the fuck are you lizardniggers gonna stop jerking off to scaly porn and actually learn something about your favorite race's lore for once lol argonians are worthless without their trees' aid

bickering about their choice to set one game here or there is missing the point. their 20 year long release cycle is a horrendous way to flesh out a fantasy world. going to one provence over another shouldn't feel like you've locked yourself into a major career life pathway.

>>712913560
>>712914086
there is a mixed race Imperial/Redguard in ESO already, they're canon n'wahs

Are there any good mods for exploring the non-normalfag provinces?

>>712913653
>brags about Argonians invading oblivion, the very thing you do with the imperial legion IN Oblivion.

Also
>no one else corroborates that Argonians invaded oblivion

>Nigger fatigue
Todd might change it

>>712914086
mixed? you mean to say that the black Legolas in RoP is actually a half-elf of a haradrim and a mirkwood white complexion elf? If that's the case they're a lot more based than I thought. I thought they had literally just made random elves, men and dwarves black with zero explanation why they look like that and why if there at one point was some immigration of darker complexion peoples why they haven't just mixed together into something else at this point, ie netflix witcher shit

>>712914226
Imperial/redguard mixed makes sense though.

>>712908931
With modern lore? It's not. With 3rd era lore it'd be a banger.

>multiple cultures including relentlessly civilized gorillas that give all the elves aneurysms
>cities grown in the canopies of walking trees

>Tower of Anumaril

>Bethesda in 2025
The location doesn't matter, you will get saarfield with swords and magic.

>>712914998
He’s not mixed- he’s just a black wood elf. That’s what I was alluding to- I would t be surprised if they make nords with black skin and redguard features but explicitly specify they aren’t mixed

>we'll never find out what happened to the Ayleids after they fled to Valenwood

Bethesda is making shit games now so I'm glad they won't touch any of the interesting provinces. With any luck tes7 will come out before I'm 50 and t*dd will be long retired so it has a chance to be half decent

>>712915642
They're only the 4th elf race to get genocided

>>712915416
If they do it with the Mer we've truly fallen. Having imperials with regduard, nord, or breton heritage just makes sense though. The risk is that they don't make them exceptions, instead making the majority mixed which would suck.

>>712915882
They managed to rape enough Cyrodillic slave women to give the Imperials good magic proficiency.

>>712915642
explained in ESO
they were assimilated into the Bosmer, there are "we wuz Ayleids" Bosmers

Didn't you faggots play TES Online?
Valenwood, Blackmarsh, and all those other things weren't that interesting.
>But that was just how they did it for the MMO. Think of how awesome it'd be if they
How do you think current Bethesda will make it?

>>712906183 (OP)
Hammerfell seems cool though. Varied biomes and environments, cities, swordsinging, dwemer ruins beneath the sands. Shit would be kino.

>>712908581
I wouldn't trust Bethesda at any point in their tenure to make a game centered around Black Marsh or Valenwood that's actually good and appropriately bizarre and alien

>>712906183 (OP)

>>712906183 (OP)
Hammerfell is gonna be gigakino because it'll have sword singers, a nation independent of the Empire and Thalmor influence, and some middle eastern inspired culture. Its a shame that discussion about it will be impossible because redguards are brown and that triggers a certain demographic

>Pyramid raiding
>Sword singing
>Pirates
I dont give a fuck that redguards are brown hammerfell will be fun. I want to beat the shit out of mummies and djinns.

>>712906183 (OP)
Tamrielic culture is centered around Redguards. They have holidays for Redguards. They killed hundreds of thousands of Nords to free Redguards. They listen to Redguard tavern music. They elect Redguards as their jarls and lords. They dress and act like Redguards. They draw the entirety of their modern culture from Redguards. They cast sassy conjuration spells summoning Redguards. They watch arena fights in worship of Redguards swinging curved swords. When you say "Talos" they're not thinking of the Hero-god of Mankind. They're thinking of the Yokudan pantheon. Their holds are completely overrun with Redguards. Their guard force is disproportionately filled with Redguards and the Empire's military is filled entirely with Redguards. Their black soul gems are filled with Redguards and their folk song charts are topped by Redguards. Their men sit around watching Redguards steal their sweetrolls while their women sit around watching Redguard master One Handed in front of them. They worship Redguards like the Ebony Warrior while attacking the Nords who actually built their country before Redguards took over. They will tell you how much they hate Redguards and how Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic and they are just pretending to love Redguards but the evidence speaks for itself in that Tamriel has always been and will be a continent of Redguards loving Redguards.

Redguards aren't based on niggers. They aren't even based on muslims. They are based on the BASED ancient Persians. It's fucking Cyrus the Great, the first man to conquer Babylon. It's King Darius, who owned the ancient world before the Romans. It's Xerxes, the one who marched onto Greece with millions of soldiers; who dried rivers by drinking the water; who lost the war against the Hellenic people that had so little power to stop them. These great Persians are the ones who have inspired the Redguards. Not some filthy sub-Saharan baboons.

Idk anything about the cities. That's all I got. Mite be cool. Would def be cooler than fucking hammerfell which will be like solitude but BIG. Lame.

The reach was truly the gayest part of skycringe. Glad it will have its own dedicated game.
