I hear you. To hell with that Fischer Price fantasyland. I swear that game was inspired more by Fable and that sort of lame genre stuff than any of their own material.

Personally, I REALLY want a new Elder Scrolls game, but where the hell are they going to set it? With any luck, it'll be in Atmora... thousands of cookies await those who know what Atmora is. You have to be a diehard TES fan, trust me.
Atmora is long-dead and frozen. That's why the Nords came south after killing all their mer.

It's probably Skyrim at this point, though. I would have vastly preferred Elsweyr or Hammerfell. Part of what made Morrowind great was that it used real world human cultures for inspiration in a way that went deeper that two bit D&D ethnic stereotypes. But you just know the current dev team is going to make the next game a viking fest. The kids will love it.


Here are your cookies... And yes, Skyrim could be like Bloodmoon on steroids. That'd be awesome.

Actually, they should set TES5 in the same time as Morrowind and have a storyline that incorporates what happened in Bloodmoon...

Nothing of particular importance (or, in my opinion, interest) happened in Bloodmoon. Nothing compared to Tribunal and Shivering Isles, anyhow.

I'm already itching for a new Fallout, I dunno I guess I just like the post-apocolyptic setting over generic fantasy land.
Oblivion, what have you done?

I'm inclined to believe the rumor, 'cause it looks just enough like a videogame to not be a photo. (On the other hand, I can't quite imagine how this can render on a modern console, so...)
Oh please let this NOT be the new ES game! I just bought a new video card, and I don't think even it will be able to handle that! Also, if they are putting that much work into making a game look that good, how the hell are they going to have time and budget to fill a game like that with actual, meaningful content to the standard we expect from ES games?

EDIT: I'm looking at the picture again, and I'm starting to believe it's a normal photo with some post processing effects on it. It DOES look like a game, but the fine details are too intact to be even from a Pixar movie or a Blizzard cutscene.

They will likely make another Fallout game beforehand, since the approach they seem to be taking with that is to chuck them out as quickly as possible to feel a profitable audience. Elder Scrolls games take longer to make. With that in mind, I'd like to see TES V first.

Are you kidding me? The Raven Rock storyline was AWESOME!
Tribunal... well, it's pretty good, but it takes ages to get a character powerful enough to take it on. Tribunal is by far the hardest part of Morrowind... and Oblivion too, I suppose.

Elder Scrolls, easily. Far more interesting to me, though I never really got into Oblivion I tired of Fallout 3 before I left the hole-in-the-ground. I've tried it again since and managed to finish it once, but it was rarely entertaining.

As an Oblivion fan, I'll probably hate Elder Scrolls V just as much as Morrowind fans commonly hate Oblivion. I suspect that some people are fans of the Elder Scrolls as a whole, but many are only fans of 1 specific game - this explains the hate against Oblivion for being too unlike Morrowind, and vice versa. As a fan of Oblivion but not of Morrowind, I'm worried about Elder Scrolls 5 not matching my tastes.

That said, though: Elder Scrolls 5 is certainly more likely than Fallout 4 in the near future, but it's not a lock. Fallout 4 might be coming along soon, but they haven't put out an Elder Scrolls game in 4 years.

I spoke to Bethesda's head of marketing in person, and he mentioned this under-wraps project of theirs. I asked him, "It's Elder Scrolls 5, isn't it?" Sadly, my ploy failed to cause him to spill the beans. Law and Order fails me yet again.

I don't disagree that Raven Rock was awesome.

But not particularly for its story. And it had little significance for the outside world. In fact, it fell right apart by the time of the Oblivion Crisis.

So Bloodmoon was a good expansion (minus the blander design that was a prelude to TES IV), but the setting doesn't need revisiting. Some nice in-game books about the Skaal's uprising are definitely in order, however.

I would like to see a new Elder Scrolls game take place in the Nord homeland of Skyrim. I have heard rumors though that the next game may take place in Hammerfell.

No credible rumors I've heard. Actual evidence points to Skyrim. See my earlier post.

May the devs find the creativity to create something unique and momentarily forget that Norway and pointy helmets always sell well.

Not that it matters, but Minecraft most definitely has a larger game world...

I vote Elder Scrolls, never really sunk my teeth into one before, but I'd be willing to give it a next gen go after Fallout 3.

Guarentee.

It's just been edited around a bit, looks like GIMP.

Word to the wise, start with Morrowind. It gives the best first impression.

I would love to see the next Elder Scrolls game take place in Skyrim. I think it is mainly due to the fact that I love the cold.

Yeah, but lighting engines sure don't like all the snow. :p

On the one hand the world looks flat and barren because of the impossibility or making the ground itself a deforming object, while the vegetation you do have is either coniferous or taxing on your PC because of the lack of leaves.

But luckily Skyrim has temperate summers anyway.
