I wanted to start this discusion because i feel as though, when it comes to Elder Scrolls 6, everyone is always arguing about Skyrim's effect on the uppcoming game (the civil war, the emporor's assasination, the Dawnguard questline, the fate of Paarthanax, ect). There's nothing wrong with that, but i want to hear people's ideas on how the game will play out. For instance, what do you want the main quest to be? Who do you want the villan to be? would you improve any of the skills systems? Would you add more magic? Would you add another guild? Where do you want it to take place? If you want to talk about how much you hate the empire and would absolutally hate to see them win the civil war or vice versa, than please do so on the other TES 6 discussion page.

Here are my personal hopes and assumptions on the subject of TES 6.

1) The game will take place on either the Sumurset isles or in Valenwood. I've figured this out through process of elimination (though i could be wrong). Skyrim and Cyrodiil are completaly out of the question, since they've alreaghty been explorable, needless to say, in Skyrim and Oblivion. Morrawind is deffinatly out because we've alreaghty had a game called Morrawind, and because it's now a barron volcanic hellhole (more so than usual) due to the eruaption of Red Mountain in the 4th era. Black Marsh can also be ruled out. I personally really like the Argonians, but Black Marsh is just too boring and ugly to be a worthy succesor to Skyrim. Any chance of High Rock and Hammerfell being featured looks bleak since we've alreaghty seen them in Daggerfall, but it's not impossable. I know most of the community want the next game to take place in Hammerfell, but i dunno. It doesn't seem that interesting to me. As for Elswyr, probably not. Some Bethesda person did say Elswhere (which is how Elswyr is supposed to be pronounced) in some press conforance or something, but i think it's no more than an exadurated coincidence. I don't really like the Kajiit either. Their ugly and wierd. So yah, from what i can calculate, if TES 6 does take place on Tamriel at all, it will take place in either Sumurset, Valenwood, or both. My personal fave is Sumurset though. It's a really cool location, with lots of warm beaches and jungles and tropical rainforrests and sexy elves and stuff. The one problem that i have with Sumurset is the Thalmor, which comes as a suprise to nobody. I HAAAAATE them! Although i guess Bethesda could make it so that the 2nd great war has alreaghty been fought and that the winners have invaded the isles, resulting in the Thalmor being scattered and disorgenized, like the forswarn in Skyrim.

2) The main plot will involve the retern of Alduin, possably in a new form or possably as a ghost of his old form. It's been hinted in multable seorces in Skyrim that the world eater will retern, possably in the next game. It makes sense too. You can't really kill Alduin. Weather it's with an elder scroll or in open combat, you can only temporeraly banish him from Nirn. Eventually he'll just come back with another ugly dragon army and try to destroy the universe again. It shouldn't be a repeat of the plot of Skyrim though, that would be stupid. If i'm correct about my theory that TES 6 will be set in Sumurset or Valenwood, than the hero could be the re - incarnation of some powerfull Altmer mage. Than they can get help from the blades, the Psijic order and or the Moth Priests in order to find some sort of ancient dawn magic. You can then use it to crete an alternate demension in which to imprison him for all time. Or maybe the player can have a vision of Snt. Alyssia or maybe Talos or Akatosh, who tell them how to destroy Alduin forever.

3) I want another civil war scennario. What about a war between Valenwood and the isles. Valenwood will have been taken over by the winners of the 2nd great war (the empire or the stormcloaks), while the Thalmor regeme in Sumurset has been overthrown by a third party faction. Maybe this faction would want to make the dominion a democratic government, since the Thalmor opressed them so much in the past. I like this idea a lot personally. There haven't been any democratic governments in the Elder Scrolls universe so far, so it would be cool to see how the Altmer supporters think that it's the best idea ever while the Bosmur supporters think that it will result in some sort of anarchy. Or perhaps there could be a three way conflict. What if the Meomer of Pyandonia or the Sload of Thras tried to take over Tamriel by invading it through the south west. Or even the Akaviri could invade from there. I mean we know that the Tsaesci kingdom is east of Tamriel, but Tang Mo and Ka Po Tun are probably on the eastern side of the continent and therefore could attack Tamriel from he west.

4) The game series needs more magic. More veriaties of distructive spells in the Distruction school, instead of just the boring old fire frost and lightning baced spells. More creatures and Daedra to conjure in Conjuration. More spells in general for Alteration and Restoration (and they need to get rid of the magical bound weapons, they're useless). And finnaly, way more Illusion stuff. They could be so creative with illusion magic, but they arn't. They could make spells so that it would make you appear to be flying or so that you appear to be turning into a vampire, but you arn't. They could have a spell that tricks MPCs into thinking they're a chicken. You could have spells that could make people fall madly in love with you reguardless of their gender (that would be hillarious). There are so many possabilities of usefull and awsome spells they could use with this school, but they don't. Also, one finnal note bethesda, PLEASE BRING BACK SPELLMAKING!, oh and also no more staffs, they suck.

Anyway, just let me know what you think of these assumptions. Again, this is all just my opinion of what may happen, so you guys can be entitled to your own opinions too.
