-It will probably be set in Hammerfell, you can check out my forum post on this. As much as I would like it to be in Akavir, Summerset, or some other very unique location, there's a lot of factors pointing it to being set in Hammerfell.

-I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY, HE/SHE WILL BE A PRISONER.

-It will almost surely be set shortly after the events of Skyrim.

-Due to the better hardware of the next gen consoles, I wouldn't be surprised if a DLC, (Or better yet, included in the game from the beginning.) added another province to explore.

-The Thalmor Story Arc will *hopefully* be wrapped up. (Come on Skyrim, why you no finish your own stories?)

-Probably no shouts.

-Dragons are a possibility.

-I wouldn't be shocked if they continued the very dark and gloomy graphic style from Skyrim. Although I don't like it, I'm not doubting it.

-It would be interesting if the player character wasn't some sort of prohescised hero. (In Skyrim you were the Dragonborn, in Morrowind you were the Neravine. In Oblivion, well I don't know. I guess you were kind of just a "normal" guy who saved a city. But the Emperor did say that he saw you in his dreams.)

-Ugh, I really hate this one. Vampires will continue to be very dumbed-down. 1. The date of release... Probably.

2. The location... Probably not, I personally believe it will be a game based in the Dominion (Elsweyr, Valenwood and Summerset)

3. The backstory... We can agree on that, it will be a Prisoner. There are very few other backstories which mean the person can be anyone, the other I have come up with is some random person on an expedition with absolutely any motive.

4. The time... Maybe, I think a hundred years after Skyrim personally.

5. The DLC... Maybe, maybe not, I have no opinion on this. Bigger DLC is a likely possibility though.

6. The Story... That's what all the games are leading up to, it is a follow-up of the Dragonborn prophecy and the Skyrim Civil War. Read the Towers.

7. The Shouts... I personally just what the old magic system back, no shouts.

8. Yeah probably. They will probably still be around, in smaller numbers though and will probably play the role of difficult end-of-dungeon bosses.

9. It will probably stick to gloomy like Morrowind and Skyrim as you said, I would like more vibrant colours though, as mods have shown me, you can be realistic and colourful at the same time.

10. I would like that, the Eternal Champion, th3
