The Elder Scrolls VI

According to a recent interview with Pete Hines published by Spanish outlet Vandal, The Elder Scrolls VI is "in development, but it's in early development." You can read an article containing English translations of the interview's highlights from TechRadar.

"Let’s see, over time, but [The Elder Scrolls VI will be released] in years to come. […] We have made the focus of everything at all of our studios making [Starfield] the best it can possibly be. And yes, people are working on The Elder Scrolls 6, but this is what the studio is focusing on. So no, no time soon are you going to be hearing anything at all about The Elder Scrolls 6 […] It's in development, but it's in early development."

"Years" (plural) means no sooner than 2025, and probably at least 2026 or 2027. In the meantime, I'm interested to see how Starfield turns out.

Yup, it's been half a decade since Bethesda "announced" The Elder Scrolls VI. Possibly done as a way to get ahead of the potential negativity that would surround Fallout 76, or just to quell the sheer amount of people wondering where the next Elder Scrolls was, it's only become clearer over the years, that nothing of any worth has happened with this instalment just yet. Bethesda's own Todd Howard routinely updates fans with just how much is yet to happen, noting that Starfield needs to essentially "get out of the way" first, before full development on TES VI can take place. Elder Scrolls VI was also announced long before Microsoft's takeover of Zenimax, forcing a level of "Xbox first-party representation" on Bethesda's output that they likely never factored in beforehand. For now, and as has been the case since 2018, we have a teaser trailer, a vague idea of which part of Tamriel this could take place in, and nothing else.

Say your opinion. I think remake of Daggerfall should also fine. Real remake not just graphics.

Previously: The Elder Council have sent you the dragon(Backstory: Your backstory is you have been a very successful spy, assassin, agent, etc for the Elder Council thus the name the dragon ) to hunt down a warrior follower of the evil and fallen wizard named Tygren, Aachen (Sorry about the non TES or wizard sounding name). You first arrive at a small outpost for the Imperials.

You walk into the outpost and see the captain(commander) Thalleous talking to a squad until he notices you and says that the squad is dismissed. Thalleous then talks you saying that outpost will be your base of operations. He tells you to go into your quarters. You walk into the quarters and see on the left a bed in the corner, a chest on the end of the bed containing a full set of steel armor, steel sword, and a steel shield. On the right is a chair and table on it(the table) is a map, some healing potions,strength potions, stamina potions, magic potions ,and some food. The right also is a weapons rack that can hold 4 weapons and 2 shields.

I personally think that the plot should be about the sudden disappearance of LDB. (you can tell me what other ones in the comments:))

The Elder council had heard that Skyrim was attacked by dragons and that the LDB was present and dealt swiftly with the threat. They then send you going under the code name, The phoenix(or dragon you choose), to find him cause the Elder Council are starting to get worried about the person who defeated Alduin disappeared. Normally The Council decided to deal with this by sending operatives everywhere over Tamriel. (I'LL edit soon!)

This is just another of several wishlists on this page, but it will appear every week or so. Please tell me your ideas, wants/wishes, and "needs" for The Elder Scrolls: VI: Redfall. It can be from mechanics, to combat, to crafting, to anything. Just make sure it is reasonable, and it has at least some explanation to your expectations.

I will list mine in the comments.

My vote goes to Mick Gordon.

Four questions.

1. Who or what do you think will be the next villain of the next game?

2. Who would you want it to be & how should It play out?

3. What other villains would you be interested in seeing & what unique spins on gameplay would you like to see?

4. What do you not want to see? Also include which province you prefer.

I will go first.

1. I think it will likely be the Thalmor. If it’s in High Rock we may have an adamantine tower plot on our hands and them trying to unmake reality. So original!

2. But I would prefer a main quest sort of like Fallout 4 where you can decide between four factions, in this case the Crowns, Forebears, Empire, and Thalmor, and the villain is either the Emperor, or Leader of the Dominion depending on who you side with. Which would add replay value to the game. Assuming the game is in Hammerfell.

3. However, I also have an alternate idea if they decide to keep it a god. Boethiah would be interesting imo. Perhaps she’s planning to take over Nirn but not through gates or invasion. Instead she’s using her worshippers as politicians to take over Tamriel’s courts and monarchy and slowly bringing things over to a system of government where she receives more power and worship. (Looks at China). And you have to play the game by using your speech craft, status, side quests to debate with the politicians to avoid Boethiah gaining power. Your race will have an effect as well. And what guilds you join too. Thalmor could be involved too since Naarifin of the Dominion supposedly worships Boethiah.

4. What I don’t want to see is us being the “Hoonding” and learning “Sword Singing” to fulfill our destiny to defeat “Generic World Ending Ancient Meanie Bo Beanie” in a linear questline with no player choice to “pReSErvE LoRE & CAnOn.” As for provinces, Hammerfell or Summerset or Valenwood would all be sick. But it’s probably Hammerfell.

In your opinion, which existing factions should return? How about new factions? Maybe the Alik’r (if it’s in Hammerfell)? Any ideas?

In the Official Starfield Teaser Trailer I saw a map of the Iliac Bay Region from Tamriel. Does this mean that’s where it’s going to take place now or..?

If TES mimics world history in any way -- even vaguely, then I think it might be fair to say that the Imperial/Elven pantheon will fade away, and a stronger belief in the "All-Maker"/Anui-El/Whatever the prevalent human version of one God would be. I'm thinking, by the time of TES 6, whether it is set in High Rock or not, could see the kingdoms of High Rock come together and become the seat of a new Empire, this time managing to take the whole of Tamriel, maybe even expanding into new continents. This would make the speculation about pirates being prevalent in the new game more plausible, seeing as they would be crossing oceans.

Anyway, this is just some fun speculation. It'll be fun to see what the future holds.

So we now know when starfield is going to be released. Which means we can get a much better idea when our beloved elder scrolls VI is going to be released. Has anyone noticed it’s roughly three to four years between each big title of Bethesda’s?

Morrowind-2002Oblivion-2005 fallout 3-200& Skyrim-2011 fallout4-2015 fallout 76-2018 starfield-2022 TESVI will most likely be 2025-2026.

Okay so I’ve gotten into Altmer culture recently and I have been using this wiki to look into it more. I discovered something interesting about Alinor/Summerset and I’m wondering if it may impact the future of the games

We all know that the Altmer and Thalmor rule Alinor, the Thalmor are ruthless and cruel to the other races of Tamriel and control basically most of southern Tamriel. However, I’ve discovered a quote which may or may not have an impact on the future of the Archipelago.

”My prophet says Summerset Isle is doomed to sink beneath the ocean. He did not specify when, but it sounded like soon” -Bartender Rumor in TES: Arena

This quote is from Arena so I don’t know how useful it is seeing as it’s from an early TES game but it may have an impact on Alinor’s future. I know Arena happened several hundred years before Skyrim and obviously Alinor hasn’t sank yet but what if the events of TES: 6 or even potentially TES: 7 would have something to do with the islands sinking.

We all know or believe that the Thalmor desire to destroy the Empire or even humanity as a whole but humanity has always persevered against the Elves. What if maybe humanity finally has enough and uses something to sink Alinor or maybe even some other deity or natural cause destroys it?

Lets also not forget that the Redguards hate the Empire and the Thalmor who’ve been trying to conquer Hammerfell for years are from Yokuda, a continent that was west of Tamriel which “mysteriously sank into the sea”. This raises some suspicion seeing as TES: 6 is going to take place in Hammerfell and the Redguards’ last homeland mysteriously sank beneath the ocean. Who’s to say that some Redguards in Hammerfell’s governance don’t know what really caused it to sink? What if the Redguards caused it by accident and then intentionally use it against the Thalmor? Maybe the Hero of TES: 6 gets to choose Alinor’s fate? Who knows? My theory for now is that TES: 6 has to do with the Redguards vs Thalmor and the Redguards do something to Alinor as revenge for the Thalmor assaulting Hammerfell

It really isn't

Morrowind(The Elder Scrolls III) Was announced shortly after Daggerfall(The Elder Scrolls II) was released, in 1996, in Battlespire's manual, they said "This isn't Morrowind, be patient." Or something along those lines, a year later, there was Redguard, which said something similar. Morrowind was finally released in 2002, 6 years after it was confirmed. Elder Scrolls VI is kinda similar to this, except they seem to be keeping stuff from us, for whatever reason. So my theory is, that Starfield will be released soon, and TES VI will be released in 2024, 6 years after it was announced at E3 2018, I know it's a pain, but be lucky we aren't Fallout fans, which Fallout 5 hasn't even been confirmed yet.

I believe that in TES VI Skyrim will be under imperial control because the empire sent troops to the province and reunified skyrim but that will be the only info we get.

Thalmor=Nazis (Even I am sceptical about this one.)
