Summerset Isle

Atleast I hope...

Two provinces, or more than two, or incomplete ones (like a bit of mainland morrowind, the Black Marsh and a bit of Elswyr), along the southern coast of Tamriel.

Valenwood i hope, with the Havok engine Bethesda could make moving trees a reality

Except the Falinesti stopped moving.

jale, wouldnt it piss you off to br walking in morrowind but get cut off. its more frusterating to just be stopped in the middle of nowhere than get stopped at a political border that has a meaning. and how would they connect Black Marsh to Elswyr without including a frusteratingly samll bit of Cyrodiil. Even if they did this it would mean including Leyawiin, and then there still would be no land brdge.

Summerset Isle. Another island with no inviso-walls to limit area.

Summerset Isle.

Let's climb the chrystal tower!

Or is it adamantine? I forgot...

Arondil Rethan · Post by **Arondil Rethan** » Thu May 11, 2006 5:46 am

Isn't Adamantine Tower somewhere in High Rock?

And this poll misses the possibility, that ES 5 might not be in Tamriel at all

Then where else? Not Oblivion again, I'm not buying it if... oh wait, Oblivion is closed

Middle-Earth?

Akavir would be awezoom...

It would be so awesome if TES V was in Akavir! You could establish a Tamrielic settlement or something like that. Wouldn't TES in Akavir be cool?

w00t!

Post by **Haplo** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 8:34 pm

Hammerfell or High Rock

btw, i want beth to do HF when im working there

I doubt they would go Iliac again. I reckon SI is safest bet.

Nomadic1 · Post by **Nomadic1** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 11:42 am

Sumerset Isles is the safest bet. But IMO Skyrim is the other real possibility.

They can't do Valenwood since it would murder PCs. And in Argonia and Elsweyr they would be so dull by environment that they would need real gripping lore and quests to get anyone to play it (and if Oblivion taught BS anything, they can't do that).

Elsweyr? Dull? My word!

Gez · Post by **Gez** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 4:05 pm

I'd hate it if it was on Akavir or Yokuda. If it's not on Tamriel, it's not an Elder Scrolls role-playing game. It's a spin-off, like Battlespire.

Yes, it means that even Kirkbride's dream-game of the Tamrielic colonization of Secunda would be a mere spin-off.

As for where the next game will take place. I don't buy the argument that "they've covered it before so they can't do it now". Summerset Isle is a good candidate for many reasons, but I wouldn't consider it impossible that TES 5 could be placed once again in Morrowind, for example.

If there was such a law, then that would have leave them with only two choices: the Summerset Isles and Skyrim. High Rock, Hammerfell, and Morrowind would be covered by Daggerfall, Redguard, and Morrowind. Valenwood and Black Marsh would require something much better than Speedtree, I can see them for TES 6, but not for TES 5. Black Marsh and Elsweyr are not possible for another reason: furries. On the sixteen forms of Khajiit, 10 are playable, the "standard" and "raht" versions of the Cathay, Dagi, Ohmes, Suthay, and Tojay. The Argonians are likewise varied, though there's less lore about their variants.

I dont think that Beth would think twice about ignoring any lore that gets in the way. If they want to set it there- they might just pretend that there never were any other forms of Khajit.

or that they were all transformed when tiber conquered tamriel

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 6:04 pm

If they were going to go Elsweyr then they would be forced to do SOMETHING about the whole breed thing, and I bet they would come up with a system where you just make your Khjaiit and then it tells you what kind of Khajiit yours is...

In terms of ESF demand (the biggst factor for them, sadly

), Black Marsh seems most likely. If done right, it could kick an unimagineable amount of ass. If done wrong, it will ruin the series forever.

I think the neveraine won't exist in TES V. Neitehr will star signs (they are too poncy for a mainstream gamer) and magika will be turned into bullet time.

We will play a father and husband, who's family gets killed, by a huge lava dude. You go to kill him, and pick up several Akaviri Uzi's and Yokudan M4's along teh way. And go kick some daemon ass. (Note the term Daedra was too complicated for mainstream gamers, but to make them feel clever, they add an 'E'.) As he travel throguh the harsh Akiviri Urban landscape, to meet the Main Gangsta.

Aka MG.

Aka huge lava dude.

somewhere i heard that TES: V is going to be multiplayer. i think it was from some off-branch bethesda site. i don't know, either way, IT'S GONNA BE SWEET!

the downside is that there will be the "KNOW-IT-ALL" snob who calls new players "noobs" just before he or she kills them. I always found it retarded when I have to deal with this.

Vernon · Post by **Vernon** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 1:11 am

skittles: the same was said about TES 4 - people said it wouldn't happen back then and I can't see it happening with TES 5. There is enough nasty multiplayer shit (WoW, EQ 1&2, etc) out there without ruining the reputable ES franchise. Maybe they could include a LAN function, but I think that would be impractical. Bethesda just aren't about MMOs. If Beth did do an MMO, I imagine they would either make it a separate franchise (Elder Scrolls Online as opposed to Elder Scrolls or Elder Scrolls Adventures, for example) or outsource the development. But that is even more speculative.

Of course, all of this discussion assumes that there will be a TES 5. Any slight suggestion of that from Bethesda yet? I'm pretty excited about Fallout 3 - how nice is that going to be!

They said they were splitting into three groups: Fallout 3, Oht expansions (which turned out to be those mods), and a TES V group.

Tyrion · Post by **Tyrion** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 2:11 am

Honestly? Bethesda isn't going to do an expansion?

Thankfully I joined TR, but wow. Thats quite a shame.

Sadly, Bethesda's attempt at shooting for a mainstream audience was a big success. Considering all the review sites and the G4 awards sucking their metaphorical cocks, I doubt they would have a change of heart and start making the ES series geared towards us again. Though this may be pessimistic, I believe our days of gaining originality and depth from Bethesda are over.

On an on-topic sort of note: TES V could very likely take place in Valenwood. The pocket guide (Page 87, last paragraph) says that Falinesti has stopped "walking." This would allow BS to make another game in a LOTR style forest (ub3r c00lz0rz). Furthermore, the guide also mentions (forgot what page) a bunch of LOTR-based creatures as the natural fauna of VW, which would of course spark Beth's interest

Hard for me to vote on which one... aside from a good story and good gameplay, I want an interesting environment to play in. In Morrowind, there was a volcano in the centre of an ash-covered wasteland on the island. You guys may have thought it somewhat dull, but I loved the feel of the game completely.

In Oblivion, there were (I mean.... are) forests and hillside to gawk at (though too few animals to kill).

So, since I know nothing about what the other provinces are like, I cannot cast my vote. Please, someone enlighten me.

Bethesda doesn't know anything about gameplay and balance. It was borked in Arena, it was borked in Daggerfall even more, it was still completely borked in Morrowind, and it was borked out of its mind in Oblivion.

In multiplayer, and even more in massively multiplayer, that's a death sentence.

skittles · Post by **skittles** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 4:44 pm

yeah, your right. bethesda would never put a MMORPG out on the market because they don't have the $$$ nor the employee morale to make one.
