@@justinb864 They are going extremely slow! They have taken 8 years to develop and release Starfield which had as many real (non radiant) Quests as Skyrim, while having 4x as many people as for Skyrim and more than 2x the development time. (Skyrim took 3 years, and they had 100 people at BGS in 2011, while they have over 400 now at BGS and in the credits for Starfield there are over 2000 people credited, because they outsourced a lot of work)
I really hope we get High Rock and/or Hammerfell because they both have unique cultures and lore. I even hope that they use the technology they learned from Starfield to maybe include a ship mechanic since you have the Iliac Bay.
It’s not because of the idea of two provinces, having hammerfell or high rock without traveling within the iliac bay is just impossible. Both provinces have so much mercantile actions involved to just ignore one another.
Yeah, I’ve always got that impression from that quest as well. And the fact that you can’t even start it til after you slay the first Dragon in the main quest makes it feel like a hint at what’s to come.
Hammerfell is more diverse a locale than a lot of people realize. Sure you have your vast deserts like Alik'r and the Fallen Wastes, but you also have greener areas like Sunforge, the Dragontail Mountains, upper Craglorn, upper Bangkorai, Hew's Bane, and Stros M'Kai.
Feels like each passing day Hammerfell is closer to us! Recently on Reddit, people found out a Bethesda artist was saving many reference pics on Pinterest. The pics were mostly of desert clothing, black people, and desert landscape. Some time after that, the artist's profile was completely private and no one could see what they were saving!!
Something I noticed when Starfield came out, is that the black NPCs kinda looked more realistic/natural than the others, and that immediately made me wonder if Bethesda was putting extra consideration into the look of the black NPCs in the case of a future game being predominantly populated by them (I.E. a game set in Hammerfell).
Oh yeah, I remember seeing those pics on pinterest a while ago to. A lot of West African, North African, and middle eastern inspired pics so Tes 6 its definitely gonna be set in Hammerfell. Though I also remember seeing some medieval English and French inspired pics there to which made believe we might be getting Hammerfell and High Rock.
If its set in hamerfell then im gonna play as an orc so far each game ive played as the set race in that content like dark elf for morrowind and cyrodill for imperials and skyrim for the nords lol cant wait to play as a orc or a red gaurd either that would be dope also im a new fan to the elder scrolls and fallout series or well Bethesda games in general
My dude they made 3 games between now and Skyrim, a new engine, a few story expansions for each of those games and a whole new IP. How don’t they have an excuse?
@@TheParagonIsDead those games were not TES 6 is my point. They have intentionally put it on the back burner and done other projects instead. I never said they weren't busy. I said there's no excuse why a game sequel is coming out 17 years later. They've chosen to wait 2 decades. That's ridiculous.
@@vorteco7692 but there is an excuse. They’ve spent 6 years working on it and in the 17 years they’ve released other products. Just because you don’t find that as a viable excuse doesn’t mean there isn’t one. You also got elder scrolls online. The only reason I’m even commenting tho is I feel the need to point out that if they spent 2 years in development and released an unfinished game then you would be pissed about that. Can’t have it both ways.
Starfield gets a lot of blame for that of disrupting the flows of Elderscrolls to Fallout and vice versa. Also I wonder if part of it mightn't be same as Dragon Age 4 it at some stage didn't get live serviced to hell that they had to draw back, seeing how poorly that trend is turning out.
13:00 The terrain from this trailer is heavily based on the crude terrain of Hammerfell that you can see if you clip outside the world border in skyrim. There's a photo of them side by side from the same spot and they both have the same in bay with the peninsulas, the hill the camera is flying over and the mountains in the distance. The announcement was made before pre production had even began so this was likely the only reference they had for the trailer as the map wouldn't be built yet.
@@jammyjammich They showed off that they scanned her face using photogrammetry, as well as how they were using photogrammetry for scanning terrain like rocks and stuff. I doubt they were actually developing much at the time though. Photogrammetry was already something they were using for starfield terrain, and they probably only scanned Shirley Currey at that point because they knew she might not still be around by the time they started full development.
Hopefully someone takes up the mantle because the original author of those books was an imperial man you could meet in Morrowind who has likely been dead since before oblivion happened in the timeline. If he had a descendant pick up his Great x4 grandfather’s work, that would be hilarious.
Morrowind to Oblivion: 15.8% of my life at the time. Oblivion to Skyrim: 20.8%. Skyrim to TES VI: If 2026 is the release date, 38.5% of my life to that point
One of the dlcs could possibly be high rock which would be a great move for Bethesda because that could possibly serve as the main dlc with the sheer scale of it, it could also take a year or so to release after the main game and any other dlcs
Considering how Bethesda likes dlcs situated on islands I'd bet on it being betony balfiera stros mkai the systers or that small one from daggerfall cybiades or something.
I love the way you swear, it’s such a shock everytime I hear it. You have such a “family friendly” voice and cadence so whenever I hear a swear I’m also like shocked and giggle a bit
Another thought about why it should definitely be Hammerfell: Swordsinging, the revival of this ancient redguard art could be a possibility for a new special power mechanic in TES 6 similar to what dragon shouting was in Skyrim. As from a game design standpoint adding a completely new feature like dragonshouts in one game and then not keep or replace it with something new in the next game but completely removing it without replacement would be kind of weird.
I'm sceptical to the idea of adding sword-singing as a mechanic because, you know, SWORD-singing. I want to play the kind of character I want. I even want the option to play a pacifist. I don't want to be railroaded into becoming a sword-wielder. Also the damage Shouting did to the magic system. Though I suppose the potentials for a Jedi inspired build are intriguing.
@@Aewon84 IIRC, Morrowind and ESO both established that the Shehai don't have to manifest solely as swords and can instead take the shape of whatever is more appropriate according the nature of the soul of the sword singer. Some Shehai reportedly manifested as magic staves, spell tomes, bows, etc.
Skyrim was the only elder scrolls game that had an attack/ability as the unique feature. Oblivion just had oblivion gates and morrowind had different outcomes throughout the story.
4:47 The date of the map is unlikely to be related to the date of TES 6, the map is just the generic paper copy that came with every copy of Skyrim on the 360, they all hsve that date on them.
There's another thing that could be a clue. Erik the Slayer, the NPC created in honor of a fan that died of cancer six months before the release of Skyrim, says that after he gains experience traveling with the dragonborn, wants to adventure to Hammerfell.
@@hillehai He was a hardcore TES fan, he would have wanted it. Boethiah's quest was about ripping you from your closest friends, and I had many a journey with Erik exterminating Forwsworn
yeah i sincerely doubt that, judging by the last few games we'll be lucky if we even get half the content we had in skyrim, even luckier if bethsoft drops that awful random generation tech they used to create 99.98% of starfield's planets and dungeons
If we hope and pray perhaps and that is an absolutely monolithic perhaps, the great lord Toddfather may bless us with the second coming of Skyrim. 🙏🙏🙏Otherwise the fans are gonna crucify him!
Ngl I think after learning about elder scrolls lore and whatnot I’ve concluded the Redguards have definitely gotta be the most badass race. These guys seriously drove back the Aldmeri Dominion BY THEMSELVES and forced them to renegotiate their treaty, simultaneously showing the middle finger to both the Dominion and the Empire. I also believe if the Stormcloaks canonically won the Skyrim civil war then Ulfric would be smart to try making an alliance with Hammerfell, and would definitely make the storyline more interesting IF ES6 is based there.
Sure Redguards are really cool and did indeed win, there are a few reasons why. 1. ALOT of imperial “ deserters “ stayed behind to help Redguards. 2. The thalmor army wasn’t led by their good generals. 3. Didn’t have the Orb of Vaermina that the main army had ( it let’s you spy on whatever you want ) huge reason to why they won in the first place. Sorry for this I’m bored :)
@@statuz6947 Regardless, they defeated the Aldmeri Dominion independently. The Imperial deserters thing only enhances the middle finger to the Empire imo lol.
@@jesseleeshoemakerjr5461 Well, without any help, Redguards defeated as well. i mean, give me many buffs you can, i won't try to invade Dagon's realm. Don't get me wrong, i also think that Redguards are badasses too but i don't think they are the most badass race.
It’s gotta! there’s tons of stuff in Skyrim of the Redguards mentioning what happening in there county and if lots of mention of hammer fell by NPCs more than any other country..
I'm almost certain that the game will take place in Hammerfell, but I think some small regions of High Rock will be present like Balfiera, which has the Adamantine tower that ties into a popular fan theory for the plot of TES 6. In his recent interview with MrMattyPlays Todd also said that the plan for Starfield was to have story expansions in new areas each year, and that he was similarly committed to supporting Skyrim for many years. I think it's possible that High Rock might gradually be added to TES 6 one region at a time as part of the long term support for the game. If not High Rock, I think it's quite likely we'll also see some of the islands west of Hammerfell like Thras, Caspar and Herne eventually be added similar to how Solstheim has been a dlc in the past.
I would just like to point out that Skyrim's map size was scaled down to the technology of the time it was developed in. Skyrim is supposed to be a continent with millions of people living in it. In the game its the size of a small county with a mere handful of barley populated villages in it. With today's technology I expect something a little more immersive, a little bit bigger. Though I pray to the gods they don't try to solve that problem the same way they did in Starfield.
Hammerfell would be fine, but was already mostly covered in Daggerfall. I hope not Valenwood, Elswyr, Black Marsh, or Summerset. I feel current-day Bethesda would just fuck it up by turning them into generic fantasy-land like they did with Cyrodiil. That said, I would trust them to at least get the geography right. Even they can't fuck up a lot of sand. I hope. If the Thalmor are the big bad for TES6, I think the game will be set in Summerset Isles, perhaps re-subjugating them to the Empire.
Not all of Hammerfell was covered in Daggerfall, same with High Rock, we only saw part of it. And it was a long time ago, both lore wise and for the engine used, so we could see some interesing things. That being said I absolutely agree with you about Black Marsh or Alinor. I would love to see these provinces, but Bethesda will probable made them way bellow what we learned about them
Sorry but the change for Cyrodil to be more classic Fantasy was much better The jungles/swamp area can be for Valenwood/Black marsh Cyrodil is probably the only place that’s classic fantasy (maybe high rock too)
@@reality_is_sin High Rock was always classic fantasy and is much more so than even Cyrodiil was in Oblvion, Cyrodiil was a „normal“ Jungle completely different from Black marsh. And Valenwood is not a Jungle but a big Forrest with walking trees.
Anything before Morrowind doesn't really count as done, given they were generically procedurally generated, and even then I'd be okay with Morrowind in modern graphics that focuses on the Mainland.
I was 12 when Skyrim came out, I remember thinking, “damn I’m going to be in college by the time I get to play Elder Scrolls VI”. Now I’m 26 just hoping I get to see a new game before I turn 30…
It was generally accepted a while ago that it would be Hammerfell and High Rock combined. Sure, it could be wrong, but that's been the consensus for many years.
For the date on the map, this was actually the date the map was made in universe, this date appears on all the skyrim map merch that came with the game :)
Great video, but here's my personal argument against Hammerfell. You had many great points but they all rely on them continuing the story and world events of Skyrim. Every previous Elder Scrolls game has almost nothing to do with anything the game that came before it set up. Arena: Emperor is kidnapped and needs to be rescued -> Daggerfall: The Iliac Bay region is threatened by a ghost king and an ancient Mech has shown up and might change the coarse of history-> Morrowind: A resurrected hero needs to stop 3 gods and a false god who wants to spread a plague across the world -> Oblivion: Daedric forces have begun invading the world and are destroying and killing every race/civilization on Tamriel -> Skyrim: Dragons have returned to destroy/reset the world -> Elder Scrolls 6 ? Every game is it's own story with little to no major plot points from the previous games effecting its own story. From Oblivion to Skyrim was a 200 year time skip. For all we know Elder Scrolls 6 could take place at the end of the 4th era and the Thalmor and Empire are things of the past. I still loved the video, but I see so many people make plot based off of what Skyrim set up making the meme of it being "Skyrim 2" seem more real. The plots should always be stand alone and unpredictable. If you beat Oblivion and said "Ok, the Daedra have destroyed so much of Tamriel and killed the emperor and now the empire has no ruler. So obviously the Plot of Elder Scroills 5 will take place 200 years later in Skyrim and Dragons have returned" then you are really good a guessing.
There still is a lot of continuity between games: In Arena you reinstate the emperor and stop the empire from turning into chaos. In Daggerfall that very Emperor sends you on a special mission, there you uncover the Numidium and decide who will use it. In Morrowind you uncover the power of the Numidium with the Heart of Lorkhan, you kill the rulers of Morrowind and in Oblivion the ruler of the Empire gets killed. In Oblivion at the end the Dragon returns in Martin Septim and in Skyrim the Dragons return.
Great takes Master Neloth! The only thing I'm not in complete agreement on is the absence of High Rock. I think it may simply be covered in the tweet bc the clues are meant to point us solely to Hammerfell and Bethesda wanted to make the mystery easier. But maybe you're right 🤷♂ maybe it will just be Hammerfell in the base game. Though I think we'll definitely get part of High Rock in DLC. At the very least the Daggerfall area and perhaps Wayrest too for an Orsinium story. Thanks for the video!
Yeah you’ve convinced me, at first I wasn’t a believer mainly because I just really didn’t want it to be true but now I’m actually kind of excited for what they could do with region so thank you
The Elder Scrolls VI: Sunforge could be a nice name for it since the view of the teaser seemed to be from around skaven overlooking the illiac bay. And Sunforge is the region skaven is located in and i just like how it sounds lol
There are so many Hammerfell/Redguard references in Skyrim. It would be a huge surprise if ES6 wasn't in Hammerfell. It'd be great too, the environment is completely different to Skyrim. We've had dark and gloomy with Morrowind, classical fantasy with Oblivion and snowy and mountainous with Skyrim. Having a desert region would be completely new for Elder Scrolls.
This is why I'm excited for Beyond Skyrim. We could have gone to Valenwood, Black Marsh, some place we've never seen in an Elder Scrolls game. But we're presumedly going back to a desert country we've already been to and won't get the chance to see a new location for another twelve years after tes6 releases in five
It's also worth noting that Queen Ayren of Alinor/Summerset hates the Thalmor as well, and, respectively, the Thalmor views her as an untrue queen and tried to get Mehrunes Dagon to assist in overthrowing her. There were other Daedra Prince's involved, too, but Mehrunes seemed primary for that time. So it's likely the rise of Thalmor power had to do with the successful overthrowing of Queen Ayren by that point 30 years prior in game
I'd rather them take the sweet time to perfect this than release hot trash like most of the crap coming out today Also i would love if it took place after the Skyrim events or and the butt end
Honestly I feel like the most damming point against anywhere in southern Tamriel is that all those areas are a bit too alien. Oblivion & Skyrim are both very "normal human" games and that's what the casual audience expects. I don't think a game like Morrowind would be made as part of the main series anymore
I very much do think Hammerfell will be the location. 1. Its one of the known places with Dwemer Ruins 2. Hammerfell is a really logical place to be a key battleground when the Thalmor start the second war. 3. Its location would mean they could obvious have part of High Rock as one of the main DLCs. 4. We haven't seen a desert climate in the mainline modern Elder Scrolls, while the north is more traditional biome. 5. I very much think the canon end to the Civil War will be the Dragon Born made the trice and then the Redguards and Dunmer came to the aid of the Stormcloaks so they could jointly forge a new Ebonheart Pact. It also just fits so well that in the Peace Talks Ulfric gives up the city that would be most easy for the Dunmer to attack and gains the city that would let the Redguards flank an Imperial Siege of Markarth trapping them in the valley leading to the city.
Not to mention fans found employees Pinterest. They’ve made pin boards of desert rocks and environments, black people, head wraps, etc. seems to be hammerfell for sure
While I can certainly see why Hammerfell makes sense, and I'll be happy either way, I have this desire for it to be set in Elsweyr, or Valenwood, mostly Elsweyr, don't know why. Probably not happening, but I just really wanna go there. But if Hammerfell is the location, I'm fine with that too, cuz I love all the provines of Tamriel, so it doesn't matter where we go.
I'd imagine ES:Black Marsh is like exploring the amazon with magic. Black Marsh would be PERFECT because you can set up outposts very effectively and have it be a very meaningfully mechanic incorporated into the game, being that the natural environment is very harsh and hostile. Learning the conquer blackmarsh would help every other province thrive🎉 😮
If it is Hammerfell (which I agree it is), I hope the game begins with Saadia being transported back to Hammerfell. The player then chooses one of 4+ characters in the cart being transported: a redguard female (then customized), redguard male (then customized), any race/gender, or Saadia herself, with each character being fully voiced. Or allow us to pick other characters. Maybe we are one of the guards transporting her. Do we try to prevent her escape or aid it? Do we play as someone who raids the transport convoy to break Saadia free, so we play as her friend/ally/family member/etc. Through dialogue with or as Shaadia, we find out if she was lying or telling the truth in Skyrim. We then either play through the story as her, or go our own way, either supporting or opposing her, or go our own way entirely. If we play as her, we open up related quests/storylines, like maybe we already have a home, allies, are in a guild, etc. If we choose to side with or against her, we may have a foot in the door to join certain faction(s) based on if Shaadia was lying or telling the truth. Or we play completely independent of her, just choosing an option like I don't know/care who you are, I'm only out for myself, and we are free to do whatever we want for the rest of the game. So from the very start of the game we can set up like one of ~15 storylines. - a prisoner who helps/opposes Saadia or takes no interest in her - a guard who helps/opposed Saadia - a raiding party who helps/opposes Saadia And dialogue choices determine if Saadia was lying or telling the truth. All the quests change based on that. Like if we choose to help her and she was telling the truth leads us to different quests/factions than if we chose to help/oppose her and she was lying. Maybe one path puts us on a course to joining the thieves guild, or mages guild, or whatever. Maybe one path gives us a lowly spot in a faction or an honored place in a guild or with another character. Whatever choice we make, there are like ~40 possible different starts for the game. If anyone thinks this is too big or bold, we've waited +10 years for this. Bethesda needs to up its roleplaying and give us more than two options, e.g. Stormcloaks or Imperials, to do or reject quests. Let players choices have significant impacts on the game. Let us decide more how to shape the world events, not just choose A or B. Let us choose A-H.
Its 100 in hammerfall u also see sentinel in distance also u missed talking about the crater in the trailer. Is this the main stroy of the game. Do the dwemers come back?drop from the sky
I kinda want to have all the areas combined in 1 game would be huge with the previous games just copy the landscape then attach it to the invisible wall of skyrim to walk to oblivion or morrowind
You're presuming that ES6 ever gets made at all ...and I think it's highly likely that it will, but the real issue is will it be any good. There's very little incentive for Bethesda to make ES6 a good game. People will buy it anyway and Bethesda knows it. They'll take the path of least resistance (and expense), Todd the Howard will hype the shit out of it and they'll unleash another turkey on the gaming public. This has been Bethesda's business plan for the past decade or so and there's no reason to believe it will change.
High Rock will be an Expansion. It's not too Large of an area but I could see them easily making just one really Large Expansion and calling it a day on the game.
I know some people want the game to be in both Hammerfell and High Rock, but I'd rather see it just in one or the other. I'd rather see a game that's well crafted and potentially smaller than other games than something like Starfield which has vast amounts of nothing.
I also don't think the lore size of the province matters that much. Daggerfall has the smallest map lore wise but the largest map game wise. Games like GTA 5 and Cyberpunk 2077 have maps that rival Skyrim despite being set in just one city and the surrounding county. It all depends on how they scale it.
if anything High Rock could ended up being a major DLC for TES6, felt like High Rock is too small of a province to have itself a solo game. Hell even in Daggerfall they had to implement northern Hammerfell
My baseless guess is this: The game will take place in the entirety of Hammerfell, since it’s comparable to Skyrim in size. Then, there may be some Dragonborn-esque DLC that takes us to parts of High Rock or even Orsinium.
100%. as i stated in my own comment, hammerfell is the location. whether they decide to roll high rock into there as well remains to be seen and i hope they do. the real dream is to do hammerfell with high rock and orsinium. its possible, but bethesda is lazy so i wouldnt get our hopes up. all this depending on if the game is even still being worked on and hasnt been scrapped.
@@einarr7301 Another option which I would be satisfied with is a very well done Hammerfell with all its orbiting isles. As a DLC, we get to go to Yokuda which is the birthplace of Redguards. Yokuda is not that big and would be a great expansion. In sum, they need to offer us more than just a Skyrim size territory to explore while keeping the same density.
The same way in Fallout 3 someone was there looking for a person from the setting of Fallout 4, it seems like in TES5 there was someone looking for a person from the setting of TES6.
I was really hoping it would be in Black Marsh ... Would love one of these games to go full deep into Argonian lore and history. I'm not that disappointed though because hammerfell would have been my second choice.
so we all know that we play "the hero" in these games but do yall think we will be a special person like in Skyrim or just player strong like in oblivion
Fwiw, the map featured in the post was the map that came with the physical game back in 2011 so I'm not sure how much we want to read into the date on it.
i think its gonna be both in high rock and hammerfell, for one because if they keep true to skyrims scale (and skyrims maps is smaller than oblivions, since cyrodiil is bigger than skyrim) it wouldnt make sense to have a game only set in high rock. also theres an outline in a starfield teaser showing the outlines of high rock, hammerfell, and what seems to be part of cyrodiil. also they know the expectations are high
I think ES6 will be after Skyrim because the map in Skyrim is from 4E175 if I remember correctly, a map from a few years later could have widely replaced the 4E175 by 10 or so years after 4E201
Only problem is there isn’t any sand in the teaser which is what Hammerfell is known for. I do hope they do it though because that sounds sick and maybe it’s more than one continent in the game.
actually I think that it will be in high rock because comparative to the map the candle representing present is on a book that is up high next to a rock /j
The ES games since daggerfall have loosely been around the towers. Daggerfall had the brass tower (numidium), morrowind had the red tower, oblivion had the white gold tower and skyrim had the snow throat tower. There are also other ones like the green sap etc. all are deactivated during the games except the adamantai tower which is in high rock. Would be a shame not to make it a part of the story and use whatever the deactivation of these towers might entail
Likely answer is both, where the Thalmor set Saadia up. Thus the Redguard leaders thinks she betrayed them, but she was somebody the Thalmor failed to assassinate and forced into hiding for defying them.
I think it’ll be Hammerfell for the sole reason that the Dwemer had a much smaller presence in southern Tamriel and because of how popular the Dwemer are in the fan base, they would want to try and maximize their profit, and people enjoy the Dwemer and their mysteries
My bet would be around the Illiac bay with main plot being at the isle of balfiera and the adamantine tower, I recommend watching drew's video from fudgemupper on his channel where he covers this with the evidence aswell.
They could set the game in the Aldmeri Dominion, combining Elsweyr, Valenwood, and Summerset Isles together. It could be fun to have your race actually matter beyond a few minor dialogue options and automatic access to locations that don't really matter. That being said, I'm pretty sure it's going to be set in Hammerfell. The political plot will be about Hammerfell rejoining the Empire and fighting off the Aldmeri Dominion. The existential plot will be tied to evil dudes (possibly from the Dominion) trying to destroy the Adamantine Tower and bringing about the end of Nirn. The cool mechanic will be that your hero is a sword singer, maybe a rebirth of Gaiden Shinji, or possibly an incarnation of Ebonarm.
I have a feeling it has something to do with the Dwemer. I hope to goodness they don't, but they might explain why they disappeared. My theory is if the thalmor are trying to return back to their original forms before lorkhan betrayed yadayadayada, it might have something to do with how the dwemer disappeared. Which I have a feeling will be that they tried to rival the power of the gods, and so we're returned to their incorporial forms which are on a different plane of existence.
Imagine going back to hammerfell when they could make valenwood or black marsh. Two locations that haven’t been in the mainline games. Nah let’s make one in the same province that we already have
I actually think that TES 6 will take place in our imagination if Bethesda keeps going so slow
They weren’t going slow, TES VI was hardly even in development until after Starfield came out.
@@justinb864 They are going extremely slow!

Just like the elven homeland...
Very true I’m afraid
@justinb864 you are wrong. They can HIRE MORE people. There is no practical reason (other than ESO) for it to take them this long
I wish we got Hammerfell and High Rock in the same game, it would be really fun. Imagine an Elder Scrolls game set in more than one province, crazy.
Bethesda likes looking back in their games. I have a feeling they'll want a " daggerfall 2 " and have high rock hammerfell and orsinium
I really hope we get High Rock and/or Hammerfell because they both have unique cultures and lore. I even hope that they use the technology they learned from Starfield to maybe include a ship mechanic since you have the Iliac Bay.
So 50% of all Elder Scrolls games:
TES 1 Arena (all of Tamriel)
TES 2 Daggerfall (Highrock and Hammerfell)
ESO (a Bit of every province)
That would be great, but given BGS's current track record, I don't believe in their ability to pull off a game of that size and still make it good.
It’s not because of the idea of two provinces, having hammerfell or high rock without traveling within the iliac bay is just impossible. Both provinces have so much mercantile actions involved to just ignore one another.

Saadia quest is what kinda gives me the idea it's set in hammerfell they snuck a hint in like they did in the other games
Yeah, I’ve always got that impression from that quest as well. And the fact that you can’t even start it til after you slay the first Dragon in the main quest makes it feel like a hint at what’s to come.
Hammerfell is more diverse a locale than a lot of people realize. Sure you have your vast deserts like Alik'r and the Fallen Wastes, but you also have greener areas like Sunforge, the Dragontail Mountains, upper Craglorn, upper Bangkorai, Hew's Bane, and Stros M'Kai.

If its set in hamerfell then im gonna play as an orc so far each game ive played as the set race in that content like dark elf for morrowind and cyrodill for imperials and skyrim for the nords lol cant wait to play as a orc or a red gaurd either that would be dope also im a new fan to the elder scrolls and fallout series or well Bethesda games in general
@@Htx_brendenWelcome to the fandom, my friend! I hope you have a fantastic time.
I know that "games are hard to make", however there is really no excuse for a game sequel coming out 17 years later. That's an insane amount of time!
My dude they made 3 games between now and Skyrim, a new engine, a few story expansions for each of those games and a whole new IP.
How don’t they have an excuse?
@@TheParagonIsDead those games were not TES 6 is my point. They have intentionally put it on the back burner and done other projects instead. I never said they weren't busy. I said there's no excuse why a game sequel is coming out 17 years later. They've chosen to wait 2 decades. That's ridiculous.
@@vorteco7692 i think they should just admit that they scrapped elder scrolls 6.
@@vorteco7692 but there is an excuse. They’ve spent 6 years working on it and in the 17 years they’ve released other products. Just because you don’t find that as a viable excuse doesn’t mean there isn’t one. You also got elder scrolls online.
The only reason I’m even commenting tho is I feel the need to point out that if they spent 2 years in development and released an unfinished game then you would be pissed about that. Can’t have it both ways.
Starfield gets a lot of blame for that of disrupting the flows of Elderscrolls to Fallout and vice versa. Also I wonder if part of it mightn't be same as Dragon Age 4 it at some stage didn't get live serviced to hell that they had to draw back, seeing how poorly that trend is turning out.
13:00 The terrain from this trailer is heavily based on the crude terrain of Hammerfell that you can see if you clip outside the world border in skyrim. There's a photo of them side by side from the same spot and they both have the same in bay with the peninsulas, the hill the camera is flying over and the mountains in the distance. The announcement was made before pre production had even began so this was likely the only reference they had for the trailer as the map wouldn't be built yet.
i thought they already had footage of the game being developed. like Skyrim Granny getting put in the game
@@jammyjammich
They showed off that they scanned her face using photogrammetry, as well as how they were using photogrammetry for scanning terrain like rocks and stuff. I doubt they were actually developing much at the time though. Photogrammetry was already something they were using for starfield terrain, and they probably only scanned Shirley Currey at that point because they knew she might not still be around by the time they started full development.
The elder scrolls 6 will feature new issues of the lusty argonian maid
The Lusty Argonian Maid - The Theater Play (18+)
Hopefully someone takes up the mantle because the original author of those books was an imperial man you could meet in Morrowind who has likely been dead since before oblivion happened in the timeline. If he had a descendant pick up his Great x4 grandfather’s work, that would be hilarious.
One can only hope 😔
And The Sultry Argonian Bard.
The official announcement came out 1/3rd of your life ago since you’re 20. That’s nuts
Bro was a toddler when oblivion dropped, and just a sperm cell in his daddy’s testicle when Morrowind did
1/4 since i’m 24
27% of my life ago
Morrowind to Oblivion: 15.8% of my life at the time.
Oblivion to Skyrim: 20.8%.
Skyrim to TES VI: If 2026 is the release date, 38.5% of my life to that point
One of the dlcs could possibly be high rock which would be a great move for Bethesda because that could possibly serve as the main dlc with the sheer scale of it, it could also take a year or so to release after the main game and any other dlcs
Considering how Bethesda likes dlcs situated on islands I'd bet on it being betony balfiera stros mkai the systers or that small one from daggerfall cybiades or something.

@@srdjanrikic978Don't hold your breath.
Another thought about why it should definitely be Hammerfell: Swordsinging, the revival of this ancient redguard art could be a possibility for a new special power mechanic in TES 6 similar to what dragon shouting was in Skyrim. As from a game design standpoint adding a completely new feature like dragonshouts in one game and then not keep or replace it with something new in the next game but completely removing it without replacement would be kind of weird.
I'm sceptical to the idea of adding sword-singing as a mechanic because, you know, SWORD-singing. I want to play the kind of character I want. I even want the option to play a pacifist. I don't want to be railroaded into becoming a sword-wielder. Also the damage Shouting did to the magic system.
Though I suppose the potentials for a Jedi inspired build are intriguing.
@@Aewon84 IIRC, Morrowind and ESO both established that the Shehai don't have to manifest solely as swords and can instead take the shape of whatever is more appropriate according the nature of the soul of the sword singer. Some Shehai reportedly manifested as magic staves, spell tomes, bows, etc.
I just want to emulate Paul Atreides in the TES universe and wipe out the Dominion. Thats all 😅
Skyrim was the only elder scrolls game that had an attack/ability as the unique feature. Oblivion just had oblivion gates and morrowind had different outcomes throughout the story.
if it's gonna be a reskin of starfield space powers, I don't want it
4:47 The date of the map is unlikely to be related to the date of TES 6, the map is just the generic paper copy that came with every copy of Skyrim on the 360, they all hsve that date on them.
There's another thing that could be a clue.
Erik the Slayer, the NPC created in honor of a fan that died of cancer six months before the release of Skyrim, says that after he gains experience traveling with the dragonborn, wants to adventure to Hammerfell.
Unless you sacrifice him to Boethiah like I did
@@springheeljak145 Even as a joke, that's in poor taste.
@@hillehai He was a hardcore TES fan, he would have wanted it. Boethiah's quest was about ripping you from your closest friends, and I had many a journey with Erik exterminating Forwsworn
After over a decade of waiting it better be in both Hammerfell and High Rock.
yeah i sincerely doubt that, judging by the last few games we'll be lucky if we even get half the content we had in skyrim, even luckier if bethsoft drops that awful random generation tech they used to create 99.98% of starfield's planets and dungeons
If we hope and pray perhaps and that is an absolutely monolithic perhaps, the great lord Toddfather may bless us with the second coming of Skyrim. 🙏🙏🙏Otherwise the fans are gonna crucify him!
Ngl I think after learning about elder scrolls lore and whatnot I’ve concluded the Redguards have definitely gotta be the most badass race. These guys seriously drove back the Aldmeri Dominion BY THEMSELVES and forced them to renegotiate their treaty, simultaneously showing the middle finger to both the Dominion and the Empire. I also believe if the Stormcloaks canonically won the Skyrim civil war then Ulfric would be smart to try making an alliance with Hammerfell, and would definitely make the storyline more interesting IF ES6 is based there.
Sure Redguards are really cool and did indeed win, there are a few reasons why.
1. ALOT of imperial “ deserters “ stayed behind to help Redguards.
2. The thalmor army wasn’t led by their good generals.
3. Didn’t have the Orb of Vaermina that the main army had ( it let’s you spy on whatever you want ) huge reason to why they won in the first place.
Sorry for this I’m bored :)
@@statuz6947 Regardless, they defeated the Aldmeri Dominion independently. The Imperial deserters thing only enhances the middle finger to the Empire imo lol.
i think the most badass race is Argonians. They defeated AND counter-invaded daedra during the oblivion crisis 😂
@mrtkhrmn by badass you mean Hist slaves? They get buffed by the Hist whenever the Hist are threatened. Otherwise the Hist abandon them.
@@jesseleeshoemakerjr5461 Well, without any help, Redguards defeated as well. i mean, give me many buffs you can, i won't try to invade Dagon's realm. Don't get me wrong, i also think that Redguards are badasses too but i don't think they are the most badass race.
I just hope It continues with the Dominion's plotline. That most be the main story of the game.
It’s gotta! there’s tons of stuff in Skyrim of the Redguards mentioning what happening in there county and if lots of mention of hammer fell by NPCs more than any other country..
I'm almost certain that the game will take place in Hammerfell, but I think some small regions of High Rock will be present like Balfiera, which has the Adamantine tower that ties into a popular fan theory for the plot of TES 6. In his recent interview with MrMattyPlays Todd also said that the plan for Starfield was to have story expansions in new areas each year, and that he was similarly committed to supporting Skyrim for many years. I think it's possible that High Rock might gradually be added to TES 6 one region at a time as part of the long term support for the game. If not High Rock, I think it's quite likely we'll also see some of the islands west of Hammerfell like Thras, Caspar and Herne eventually be added similar to how Solstheim has been a dlc in the past.
Thras mentioned?!!!
Let's gooo SLOAD!!!!
I really hope we get to see Thras!
Hearing you say “hello my fellow HIERLINGS OF HOUSE TELVANI” genuinely puts me in a good mood man keep up the amazing work
I would just like to point out that Skyrim's map size was scaled down to the technology of the time it was developed in. Skyrim is supposed to be a continent with millions of people living in it. In the game its the size of a small county with a mere handful of barley populated villages in it. With today's technology I expect something a little more immersive, a little bit bigger. Though I pray to the gods they don't try to solve that problem the same way they did in Starfield.
I really hope it’s set in Hammerfell. I’d love to see some sort of resolution/aftermath of the Saadia quest in Skyrim
Hammerfell would be fine, but was already mostly covered in Daggerfall.
I hope not Valenwood, Elswyr, Black Marsh, or Summerset. I feel current-day Bethesda would just fuck it up by turning them into generic fantasy-land like they did with Cyrodiil.
That said, I would trust them to at least get the geography right. Even they can't fuck up a lot of sand. I hope.
If the Thalmor are the big bad for TES6, I think the game will be set in Summerset Isles, perhaps re-subjugating them to the Empire.
Not all of Hammerfell was covered in Daggerfall, same with High Rock, we only saw part of it. And it was a long time ago, both lore wise and for the engine used, so we could see some interesing things.
That being said I absolutely agree with you about Black Marsh or Alinor. I would love to see these provinces, but Bethesda will probable made them way bellow what we learned about them
Sorry but the change for Cyrodil to be more classic Fantasy was much better
The jungles/swamp area can be for Valenwood/Black marsh
Cyrodil is probably the only place that’s classic fantasy (maybe high rock too)
@@reality_is_sin High Rock was always classic fantasy and is much more so than even Cyrodiil was in Oblvion, Cyrodiil was a „normal“ Jungle completely different from Black marsh.
And Valenwood is not a Jungle but a big Forrest with walking trees.
It was never fully covered. Actualy not at all .online is a low effort and it actualy Is the best region of online
Anything before Morrowind doesn't really count as done, given they were generically procedurally generated, and even then I'd be okay with Morrowind in modern graphics that focuses on the Mainland.
I was 12 when Skyrim came out, I remember thinking, “damn I’m going to be in college by the time I get to play Elder Scrolls VI”. Now I’m 26 just hoping I get to see a new game before I turn 30…
It was generally accepted a while ago that it would be Hammerfell and High Rock combined. Sure, it could be wrong, but that's been the consensus for many years.
Yeah no we knew this like Six years ago
For the date on the map, this was actually the date the map was made in universe, this date appears on all the skyrim map merch that came with the game :)
Great video, but here's my personal argument against Hammerfell. You had many great points but they all rely on them continuing the story and world events of Skyrim. Every previous Elder Scrolls game has almost nothing to do with anything the game that came before it set up. Arena: Emperor is kidnapped and needs to be rescued -> Daggerfall: The Iliac Bay region is threatened by a ghost king and an ancient Mech has shown up and might change the coarse of history-> Morrowind: A resurrected hero needs to stop 3 gods and a false god who wants to spread a plague across the world -> Oblivion: Daedric forces have begun invading the world and are destroying and killing every race/civilization on Tamriel -> Skyrim: Dragons have returned to destroy/reset the world -> Elder Scrolls 6 ? Every game is it's own story with little to no major plot points from the previous games effecting its own story. From Oblivion to Skyrim was a 200 year time skip. For all we know Elder Scrolls 6 could take place at the end of the 4th era and the Thalmor and Empire are things of the past. I still loved the video, but I see so many people make plot based off of what Skyrim set up making the meme of it being "Skyrim 2" seem more real. The plots should always be stand alone and unpredictable. If you beat Oblivion and said "Ok, the Daedra have destroyed so much of Tamriel and killed the emperor and now the empire has no ruler. So obviously the Plot of Elder Scroills 5 will take place 200 years later in Skyrim and Dragons have returned" then you are really good a guessing.
There still is a lot of continuity between games:
In Arena you reinstate the emperor and stop the empire from turning into chaos.
In Daggerfall that very Emperor sends you on a special mission, there you uncover the Numidium and decide who will use it.
In Morrowind you uncover the power of the Numidium with the Heart of Lorkhan, you kill the rulers of Morrowind and in Oblivion the ruler of the Empire gets killed.
In Oblivion at the end the Dragon returns in Martin Septim and in Skyrim the Dragons return.
I'm guessing elder scrolls 6 is in hammerfall and the crater in the trailer hints to something dropping from the sky
I genuinely think a Hammerfell+High Rock+Orsinium is possible
Base game unlikely, but Hammerfell with High Rock and Orsinium being 2 of the main DLCs seems possible.
Great takes Master Neloth! The only thing I'm not in complete agreement on is the absence of High Rock. I think it may simply be covered in the tweet bc the clues are meant to point us solely to Hammerfell and Bethesda wanted to make the mystery easier. But maybe you're right 🤷♂ maybe it will just be Hammerfell in the base game. Though I think we'll definitely get part of High Rock in DLC. At the very least the Daggerfall area and perhaps Wayrest too for an Orsinium story. Thanks for the video!
I hope they do Hammerfell, but also include Orsinium. It’s not part of the province, I think. But it’s so small it would fit right in.
Orsinium would be DLC
Yeah you’ve convinced me, at first I wasn’t a believer mainly because I just really didn’t want it to be true but now I’m actually kind of excited for what they could do with region so thank you
The Elder Scrolls VI: Sunforge could be a nice name for it since the view of the teaser seemed to be from around skaven overlooking the illiac bay. And Sunforge is the region skaven is located in and i just like how it sounds lol
if they do the eso 6 right it will be bigger then elden ring
There are so many Hammerfell/Redguard references in Skyrim. It would be a huge surprise if ES6 wasn't in Hammerfell. It'd be great too, the environment is completely different to Skyrim. We've had dark and gloomy with Morrowind, classical fantasy with Oblivion and snowy and mountainous with Skyrim. Having a desert region would be completely new for Elder Scrolls.
This is why I'm excited for Beyond Skyrim. We could have gone to Valenwood, Black Marsh, some place we've never seen in an Elder Scrolls game. But we're presumedly going back to a desert country we've already been to and won't get the chance to see a new location for another twelve years after tes6 releases in five
It's also worth noting that Queen Ayren of Alinor/Summerset hates the Thalmor as well, and, respectively, the Thalmor views her as an untrue queen and tried to get Mehrunes Dagon to assist in overthrowing her. There were other Daedra Prince's involved, too, but Mehrunes seemed primary for that time.
So it's likely the rise of Thalmor power had to do with the successful overthrowing of Queen Ayren by that point 30 years prior in game
I thought we already knew this
I'd rather them take the sweet time to perfect this than release hot trash like most of the crap coming out today
Also i would love if it took place after the Skyrim events or and the butt end
Honestly I feel like the most damming point against anywhere in southern Tamriel is that all those areas are a bit too alien. Oblivion & Skyrim are both very "normal human" games and that's what the casual audience expects. I don't think a game like Morrowind would be made as part of the main series anymore
“Elder Scrolls VI: Bethesda goes bankrupt”
I very much do think Hammerfell will be the location.
1. Its one of the known places with Dwemer Ruins
2. Hammerfell is a really logical place to be a key battleground when the Thalmor start the second war.
3. Its location would mean they could obvious have part of High Rock as one of the main DLCs.
4. We haven't seen a desert climate in the mainline modern Elder Scrolls, while the north is more traditional biome.
5. I very much think the canon end to the Civil War will be the Dragon Born made the trice and then the Redguards and Dunmer came to the aid of the Stormcloaks so they could jointly forge a new Ebonheart Pact. It also just fits so well that in the Peace Talks Ulfric gives up the city that would be most easy for the Dunmer to attack and gains the city that would let the Redguards flank an Imperial Siege of Markarth trapping them in the valley leading to the city.
Tes vi will be names thug shaker simulator
Not to mention fans found employees Pinterest. They’ve made pin boards of desert rocks and environments, black people, head wraps, etc. seems to be hammerfell for sure
Orsinium and stros m'kai seem like great DLC options if elder scrolls 6 would be in hammerfell
While I can certainly see why Hammerfell makes sense, and I'll be happy either way, I have this desire for it to be set in Elsweyr, or Valenwood, mostly Elsweyr, don't know why. Probably not happening, but I just really wanna go there.
But if Hammerfell is the location, I'm fine with that too, cuz I love all the provines of Tamriel, so it doesn't matter where we go.
Personally im hoping they will do hammerfell AND high rock.
With how powerful consoles are now. I see no reason they couldnt do this.
I'd imagine ES:Black Marsh is like exploring the amazon with magic. Black Marsh would be PERFECT because you can set up outposts very effectively and have it be a very meaningfully mechanic incorporated into the game, being that the natural environment is very harsh and hostile. Learning the conquer blackmarsh would help every other province thrive🎉 😮
If it is Hammerfell (which I agree it is), I hope the game begins with Saadia being transported back to Hammerfell. The player then chooses one of 4+ characters in the cart being transported: a redguard female (then customized), redguard male (then customized), any race/gender, or Saadia herself, with each character being fully voiced. Or allow us to pick other characters. Maybe we are one of the guards transporting her. Do we try to prevent her escape or aid it? Do we play as someone who raids the transport convoy to break Saadia free, so we play as her friend/ally/family member/etc.
Through dialogue with or as Shaadia, we find out if she was lying or telling the truth in Skyrim. We then either play through the story as her, or go our own way, either supporting or opposing her, or go our own way entirely. If we play as her, we open up related quests/storylines, like maybe we already have a home, allies, are in a guild, etc. If we choose to side with or against her, we may have a foot in the door to join certain faction(s) based on if Shaadia was lying or telling the truth. Or we play completely independent of her, just choosing an option like I don't know/care who you are, I'm only out for myself, and we are free to do whatever we want for the rest of the game.
So from the very start of the game we can set up like one of ~15 storylines.
- a prisoner who helps/opposes Saadia or takes no interest in her
- a guard who helps/opposed Saadia
- a raiding party who helps/opposes Saadia
And dialogue choices determine if Saadia was lying or telling the truth. All the quests change based on that. Like if we choose to help her and she was telling the truth leads us to different quests/factions than if we chose to help/oppose her and she was lying. Maybe one path puts us on a course to joining the thieves guild, or mages guild, or whatever. Maybe one path gives us a lowly spot in a faction or an honored place in a guild or with another character. Whatever choice we make, there are like ~40 possible different starts for the game.
If anyone thinks this is too big or bold, we've waited +10 years for this. Bethesda needs to up its roleplaying and give us more than two options, e.g. Stormcloaks or Imperials, to do or reject quests. Let players choices have significant impacts on the game. Let us decide more how to shape the world events, not just choose A or B. Let us choose A-H.
Its 100 in hammerfall u also see sentinel in distance also u missed talking about the crater in the trailer. Is this the main stroy of the game. Do the dwemers come back?drop from the sky
Kids are starting kindergarten this fall who first played Skyrim on their refrigerators
I’ll be staggered if Tes6 releases and has more than 3 skills: Warrior, Thief, Mage.
I kinda want to have all the areas combined in 1 game would be huge with the previous games just copy the landscape then attach it to the invisible wall of skyrim to walk to oblivion or morrowind
You're presuming that ES6 ever gets made at all ...and I think it's highly likely that it will, but the real issue is will it be any good. There's very little incentive for Bethesda to make ES6 a good game. People will buy it anyway and Bethesda knows it. They'll take the path of least resistance (and expense), Todd the Howard will hype the shit out of it and they'll unleash another turkey on the gaming public. This has been Bethesda's business plan for the past decade or so and there's no reason to believe it will change.
I was just thinking about this yesterday. 😅 I really hope it is.
I'd LOVE for it to include High Rock and Hammerfell as well as naval combat in the Illiac Bay.
Imagine how surprised everyone will be when it takes such a long time because it takes place in the entirety of Tamriel, not just Hammerfell
High Rock will be an Expansion. It's not too Large of an area but I could see them easily making just one really Large Expansion and calling it a day on the game.
I think a lot of us just want black Marsh would it make sense no
I know some people want the game to be in both Hammerfell and High Rock, but I'd rather see it just in one or the other. I'd rather see a game that's well crafted and potentially smaller than other games than something like Starfield which has vast amounts of nothing.
I also don't think the lore size of the province matters that much. Daggerfall has the smallest map lore wise but the largest map game wise. Games like GTA 5 and Cyberpunk 2077 have maps that rival Skyrim despite being set in just one city and the surrounding county. It all depends on how they scale it.
if anything High Rock could ended up being a major DLC for TES6, felt like High Rock is too small of a province to have itself a solo game. Hell even in Daggerfall they had to implement northern Hammerfell
My baseless guess is this:
The game will take place in the entirety of Hammerfell, since it’s comparable to Skyrim in size. Then, there may be some Dragonborn-esque DLC that takes us to parts of High Rock or even Orsinium.
Imagine Tes 6 set in Hammerfell, High Rock, Orsinium, Tes 7 in Elswyer, Vallenwood, Summerset, Tes 8 in Black Marsh, Morrowind. A man can dream 🤤
Idk I don't think a elder scrolls 7 will happen
Thts a really good prediction but would only happen if bethesda is that damn ambitious. More provinces doesn't exactly mean better game at all
If the Thalmor are indeed the main antagonists in TES VI, then that justifies me constantly attacking them on the streets of Skyrim 😂
The real debate is whether it's Hamerfell or Hammerfell+High Rock
100%. as i stated in my own comment, hammerfell is the location. whether they decide to roll high rock into there as well remains to be seen and i hope they do. the real dream is to do hammerfell with high rock and orsinium. its possible, but bethesda is lazy so i wouldnt get our hopes up.
all this depending on if the game is even still being worked on and hasnt been scrapped.
@@einarr7301 Another option which I would be satisfied with is a very well done Hammerfell with all its orbiting isles. As a DLC, we get to go to Yokuda which is the birthplace of Redguards. Yokuda is not that big and would be a great expansion. In sum, they need to offer us more than just a Skyrim size territory to explore while keeping the same density.
the ruins are azra's crossing from shadowkey
The same way in Fallout 3 someone was there looking for a person from the setting of Fallout 4, it seems like in TES5 there was someone looking for a person from the setting of TES6.
I was really hoping it would be in Black Marsh ... Would love one of these games to go full deep into Argonian lore and history. I'm not that disappointed though because hammerfell would have been my second choice.
so we all know that we play "the hero" in these games but do yall think we will be a special person like in Skyrim or just player strong like in oblivion
When he said hammer fell or elsweyr did he say hammer fell or elsewhere
Fwiw, the map featured in the post was the map that came with the physical game back in 2011 so I'm not sure how much we want to read into the date on it.
Fun fact: it’s taken Bethesda longer to release TES VI than it took for Alexander the Great to conquer the Persian Empire.
I sure hope we can finally admire and explore Balfiera Island in its full glory and not like in ESO only partially and only one time….. 🤞
With the amount of time we’ve waited we better get all of Tamriel and fully fleshed out.
i think its gonna be both in high rock and hammerfell, for one because if they keep true to skyrims scale (and skyrims maps is smaller than oblivions, since cyrodiil is bigger than skyrim) it wouldnt make sense to have a game only set in high rock. also theres an outline in a starfield teaser showing the outlines of high rock, hammerfell, and what seems to be part of cyrodiil. also they know the expectations are high
I think it's also possible that TESVI might take place around all of Tamerial if Starfield tells me anything.
the fact that eso has not touched Hammerfell pretty much confirms that is where ES6 will take place
Did you not make an entire video on something that was long since confirmed?
I think ES6 will be after Skyrim because the map in Skyrim is from 4E175 if I remember correctly, a map from a few years later could have widely replaced the 4E175 by 10 or so years after 4E201
The game has barely been announced and half of the people on TH-cam's comment section are already saying the game is bad
2024 gaming in a nutshell
Only problem is there isn’t any sand in the teaser which is what Hammerfell is known for. I do hope they do it though because that sounds sick and maybe it’s more than one continent in the game.
actually I think that it will be in high rock because comparative to the map the candle representing present is on a book that is up high next to a rock /j
I really hope it will take place in high rock and hammer fell, u get orsinium, home of the red guards, and Bretons
Only 10 more years until we find out! Awesome!!
The ES games since daggerfall have loosely been around the towers. Daggerfall had the brass tower (numidium), morrowind had the red tower, oblivion had the white gold tower and skyrim had the snow throat tower. There are also other ones like the green sap etc. all are deactivated during the games except the adamantai tower which is in high rock. Would be a shame not to make it a part of the story and use whatever the deactivation of these towers might entail
It has to be. I need an answer to the question, Saadia or Kematu?
Likely answer is both, where the Thalmor set Saadia up. Thus the Redguard leaders thinks she betrayed them, but she was somebody the Thalmor failed to assassinate and forced into hiding for defying them.
@@anvos658 mind blown emoji
I think it’ll be Hammerfell for the sole reason that the Dwemer had a much smaller presence in southern Tamriel and because of how popular the Dwemer are in the fan base, they would want to try and maximize their profit, and people enjoy the Dwemer and their mysteries
My bet would be around the Illiac bay with main plot being at the isle of balfiera and the adamantine tower, I recommend watching drew's video from fudgemupper on his channel where he covers this with the evidence aswell.
They could set the game in the Aldmeri Dominion, combining Elsweyr, Valenwood, and Summerset Isles together. It could be fun to have your race actually matter beyond a few minor dialogue options and automatic access to locations that don't really matter.
That being said, I'm pretty sure it's going to be set in Hammerfell. The political plot will be about Hammerfell rejoining the Empire and fighting off the Aldmeri Dominion. The existential plot will be tied to evil dudes (possibly from the Dominion) trying to destroy the Adamantine Tower and bringing about the end of Nirn. The cool mechanic will be that your hero is a sword singer, maybe a rebirth of Gaiden Shinji, or possibly an incarnation of Ebonarm.
The warm setting will be a pleasant contrast
I don't think size matters that much, since Morrowind was only Vvardenfell.
I have a feeling it has something to do with the Dwemer. I hope to goodness they don't, but they might explain why they disappeared. My theory is if the thalmor are trying to return back to their original forms before lorkhan betrayed yadayadayada, it might have something to do with how the dwemer disappeared. Which I have a feeling will be that they tried to rival the power of the gods, and so we're returned to their incorporial forms which are on a different plane of existence.
Imagine going back to hammerfell when they could make valenwood or black marsh. Two locations that haven’t been in the mainline games. Nah let’s make one in the same province that we already have
I just want to go to Orsinium. Please let me have Orc city, Bethesda, I want to see.
I really want a game in Elsweyr, I get we already have it as a province in ESO but a game there would be awesome
So you want a furry game? 😂
@@DiscoDragonFTW not a furry I just enjoy the khajiit, and I like the funky way they talk
We going to get GTA 6 before Elderscrolls 6
Been waiting on this game, i wouldn't mind seeing Hammerfell fully fleshed out. Burned out on Fallout.
