And better factions that are fully integrated to the world. Joining a guild and raising your rank should be meaningful, and NPC should react to your character's guild and deeds in some way. A higher ranked guild member should get noticed, you could be famous or infamous depending on multiple factors. Of course not every NPC has to care or know everything, but if it makes sense for them to know and react then they absolutely should. Fighters Guild could help the town guard and get missions from them, Mages Guild could be hired by the local Temple of Julianos to solve mysterious magical issues, Thieves Guild could assist or hinder a noble family to take over an entire city or province... I don't mean one or two disconnected quests here and there. When you join a guild you'll get these extra opportunities to interact with NPC that you wouldn't otherwise get, and then there would be actual separate guild quests. Higher rank would get you more semi Radiant missions from various NPC. And so on. And walking about decked in end game armor and gear should stop normal bandits from attacking you all the time.

@@elkevinski Yes, you're right! And if we go back a couple of generations, we could even see more about the Ancient Falmer, it would be very interesting to see both sides and compare the ancient Dwemer and Falmer to the last ones of their race in Morrowind and Skyrim Dawnguard!
i always loved playing elder scrolls V, but when this game comes out, i am going to be somewhere in line to get it. i am also hyped about what the soundtrack would be like
No one cares about graphics single player narrative. Give us a playable game with two provinces summerset isle and cyrodiil. Synopsis - the Dragonborn topples the mede usurper, he is Talos incarnate smashes the Thalmor from Cyrodiil and reforges the Septim Empire to its former glory. They can either max out the build up of morrowind, oblivion and skyrim or lose it all.
The gaming industry needs the new elder scrolls very badly. Skyrim is the most replayable and one of the most iconic games of all time. I just hope skyrim grandma lives to see herself in the game
@@rng_stuffthe amount of "fans" that came along with The Casual Scrolls V is what's going to kills this series. I feel like they liked the money they got by going casual and dumbing down the game. I really have qualms about 6. I highly doubt they're going to return to proper leveling systems, and they may dumb it down even more. Maybe picking between mgk stm hlt and perks was too much. We have pre determined Todd Howard perk kits now 😢
The elder scrolls and fallout actually won’t be exclusively on Xbox. Todd Howard has stated himself that he wouldn’t do that to the fans of his game who have been playing TES and Fallout on PC or PlayStation for years already
@@demoflow starfield will be an exclusive because it’s a standalone title and Bethesda needs to provide Microsoft at least one good exclusive game and I’m sure there will be more to come but Todd has said already that TES and Fallout will NOT be exclusively on Xbox. That would just be a stupid move honestly. They would lose so much money and in-turn Microsoft would too.
@@glerapyglapman4411 almost as stupid as saying that fallout 76 would have 16 times the detail... or releasing a trailer in 2018 and staying silent about the game ever since...
Just keep the existing series on platforms they have always been an release the new titles exclusive i don't care beyond that. If tes6 is xbox and pc only then guess i fucking have to buy an xbox just to play that game
@@terskataneli6457 it's not worth it, especially if you can get a PC instead, sure it will cost you a lot but you no longer need to worry about losing out on TES, just because Microsoft is so desperate to get people to buy their shoddy console series
Im thinking there might be Orsinium DLC as well, as its in that area, and going off how the dragonborn DLC took place in solstheim and dealt with hermaius mora, its possible there could be a DLC taking place in Orsinium and interacting with Malacath
I like that idea! Orsinium is the site of one of my favorite DLC's for the MMO, and I would love to revisit the location in a single player game set centuries later.
@@Dani_Reasor think of how much sense it would make. Orsinium keeps getting invaded and destroyed. Imagine if the thalmor tried to invade and conquer orsinium and Malacath is just like "this is NOT happening again", especially if it was by the altmer, which if I remember right, the orcs used to be be altmer who worshipped trinimac, so realistically Malacath would probably see that as a HUGE slap in the face and reach out to the player character after hearing of what they've accomplished. Also wouldn't the thalmor see the orcs who openly worship Malacath as treasonous, as they still worship "trinimac" after he was transformed and cast out?
It should _NOT_ be DLC mate. It should be in the base game and play a significant role in the main quest, just like it did in TES2: Daggerfall. The difference with Solstheim is that it's not connected to Skyrim by land, whereas The Free City-State of Orsinium IS directly connected to the Independent Province of Hammerfell, and depending on who you ask, is literally A PART of it.
You forgot to mention two things! TES 6 will have large scale auto generated territories between cities (I think Todd said this in some interrview). And as a result, magic and magical beings (like vampires, werewolves etc - according to Todd again) will be a MUCH rarer sight to see or come across. The reason is why we had them by the every corner in the past games is the small territories, so the mundane and supernatural were basically at the same spots. This gonna be different in TES 6 which gonna take a more realistic approach. And my guess, since we return to Illiac Bay (as was hinted in the early Starfield trailer, where the TES 6 schematic map was spoilt on one of the shots), we gonna have ships and sailing, maybe with naval battles too.
FUCK i'd love that. I dream of an "almost" 1:1 fantasy RPG. Elder scrolls games should stop trying to replicate a full country, as skyrim feels RIDICULOUSLY small nowadays
tbf i don't think it makes sense for it to be just iliac bay, because if the candles really are a teaser to hammerfell, they wouldve placed it at iliac bay, not there. for the procedurally generated portion: can you please send a link to that interview?? they already tried that with arena and daggerfall (which was set in iliac bay) not sure if they will do that again cuz the world would feel way more barren and soulless imho
I hope it's not auto generated, the exploration will be really boring and souless if that's the case, especially after experiencing starfield, which had some horrible exploration so hopefully they decide against doing it again. Part of why I play tes is because it's all the fantasy elements, otherwise I'd play kingdom come deliverance. I'd rather a map that isn't filled with large empty spaces and causes fantasy enemies to be rare.
As TES 6 will essentially be set in the same region as TES 2 Daggerfall, the Illiac Bay, I think it would be awesome for them also to do some spinoffs like they used to where games are set in unexplored regions or even other continents like Akavir or Pyandonea. Yes there is technically a game set in Black Marsh, TES Travels stormhold which I've played and ur just stuck in a linear dungeon the whole time. Would be cool to see a full game set in that region
I admit I was crushed when I learned that the next Elder Scrolls game wasn't going to be on PlayStation. I still play Skyrim to this day and it's one of my favorite games of all time, along with the Fallout series. I'm REALLY going to miss those
I think a really cool throwback to older video game times, and also because we deserve at least this as a community for waiting (in support) so long, would be that Bethesda should consider releasing a demo version of the game (since the early area is already playable) in conjunction with their official release date trailer. Just like a pre-equipped character in the starting region, maybe even a smaller area we can explore, and like just one clear a bandit camp mission and that's it. Can't think of a better way to hype up elder scrolls 6 more than just giving fans a free taste of what they're been waiting so long for.
Just thinking of how much lore is in this game and all of it ties in and there is so much still being discovered, it really is no wonder it takes so many years. Id rather they get it right anyways
Skyrim needed an extra 6 months of development time but instead had to make that stupid 11-11-11 date and ended up leaving a lot of things unfinished. I hope they don't do that with TES VI.
I’ve always felt like elder scrolls games lacked any kinda reward for completing the main quest line. I’ve wanted to be emperor or high king so bad. I enjoyed fable 3 because you became the king and made a bunch of decisions that affected the world.
I don't know. Your whole identity is to be an adventurer not a ruler. Sure you can be the Guild master or smt but how are you even going to rule an empire if you're out there looting caves and ruins half the time.
Nah man y’all are boring. How could you NOT want to be the king or emperor and have a sick war quest line or make sick economic decisions that effect gameplay.
That story of Shirley..... just.....man. If you've ever been in a nursing home, you see how lonely it gets. Imagine living alone with no family around, but you have a huge community online to go to every day! +1 point to the internet.
Skyrim has been a large part of my life, I used to play it when my brother wasn't playing. I know that its still going to a while before elder scrolls 6 is available but I think it will be the first pre order ill ever buy. I am willing to buy a whole new computer that's powerful enough to handle this beauty at full settings out of pocket. Im just hoping for multiplayer and that they wont cheap out on the game too soon. god bless Tom Howard.
Was way more keen for Elsweyr/Vallenwood for drastic environmental and cultural change. But maybe they felt the Bosmers homeland is still too difficult to pull off.
@@icannotbeseen Enhanced lights and FX completely changed my views on how important lighting can be in games. Beyond Skyrim? legacy of the dragonborn? Yeah whatever, have you seen these candles?
The theories are interesting as hell can’t imagine how in depth the lore is for elder scrolls . Was watching the 1st elder scrolls gameplay and it was just ahead of it’s time , allowing you to explore most of places
Also a side note there were numerous references/encounters in skyrim that i personally know ES6 will be hammerfell/high rock just think of saadia/alikr mercenaries,night green fire mentioned by one of the legates near the rift to even seren mentioning to her husband rustleif to move to hammerfell once they had their firstborn child in dawnstar
Yeah they always hint at the next title like this. Morrowind mentioned Cyrodiil constantly, Oblivion mentioned Skyrim constantly, Skyrim mentions Hammerfell constantly.
I was so eager to see the trailer when I started thinking about it. Then I saw how old it was and realized I totally forgot that it came out years ago....... It'll be fun to play when it's released in a decade.
I have very little faith in Bethesda anymore, and I’m saying this as someone who has played and loves all their stuff from morrowind to fallout 4. Only reason I hold out any hope at all for ES6 is because Scrolls has been one of my favorite game worlds for a while and I’ve been wanting this game for a decade
I trust Bethesda. They don’t always deliver with fallout, but Elder scrolls is their baby. They will 100% make a game that is just as playable as Skyrim if not more!!!!
After Cyrodil and Skyrim being rather similar in quite a few ways in terms of environment, Hammerfell would be a welcome change in general biomes. Also want the Thalmor to have more personality, perhaps even playable, whether they succeed or fail.
I remember years ago they showed a minor trailer type thing, and someone was all “they copyrighted the phrase redfall, so its most likely in Hammerfall home of the Redguard” and then red fall turned out to be a different game. They’ve been making it for so long, so it’s probably got a better story than Halo 5& Infinite, I’m expecting a HUGE game, an amazing one.
I think they set up the next story at the end of Skyrim's civil war story. Where both General Tullius and Ulfric will say they think the peace will be short lived and Tullius mentions that he doesn't trust the peace he has with the Thalmor. Also putting on the tactic hat the Thalmor would want Skyrim so they could hit the empire from the north since Skyrim is not particularly strong in terms of it army or is resource rich so the empire/Thalmor would likely win the civil war and the mountains would be hard to attack from Cyrodiil. Also in ESO there is only one zone for Hammerfell (three if you count part of Craglorn and Bangkorai) and they have no plans of any more zones there I don't think. Not to mention Hammerfell is basically confirmed in that trailer since the 3 peninsulas are the 3 on the coast of Hammerfell in the Illiac bay, they are also independent from the empire and Thalmor if I'm correct. I think this sets up the second great war between the Thalmor and empire and what ever other random ass Daedric invasion or insurrection/ world ending event that makes Chicago look like a utopia and taking place in Hammerfell and High Rock, mainly the Glenumbra and Stormhaven regions. (I hope I get to be a drug lord running skooma and moonsugar through Hammerfell and High Rock in the Illiac bay and exploiting the war for money). (S tier Thieves guild story change my mind.)
I mean I assume TES 6 will also be set in the 4th era after Skyrim, meaning the most up to date info of the illiac bay would be based off Daggerfall as it's set early third era and ESO is set 2nd era right?
The trailer didn't show Hammerfell, guaranteed, unless they were on drugs when they made it. I know many "popular CZcamsrs" have propagated it, but they're dead wrong. I can elaborate if you need, but the trailer definetly shows High Rock (but yes, I also believe it'll encompass both regions)
@@bierwolf8360 If you look at a map of tamriel it has those three peninsulas also we can the the big spell scar/ crator thing. Unless that's not in hammerfell. It's a location in eso in craglorn part of which is in hammerfell and eso is cannon.
@@helmofneitiznot1134 I know about those three peninsulas but they're really not that distinctive. What's much more important is the position of the sun in the trailer. It's on the right side, over the ocean. If this shoreline is the one you claim, it's a northern shore - which would mean the sun is in the north. It never is (even in TES, the sun rises in the east, is highest in the south and sets in the west). Thus, by the sun's position and the shadows cast, we can conclude it's not a northern coast. The shadows fall long, which points to either dawn or dusk, ruling out a southern coast. Only west or east remain. In the trailer, we see seagulls flying towards the ocean. They do so in the morning. This is an east coast. From the flora and landscape, the trailer isn't set in Morrowind, Black Marsh nor the Summerset Isles. Where does it fit? In the Rivenspire, in High Rock
I hope we get something dwemer. I don't want them specifically but maybe some off spring. Maybe they pop back into existence and they are just as confused as us and now everyone just has to get along and try and figure things out as these new dwemer try and figure out what happened with us. It would keep the mystery alive while adding a new species. Maybe as a...eh idk Deep Elf. We would get the ability to move our physical body into another plane of reality for a small amount of time. Again I'm not suggesting actual dwemer but their off spring. Maybe they got separated and the Deep Elf's wound up back to our plane of existence but have zero idea about anything regarding their parent species. Keeps the mystery alive and brings some more fun, maybe they would be really good craftsmen and dwemer machines would start appearing more often around the world. Maybe reserved for royals or military. It would be cool
When you said Hammerfell of the Redguards, I started spazzing out 😅 I've been a Redguard since 2011, and I'll probably always be at this point ❤ I dont mind the wait for VI, it's well worth it
I know hearing that this game is set next to Skyrim is kinda upsetting I was hopping for a tamriel map with most maps put together.. I wanna see oblivion and morrowind with these new graphics .. but I guess not..
My Guess is that it will be called Elder Scrolls 6 Dominion and take place in the whole of the Aldameri Dominion (Starting in Hammerfell) with the story (or at least one major faction quest) involving the liberation of Hammerfell, Valenwood and Elsewehere

What would be fantastic is if we were able to travel to different regions of Tamriel. Maybe not the entire region but at least small parts. Just imagine being able to visit Whiterun with the new engine, graphics and all that.
i hope the cities are bigger than fishing hamlets from the year 700 B.C. Skyrims "cities" are smaller than vanilla oblivions and theress yet to be a mod for all the cities that does any substantial redesigns instead of just adding clutter
Totally agree even the imperial city in oblivion ( the largest one so far ) is only about the size of a large village with maybe a hundred people . The towns in skyrim are small farm villages in scale .
I honestly don’t think it’s a good thing for game devs to wait nearly 15 years to release a sequel. The fans of Skyrim are mostly now grown and won’t be as interested, a lot of people have moved on
AWESOME STORY IDEA: it would be awesome to have the story revolve around uncovering the secret of the dwemer disappearance and bringing them back into the world as a playable race for the next game... and populating dwarven strongholds once again.
What if the Shirley Curry NPC is a recurring NPC that tells you about super powerful/dangerous weapons hidden in dungeons that she had visited in her travels. I know it probably won't be like that, but I can dream.
i love that everything in this video that is remotely interesting are theories, because the thing is, we know nothing about TES6 hopefully it will be released before 2030 but i don't believe will be as lucky, our friend todd will probably wait first to realease skyrim 15year anniversary and skyrim 20year anniversary before showing a pixel of the actual TES6, i'm pretty sure the ''trailer'' from 2018 was just made to be an excuse to keep selling to us skyrim for many more years, i love TES and i've played skyrim every fucking year since launch... but come on Todd... do something with your biggest franchise, pretty please?

@@elkevinski Yes, you're right! And if we go back a couple of generations, we could even see more about the Ancient Falmer, it would be very interesting to see both sides and compare the ancient Dwemer and Falmer to the last ones of their race in Morrowind and Skyrim Dawnguard!
i always loved playing elder scrolls V, but when this game comes out, i am going to be somewhere in line to get it. i am also hyped about what the soundtrack would be like
heard its not the same guy from skyrim making the music in this one thou 😢
Jeremy Soule will not write the soundtrack of TES 6, unfortunately.
Even without Jeremy Soule I can bet it will go something like... da da dahhhh...da da dahhhhh!...da DA dahhhhh...dada da da dahhhh
@@gunderlarsson that's absolutely tragic 😭
No one cares about graphics single player narrative. Give us a playable game with two provinces summerset isle and cyrodiil. Synopsis - the Dragonborn topples the mede usurper, he is Talos incarnate smashes the Thalmor from Cyrodiil and reforges the Septim Empire to its former glory. They can either max out the build up of morrowind, oblivion and skyrim or lose it all.
The gaming industry needs the new elder scrolls very badly. Skyrim is the most replayable and one of the most iconic games of all time. I just hope skyrim grandma lives to see herself in the game
@@rng_stuff i fear for how bare bones it's going to be because of how much todd howard is praising and upselling modders
@@rng_stuffthe amount of "fans" that came along with The Casual Scrolls V is what's going to kills this series. I feel like they liked the money they got by going casual and dumbing down the game. I really have qualms about 6. I highly doubt they're going to return to proper leveling systems, and they may dumb it down even more. Maybe picking between mgk stm hlt and perks was too much. We have pre determined Todd Howard perk kits now 😢
@@mandoad1841"they can just make the game for us, here's a title and a game engine, to get em modders"
The elder scrolls and fallout actually won’t be exclusively on Xbox. Todd Howard has stated himself that he wouldn’t do that to the fans of his game who have been playing TES and Fallout on PC or PlayStation for years already
Yeah right . Keep praying . I hope is not an exclusive so ponies can play but at the same time look at Starfield.
@@demoflow starfield will be an exclusive because it’s a standalone title and Bethesda needs to provide Microsoft at least one good exclusive game and I’m sure there will be more to come but Todd has said already that TES and Fallout will NOT be exclusively on Xbox. That would just be a stupid move honestly. They would lose so much money and in-turn Microsoft would too.
@@glerapyglapman4411 almost as stupid as saying that fallout 76 would have 16 times the detail... or releasing a trailer in 2018 and staying silent about the game ever since...
Just keep the existing series on platforms they have always been an release the new titles exclusive i don't care beyond that. If tes6 is xbox and pc only then guess i fucking have to buy an xbox just to play that game
@@terskataneli6457 it's not worth it, especially if you can get a PC instead, sure it will cost you a lot but you no longer need to worry about losing out on TES, just because Microsoft is so desperate to get people to buy their shoddy console series
Im thinking there might be Orsinium DLC as well, as its in that area, and going off how the dragonborn DLC took place in solstheim and dealt with hermaius mora, its possible there could be a DLC taking place in Orsinium and interacting with Malacath
I like that idea! Orsinium is the site of one of my favorite DLC's for the MMO, and I would love to revisit the location in a single player game set centuries later.
@@Dani_Reasor think of how much sense it would make. Orsinium keeps getting invaded and destroyed. Imagine if the thalmor tried to invade and conquer orsinium and Malacath is just like "this is NOT happening again", especially if it was by the altmer, which if I remember right, the orcs used to be be altmer who worshipped trinimac, so realistically Malacath would probably see that as a HUGE slap in the face and reach out to the player character after hearing of what they've accomplished. Also wouldn't the thalmor see the orcs who openly worship Malacath as treasonous, as they still worship "trinimac" after he was transformed and cast out?
Nah son, Malacath is shit (literally) give us Sanguine.
It should _NOT_ be DLC mate. It should be in the base game and play a significant role in the main quest, just like it did in TES2: Daggerfall. The difference with Solstheim is that it's not connected to Skyrim by land, whereas The Free City-State of Orsinium IS directly connected to the Independent Province of Hammerfell, and depending on who you ask, is literally A PART of it.
You forgot to mention two things!
TES 6 will have large scale auto generated territories between cities (I think Todd said this in some interrview). And as a result, magic and magical beings (like vampires, werewolves etc - according to Todd again) will be a MUCH rarer sight to see or come across. The reason is why we had them by the every corner in the past games is the small territories, so the mundane and supernatural were basically at the same spots. This gonna be different in TES 6 which gonna take a more realistic approach.
And my guess, since we return to Illiac Bay (as was hinted in the early Starfield trailer, where the TES 6 schematic map was spoilt on one of the shots), we gonna have ships and sailing, maybe with naval battles too.
FUCK i'd love that. I dream of an "almost" 1:1 fantasy RPG. Elder scrolls games should stop trying to replicate a full country, as skyrim feels RIDICULOUSLY small nowadays
Sounds a little out there tbh
tbf i don't think it makes sense for it to be just iliac bay, because if the candles really are a teaser to hammerfell, they wouldve placed it at iliac bay, not there.
for the procedurally generated portion: can you please send a link to that interview?? they already tried that with arena and daggerfall (which was set in iliac bay) not sure if they will do that again cuz the world would feel way more barren and soulless imho
I hope it's not auto generated, the exploration will be really boring and souless if that's the case, especially after experiencing starfield, which had some horrible exploration so hopefully they decide against doing it again. Part of why I play tes is because it's all the fantasy elements, otherwise I'd play kingdom come deliverance. I'd rather a map that isn't filled with large empty spaces and causes fantasy enemies to be rare.
Starfield has definitely proven that this would be a TERRIBLE idea
This actually is believable, after 4 years of pre-dev, the world has been nearly completed
I'm sure it'll have 16x the detail
and at least 4 times the size of skyrim xD with 1000 planes of oblivion to explore!
In Godd Howard we trust
I wish we will get a chance to kill some of daedric princes. Never really like them at all.
@@a_smile55 Yea because he's never ever steered us wrong before.... *Fallout 76 enters the chat*
@@markellzey1531 Have faith brother
I'm pretty sure TES 6 is scheduled to come out right after Half-Life 3
As TES 6 will essentially be set in the same region as TES 2 Daggerfall, the Illiac Bay, I think it would be awesome for them also to do some spinoffs like they used to where games are set in unexplored regions or even other continents like Akavir or Pyandonea. Yes there is technically a game set in Black Marsh, TES Travels stormhold which I've played and ur just stuck in a linear dungeon the whole time. Would be cool to see a full game set in that region
can't wait to see skyrim with SIXTEEN TIMES THE DETAILS
Skyrim has wonderful music, lore, mysteries and big open map. I also loved the survival mode❤
I admit I was crushed when I learned that the next Elder Scrolls game wasn't going to be on PlayStation. I still play Skyrim to this day and it's one of my favorite games of all time, along with the Fallout series. I'm REALLY going to miss those
I built a gaming PC mainly for Bethesda games lmao
Starfield, fallouts, and elder scrolls will always be must plays for me
Xbox trying not to buy game developers and make their own games challenge:
Its 1000x better on computer anyways. You could get a cheap laptop for less than an Xbox as well.
I'll never buy an Xbox again. Had one, never used it. I'll just go buy a laptop.
@@twiggy1253nah I prefer console. I'll just have to watch then lol
I think a really cool throwback to older video game times, and also because we deserve at least this as a community for waiting (in support) so long, would be that Bethesda should consider releasing a demo version of the game (since the early area is already playable) in conjunction with their official release date trailer. Just like a pre-equipped character in the starting region, maybe even a smaller area we can explore, and like just one clear a bandit camp mission and that's it. Can't think of a better way to hype up elder scrolls 6 more than just giving fans a free taste of what they're been waiting so long for.
Just thinking of how much lore is in this game and all of it ties in and there is so much still being discovered, it really is no wonder it takes so many years. Id rather they get it right anyways
Praying they get it right. A piece of me will die if they don’t haha
They most likely haven’t even started let’s be honest
Skyrim needed an extra 6 months of development time but instead had to make that stupid 11-11-11 date and ended up leaving a lot of things unfinished. I hope they don't do that with TES VI.
I’ve always felt like elder scrolls games lacked any kinda reward for completing the main quest line. I’ve wanted to be emperor or high king so bad. I enjoyed fable 3 because you became the king and made a bunch of decisions that affected the world.
Nah don’t compare that shit to this. Fable 3 don’t even hang with fable 1
I don't know. Your whole identity is to be an adventurer not a ruler. Sure you can be the Guild master or smt but how are you even going to rule an empire if you're out there looting caves and ruins half the time.
Making the player a king or an emperor is the worst idea.
Nah man y’all are boring. How could you NOT want to be the king or emperor and have a sick war quest line or make sick economic decisions that effect gameplay.
@@Punkjagger there are other games for that.

In the UK high school (or secondary school) is from 11 to 16

I haven’t completed Skyrim but I still can’t wait to play this
Skyrim has been a large part of my life, I used to play it when my brother wasn't playing. I know that its still going to a while before elder scrolls 6 is available but I think it will be the first pre order ill ever buy. I am willing to buy a whole new computer that's powerful enough to handle this beauty at full settings out of pocket. Im just hoping for multiplayer and that they wont cheap out on the game too soon. god bless Tom Howard.
Tod Howard sounds like he’s making ES6 his new love child. I hope he pulls through with this. ALL HAIL GOD HOWARD
i really just dont see a future where this game is worth the wait
Was way more keen for Elsweyr/Vallenwood for drastic environmental and cultural change. But maybe they felt the Bosmers homeland is still too difficult to pull off.
The music just makes me feel so right
Can't wait to see what the character customization menu looks like.
I modded my skyrim graphics for the first time last week. could barely handle it. TES6 might kill me with graphics quality
(I spent three whole days marvelling at water. still do, actually. good stuff.)

💀💀 same my laptop got tooo hot thought it would blow up
Your pc can handle it, but the game itself cannot. Also, mods are rarely optimized
welp I just know I wont be alive to see this
Neither will the old lady that will be in the game
@Lenny Outman Yeah, that is the sad part, she is 87, not much time left for her
The theories are interesting as hell can’t imagine how in depth the lore is for elder scrolls . Was watching the 1st elder scrolls gameplay and it was just ahead of it’s time , allowing you to explore most of places
Also a side note
there were numerous references/encounters in skyrim that i personally know ES6 will be hammerfell/high rock
just think of saadia/alikr mercenaries,night green fire mentioned by one of the legates near the rift to even seren mentioning to her husband rustleif to move to hammerfell once they had their firstborn child in dawnstar
And fort Fellhammer.
Don't forget Lokir if it wasn't for the Stormcloak, he would've been halfway to Hamerfell
Yeah they always hint at the next title like this.
Morrowind mentioned Cyrodiil constantly, Oblivion mentioned Skyrim constantly, Skyrim mentions Hammerfell constantly.
@@Elizabean1984 what's next Hammerfell mentioning valenwood/argonia

It shouldn't be a big surprise that tes 5 to 6 will be biggest leap in graphics. It has been 12 years
they better let you become a vampire or a werewolf and give them more powers
Or a Lich that would be rad
I simply cannot wait for it 😢
I was so eager to see the trailer when I started thinking about it. Then I saw how old it was and realized I totally forgot that it came out years ago....... It'll be fun to play when it's released in a decade.
Im like 90% sure the game is going to be called The Elder Scrolls VI: Hammerfell
why would it? The trailer showed High Rock, after all
Currently on my 3rd playthrough and still fucking loving it just as much as my first. This game is so incredible, it's hard to put into words.
You mean Skyrim?
I hope it will play in multiple regions and has some daggerfall elements. If they can make a game in space they can make the world huge.
I’ve been waiting 12 years for this video. I’m ecstatic that we finally have 7 FULL minutes of content from Bethesda on this game..
I have very little faith in Bethesda anymore, and I’m saying this as someone who has played and loves all their stuff from morrowind to fallout 4. Only reason I hold out any hope at all for ES6 is because Scrolls has been one of my favorite game worlds for a while and I’ve been wanting this game for a decade
I trust Bethesda. They don’t always deliver with fallout, but Elder scrolls is their baby. They will 100% make a game that is just as playable as Skyrim if not more!!!!
i love that they are putting the skyrim grandma in the game! i didn't know until now!
I CANT WAIT!
After Cyrodil and Skyrim being rather similar in quite a few ways in terms of environment, Hammerfell would be a welcome change in general biomes. Also want the Thalmor to have more personality, perhaps even playable, whether they succeed or fail.
Yea playable nazis let's go
I really hope it's Hammerfell + High Rock. Having desert + lush greenery
@@queenryderYou can play HOI4 and don't need to wait 5 years for that

It better not be hammerfell.
hopefully the elder scroll 6 include skyrim as a expansion pack... because skyrim place so beautiful
Thankyou lol, I couldn’t figure out why I kept thinking redfall was elder scrolls 6, I got excited when I heard it had a release date lol
I still play skyrim frequently, I’m trying not to get too hyped but I cannot wait
I hope it's a single player game with optional co-op play
Me too, Nelson. I don’t need 20 people in my game, but to have a buddy with me would be nice.
Same, keep that for ESO I say. Yes have multi-player content but not an open world with other players
I hope not.
Let's be honest this game will only be a shadow of skyrim.
I remember years ago they showed a minor trailer type thing, and someone was all “they copyrighted the phrase redfall, so its most likely in Hammerfall home of the Redguard” and then red fall turned out to be a different game.
They’ve been making it for so long, so it’s probably got a better story than Halo 5& Infinite, I’m expecting a HUGE game, an amazing one.
I'm literally waiting for this game to come out before I build my next PC.
I think they set up the next story at the end of Skyrim's civil war story. Where both General Tullius and Ulfric will say they think the peace will be short lived and Tullius mentions that he doesn't trust the peace he has with the Thalmor. Also putting on the tactic hat the Thalmor would want Skyrim so they could hit the empire from the north since Skyrim is not particularly strong in terms of it army or is resource rich so the empire/Thalmor would likely win the civil war and the mountains would be hard to attack from Cyrodiil. Also in ESO there is only one zone for Hammerfell (three if you count part of Craglorn and Bangkorai) and they have no plans of any more zones there I don't think. Not to mention Hammerfell is basically confirmed in that trailer since the 3 peninsulas are the 3 on the coast of Hammerfell in the Illiac bay, they are also independent from the empire and Thalmor if I'm correct. I think this sets up the second great war between the Thalmor and empire and what ever other random ass Daedric invasion or insurrection/ world ending event that makes Chicago look like a utopia and taking place in Hammerfell and High Rock, mainly the Glenumbra and Stormhaven regions. (I hope I get to be a drug lord running skooma and moonsugar through Hammerfell and High Rock in the Illiac bay and exploiting the war for money). (S tier Thieves guild story change my mind.)
Oh the Thalmor DEFINITELY have something cooking up for TES VI czcams.com/video/Cki7_jufwgY/video.html
I mean I assume TES 6 will also be set in the 4th era after Skyrim, meaning the most up to date info of the illiac bay would be based off Daggerfall as it's set early third era and ESO is set 2nd era right?
The trailer didn't show Hammerfell, guaranteed, unless they were on drugs when they made it. I know many "popular CZcamsrs" have propagated it, but they're dead wrong. I can elaborate if you need, but the trailer definetly shows High Rock (but yes, I also believe it'll encompass both regions)
@@bierwolf8360 If you look at a map of tamriel it has those three peninsulas also we can the the big spell scar/ crator thing. Unless that's not in hammerfell. It's a location in eso in craglorn part of which is in hammerfell and eso is cannon.
@@helmofneitiznot1134 I know about those three peninsulas but they're really not that distinctive. What's much more important is the position of the sun in the trailer. It's on the right side, over the ocean. If this shoreline is the one you claim, it's a northern shore - which would mean the sun is in the north. It never is (even in TES, the sun rises in the east, is highest in the south and sets in the west). Thus, by the sun's position and the shadows cast, we can conclude it's not a northern coast. The shadows fall long, which points to either dawn or dusk, ruling out a southern coast. Only west or east remain. In the trailer, we see seagulls flying towards the ocean. They do so in the morning. This is an east coast. From the flora and landscape, the trailer isn't set in Morrowind, Black Marsh nor the Summerset Isles. Where does it fit? In the Rivenspire, in High Rock
I hope we get something dwemer. I don't want them specifically but maybe some off spring. Maybe they pop back into existence and they are just as confused as us and now everyone just has to get along and try and figure things out as these new dwemer try and figure out what happened with us. It would keep the mystery alive while adding a new species. Maybe as a...eh idk Deep Elf. We would get the ability to move our physical body into another plane of reality for a small amount of time. Again I'm not suggesting actual dwemer but their off spring. Maybe they got separated and the Deep Elf's wound up back to our plane of existence but have zero idea about anything regarding their parent species. Keeps the mystery alive and brings some more fun, maybe they would be really good craftsmen and dwemer machines would start appearing more often around the world. Maybe reserved for royals or military. It would be cool
Never thought I’d be looking forward to a game in my late 30’s
When you said Hammerfell of the Redguards, I started spazzing out 😅 I've been a Redguard since 2011, and I'll probably always be at this point ❤ I dont mind the wait for VI, it's well worth it
are you a robot in a playable state?
This game has so much potential they should give you access to all of the whole world
I know hearing that this game is set next to Skyrim is kinda upsetting I was hopping for a tamriel map with most maps put together.. I wanna see oblivion and morrowind with these new graphics .. but I guess not..
Exclusive you say. Time to sail the high seas!
Really Hope jeremy soule will compose the musics
I hate to say this but he most likely wont
Nah, he won't unless a miracle happens.
Todd says it's in a "playable state" 😂 I'd love to know his definition of playable.
I can't wait, I'm hoping for the best. Especially after seeing starfield man.
My Guess is that it will be called Elder Scrolls 6 Dominion and take place in the whole of the Aldameri Dominion (Starting in Hammerfell) with the story (or at least one major faction quest) involving the liberation of Hammerfell, Valenwood and Elsewehere
I just hope Jeremy Soule comes back :(

False rape allegations apparently
@@reedyy_4114 false? Grow up. He’s had a history of sexual misconduct, unfortunately. I love his music, but you need to understand that someone capable of amazing things is also capable of the opposite.

I remember watching the reveal trailer live… back in high school.. still never heard anything about the game since the and I’ve been out of high school 4 years
Am most interested in this. role playing has always been a passion. Loved Skyrim and Oblivion. Can't wait!
The fact that Jeremy Soule won't make the music for it like he did for Skyrim means the game is already worse than it's predecessor...
What would be fantastic is if we were able to travel to different regions of Tamriel. Maybe not the entire region but at least small parts. Just imagine being able to visit Whiterun with the new engine, graphics and all that.
That's Arena
Didnt he say it uses the same engine as in starfield?
Here's what we know about TESVI. It's got a placeholder title screen made 5 years ago.
That warms my heart hearing about the gaming granny
i hope the cities are bigger than fishing hamlets from the year 700 B.C. Skyrims "cities" are smaller than vanilla oblivions and theress yet to be a mod for all the cities that does any substantial redesigns instead of just adding clutter
Totally agree even the imperial city in oblivion ( the largest one so far ) is only about the size of a large village with maybe a hundred people . The towns in skyrim are small farm villages in scale .
Cities in Skyrim are small because they needed to make the game playable on consols.
I honestly don’t think it’s a good thing for game devs to wait nearly 15 years to release a sequel. The fans of Skyrim are mostly now grown and won’t be as interested, a lot of people have moved on
AWESOME STORY IDEA:
it would be awesome to have the story revolve around uncovering the secret of the dwemer disappearance and bringing them back into the world as a playable race for the next game... and populating dwarven strongholds once again.
We will consider it
Wow, how original, super awesome
No, just no...
Please, no.
Excited to have a game to play when i retire
"This game is old enough to be in high school for crying out loud" 😢 that made me feel OLD.
I’m gonna lose my mind if I have to buy another Consol to play this

What if the Shirley Curry NPC is a recurring NPC that tells you about super powerful/dangerous weapons hidden in dungeons that she had visited in her travels. I know it probably won't be like that, but I can dream.
We’re all gonna be Skyrim grandma and grandpas by the time this game comes out.
Just to be clear, Shirley Curry is also known as the Skyrim Grandma??
Just kidding. Great video. Thank you!

I'm so happy Skyrim Grandma is going to be in the game! ❤
i love that everything in this video that is remotely interesting are theories, because the thing is, we know nothing about TES6 hopefully it will be released before 2030 but i don't believe will be as lucky, our friend todd will probably wait first to realease skyrim 15year anniversary and skyrim 20year anniversary before showing a pixel of the actual TES6, i'm pretty sure the ''trailer'' from 2018 was just made to be an excuse to keep selling to us skyrim for many more years, i love TES and i've played skyrim every fucking year since launch... but come on Todd... do something with your biggest franchise, pretty please?
