Maybe the next TES is a stand alone section of ESO - same character creation screen - so use your ESO tunes - but the region is standalone (installed on your PC or console) so a single player zone. They could even take a multi player zone and overlay a single player standalone; separate story line and missions.

New players are given a glimpse of ESO and existing ESO players have a choice of which region to play - on-line or offline - depending on how they felt at the time.

Dwemer won't be solved in this game because 1000 years later in skyrim, people still have no clue what's happened to them.

They might reveal that in the next TES game and I do think the next TES game will happen, in Summerset Isles.

Mainly due to the Thalmor situation in the future and the fact that it hasn't even been rumoured for ESO. I think it's being saved for TES 6



On your point about leaving Tamriel, I doubt it. We haven't even see Elsewyr or Black Marsh properly yet. Why should we see another continent?

Why can't both happen?

There will be TES VI for sure. Skyrim earned them hundreds of millions of $$$. Pretty sure TES VI will come 2018 or 2019 and will have Summerset, Hammerfall or Elsweyr as setting.

When i think of TESV1 i think of what kind of super computer it will take to run it. I upgraded my PC to run ESO on close to max settings and that's the last time i'm upgrading my PC to play a new game.

Fallout and TES are the lynch pins of Bethsoft. However, I do like their approach towards the two franchises. They take their time and they respect/listen to their employees when they say they would like to take a break and work on something else. As Todd Howard has said, Bethesda isn't in the business of punching out a new Fallout or TES game every two years like some other developers who are dependent upon pumping out a new game for a particular franchise to keep the profits *cough* CoD and AC *cough*. I'd much rather wait 4+ years and play a great game with hundreds of hours of gameplay and replay value over a released mediocre product because it's been a certain amount of time since the last release.

But veering back on topic, I'd assume that ZoS would first fill out most of Tamriel missing zones before branching off to other continents. Since Yokuda is underwater and the game engine has quite a few limitations in that regard, I think that ZoS might start off with the smaller islands of Atmora, Thras, Pyandonea, maybe even Aldmeris (although lore wise that's still uncertain). They might keep Akavir up their sleeves for a scenario in which they are really struggling with a shrinking player base or something along those lines.

I saw an interview where it was stated the there will be an ES VI. But they don't want to do just another story. They want every ES game to be ground breaking. They have some ideas that they want to do but it will likely take the next gen consoles to do it.

So long story short don't expect anything till ps5 or Xbox(make up number) is released.

Skyrim sold 20 million retail copies. That translates to over $1 billion dollars worth of revenue. Apparently it took $85 million for development and advertising, so Bethesda made a cool $ 1 billion profit on Skyrim.

And those figures are 4 years old. I am sure more copies have been sold since then.

If Bethesda was a public company they would have had a hard time explaining to shareholders why they haven't released another installment of the ES series given the enormous profitability of the last game. But since they are private they can take their time.

However, I think you would have to have a lunatic running the company to terminate the series. They are just into other things at the moment.

I have a feeling that ESO won't explore anything outside of what the ES series has explored with it's single player games. I think it would erode the hype of a new single player experience if it has been seen before, and the single player experience is the real cash cow for Bethesda.

ESO has explored lots of areas not covered in earlier games, All of the AD zones for one, and Daggerfall is hardly an good representation for DC since its so old.
Shadowfern is also unique.
In fact the ESO team had to invent lots of stuff, any sources for Khajiit funiture styles?
And its lots of zones in tamriel to cover,

Don.t even need to read past the title, I will assume no such thing.

i read it somewhere, some are saying Hammerfell, wait for offical announcment in 2018 or later by November this year.

I'd like to see other areas, but only after they complete Tamriel. I really want to see that map complete.

They've (Bethesda Game Studios) said it's the third of three projects they're working on, so don't expect any TES6 before, I dunno, probably like 2020. And to answer the question, I would love to see something take place outside of Tamriel, provided they could make it fit with the lore. I think since all of Tamriel has been pretty well documented and most parts even explored over the years, it would be great to get into some new biomes and environments provided by a whole new landmass or continent. Plus, imagine the story potential of new landmasses. They have a lot to work with, considering that they get to make up whatever they want (cause fiction is cool like that), and they don't have to necessarily be bound by lore and history created for Tamriel. I welcome the potential of the future.

we had "Shivering Isles" for Oblivion, would like to see it again in ESO's new DCL and get any 1 random daily quest after completed.
we already seen Oblivion Gate realm with sea of blood, and we already have Molag Bal's dark floating land in planar zone in this ESO.

Skyrim's Vvardenfall Hermaemus Nora's Apocrypha the library of book secrets realm, we saw that.
Hericine's Hunting ground, small part we had explore, but there more we hadnt seen or fully explored.

we hadnt seen Azura's Moonshadow realm, was told it was too exotic to describe.
Beothiah's realm seem to made up of plane of arena type and full of laybrinth mazes
Vaermina's realm of bad dreams and evil nightmares, known as Quamire

will finish other unless if anyone want to fill in, i am barely awake, getting very sleepy this so soon.

Seeing how dumbed down and streamlined both skyrim and fo4 were, i couldnt care less for an upcoming tes6.

You can bet your ass it will have loads of paid mods integrated into the base game. A 4 choice dialogue system. Character build flexibility options that would make skyrim blush. A playable land mass even smaller than skyrim because production cost limits in regards to AAA titles (there was FAR more playable space in tes3 than tes5)

A shoehorned building sim fully fleshed out on its own will be in the game, and they will add a loot crate system that you use creation club currency to buy crates in hopes of getting various random swag items to deck out your villiage off on an island as part of a side story.

Honestly, i could go on but i wont. Im in the minority but i wad not inpressed with tes5 or fo4 and i wont be for tes6 to be sure. There is a very sad very real necessary evil truth that exists in the upper end of the video games industry. A necessity that compelety disallows the creative freedom, complexities and depth that that i want from an rpg to exist beyond a mid budget / indie produced game.

Cd projekt red's cyberpunk is the last vestige of hope i have in a big budget rpg without the compromise of attracting the largest target demographic as possible.
