The relatively narrow focus works, and for Bethesda to return to a “galavant around the world” structure would take away their greatest strength.īethesda has never done the same location twice, and I see no reason for them to start now. Why not have Elder Scrolls V take place during the great war? Because it would require you to move all over Tamriel, that’s why. I wondered, when playing Skyrim, why Bethesda had this massive war take place before the game even started. And it was a much better game because of it. Everything was hand-crafted, everything was distinct. No more cookie-cutter towns and randomly generated NPCs. It allowed Bethesda, for the first time, to model their world in detail. But Daggerfall zoomed in the focus to High Rock and some of Hammerfell, and Morrowind zoomed in even farther to a single large island in its province.

It will take place in a single, contiguous location…Īrena took place over all of Tamriel, because – like pretty much every other game of the time – the world was not modeled in any particular detail. I’ve put some thought into this, and have found that one potential location stands head and shoulders above the rest. So when Bethesda starts thinking about Elder Scrolls VI – as they already surely are – one of the first, and most important, decisions that needs to be made is where it will take place.

Bethesda seemed to realize this, and made the geography and culture of Skyrim the central focus of the latest series incarnation. Setting makes or breaks these games I’d argue that Oblivion‘s focus on plot over developing an interesting central setting is one of the key reasons it had a considerably weaker narrative than its predecessor. While the title of Arena reflected the series’ origins as a gladiatorial combat game (before design changes that made it much more like Wizardry, the series that was the team’s chief inspiration), Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Skyrim are named after the Imperial province l in which they take place, and while Oblivion is in Cyrodiil, it is the titular plane that is most central to its plot. To say that the setting is important to an Elder Scrolls game would be both understated and blindly obvious: it’s the sole titular identifier for each game. Yet even if – as I suspect – they do just tweak and further simplify the same formula they’ve been using since Morrowind, they’ll still have one decision that requires a lot of creative thought, and I’d love to be a fly on the wall when they’re trying to hammer out this singular detail. If Bethesda wants to really push the open-world RPG forward, rather than just coasting off of the success of Skyrim, then they have a lot of difficult work ahead of them. Which is pretty much how I feel about The Elder Scrolls VI. Narrowing down the near-infinite possibilities to a single combinations of words (or just sounds) just has to be character building. I’ve always wanted to start a band, despite having little interest in making music. For a good primer, check out A Pocket Guide of the Empire, Third Edition.

All episodes in 720p quality can be found here.Note: This entry assumes some knowledge of the Elder Scrolls world. The crew working on it has some substantial history: Powerpuff Girls, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, My Life as a Teenage Robot, et al. Characterization, voice acting, writing, animation, storyboarding, music direction - all good stuff. I say that without any irony or sarcasm whatsoever.

Oh, and for those completely in the dark, the current TV cartoon My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is quite awesome and enjoyable. I wonder if Nefaria and the other pony Precocites have seen this yet. Where'd you spot it, The Escapist? And are you in compliance this time, DRB_II?

Elder Scrolls VI: Equestria would command all of my money dollars.Īnyhow, the Youtuber / MLP: Friendship is Magic superfan who made this, Yaridovich (free cookie for those who know the video game reference without Google-cheating), was pretty shocked that places like PC Gamer, Kotaku, and The Escapist picked up on it. ^- True fact: that video piqued my interest in Elder Scrolls far more than any actual Elder Scrolls clips ever have.
