#THE ELDER SCROLLS 6 RELEASE DATE UPGRADE#
Modding in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind-even though it’s over 16 years old, modding can help smooth out and upgrade the dated visuals and gameplay elements It would be very nice to see this included as a feature at launch. This allows for that extra degree of realism in which eating, sleeping, warmth, and avoiding disease are all as important to your survival as your armor or weapon skill levels. There’s also of course potential for including a ‘survival mode’ of sorts-recently introduced to Skyrim through Bethesda’s Creation Club and something that has LONG been available in the modding community. Of course, most of these gripes can be attributed to either technological limitations or bugs, but Bethesda will presumably be working with a whole new generation of tech-allowing for an even more realistic experience with fewer necessary compromises (we hope). This was, however, counterbalanced by gravity-defying horses trotting up sheer cliffs, couriers running across the frigid province in naught but a thin tunic and hat, and epic civil war battles roughly equal in scale to a neighborhood water-balloon fight. Skyrim definitely made the biggest leap in this respect, with gorgeous visuals, more intelligent npcs, and breathtaking sound design. Having said that, asking for a little realism in our Elder Scrolls games is not too much to ask for, especially in terms of an immersive, believable experience. Now I’m fairly sure most of us can agree that-to the best of our knowledge-dragons are not real (komodo dragons don’t have wings or breathe fire, so no they don’t count).
Hopefully the 6th can find a happy medium between the series’ role-playing legacy and a game that isn’t so insanely complex that it alienates the less ‘hard-core’ players who still want a piece of this beautiful universe (I mean who can blame ‘em?).ĭragonborn on horse-back in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim-although horses are handy, the player can run virtually non-stop anyway (regardless of how flippin’ heavy that armor must be) Skyrim, by contrast, allowed your character to be less restricted (levelling up through the use of any skill at any time), and while this in itself resulted in a uniquely organic style of playing, many felt it pushed just a little too far away from the series’ RPG roots. This meant that your following playthrough would rely on a playstyle based around your class’s niche-a significant element of traditional role-playing and one that adds immense replay-ability value. From Arena (TES 1) to Oblivion (TES 4), you had to choose (or create) your own class when creating a character-choosing which skills and attributes you would specialize in. In the meantime, here are 10 things The Elder Scrolls 6 is gonna need in order to live up to (or beyond) our hopes and expectations.Ĭlass/Statistics screen from The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall-not very pretty, but it was more about ‘function’ over ‘form’ (deeper role-playing versus accessibility)ĭespite the love and universal acclaim received by Skyrim, one complaint that many fans had was that there seemed to be a gradual phasing-out of some of the series’ more in-depth role-playing mechanics for the sake of making it easier for new players to jump into.Ī major example of this was the removal of a class-system. Altogether, it’s looking like it may not be until the next console generation (whatever that may be) that we can get our hands on TES 6, but at the very least we know that it IS happening. There is also another project currently being developed at Bethesda-a new sci-fi IP called ‘Starfield’-and it appears that this will be the developer’s next release (now that Fallout 76 has left the vault).
The teaser trailer's title reveal over a nameless landscapeĬurrently, Bethesda’s stance on a release date is somewhere between ‘eventually’ and ‘beyond eventually,’ but the most recent word of the game’s development process is that it is in ‘pre-production,’ so there’s at least someone in a dark corner somewhere scratching away at a notepad.
This teaser trailer-and boy, was it ever a tease-consisted of a sweeping shot of coastal mountains and rocky plains, cues from Jeremy Soule’s brilliant soundtracks, and finally the display of the title.īut that was it. The Release Date, And 10 Features That Will Make it AwesomeĪt the Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) in 2018, fans of Bethesda Game Studios’ flagship series were given a wonderfully sweet-and simultaneously bitter-surprise: the official announcement of The Elder Scrolls VI.
