Judging from the scenery it definitely seems like it's set in an arid region. Could be Elsweyr, but that region is modeled after the Serengeti. I doubt they'd turn down a chance to go full We Wuz Kangz for those sweet liberal brownie points.

Furtherthus, to neologize a neologism henceforth, Rick’s existential-ideological naysaying, which is ITSELF located within/via Althusserian/Foucauldian poststructuralism along the subversive-critical lines of various neo-Marxist-Leninist-Maoist analyses - his tacit (cf.

Not true. 'Open World' meant something more than a decade ago. Ultima Online, SWG and the likes. They all lived from player interaction without any micro transactions. What fucked these games was an increasing attempt to milk players for their shekels even more by appeasing to mainstream. Eve got fucked hard, too.
I love RPG's for their immersion (lore, music, sounds, characters) and freedom to do shit my way (not just the story, but also the gameplay itself) and not for countless hideous dialogues, although I enjoyed them in Elder Scrolls games to the point where it triggered my autism to collect every book and read ALL of them in my shiny Solitude villa. Very much like in Oblivion.
All I'm saying is, that the lore has to be solid and the open world enough possibilities and vastness to keep creative people busy with exploring, guessing and playing. Dumb fucks who need a glowing neon arrow for every step of the game and dialogues because muh felings are retards.

The problem is that those who are willing to make normal games don't get funding. And you need some considerable funding for RPG's due to the massive undertaking.
Bethesda is just doing what every company would do. Minimize the losses from the human capital (coding, designing, writing) while increasing profits by shifting their responsibilities to people that do it for free and using the profits for advertising.

Not exaclty breaking news at this point. Movies are the same. Entertainment is a reflection of the Zeitgeist, which currently consists of empowering degenerate fucks to dismantly traditional structures in order to further globalism.
You can't get globalism if you have nationalism and patriarchy. You can't get nationalism if you don't have strong families. You can't get strong families if you don't have ethnic values. And that's where the establishment & kikes are aiming at: transform everyone into a single, lonly, isolated sheep who is insecure and hides away instead of keeping shit in order.

I didn't play morrowind for the combat. The moments I remember included writing down my own alchemy recipes for a 'sun' potion I created that made a light + 999 in a 50m radius the entire screen turned white and making my own home. I had a big thing for external light items so I gathered up all the lanterns in the game and stacked them around my house. That's the thing I liked, the freedom to make the game fun for myself rather than holding my hand. In this save that I had 1K hours, I lost the package to caius cosades and never did the main quest. Game didn't give a fuck. I still killed Vivec and Almalexia.

I'm also curious what they're going to remove in terms of gameplay this time around. Every ES game released loses more and more content. We lost mysticism, we lost weapon types, we lost armor customization. I'm 90% certain there will be only uniform-style costumes that you can't mix and match, two primary weapon types, and sneakbow will be even more overpowered somehow. Say bye to merchantile/speechcraft skills and even more stale magics. Here's to the game devs making an even more complex base to add a script extender too and more forced utilities to make paid mods a thing.

People who actually believe this are /leftypol/ tier retarded. The game bends over backwards trying to make it crystal clear that the Empire will do anything to appease the Thalmor, up to and including degrading their founder/messiah figure(Thalmor offered terms! This means they were exhausted, the empire should have told them to fuck their terms), and how an openly hostile Skyrim is basically game-over for the Thalmor, who are quite busy keeping Hammerfell under control and managing their main strategic investment (the Empire).

The Thalmor need a weaker Empire in order to keep their control, so they support the Stormcloaks indirectly from the shadows so that it is easier to curbstomp everyone once the war is over and both sides are exhausted. With Skyrim out of the way they would most likely move on to subvert Hammerfell, most likely cooking up a similar civil war.

May I bring to attention the fact that the Thalmor very specifically want the fighting to continue without resolution, and that either side winning is an equally awful result for them? A sovereign Skyrim under Ulfric will create its own sphere of influence among the states around it- Hammerfell, the inevitable breakaway High Rock and Orsinium, even Morrowind as an expedience- and having asserted itself, will probably ally with the Cyrodils they just beat the piss out of to fuck the Thalmor when it comes to it. Talos worship cannot be contained. A tide of revitalizing barbarism will pour from the north to take the throne out from the hands of regency by the spooky Elder Council or whoever else, inevitably, and it won't be Ulfric sitting on the throne of the Cyrodils; Dragonborn as Stormcrown will take the fore. Very cut and dry. A great fleet will pillage the shit out of Summerset and sack the crystal cities, and the Dominion will break away/be conquered in short order.
An Empire, on the other hand, that is reasserting itself under the command of the war hero Tullius- who is actively planning for a second round with the exhausted Dominion- with the direct assistance of a Dragonborn who regardless of faction choice is still very clearly mantling Talos, this time in the form of Tiber Septim- through the pacification of Skyrim will then be able to turn its attention back towards gutting the corruption. Other states will domino back into the Empire in a wave of reconquest or reconciliation, and the Thalmor will just as in the above case be facing a revitalized Tamriel, being nowhere near ready for what's to come because Altmer birthrates are shit. Talos worship will come out from under the hood in no time at all. Cloaks will give way to daggers in the dark as agents of the elves start turning up dead in the espionage war. The empire finally goes south; the Aldmeris lose first the Dominion, and then Summerset.
It doesn't matter which you choose, ultimately. The Last Dragonborn, even tethered to Hermaeus Mora, is going to repeat the myth of Talos, become it, and rip & tear his way across Tamriel to beat the shit out of elves. Whether he starts at the very beginning of that myth (descending from Skyrim) or slightly later (kicking the shit out of the joint High Rock-Skyrim armies with the Thu'um/tactical genius until the latter joins him) is irrelevant. The entire conflict is fascism against fascism, one nativistically inclined, the other cosmopolitan-imperialist. In reality, one will obviously prefer the former, but as far as the fiction presents itself, both are positive constructions angling to fuck elves up the asshole, it's just that one is jumping off a sinking ship to make their own raft and accelerating the downfall of the original vessel, while the other is trying to bop the shit out of the raftbuilders and make them effect repairs that will save the main ship.
The Thalmor are technically correct in what they believe and pursue anyways. The universe is one big illusion consciously or unconsciously contrived by a dreamer-god, in which they are temporarily trapped with the rest of the sapient occupants, who are all figment-aspects of said dreamer with varying levels of independence and actuation. The fact that their response is a very fancifully justified metaphysical 'delet this' is no problem at all, since when, where and how the dream gets blown up and its occupants brought to wakefulness is also probably irrelevant. Now if only the whole 'supernatural grace and beauty' shit held any water with the spike-chinned dysgenic retards they send on field ops into Tamriel, an argument for them wouldn't be very hard to justify, but as it is they are (((elven))) shits and I can't help but think Skyrim in particular is a eugenic dumping ground for the worst dregs of Summerset; assuming the 'nine out of ten children killed for defects' figure in the Pocket Guide wasn't polemic misinformation, and it's still exaggerated if not, I imagine that policy has been artfully bent to get boots on the ground to fight and spy upon men. Sure, they're filthy dumb 9/10 scum, but they can still hold a sword and have par wits with men while the shadowy perfect Aldmer at home run the show from afar.

You make some good points, although I think you over-estimate the empire's will to fight, given that it's a snake-pit of political infighting and corruption. Even according to Daggerfall's intro the empire is a weak, decadent and failing state, and an aspect of Talos himself (Wulf) declares that the empire is more or less ready to die, in Morrowind.

The Dragonborn isn't mantling anything. His sole job was to collect soul shards of Akatosh.

>And speaking of Talos, I don't think it's obvious that the Dragonborn is mantling Talos, what makes you so sure?
Very first stretch of Talos' story; he goes into Skyrim from the faraway land of Atmora (for the PC, some faraway in Tamriel), learns how to fight real good, and descends down from Skyrim into Cyrodil (likely postgame; could also be fulfilled by the player being in the midst of Cyrodil's legions.) From here he ends up in the service of the Colovian warlord King Cuhlecain (High King Ulfric,) who has ambitions of empire, and ravages his enemies as a loyal vassal and his best general. That'd be the Stormcloak path; it would likely lead on to Cuhlecain-Ulfric's death, the Dragonborn rising to his seat, and the conquest of the whole of Tamriel begins.
Now, after the point we leave off on for the Stormcloaks, was when Talos went back up to Skyrim to face the armies of Skyrim and High Rock (the Stormcloaks.) He beat their asses raw with the Thu'um (you beat their asses raw with the Thu'um) at which point the men of Skyrim recognized him as their own (the Nords that aren't diehards or are willing to bend the knee, perhaps sensing the precedent set) while the men of High Rock were not playing with this shit (Stormcloaks to the end) and saw fit to assassinate King Cuhlecain and attempt to kill Talos as well, the would-be assassin slitting his throat.
Now, Tullius is quite alive, and it would be very cheap to extrapolate that he would die as the Cuhlecain analogue like Ulfric simply because he's the opposite faction liason; rather, I would note that the Dark Brotherhood questline sees a slightly more symbolic Cuhlecain die in the form of the Emperor Titus Mede II; with him, the Mede dynasty is extinguished and the lands of Cyrodil they reigned over heirless. Who, now, is very personally at the head of her armies? Who is holding the banner? Who speaks the Thu'um? Who's bound to get a throat slitting from a Thalmor agent for being the living, breathing worst case scenario of their 'erase the Lorkhan myth' world demanifestation plan? You get where I'm going with this.
Of course, >>14988931 might be correct and the Dragonborn is just going to fuck off into nowhere with the worst knotted tie-offs of any plot threads possible and the rest left hanging as he proceeds to be the least fitting and eventful Shezzarine ever (how long is anyone going to buy the 'stabbed the living death-aspect of Akatosh in the face' story before it's rendered as farce and folklore if he doesn't do anything else? 'All guild quests canon,' which means for the most part someone else is doing all but one of them, and the Dragonborn's about to up and disappear!) but that's no fun to theorize on. What'd he even do that was Lorkhan-like beside the Talos bits? We can't just say he's a Shezzarine, but isn't doing anything to emulate Lorkhan directly or indirectly. I'm very partial to the Talos mold, obviously.

They're nazi jews, essentially. Read the Rising Threat book series for a primer on them.
The Stormcloaks are a ragtag group of Nords, and Ulfric is shortsighted and foolish(trying to court High Rock as one single entity, ignoring the Dark Elves and orcs(though there are hints in the game files that he would have recruited Giants to his cause), murders occurring inside of his city's walls and Daedra death cults right outside in the hills).
But they're miles ahead of the corrupt and infiltrated Imperial government, still. Especially since it's become headless with the assassination of the Mede Emperor. Their racial and nationalistic tendencies make them difficult to spy upon with khajiit and bosmer spies, their strong morale and morals makes it difficult to subvert and demoralize them, they have the terrain advantage that keeps them safe from attacks from all directions. They're economically pretty stable, as no mention is ever made of food or sundries being shipped in. They have iron, silver and ebony mines and forging infrastructure.
Overall, as long as they can get Skyrim united within a couple of years, it should become a safe haven for Talos worshipers from Cyrodiil. Hell, Titus Mede should have told them to fucking secede when he signed the White-Gold Concordat, since it would have allowed Talos worshipers to flee north while allowing Imperial supporters to come south and join the legion without the Thalmor having authority to fuck around there. But no, I think I he was too blinded by his need of the un-broken province being able to pay taxes to rebuild Cyrodiil.
Fucking globalist, in other words.

Hm. I get where you're coming from, why one wouldn't like the protagonist to simply disappear, and I appreciate cyclical history, that's like some timewave zero shit. That said, I think it's pretty much assumed canon that the protag/shezzarine/whatever just fucks off when they're done. Consider the Champion, some berk crawls out of the Imperial sewers and pushes Jagar Tharn's shit in. Jagar is arguably responsible for the biggest shitstorm in Tamriel since Talos was doing his thing. So you can't just have this guy wandering around toppling states or genociding the orcs or whatever the fuck he might get up to. So the divines or Lorkhan or whatever encourage him get scarce. As an aside, I don't think

Aldmeri megagnostics with a plan. That plan is to use their state, its puppets, its espionage network and its military to acquire or project the resources necessary to smash the various foundation stones of creation- the Towers- so that it all goes up in a puff of smoke, freeing them from being eternally cucked by Lorkhan's Nirn project, by materiality, mortality, reincarnation cycles, and not being totally free shapeshifting spirits floating in undefined conceptual space. One of those foundation stones is Man, who is himself an extension of Lorkhan, which is why they're so bent on eradicating Talos on the conceptual level; if they can eliminate the Lorkhan-Talos-Tiber-whatever archetype from living memory, they eliminate man, and vice-versa. If they do that and the other Towers are no longer in existence, they get to skip out on the existence they utterly despise as preventing them from reaching true, literal perfection, the Ideal, which is what the entirety of Aldmeri culture is built around. Really, if the other side wasn't so appealing, with Bethesda hackery additionally rendering the ingame Thalmor as heinous cartoon villains with fucked up faces, I'd be entirely on board. Instead, I'll be a dirty apologist for all sides and make no commitments.

You know, that's a point. Lorkhan is Padomaiac in nature, which is to say he is the IS-NOT; the potential, the uncreated, the undefined, the non-static. Ironically, this would mean that the Aldmer's desire is thoroughly Padomaiac, in spite of their unabiding hatred of Lorkhan who is his son, and the world that Lorkhan made being comparatively Anuic in nature to primordial chaos, which is to say that it IS, firmly defined, in relative stasis, as an object of creation.

Really hoping the leveling mechanics take mostly after Skyrim's again. Going back to a system similar to previous games would be too huge a mistake. Please do not do this Bethesda.
I think the most ideal system they can do is a tweaked version of Skyrim where you still can only level 3 real stats again. So health, magicka and stamina. This time though with each level up you can distribute a bunch of points how you like instead of picking only one of the stats. So rather then getting +10 and choosing one stat, you can distribute that +10 across the 3 stats if you wanted.
Keep the skills system from Skyrim but greatly reduce the perks available with each skill. Skyrim had too much redundant perks that weren't necessary or could have been implemented into other perks to make each skill more attractive to use. Also no more capping out or limiting how much perks you can take. Allow a person to pick any perks from the skills they want. In addition we can gain all the perks by playing long enough.
I really liked the Skyrim system and felt it was going in the right direction. This is what TES needs so no autistic leveling systems again please.

Next time at least read before posting.
"Pansexual" was created by trans/tumblr people because they wanted their own term about people fucking them.
But that term in itself is a contradiction, because it means that "trans" aren't considered real man or woman (like they want), so they are excluded from bi.
You either want to fuck something with a phallus appendix or don't, so "pansexual" is a useless concept.
If you continue to use that term, you are promoting tumblr/sjw culture.

They are different people whose only disadvantage for being a fate driven hero is that the scrolls will erase their identity after they "finished the job".
Like:
- the Hero of Arena lived and died as an averange joe (probably the best fate since nothing ass fucked him/her).
- the Agent from Daggerfall probably retried after the timeline was fucked up by his Emperor. (worst case: he/she got erased as well)
- the Nerevarine traveled to Akavir (worst case: trapped there and unable to die)
- the CoC became a semi-daedra (worst case: Uncle Sheo completely take over)
- the Dragonborn living as a tool of Mora (worst case: living as a butt-slave of Mora)
The main point with the Scrolls is that they always mark an unfortunate fuck to do the dirty work for them, and after that the curse fucking them over oneway or another. this is one of the reason why the stormcloak faggot isn't right the other is that Bethesda always fucking over the previous games region and Skyrim wouldn't be an expection Only young new faggots don't know this nearly 20 years old gimmick from Todd and his co.

Hammerfell probably has a special place in his heart. In any case, a mostly arid region that is not as inhabited so they can add that settlement builder shit from Fallout 4 (and even have a water-based economy), a mostly empty country so they don't have to put much effort into making that many cities, plenty of dwarven ruins for the dwemer fans since the country was pretty much a dwemer country beforehand, and a chance for a Stros M'Kai DLC filled with Redguard easter eggs, and finally sword singing will be turned into Elder Scrolls Jedi/Star Wars shit because Todd loves Star Wars. Add that it is filled with blacks and they will want their own version of Black Panther/Wakanda hype that the media has been spinning, all a few years afterwards so they won't look like they are trying to bandwagon (when they really are), and Hammerfell seems pretty likely. Also, I think it is smaller than Skyrim so Bethesda is probably getting hard at how small they can make the map.

In all honesty we can assume the DB would side with the Stormcloaks. For his "canon" look is a blue eyed male nord with dark hair with the classic iron armor thus he is very stereotypical for a nord which we could assume would be more pro-"muh skyrim belong to the nord".

If you imply that within the context of that scene then go fuck yourself again.

Oblivion looked nothing like it was supposed to, Beth could set it anywhere.

Actually now that you mention it, I almost wonder if they would go for Morrwind: Mainland Edition. I still think Hammerfell is most likely though.

People praise it a lot but its basically with ups and downs. And for me those downs were in the fucking Mariana Trench and it blue-balls you left and right. If you can stomach horrid pace i guess you could try it.

Eh, anything over 30 episodes has to be 99% amazing for me to even consider watching. I mostly like OVAs and shorter series.
Polite sage for being way the fuck off topic.

The story of what inspired the Elder Scrolls setting is mystical as fuck. Todd is a greenpill if the rumors are true, which is basically a right wing hippy that knows the mystical memes. They don't want to go back to the 1950s America, but antediluvian civilization.
Bethesda is biblical name meaning healing bathhouse, his games being filled with porn mods ins't an accident.
He obviously read the Vedas, knows hermetics and probably has a set of the Secret Doctrine in the office.
