(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok. The previous Elder Scrolls (Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion) was released in 2006, so I'm thinking that it's about time that Bethesda start working on the latest in the franchise. It hasn't been announced, but rumour has it that the team started on Elder Scrolls V as Oblivion hit Platinum and got GOTY. I don't know if it is true, but it would make sense. So, I would like to know your ideas and opinions on the matter, and if you think the same as I, that a new Elder Scrolls game will be released or developed soon, post what you think the game will be like. As in, what province will the new game be set in, Skyrim? Sumerset Isle?

That's the one thing the Elder Scrolls series always brought to gaming that other games did not: Freedom. The ability to buy houses, clothes, and other basic essentials, even if they had no relevance to the gameplay.

I'd imagine if there were to be another Elder Scrolls game, they would surprise us with even more freedom, giving us the ability to purchase and do other things in which were still restricted in the previous titles.

Damn right, not even Fallout, which is SUPPOSED to be better (which it isn't) can't even compare to the amount of freedom in The Elder Scrolls. In Fallout can you join a guild of thieves? Fallout is more of a game where you escape out of a metallic hole filled with crazy, into an open world where you just trapse around and around until you find something or somewhere, you get a quest, then you keep trapsing around not knowing where to go or what to do. But The Elder Scrolls is filled to the brim full of things to keep you occupied, but will reward you aswell, and everything intervenes with the main plot of the story. What people think of you is based on your Fame or Infamy. It is so ingeneus and it is amazing.
But there is one thing that would really disappoint me if they didn't include it in a new Elder Scrolls. I want another Adoring Fan that I can kill if he gets on my nerves!
A thing that is additionally funny is that the Adoring Fan looks like one of my school friends!

Ah, yes, the adoring fan. I think it would be nice, especially in a remake of Arena, if actually crowds of fans would originate as you become better and better. Not just random crowds with no relevance, but crowds with characters in which follow you, and that you can actually talk to, unlike many games where the characters are merely there, but are better than talking to the wall.

I think it would add a new aspect of realism to the gaming world.

Speaking of which, that is the thing that makes Elder Scrolls so unique: Their ability to create realistic human behaviors in a non-human world.

Most of all, though, I'd like a new enemy. Whereas the daedric are amusing, I'm becoming rather sick of them, as they are the primary enemy in both Morrowind and Oblivion. I believe it is time for the rise of a new enemy.

Perhaps, if the setting were to be in the Black Marsh, you would take the side of the Argonians in overthrowing their slave-owners?

If you know enough about the history of Tamriel, there really are endless possibilities for games.

Yeah totally agree with you there mate. Perhaps instead of being one main plot or storyline, there could be a main storyline for each different province. That would be totally amazing. If they made a remake of Arena, then that would be great. But if they developed a new Elder Scrolls game... then as time is going on more people are exploringto find maybe some new provinces with new races, in my opinion that would be an amazing game. Oh and about how you said their ability to create so lifelike characters with their behaviour, that is the biggest difference betwwen The Elder Scrolls and ANY other RPG game. The Elder Scrolls have characters who actually have their own routines, and get on with things even if your on the other side of the map, they the most real characters in any game.

Well on PC... I forgot about mods... It wouldnt really be fair to make them turn off all their mods, because that can screw shit up... but if they have em... yah...

ES 4 was one of the most epic games ever.....
i think if they made a ES5 with up to date graphics, more freedom like Schaff said and not forgetting about being able to buy a house and all those other good things would be great

what if you could create your own guild?? and you could go around from territory to territory rampaging all the settlements???
that would be amazing

If it's anything like oblivion it'll be the bomb. But it needs online, an above post said arena so I say that sounds pretty durn good.

Oh. Well, I haven't been following Bethesda very closely, evidently. I certainly do support the idea of there being a remake of Arena or Daggerfall, but I think I'd like an original game more.

If I'm not mistaken, Daggerfall was quite extensive, as they generated most of the world. Oblivion took the opposite path, paying attention to detail and designing the dungeons with individuality in mind. I would love a Daggerfall remake, but it would probably be a much smaller game and probably not practical if they took the same approach as they did in Oblivion.

Online play would be a brilliant feature.
