What do YOU expect in the next Elder Scrolls Game?

Hello there, it's that one weird twelve year old that loves Elder Scrolls...
well, yeah. I'm just wondering what you guys would be looking for in the next Elder Scrolls game... whether it be an RPG, MMO, Etc... Or maybe even an... RTS?! >.<

I'm thinkin' it would be somewhat like this:


After the loss of the King, with no apparent heir in TES:IV, the land of Cyrodiil had to turn to enemies for help. With the main character, someone who had immigrated to <Insert Country Here>, along with their family, they live there without any interruptions for around... 2 years. After so long, the father gets stricken by an illness, dying, leaving the family to fend for itself.

The mother sends the child (at around 14 years old) to go and work to raise money, but as they are gone, the mother goes out to feed the families dog. The dog bites the mother, but little does the mother know, the dog has... PORPHYRIC HEMOPHILIA!!?!

As the child comes home, the mother is well aware of her turning in to a vampire now, she strikes the child, and runs in to the corridor and locks her self there. The child, now homeless, needs to fend for himself.

Then the child goes out to the market, and sleeps under a little shrub. When they wake up, they are greeted by strange Scientists, of whom take the child in for further research on an experiment they are making. The Scientists are actually Dwemer (Long Extinct Race) of whom are scientists under command of Hammerfell.

(The Science Laboratory like stage will work as a tutorial for the character.)

As the child progresses, they age (Kind of like in Fable.)

After the young adult, Around 24 years of age, finds out that the government was using them, they rebel, and all of Tamriel finds out. All the different Provinces quickly turn on each other at this time of war, and the character has to choose which side to allign with, as this changes the course of the game.

Every where it says "Child", or "They", replace with <Insert Character Name Here>

*Whistles* Look at how much I wrote!


I think TES:V will include...

• An open map of Tamriel, allowing the character to fully explore ALL provinces of Tamriel, but on some, they would have to take a boat or some other kind of transportation to get to another province.

• More Cults/Guilds, like a Vampire Cult, a Lycanthrope (Werewolf), Daedric Cults, Hunting Guild, Alchemy Guild, etc.

• Co-Op? I've seen lots of people talking about an MMO for it, but that wouldn't really be able to work. I mean, traveling somewhere, only to have 2,000,000 pickpocketed? >.< Not the Half-Assed Co-Op (Although I don't really think you can call it co-op, due to the lack of... well, the actual character. BURN!!) of Fable II, but like, actual co-op.

• More, and more realistic, gore, well, basically a much better combat system. behing able to stab someone with a dagger, and being able to actually see the blood and the wound on the person. Being able to decapitate people. Being able to shoot arrows in to a person's leg to cripple them.

• More skills, and skills have more meaning. I mean, your a master at blacksmithing, yet you can't make a steel boot?

• Being more immersive. Like Yahtzee said on the review of Oblivion on Zero Punctuation! Oblivion is not that immersive. Smaller UI, No more of that stupid Speechcraft Bubble, etc.

• NPC's actually react to you differently if you were much more infamous.

• FIXED LEVELING. It's quite weird how all the wolves suddenly become spriggans...

• Different NPC's, Creatures and Economy depending on which province you are in.

• If you commit a crim in one region/city, that doesnt automatically move to a nother city 200 miles away.

• Better Guards. They don't show up if you murder someone silently.

• NPC's react on you if they find out what factions you are in. Those at the Paladin's Guild wouldn't really allow you in if Sithis was your best friend...

• Much More...

Comments and stuff are welcome. I'd love to see what you think it will be. :w00t:

Re: What do YOU expect in the next Elder Scrolls Game?

Those all look good. Something i'd like to see is that guards don't have "crime sense". I have 232 speed on my pc, I can outrun anything in the game, yet a guard can track me for like 10 mins after i've ran across the game and back? Its like you get shot with a tracker arrow by a guard with a sword.

Items that either level WITH you, or have an actual req to get. If you get Dawnfang at level 2, its useless, yet you HAVE to do the quest to get it if you want to continue in the SI DLC. But if you wait and get to 30, the DLC is like a cakewalk.

I like the idea of more guilds. I also think they should be included in the main storyline instead of being completely optional except for achievements.

Should be more races/better birthsigns. I can't stand to LOOK at some races, let alone play as them. Also should be more useful Birthsigns, like Shadow for instance, Invis for 60 secs is easily outdone by 120 sec invis spells that aren't on a 24 hour cd.

I liked the Fallout 3 "Cripple" system. If I shoot someone in the leg with my bow, they shouldn't be able to keep charging at me. If I shoot someone in the hand, they shouldn't be able to swing their weapon...


ALSO, I can't remember where I read this but I HEARD that TES5 was being considered as an MMO.

In the Next Elder Scroll's game I would like.
- Good gameplay.
- Good graphics.
- Good story.

So basically, the opposite of Oblivion

I agree that the story of Oblivion was kind of... mediocre, but the gameplay and graphics were great! Well... not really the graphics, but hey, it came out in '06. The Gameplay was superb in my opinion. You had so much to do. Sure, some of the animations are a little clunky, but now Bethesda knows what the gamers want. I'm sure the next Elder Scrolls game will be awesome. Hopefully it doesn't have Crysis graphics... My rig cannot handle that...

Re: What do YOU expect in the next Elder Scrolls Game?

why would the dog have the vampire disease. If anything it should have sanis Lupinus(werewolf disease). i agree they should bring back vampire clans and werewolves as well as all of tamriel to explore. If you don't know what games these were in before they were in Arena, Daggerfall and Morrowind.

Re: What do YOU expect in the next Elder Scrolls Game?

Three things:
- Tatas at atleast Zoey level...
- Stuff...

 

[Trawgdor]

Re: What do YOU expect in the next Elder Scrolls Game?

That's only two Firis. XD

And that is true that the dog would have sanis Lupis or whatever instead. It shouldn't be called Sanis Lupis though. Shouldn't it be Lycanthrope or something instead?

Ugh, I viewed a profile and lost my entire post. Bare with me.

I would love if the next Elder Scrolls used an aging system. I like the idea of starting the story off as a young teen, progressing into adult hood and eventually becoming elderly. I believe the best way to use the aging system would be through completing the main quest. In other words, as you progress through the main quest, you age.

As Jakuro mentioned, I LOVED the Fallout 3 cripple system and it would be great to see that incorporated into the new Elder Scrolls game. It would add much more realism.

I think that choosing a birth sign and a race should not just help with your attributes. I think each story should begin differently according to which race is chosen. I would be way more apt to play through the game more than once this way. For example, choosing a Redguard would begin your quest in one area while starting as a Khajiit would start it in a different area.

Re: What do YOU expect in the next Elder Scrolls Game?

i want it to have a party system so you and 3 friends go out cave looting and stuff. The Leveled enemies would be the sum of all players in the party.........................
and so would the loot!!!!!

Re: What do YOU expect in the next Elder Scrolls Game?

Having it like RuneScape or WoW would be cool. You can see other players. Make it so in settings you can have Online or Offline mode. Like Fable.
