With Kuhlman being fired before pre production started things are off to sn excellent start.
That being said I believe Microsoft will force Hammerfell as a setting for the woke points so abandon hope.
weed out the fake programmers from the real ones
Behead Emil
Todd Howard is fired unless he comes to work everyday as a catboy and refers to me only as Senpai. And Emil Pagliarulo and the rest of his bloodline is detained and executed for crimes against humanity.
Immediately remove all tedious base building bullshit.
bad take.
Write New Lore where all the Redguards die out and move the game to be set in Black Marsh.
You probably don't even know anything about Argonian lore
If you wanna talk about argonian lore just say so homosexual.
If you knew anything about TES lore you'd know Redguards are way more interesting than liggers
even if redguards were actual arabs instead of monkeys they'd still be boring
> Redguards are fascinating.
You vote dem don't you. Everybody on the left worships Black folks.
>The heckin' hooding woah, they sidestepped dimensions and killed Elves ... they're so FREAKING. EPIC!
>They're black and arabs? Wholesome! *kneels*
>"Black Panther Power, brothers" - Michael Kirkbride
Yeah ... no thanks, think that's a bad idea for a game in the modern day. I'll stick to Liggers.
>they sidestepped dimensions and killed Elves
Yes.
Have you?
Didn't think so.
Na, that's sloplore that only someone who frequented Reddit would enjoy.
>no fun allowed
you can preorder the last of us part IX in the other thread
anon liggers are the chinks of TES.
redguards are arabs with black skin and japanese samurai culture.
i'd rather play a game set in blackwashed weeaboo tripoli than bejing full of literal cold-blooded subhumans.
>redguards are arabs with black skin and japanese samurai culture
reddit as frick
Why do Americans worship black and brown people so much?
jews have overloaded them with so much propaganda that they can't face the reality that blacks, particularly black americans, are bad people.
says the euroid through the swarm of imported muslim "refugees"
Just the left leaning ones.
>THE HECKIN REPTILIANS THEY ARENT EVEN A HUMAN RACE JUST BIPEDAL HUMANOIDS WITH SCALES AND HORNS WHICH IS TOTALLY UNIQUE AND ALIEN

>EVEN THOUGH THEY OVERWHELMINGLY LIVE IN POVERTY AND ARE PREDISPOSED TO crime AND THEIR HOMELAND IS A SERIES OF MUD HUTS THEY DEFINITELY ARE NOT AKIN TO Black folk
>ALSO I jerk off TO SCALIE PORN BTW JUST FELTL IKE MENTIONING IDK IF IT WAS RELEVANT BUT I JUST FELT LIKE LETTING EVRYONE KNOW
cope
redgvards won
Most lizardgays either don't know about or don't like Hist lore since It gets in the way of their scaly fetish though, all they know is the Oblivion Crisis thing and the invasion thing (both Hist accomplishments btw, lizards themselves have literally nothing)
Does Hammerfell have an subterranean higway system you use by getting absorbed by worms?
No it just has Black folks. That is enough for left leaning Americans.
WE
I don't care about the lore, so it's not relevant. I'd prefer making a kino game with a sense of adventure than sticking to some gay lore that some moron wrote. There's Hist trees that can exercise some control over Argonians, there's a political faction that hates outsiders running the show, the swamp diseases fricking destroy non-Argonians, there's Imperial ruins on the outskirts of Argonia by the Nibenay and there used to be ancient metallic skinned humans living in the province. That's enough "lore" to sort a game out.
they're lusty and they'll work n jerk you like no other
ditch the creation engine
khajitties
i finally make the long awaited sequel to morrowind
That would be Starfield.
there is no race more cringe than argonians. everyone who likes this race are without any exception, autistic scalies
you're just mad that my giantess argonian gf swallowed you alive
t. Dagon
This picture would be accurate if instead of "Argonians" It said "Hist"
You don't credit your bullet when you kill someone with a gun
See, scalies don't know shit about their own lore, but then again they would be treegays if they did, not lizardgays.
innacurate pic
Make it generic as possible. Outsource to thirdworlders and use ChatGPT to write the story, dialogue, and quests.

How to tell me you hate TES without telling me you hate TES.
it's funny because that was Todd Howard's first instinct
Good thing he isn't an idiot and made a proper game.

hahahahahahahahahahahaahah
The adventure games are irrelevant in every sense of the word.
this game was actually good
It set the precedent for Morrowind, it's apparent with the House Redoran symbol appearing in the game, the comic that came with the game and so on.
The adventure games are irrelevant in every sense of the word.
What you said may be true but at best it is an interesting footnote in TES history.
At worst a piece of worthless trivia.
It is what it is anyhow, Bethesda acknowledged Cyrus in later games, it was the game that paved the way for Dwemer ruins functioned and much more. It's canon shaped the Elder Scrolls lore regardless of the games ultimate deviation and irrelevance from the rest of the Elder Scrolls franchise.
I butchered that sentence. Anyhow, it's also the first game in the Elder Scrolls franchise to have had three-dimensional object rotation, which Todd pulled to Skyrim.
Redguard elevates Todd into someone worthwhile and stabilished the modern TES setting, it's objectively pretty fricking important
Redguard selling less than 50k copies is part of the reason Morrowind needed to be a hit.
The adventure games are irrelevant in every sense of the word.
Okay? We're not talking about sales are we? Redguard was the debut game of the TES setting as it exists today. It was the game that introduced Tiber Septim's current backstory, Imperials as a race, the basic detailed history and culture of every other non-redguard race, the Sload, the maormer, the other continents, concepts like the Thu'um, the Hist, The Wild Hunt, etc. It is objectively an extremely influential game for the Elder Scrolls as a setting, it's not up to debate.
We are talking about relevance. The sales numbers are just one indication of how irrelevant the adventure games are.
Nobody cares about them at all.
Didn't the Pocket Guide get the description of Cyrodil wrong?
How exactly? It was purposefully different from Arena/Daggerfall Cyrodiil, which was just a giant empty grass field with one single city in the middle, had no native race or culture of its own and wasn't even called Cyrodiil, and obviously the writers of the PGE couldn't predict the future to know that Todd would want to cash in on LoTR being big at the time.
And even then, modern Cyrodiil still takes after PGE Cyrodiil more than anything, with its history, the fact that the Nibenay and Colovia divide still exists even If much more subtle, the fact that it's not just called "The Imperial Province", the fact its got more than one settlement, moth priests, blades and other Akaviri descendants, and the fact it's still inhabited by its own race. PGE 1 Cyrodiil wasn't a botany book on jungle flora y'know, contrary to purposefully reductive shitposters may tell you.
Nibenese culture is barely existing in Oblivion as we play sadly, and the sprawling isles for the Imperial City were much more interesting than the small ring that became the final design.
Didn't it have Samurai with giant Katanas patrolling the Imperial City? Far to weeb to be acceptable in a proper game.
The Blades are still there y'know
And Dai-Katanas, and therefore bodyguards who wield them, are still a thing in-lore, just off-screen, unless bethesda has at some point officially explained that every single spear and japanese weapon that doesn't belong to the Blades or the Cult of the Ancestor moth got poofed away by a dragon break or something at some point between the events of Morrowind and Oblivion
> They are still there you just can't see them.
Well ok then.
>the protagonist is racelocked to the Bosmer

New, modern engine that is modder friendly. Any development done on CE/Gamebryo will be reworked for the new engine no matter how much longer development and workflow will take.

>southern half of hammerfell conquered by dominion
>altmer genociding redguards on sight is new key lore
>meanwhile empire is collapsing off-screen
Fire everyone at Bethesda and sell the IP to a competent studio for millions, then retire.
I would continue the theme of decay and crumbling by making the empire be dissolved after a second great war and tamriel entering a dark age. The setting will be hammerfell and high rock with a coalition of human armies fighting remnants of the aldmeri dominion. The ending will culminate in the actual end of the world and the beginning of the next kalpa where your actions can influence the reshaping of the next world
This sounds fine as long as I can ally with the Thalmor (or Altmer in general). Bethesda has always had a huge issue with railroading. Felt strange as frick trying to RP as an Altmer supremacist in Skyrim and being forced to thwart your own agenda at every turn. They really dislike you being evil. The farthest it ever goes is something like the Dark Brotherhood.
They don't let you joing factions that are going to lose.
Dorkoth Dur
Manky Canoham
Thalmorons
All destined to lose.
based
coping human vermin
What exactly am I coping with?
Those groups all are going to lose. They are all merrish so not seeing why human races would be upset.
Actually I'm fine with the thalmor being able to win as an option, but only because it backfires and just creates a kalpa where the altmer become more like lowly spirits akin to humans and orcs as punishment from the gods
Easier just to have them be the latest merrish group to act up and get put back in their place.
It has worked everytime before so if it ain't broke don't fix it
Blow all the budget on virgin 18 year old prostitutes, hard drugs and gambling, then kys myself.
Focus on replayability rather than a never ending save file. Your character is built at the start of the game like morrowind and oblivion, you assign stats and skills. More emphasis on racial bonuses to make them all play differently and certain questlines should lock you out of other factions to encourage more playthroughs.
Radiant AI was viewed as a failed experiment and greatly simplified in skyrim, I would devote a team to working on this mechanic. NPCs should have full schedules and hidden stats like responsibility and disposition, allow the world to play out and for stupid stuff to happen.
Have a toggle to make quest NPCs killable (while giving a classic pop up like in morrowind that tells says you fricked up) this will allow players to say "frick it" and obliterate important NPCs that annoy them while preventing a failstate acheived by accident.
Most importantly: release a creation kit at the same time you release the game, pay attention to what mods are most popular and what features players want. Pay the modders if you're to rip off their ideas or even better offer cash incentives for competitions for certain mod categories. Stop viewing mods as another way to generate cashflow and let them be a tool that keeps you in touch with the community.
> Replayability
This isn't the 90s anymore. You don't need to use gimmicks to pad play nowadays.
this all sounds great. I hate how they catered to the idiots who want to do everything on 1 character as they follow some youtube checklist to get the achievement points. Those sorts of people should never be catered to for ANYTHING.
>Want Black Marsh because feel like the province would be more interesting to explore
>American Redguard worshippers instantly start thinking about sex and screaming "scalie"
Interesting ... so, does that mean they want Hammerfel because it's full of Black Men?
I believe that is a correct assessment of the situation.
Except the guy who brought up scalies was talking about people who like Argonians, not you
Okay, so first thing is to settle the whole "Who won the Civil War" I'd basically split the difference with the Empire and Skyrim brokering a secret deal that basically goes:
>Skyrim 'wins' and is now a rogue province
>Empire claims it can't do much due to diminished military strength from the White Gold Concord
>Skyrim and Hammerfell are charged with basically softening up the Dominion while the Empire marshals full strength and secretly supports both.
And then from there the game is set in Elsweyr, you wake up inside an Aldemari magic prison being busted out by Imperial agents with the implications/dialogue options you've been stuck in there for a long ass time. From there we continue the Aldemari War in the Elsweyr front, there's more than just 'Imperial sympathy' and 'help Thalmor' options, some include raising Elsweyr independence from both, working with some yet-unspecified fourth party.
Also for the non-political bent story: Dwemer Ruins! But wait, Dwemer had no settlements in Elsweyr or other nearby provinces. That's because they didn't! Desperate for some super weapon, someone found a tonal magical artifact the Dwemer had made to quickly set up settlements, which, due to a mix of it having not been finished before they vanished and improper useage it's now spreading gold pipes and angular stonework around like a damn steampunk kudzu, and the tech doesn't just 'infest' the landscape, it infests people too. The person who fricked with the "City Cube" essentially being patient zero and has Dwemer machinery growing out of his ass among many other unfortunate spots.
Every time I read something like this the happier I am that they fired Kuhlman.
That doesn't read like anything by Kuhlmann, rolstonbro, more up your beloved Emil's alley in fact
Tonal magic is not an Emil thing newfriend.
Shit, so it's that bad, huh?
Not really, those anons are just autistic, literally for one of them.
I don't think they could really depict the swamp nature of blackmarch that well, even in todays day and age.
Has there ever been a good swamp in a video game?
>I don't think they could really depict the swamp nature of blackmarch that well
I don't remember the exact quote, but I vaguely remember them saying that themselves in relation to Blackmarsh and Valenwood. That they didn't have the correct technology yet to properly represent those locations.
More home page mascots and a better clean/porn classificator
Also probably some sort of marketplace where you can make commissions to, with a discount on the website cut if the character barely have any pictures but it's not an OC
ES6 has no chance of being a good game so I would just find a way to trick morons into buying it while putting as little money into it as possible
Why are people so obsessed with humans and go all deus vult genocide mode in nearly every single IP? Humans are boring as frick, I'd rather play as a sentient tree than play them. I guess to each their own.
If you enjoy odd things give Morrowind a try. They went hard after the odd aspect.
For example.
Why do you find Humans so interesting? Whenever I was playing WoW I always found it incredibly odd how Humans were one of the most popular races.
I don't overthink selecting a race. It isn't that important. I just go human unless the meta uses a specific race.
I just like being the normal guy in a fantasy setting
Probably to throw out everything they’ve done so far and start from scratch.
hire Vicn
Make it Elsweyr, knowing at least the ESO guys have been practicing khajiit lore
I'd vouch for Hammerfell if I wasn't convinced they'd 100% just make Skyrim but with sand.
Another reason to make it Elweyr: mount who also doubles as a companion. Have he or she make constant jokes about you riding them.
I've wanted to see a Blackmarsh Elder Scrolls since Oblivion years ago. After Skyrim Bethesda needed another Weird-Land game like Morrowind. But its gonna be like other people on the thread say, just skyrim with sand.
Looking forward to Elder Scrolls VII
Every province except High Rock was some sort of weird-land at some point. It's not about the provinces themselves or their lore but about what bethesda wants, and since Oblivion, they simply don't wanna do weird.
If they set a game in Valenwood, they simply won't have the gargantuan city trees or the wild hunt and cannibalism as it is described in lore right now. If they make a game in Black Marsh, they'll simply have the Argonians act more like normal people rather than weird aliens, cut down most of the Hist stuff, make It so anyone can go anywhere. If they make a game in Elsweyr, they'd just cut the moon phase form lore (or at least they would if ESO hadn't cucked them out of It), ignore the Khajiiti religion and their sugar-fueled customs and go hard on skyrim maymays instead.
It's just how bethesda and its writers work.
To be frank I'm not sure they would even do Summerset justice in relation to it's architecture.
they sure didn't in ESO. Look at this answer "When The Elder Scrolls Online launches, the playable part of the Summerset Isles will be Auridon, the big island between Summerset and the continent that includes the cities of Firsthold and Skywatch. The architecture of the High Elves is fanciful, certainly, but it’s also practical, constructed of real-world materials. Architects can’t make buildings out of poetry!"
https://www.imperial-library.info/content/elder-scrolls-online-lore-answers
It's funny because Altmer architecture is at no point described as being made out of poetry, not in any of the Pocket Guides, nor in any of Kirkbride's schizo ramblings, it's either described as being made out of glass/crystals or many different architectural styles built over one another over millenia
ESO homies straight up lied, got away with It, and convinced thousands of homies that their Oblivion-tier lore rape was justified
Void nights will be used to lock all the khajit into the normal form seen in game.
High rock deserves to be a weird land as well, especially after cyrodiil was turned into generic castle land.
Suggestions? It's drawing pretty heavily on Arthurian legend at the moment.
I have a lot of suggestions
Todd Howard..... You must deliver us.... Direnni kino....
so, almost sci-fantasy?
no!
More mystical then, almost like HP Lovecrafts Dream Cycle stories? (read them if you haven't)
Perhaps
Name one game/show/book with this feel
>books
Wizard of the Earthsea books, Dream Cycle short stories
>shows, no idea
>games
Maybe Age of Decadence in some parts, Islands of the Caliph, Trine
destiny has some interesting pyramid scifi architecture but the game presentation ruins the visuals
>since Oblivion, they simply don't wanna do weird
They did it twice with Shivering Isles and Dragonborn.
Take every loverslab fetish mod and make it official in the game. With extras too.
>can't beat the elves in open battle
>use a time warping giant death robot that quite literally cannot be fought against to commit genocide
I mean I'd be pretty pissed off too.
They handled Morrowind pretty well with 3 living gods and razed Mournhold before the armistice. Tiber probably could take the isles with heavy casualties but why take the risk when you have a nuke?
Make 3rd person controls and animation not complete garbage
Fire Todd.
Fire Emil.
Hire Pete Hines.
Fire him.
Rehire Pete Hines.
Fire him.
Look for a legal loophole to erase Pete Hines' pension.
Let someone else take control of development, I had my fun.
Todd doesn't have what it takes to make TES6. Not only his disinterest for the franchise is pallatable, but he must be going through Redguard flashbacks seeing his precious space wet dream game getting trashed in the public's eye.
I think its cool bethesda was trying all these new things, its too bad they didnt work out but also I hope this is a wake up call to Todd that players actually like wacky aliens and beast races and dont want elder scrolls to be a low fantasy game.
>Not only his disinterest for the franchise is pallatable
I thought that shit was just my schizo headcanon because I've felt that way for a number of years now. Even in interviews when people talk about the Elder Scrolls he seems just so disinterested until people start talking about revenue or the impacts the games have had.
fire all women and jeets
>Amazon could make a faithful adaptation of Elder Scrolls: Redguard
>Instead they'll make a weird non canon Morrowind/Cyrodiil series where everyone including Vivec somehow had a Redguard mother.
Canceling it because frick modern Bethesda
Fire pajeets
Argonian men.
Fire everyone. Then hire new team and write new engine. Creation is shit and shall never be used again.
throw away the creation engine and program everything in Visual Basic
I tell them to make Skyrim mechanics in High Rock but with more stuff in it. I don't trust anyone at Bethesda below me to actually improve anything so I deliberately tell them not to.
Before we'd even continue with development
>look over what's been done so far
>get rid of every job that doesn't involve actually working on the game or making it better in some capacity
>top to bottom performance reviews to weed out workers were weren't hired based on merit
>move as much development in-house as possible
>look for the best, most talented modders in the community across the various gamebryo games and actually hire them
>do a review of the best aspects of each game, as well as the worst
>hire actually talented, professional VAs and not base it on star power and nepotism
>bring kirkbride on board if possible, hire/poach excellent writers
>greatly slash the advertising budget
>switch development focus to PC (or at least make pc primary platform since Xbox can't be cut out)
For development itself
>make the game an RPG again
>add in many different and exciting side quests, not just go to X and kill/get Y
>add in fleshed out factions that have story impact and aren't just quest lines
>add a fleshed out magic system with custom spells, take inspiration from ars magica
>no frame cap
>add multiple dialogue options and trees, make dialogue choices matter, and use multiple skills and factors to determine success and options
>model the xp system closer to fallout 3/nv to get rid of grinding
>model melee off of might and magic dark messiah
>improve AI so it isn't completely moronic
>make decisions matter
>make a UI that's actually good. If needed make one for Xbox and one for PC
>make it as mod-friendly as possible, include the modding community from the beginning
>have modders be playtesters
>have an actual department to ensure the game isn't a buggy mess on launch
>add more character customization options beyond looks, add in backgrounds, perks/feats/drawbacks
>NO VOICED MCs
>have the game pause during dialogue, for the love of christ
>listen to input and not be le epic snarky devs on xitter
>commit to continued improvement after launch
Bring back Goodall, he's still got it
And make everything after Morrowind some weird dream by Dagoth-Ur as he's plummeting to his death
Pretty sure that reality is already more of a suggestion because CHIM. I hope the empire still has a chance tbh
>And make everything after Morrowind some weird dream by Dagoth-Ur as he's plummeting to his death
the sixth house has fallen
Mandatory black female protagonist with vitiligo, remove character creator
I shit on Todd Howard's desk and then hand in my notice
It's past mending and I don't want to be responsible for any part of it
>add spears
>make the combat reactive with good animations and good controls, but maintain its identity (and not like souls or DD, i love those games)
>make magic a lot more interesting and powerful
>add fully fledged sex minigame
>expand customization to body for indepth stuff (mods can do this by editing bones to change height, etc, same thing DD does)
>design the game in a way where you can do anything you want in a quest and not just a set of limited options
Change the entire story. Scrap it completely because I don't even have to look at the script to know that it's shit then rewrite it. Then change the combat because we know that's going to be shit. Not like the chink shit you see on Nexus mods, but at least fricking update it.
You all are not better than Todd. Kneel.
Todd abandoned himself
I WOULD ADD AWESOME AMOUNTS OF EPIC GAY SEX TO THE GAME
MAYBE SOME BEAR SEX TOO IF I FEEL BOLD ENOUGH
Fire the pajeets
And make the story about killing the Khajeets
Dwemer/Daedra/Aedra Prequel
what?
Immediately hire Michael Kirkbride as lead loremaster. Also give him a ton of mushrooms.
This. People meme on Kirkbride a lot but he almost single-handedly was the driving force for nearly all interesting and wacky Elder Scrolls lore. It's why it's not just another typical fantasy series.
Fire Todd
