So, elder scrolls VI may take place in… Argonia, Elsweyr, Valenwood, or Summerset isles?

B) It has unique vegetation and crazy lore (not saying that Hammerfell doesn't) which is always fun
C) Is part of Dominion so we can see stuff from different perspective

If its harsh to say that the beasts are irrelevant, consider the harshness of saying that the thalmor win and humans are extinct by 5E. Consider the harshness of walk-brass tearing nirn to pieces and forcing the survivors to live on lorkhan's corpse.
Shit, consider the ultimate nature of the elder scrolls universe itself – that information is so harsh it makes people zero-sum.
So yeah, its not to harsh thinking about beast irrelevance during 3E-4E events…it gets harsher and weirder as time goes on.

Thalmor win? Yes, they do go back to Aetherius.
Do they wipe out humanity and ascend? No, they fail and need Numidium to do that shit for them.
I don't believe MK stated anywhere that humanity goes extinct.
Also, isn't it humanity that restores Lorkhan by the way of Shezarrines? Does that not mean humanity wins as well?

This is where i get fuzzy: iirc (and i very well may not), the reason walk-brass returned was because all of the other towers get shut down…they didnt get walk-brass to destroy nirn for them: it just sort of happened. Again, iirc.
As for lorkhan being restored, etc: i dont know anything about this. In my brief reading of c0da, lorkhan didnt seem to feature promiently, and if i interpreted it correctly, the "end" is vehk and sul's child becoming the amaranth (as a plantlore fetcher, i hate this word).

V? No. Skyirm wasn't generic, it was presented generic on surface level. It had lots of crazy shit, if you read books and thought about outo f game MK shit it referenced.
A clear example of what I'm saying is
>draugur are boring mindless zombies Do a few quests, read a few books and you'll learn that they're bodies of ancestors who clean shit up and keep tooms in working order before going to sleep and repeating it later again. However, since the return of Alduin, souls connected to bodies are being mind forced(persumably by waking dragon priests) into attacking the player. It ain't generic. Just underexposed

And since we know (or at least I persume) Numidium does the job of opening Aetherius back to them, we know they do not destroy humanity because if they did, Numidium wouldn't be necesary for that. So, they still win eventually.
I doubt that it's this simple. We'll probably learn more in a few years.
To simplify it - if Lorkhan hadn't been restored/healed, Akatosh wouldn't be able to escape from his heart.

his comments about the 'Thalmor winning in the end' are technically true, but the ending of c0da is the child of Vivec and Jubal achieving Amaranth, meaning EVERYONE WINS EVERYWHERE, BUT ESPECIALLY LORKHAN, LAST ONE OUT TURN OUT THE LIGHTS AND TURN ON THE WORLDEATING DRAGONTRON
and then there's his other comments about Jubal supposedly being the product of yet another Thalmor eugenics experiment
though you have Day One featuring a Thalmor soldier calling a Khajiit 'kinsmer', so they might have changed their attitude a bit so they're not so dickish

Numidium doesn't send them back to Aetherius, it goes back in time and kills the last common ancestor of all Altmer, wiping out the entire race pre-emptively.
Likewise the Thalmor didn't wipe out the Man-races by Landfall and in fact were in the wonder-weir with everyone else trying to get the races of Tamriel safely to Masser when Numidium did away with the Altmer race

Written by Waughin Jarth (better known as the author of the famous 'A Dance in Fire' series) about a man known as Decmus Scotti, employed by Lord Vanech's Building Commision at the time described in the story.
He goes over the process of trying to 'civilize' black marsh according to Imperial standards only to realize that the swamps are more efficient (and profitable!) when left to their own devices.

>>275 >>280 I agree with the top post. If you really think about Skyrim's lore it was super fucked up and complicated.
Yes, that's right. COMPLEX.
Civil war is a super sad and mature thing that demands players to seriously consider the motives behind each side. Yeah, it's easy to pass off Stormcloaks as racist evil bastards, but anyone paying any attention or giving serious consideration at all to the fact that their tradition and culture have been sacrificed for the worst possible scumfucks in the world after the Great War would probably second guess that.
Now as a player I have to say to myself "well yeah Stormcloaks can be racist, but does that make them bad all around? No. They at least have the stones to defend what they believe in and stand up against the Thalmor."
It's completely gray. Every side in Skyrim is gray including the Thalmor, because even with some thought and careful consideration to detail one realizes that the Thalmor's intentions are really a reaction to Imperial failure to stabilize Tamriel, and among inclusive separatists a scheme to return the universe to its 'rightful' state.
There is a lot of potential for intrigue in this game. The competing Jarls and their interests would have been a gold mine for side quests if Bethesda had the time to dedicate to that.
It's sad that on the surface this game was produced as a generic adventure with dragons, but throughout it all there is a darker setting that could be thoroughly explored and realized as one of the most magnificent in the entire series.

They have enough sense to realize having people around who can function as healers, walking artillery weapons, and even grant protection from the other guy's walking artillery weapons is just fucking useful.
They just despise necromancy, (*all* necromancy, none of that 'some necromancy is ok' shit the dunmeri believe in) any interaction with daedra, stealing souls, and anything that manipulates people's minds.
They do think mages are all a little touched in the head, but they'll put up with them fine as long as they're not messing around with any of the 'evil' stuff.

Nords are polarised with magic.

Redguards are described as being superstitious, hateful of necromancy and sorcery and also don't have those many examples of accomplished mages.
You just gave a very specific characterisation of Redguards based upon one guy in Oblivion and heaps of conjecture.

Hammerfell is the most logical choice in the story, I feel. I hope they'll make good use of better engines and less limitations console and memory-wise, 64-bit, etc to make a huge central desert and make the cities actually massive, to show the difference of huge expanses of near-nothing with big living cities. Large caravans, small hidden towns in oasis, a expansive coastline full of secrets, but surely Hammerfell wouldn't be complete without at least some Pirating?

checklist of shit they should put in TESVI
>stamina that drains from all attack types and running around
>non-replenishing magicka
>parry system with the shield ie block an attack just as it happens then get an attack in for MASSIVE DAMAGE
>a casting button instead of the dual wielding magic shit
>limited duration magic buffs for weapons ie a short enchant fire to a weapon but drains duration faster
>bring back duration
>expand the job system to do stuff other than gather plants and chop wood
>add spears
>add halberds
>add darts,throwing stars, throwing knifes etc.
>add first person animations and the ability to see your body when you look down ie enhanced first person mod but less buggy

Skyrim was far less generic than Oblivion (though still more than I'd like). The devs said they'd learned after oblivion that it was a mistake to make everything TOO mainstream as it took more of a competitive edge away from the series than it added in terms of accessibility, I think you'll probably see more or less skyrim levels of unique in VI.
