Lets guess and speculate how badly TES 6 will be dumbed down.
>Only destruction and restoration magic >Magic gameplay is literally hold down the mouse button to shoot an unending stream of magic >Fewer weapons >All weapons look similar within their own class >Their skins are always the same, only differ through color >Quest givers only mention that something needs killed or fetched, no story at all >You get teleported to the entrance of the dungeon/cave/quest location if you speak to the quest giver >Dungeons don't even have any turns or rooms. It's just a corridor with a few monsters in the way and the quest item/character glowing at the end of it >The whole gameplay is just kill->loot >The map itself has nothing in it other than entrances to caves and dungeons & a few villages all of 3 houses and 2 people. >RPG elements are gone completely. You don't have levels, you can wield anything right away. >There are no stats to impact the gameplay >No classes again >You cannot equip any armor other than the one you started with >No more dialog, you just press F to pay respects and press E to have the NPC's tell you where to find everything.
Anything else? Most of these have already been done with FO4 & Skyrim

You don't have levels, you can wield anything right away. I could maybe see them excluding EXP and levelling up (not that numbers are what I'd call core RPG elements), but normies love skinnerboxes so I think it'll be there, even if it's as pointless as it usually is.

I am expecting them to actually dial up the exp system in some way or at least add another leveling system on top of the basic skyrim system for the very reason you said.
Jonathan Gomez

That might be cool though
Brody Kelly
They'll probably make magic "cool" by giving you magic mirv launcher equivalent and magic power armor spell equivalent.
Juan Brooks
>Argonians still have tits
Adam Parker
>Not wanting for argonians to have tits
It's like you're a lore nerd, or something.
Andrew Allen
But it makes sense from a lore standpoint for them to have tits.
Carson Lopez
It will be so bad that it is elder scrolls online with another 4 more "expansion" shit like the lastest from morrowind there wont be any other ES SP
Michael Perry
What was the excuse? 'Sap sacks'?
Connor Wilson
Devs on official forums 15 years ago: Argonians are ovoviviparous. [Wow. I was SURE I'd never have to use that word again.] They don't lay eggs like reptiles. Note that Lady Argonians have big bumps on their chests.
Samuel Moore
Considering Todd actually admitted the dialogue wheel and voiced protagonist in Fallout 4 were mistakes I'm a little optimistic for the next Elder Scrolls game.
Austin Garcia
Looking back at Skyrim, the modding community is fucking nuts. You can literally turn Skyrim into another game, I wonder if 6 will have the same support, or if people will just stick to Skyrim.
Michael Murphy
>ovoviviparous Seems like a very risky place to store eggs, liked the 'sap storage' thing more since if an argonian was born outside Black Marsh, they'd stay as a regular lizard without the sap
Jayden Perry
Can you imagine if they flipped back to Daggerfall's depth? That'll never happen though.
Carter Barnes
He's lying
Carter Hill
Nah, I can believe him on that one. Even normies made fun of FO4.
Daniel Mitchell
Since there are many types of argonians, from rocks, to sentient lizards to humanized fap material, I don't think it's a case of one species that has everything make the most sense because they have this perfect one form. Boob-y argonians are civilized so it being a risky place doesn't matter much. It even helps them blend into society.
Jayden Martin
>You can literally turn Skyrim into another game
You can make it look different, more immersive and more atmospheric. However, you cannot change the shit basic gameplay. And it all boils down to the same go to location => mash LMB || hold down LMB to shoot ebin magic => loot gold.
I wish the more complex magic spells, or the more varied (read interesting) spells would return, as they were in Morrowind and Obliviblivon.
Juan White
>it all boils down to the same go to location => mash LMB || hold down LMB to shoot ebin magic => loot gold I don't wanna be the one to defend Skyrim, but casuals like you are wrong. Elder Scrolls were never about combat. This is the same argument as Morrowind is boring because all you do is explore and do boring combat. >muh visceral action >muh loot You're as much cancer as Todd and his casualization of the game.
Jordan Murphy
>skyrim was almost six years ago
Have they even said anything about new TES? I remember some speculations about it being in black marsh or hammerfell but seem like it all died out.
Robert Thompson
They've said they're definitely going to make it but that it's not in development.
Colton Wilson
>visceral action >loot
Where have I said that? Where have I even mentioned Morrowind's combat being good? Aside mentioning that Morrowind had more interesting magics.
Projecting much?
Noah Brooks
If combat doesn't tickle your fancy you straight up turn it into a better porn game than 90% of porn games out there.
Lincoln Gray

pre sure Beth Studios are going to announce a new IP this year, not sure i'm happy about it but hey at least it's less Fallout rape
Juan Martin

The new TES is TESO.
Mason Cox

How does that imply me wanting visceral combat?

Samuel Flores
This is why I want tits removed off them
Austin Myers
>modern day sjw/leftist propaganda shoe horned in everywhere
Bethesda never does that. If anything the right leaning factions like the Stormcloaks and fallout 4's brother hood of steel are way more likable than the other choices. Everything else is probably going to happen.
Isaac Baker
This. Bethesda isn't right wing, but nationalists in Skyrim were woke as fuck.
Chase Sullivan
They're people with a bit of scales and a tail. Of course they have breasts.
Liam Kelly
>woke >Yellow Jew puppets Woke in the same way BLM fools are woke.
Bentley Stewart
You're an idiot.
Cooper Powell
It's gonna stop being an RPG. This started with Oblivion, and is gonna be more and more so in the next game.
Skyrim was technically just a first person shooter with Perks instead of major/minor skills. Your build performance didn't matter. Build variety was mostly dead. All builds boiled down to either Bow and two hander or literally EVERYTHING.
Progression was weak and unimaginative. Call me a faggot, but Morrowind did it right in a lot of cases, save for the combat.
Skyrim is just Call of Duty with swords and trivial levels to mimic an RPG. TES 6 is just gonna be Call of Duty with swords, and nothing else.
Screen cap this and see for yourselves in the future once the game is announced.
Tyler Perez
Ulfric is practically a rogue asset to the thalmor, they think they can use him but he has no such intentions.
and thats just Ulfric.
Jordan Turner
>this meme again Go read Thalmor dossier. It says the war between the two sides is an asset, not that Ulfric is. They consider Ulfric helpful to the point he's able to mape problems for the imperials. They want a long, drawn out war. They don't control or like either side.
When retards like you spout this "le asset" shit, it's easy to spot a casual who doesnt' know any lore.
Ryder Walker
That was really artificial and stupid plot device. Felt tacked on.
Julian Thompson
you're a fucking idiot I just said what you said but you took the word "asset" and assumed I went with the bait version.
don't talk lore to me or my imaginary friend again.
Ryder Gonzalez
But they've always referred their young as hatchlings though
Andrew Williams
Because they do hatch out of eggs. But the eggs are internal in the body. In the region humans call "tits".
Jaxson Nelson
Space battles
Chase Martinez
How come they never had tits in Morrowind then? Seems like something they made up after Oblivion.
Jose Powell
Argonians aren't anatomically uniform. Depending on sap, they can change into an infinite number of different argonian types.
Connor Richardson
Arena would like a word with you.

Blake Carter
Hello, my name is Hodd Toward.
These are good ideas for my next... I mean Todd (totally not a manlet) Howard's game. You sound like an experienced game developer, who have seemed to finished Bethesda's school of video game development.
We want to... I mean I heard they want to hire you over at Bethesda, with a starting pay of 1 (ONE) million dollars.
Adrian Edwards
>>there are no locked doors besides ones with unique keys relating to story progression Are you trying to make it too hard for the players? The mandatory companions will find and carry quest items themselves, and use them when needed
Dylan Scott
You're such a faggot if you think the first few will ever happen
Aaron Torres
They still had tits, just very small ones
The graphics team that worked with Arena and Daggerfall must have been tits guys because every fucking race had huge knockers
I think we only saw the same type of Argonian through-out all games, Snake like ones and what not were mentioned but I don't think we ever saw one.
James Perez
Can't tell if you're memeing or not.
Isaac Kelly
It'll be Fallout 4 without Guns.
Jeremiah Ross
I was 13 when skyrim came out
Jackson Nelson
what do you know of game design? you are like a baby
Dominic Long
Don't diss the good ideas of the Elder Scrolls community!
All of this I, Todd Howard, will implement into my games, because they are great idea. Fans will love it!
Mason Anderson
>same type of Argonian through-out all games Arena & Daggerfall argonians =/= Morrowind argonians =/= Obilvion and Skyrim argonians
Ethan Kelly
You must have a pretty low IQ if this is the pattern you predict. What you described is an entirely different game, not dumbed down skyrim.
Benjamin Harris
For reference. (although it's kind of pointless since you can't see the whole body)
Elijah Powell
Why stop meming there? TESO is even worse
Jeremiah Barnes
>restoration
Oh that magic school no one specializes in? If it isn't cut it will be one all purpose spell.
Zachary Jenkins
>TESO TESO doesn't exist, or if it does, it's irrelevant to Elder Scrolls discussion we have here. Also a correction, Arena and Daggerfall argonians are different. I don't know why I put them together.
Aaron Rogers
>can't block with shields, attached to left gauntlet >difference in material is color only >only spells left are lightning bolt and firebolt. Because your character "sucks in magic"
Julian Mitchell
reminder that magic in skyrim is more complex than in morrowind
morrowind: >all spells are instacast >buffs/nerfs >summons >attacks skyrim: >all of the morrowind effects present >also rune magic that acts as proximity mine >spells with wind up time >channelling spells >different spells in different hands >spell powerattack >max level spells can only be acquired through quests >actively maintained spell shields
so fuck off
Christian Smith
Oh my God. I remember seeing threads like this for Skyrim.
Nicholas Hill
I wish there were more ways to use magic in TES. It's mostly combat oriented.
I thought the transmutation spell was a nice touch in that direction.
James White
Don't forget the flood of marketers and normalfags who will side with said "stealthy" shills like every Bethesda game release.
>tfw still miss the "report advertising" button

It's okay. I really enjoyed the post-month blues from the retards who flocked to F4
Hudson Flores
melee combat
morrowind: >4 directional attacks out of which one is always superior in terms of damage, hence in the settings you can choose to always to just that one attack >no active blocking >no power attacks >not in any way changed when leveling so all in all you have a total of 4 actions in combat
skyrim >regular attack >4 directional powerattacks >perks change what those powerstrike attacks do, including effects like disarm, paralysis and just more damage >sprint power attack >active blocking >shield bash so a total of 9 actions in combat
Robert Butler
attacks meant simple damage spells, and all morrowind effects present meant that skyrim has: all those listed for morrowind, so instacast spells, buffs, nerfs and summons
if you had any reading comprehension at all you would have understood that
Blake Carter
Source?
Liam Parker
I mean, most people don't particularly care for Morrowind's combat, even outside of the missing. There's a reason a lot of mods have gone into trying to rectify it.
Bentley King
eh, I know that, I actually prefer Morrowind to Skyrim, I am mostly just funposting, and reminding nostalgia faggots that all this talk of oversimplification is retarded
Cooper Thompson
>no spell making It's shit
Dylan Lee
I think it is a good sign that they are taking so long to make another ES game, instead of churning one out every now and then.
Wyatt Harris
>all morrowind effects present meant that skyrim has: all those listed for morrowind, so instacast spells, buffs, nerfs and summons
Luis Ramirez
Just tweak it in cbbe duh
Isaac Brooks
Skyrim's biggest issue is the melee animations are so damn weighty and bad. You click, and there's this awkward pause between swings and actions. Honestly, Oblivion had the best combat out of all of them, but all three have meh combat.
Jayden Lee
>skyrim has more complex magic than morrowind >no custom spells
Logan Brown
They need a new engine for it to be any good
Mason Ross
>muh custom spells good to see you can't refute the central point, that there is far more variety of different magic TYPES in skyrim
all your custom spells are still the same old, instacast damage/nerf/buff types
But Oblivion combat was worst of the three. It felt so floaty. It didn't feel like any hits actually hit and spells were so fucking so it's unreal. Enemies were worse health sponges than Skyrim, making you backtrack all the time with very slow magic and unsatisfying swings slowly draining enemy health. It's terrible.
In Morrowind when you hit, it was like fuck yeah, I hit something, it feels like a major thing happened. And Skyrim is pretty fast desu, you don't get hung up too much on enemies unless it's a big fight. Feels shitty, but not frustrating and you don't have time to think about how bad it is unlike in Oblivion.
Angel Martin
They literally have done a """"""""new"""""""" """""""engine""""""" for each game. They need to move away from their gamebryo (creation engine) and just move to UE4 or something.
Jayden Jenkins
yep, the animation for a weapon swing that connects is much the same as the one for when the swing misses, so it just feels awful, there are some mods that try to remedy it, but they look like shit too
the worst part is that given how awful bethesda animators have always been, I don't think this will ever change, shitty animations making combat look and feel cheap is something we will just have to deal with
jesus christ, just read through the thread, I admitted that it was poor wording, I mean all spell types, that is instacast spells, buffs, nerfs and summons are present in skyrim too, I just didn't want to list it twice
well they did say that there won't be a new TES game for a few years, hopefully they'll make a brand new, good engine
Justin Foster
Why do people who are shit at arguing cry "p-p-projection!" at everything
Jonathan Morales
morrowind: >all spells are instacast >buffs/nerfs >summons >damage spells skyrim: >instacast spells >buffs/nerfs >summons >damage spells >rune magic that acts as proximity mine >spells with wind up time >channelling spells >different spells in different hands >spell powerattack >max level spells can only be acquired through quests >actively maintained spell shields
here you go, hopefully this is better wording and easier to understand, since you all pretend to not get that other post
Connor Gray
god you faggots are insufferable, "herp derp magic isn't just an event trigger now" ignoring the fact they removed a bunch of spells and put others into meme shout.
also you said every effect from morrowind is present, except they removed levitate and acrobatics between oblivion and then.
in short, stfu.
Gabriel Collins
>dumbing down maymay
Levi Wright
Morrowind didn't feel like anything when you hit. Maybe at low levels, but past a very early point all strategy in Morrowind became a matter of just spamming M1, there wasn't even a point to the directional attacks. In Oblivion at least, things are responsive enough to where a some semblance of combat can take place. Honestly though, the best combat in any TES game is ESO
Jayden Barnes
I swear you faggots can't just read a few posts down
Brandon Perry
didn't refresh to see that before posting
im done replying to you anyway.
Andrew Rogers
I'd rather a rudimentary combat that's straightforward and fun like Morrowind than a more complicated slugfest of terrible physics like Oblivion.
