What can Bethesda do to make elder scrolls great again?

the elder scrolls was never great, user

Set the next game in Hammerfell or High Rock instead of Mer-Fetish-Land

GET OUT

It really wasn't.

There have always been much better fantasy RPG games. I wouldn't consider elder scrolls to be among the great RPGs.

Nothing. There is no way that Bethesda, in it's current shape, design philosophy and direction for the series can go back. Elder Scrolls are dead. Maybe some crazy spin-off done by entirely different studio, something like New Vegas, could theoretically achieve something, but as it stands, the TES that established itself with Morrowind is dead now, and there is no way of bringing it back - even if the developer would want.

Morrowind was legitimately great. One of the best pieces of fantasy, world building and good marriage between mechanics and narrative you'll ever find in an RPG. The rest of the games not so much. And Morrowind had its flaws. But it also set the bar for open-world RPG's in a way that no other game later got even close to.

name the RPGs you think are good
also
>RPG games

lmao

New Vegas fan here, will I like Morrowind? Oblivion?

Remove beast races, or make them elves again.

Golden Sun
Final Fantasy Tactics
Tactics Ogre
Valkyrie Profile
Dragon Quest III/VI
Vagrant Story
Parasite Eve
Shining Force 2/3
Fire Emblem 4/5/7
Lost Odyssey

just to name a few

now go fuck yourself

Have the entire map as a playable area using a new engine that loads the map as you move around it so its flawless
>Without filler areas
>Every few 100 metres should have something new to discover
>everything voice acted

Give the player an established character Mass Effect style, with dialogue choices effecting their personality.

More diversity within the races (darker skinned Bretons, blue/red High Elves, dark skinned Nords, etc)

Tighter combat (like Dragon Age or Witcher) where you can use all of your abilities smoothly in combat, like Batman: Arkham Knight's system but more RPG elements

>Morrowind was legitimately great
This. You could see that so much effort was put into creating a strange foreign world with both a complex culture and political system. The sci-fi elements incorperated in the fauna and wild life was a huge plus as well.

Oblivion with mods is great. A lot of anons will say that the downards trend in originality from Bethesda begins in that game. While i agree with that i also think that playing the game without quest markers and with the in game logbook is a great experience.

>literally nothing but weebshit featuring the very bare bones amount of RPG features
wow color me shocked
that the pleb would like jap adventure games with tacked on level up and point distribution systems

>Only JRPGS
Yeah, go fuck yourself you insufferable faggot

>champion of cyrodil is sheogorath
Shivering isles is not canon

fpbp
arena was below average, daggerfall was a buggy mess and Oblivion and Skyrim are just mediocre normie rpg games
Morrowing isnt that bad but people claiming it to be one of the best rpgs need to take off those nostalgia glasses, it's a 7.5/10 at best
The thing that elder scrolls game have is that your first one is going to be really engrossing but once the honey moon ends you realize how much shit they actually are

SELL THE FRANSHISE TO A COMPETENT COMPANY

>will I like Morrowind?
Hard to say. The appeal of Morrowind is very different from the appeal of Fallout 1/2/New Vegas. It's a very different design philosophy (not to mention different era). Morrowind does not have intricate quests with multiple solutions. In fact, the whole "social" aspect of the game - down to its very dialogue system, is extremely abstracted. There are little to no choice-and-consequence systems either.

The appeal of Morrowind lies in lore and fantastic world design. It's slow, the world is fairly static, and it's oddly "distant" (abstractive) in its interactions It has you put together the pieces, rather than having the characters and quests grab your hand and carry you along. If you liked the (relatively) intricate quest-lines often interconnected with character-building, great choices and consequences, political powerplay that actively effects the world... you won't find much of that in Morrowind.
The only thing the two games have in common is the sheer amount of love for their respective settings displayed by the developer. But each convey it's settings very differently.

In general, I'd say there is nothing about liking NV that would guarantee that you'll enjoy Morrowind. Though you might enjoy it anyway - I loved both. It's just that each for very different reasons.

>Oblivion?
No. Plain and simple no.

He's wearing one of the Dragon Priest masks, can't tell which one though

>Shivering isles is not canon
>He doesn't know about mantling or dragon breaks

i am absolutely not wasting time in arguing about real games with someone who actually believes that theres one WRPG in the entire history of humanity that can even compare with Tactics Ogre

>but muh weebshit!

You dont even know what you're talking about, nigger, tactics ogre is 500% japanese and literally lacks any kind of animu creative design

and apart from that, is one of the greatest stories ever told in vidya

maybe i can explain it to you but it's obvious you're a normie with underdeveloped taste

I love Skyrim.

...

He is wearing the Konahrik mask.

>and apart from that, is one of the greatest stories ever told in vidya
Not really. Tactics Ogre is good, don't get me wrong. At least by videogame standards. But if you think no wRPG can compare, or that it's one of the best stories ever told in vidya, you have not played many games, and you are clearly biased.
On a side-note: if you literally can't list a western RPG that you enjoyed, especially in a discussion about wRPG title, maybe your opinion isn't worth anything. I'm surprised you haven't realized the clear bias yourself.
