I remember when after the 2018 teaser people were speculating itll drop in 2024/2025 and i thought to myself that its hella long and itll probably be out sooner... good times
We just need to fund a Fudgemuppet game studio at this point. At this point I'm convinced that anything Fudge, Camel, and Drew come up with will be 10x better than anything coming out of Bethesda. Remember back when Fudgemuppet predicted that ESVI would be coming out 2025-2026 while everyone else was saying it would be coming in the late 2010s? And even THAT prediction was just a bit too early. Bethesda is taking too long. We need to do it outselves.
This would be cool. The worldbuilding and story for Dominion is so good that it could stand on its own with minor changes as an independent video game (and/or another type of media like movies or comics).
Honestly, with the route Bethesda has seemed to take with Starfield and procedural tech, something makes me feel that Elder Scrolls 6 will be an attempt at making a modernized Daggerfall-esque Elder Scrolls. Depending on who you are, that either sounds promising or like one of the worst decisions ever since the in-depth and handcrafted nature of something like Morrowind or Skyrim would be hard to replicate in something designed like Daggerfall.
I’d be down for a Fudgemuppet Fallout: Wyoming, they’d at least have more passion for the game they’re creating than Bethesda has when creating Fallout games
If Todd for whatever reason wants to provide us answers I would love it if he did so on a podcast with FM. It’s deserved and he would be communicating directly with a fan who would be fair and ask the right questions
Just wanna show my love and respect to Fudgemuppet. As a true fan of TES I find your videos DEEPLY satisfying, thankyou for all your hard work, it is truly appreciated! Can't wait to watch your TES6 Lore videos!
@@tjbrody calling something a bad take isn’t an overreaction it’s just you never know nowadays so I had to make sure you were joking lol! Didn’t mean to be rude
Here’s a thought, what if they completely remade elder scrolls arena, threw in the factions, houses and stuff but kept the plot from the first elder scrolls on top of being able to travel the entire continent?
Here's hoping there's someone to spritz Todd Howard with a spray bottle a few times when he starts getting "Good Ideas". A good sized game world filled with content, quests, exploration, and story is what I'm hoping to see for Elder Scrolls 6. Nothing more, nothing less.
This, this right here is what I’d love. This sounds absolutely perfect, Redguards are an awesome culture. I’m unsure if Bethesda could deliver this though, and whether or not they’d even care to listen to you guys, but thank you anyways. Lastly I’m glad you included the stormcloaks, personally I’d like to see them still around, they’re a cool faction after all, and Ulfric is one of my favourite written characters, alongside Galmar.
I really liked the Hammerfell video yall made, but I love Dominion as well. It’d be cool if they were fused together. It would be rad seeing the Salotep and Dark Brotherhood fighting over territory or some other feud. Or half way through the main quest, you’re spying on the Thalmor cabal and you witness them suddenly turn to ash which sets you on the trail of that cult.
One thing that I would love for them to include if they go to hammerfell is sword-singing. It’s just an amazing thing lore wise and could be kinda similar to shouts as a game mechanic, but I’m afraid they couldn’t easily implement it because that would box the character in as a melee fighter, unless they came up with equivalently interesting additional systems for archers and casters.
The idea of a live to interact with the subscribers is amazing, but for those who can't follow a 6h transmission, it would be good to have a mini series divided in episodes breaking this theme down.
I want redguard Nobles and to see if it was lore accurate to help help Saadia or if it was all just a thalmor plot or if it thalmor really are at odds with the redguards two simple consequences help or not I always helped her even tho it's what sparked my love for the redgaurd race I can't wait for hannerfell I am just so excited about a whole new elder scrolls place to visit and deep dive I hope they pull role play mechanics from. The Witcher III and Baulders Gate 3 I feel like those are two top tier into role playing mechanics in a video game
I wouldn't mind seeing some more options as far as character creation. Like being to make them tall or short or fat or skinny etc... I would also like to see some type of variety of thrown weapons. like short spears, knives, or axes. I don't know how any of that stuff works so it may be impossible to do but I would like to see it. And bring back the bound daedric armour. The flesh spells were a little bit of a let down for me.
I've been saying for years that Elder Scrolls 6 will be set in Hammerfell (giant snakes anyone much?) about 20 years after the Civil War, the focus will be the second Great War. Skyrim will have seceded from the Empire and allied with Hammerfell, the Thalmor seek to destroy the towers upholding reality which is why they wanted Hammerfell to gain access to the tower there, Elswyr or Valenwood Will rebel against the Dominion during the war and a possible Septim heir will be found to reunite the Empire or less likely the provinces will become independent again after the fall of the Dominion. Elder Scrolls 6 won't be released until late 2027 at earliest we have a ways to g but that's not a bad thing
I was a teenager when Skyrim came out. Now I’m married with children. Sometimes I wonder if I’ll make it to ES6, I’ve had a lot of friends pass that I used to game with after all.
Man, I REALLY hope they listen to you guys and do something like this, but I’ve all but lost faith. Todd doesn’t seem to listen to anyone within the community, and I’m worried that he’s just gonna release a half baked product like Starfield again, screaming “it just works” at us while we run through open environments of nothing
It's amazing how Bethesda needs 13 years to release a unfinished game that the modding community will have to fix just to make the game playable with less bugs.
The massive deepdive vids are great, especially for long shifts at work, but I hope you go back to shorter, but more frequent videos. Feels like content has slowed to a crawl since interest in *Starfield* dried up. Bring back the podcast. Hell, give us a *Fallout* podcast!
TES 5 was all about stripping down/simplifying the RPG formula. All I hope, is that they know, this time around, they need to expand from the base set in TES 5.
It sucks for Bethesda because they took so long so now it basically HAD TO BE the greatest game of all time to live up to expectations. If they would have focused on it instead of starfield it could have just been any other Bethesda game but the longer they take the higher the expectations
You don't think that Ted Peterson is going to kill the franchise with his own Wayward Realms? I think it'll replace the Elder Scrolls because it'll be with the Elder Scrolls was supposed to be.
Why not go all out and make an entire “online” world? Get all locations and I do mean all, and all races with each variation of each race and the possibility for playing through any storyline associated with elder scrolls.
i think the priority should be gameplay above all else. the lore is cool and all but if the gameplay is just skyrim again thats gonna get boring fast. verticality should be the focus i think for naviagtion, basic climbing, gliding and maybe a little rope action would be fantastic. suddenly the mountains could contain far more interesting locations. NPCs should be the second heavy focus, they need to feel real, more intricate animations and interactions, with the use of AI generated voices quests could be made alot faster and cheaper. i want to be able to manipulate the NPCs lives in positive and negative ways as well. i very much think elder scrolls games story has never been its focal point, but a great story is always welcome. the way i see it bethesda needs to add all the tricky stuff modders will struggle with, lore quests and all that can be made by modders
I really doubt elder scrolls 6 will have much to do with thalmor if anything at all. The previous ones has big time skips with big events in between that were not shown in game so unless they changing the formula, the thalmor world domination or summerset isles invasion is gonna be completely skipped and we will only know about it through books.
Not true, the first few TES games took place pretty close to each other relatively. They span over about 50 years in universe. Skyrim was the largest time skip we've ever seen in the mainline franchise being 201 years. ESO as a spin off however takes place the farthest from anything
@@mahe7744 still in between the games typically only a decade or less pasted between entries. There until skyrim. Game to game before skyrim very little time past. But always enough to build upon what came before. Narratively it'd make zero sense to drop them as they are a major plot point post oblivion
@deetheottsel it's like 5-6 years from morrowind to oblivion, I forgot how many after arena but from dagger to morrowind was like 20. Skyrim is weird cuz 200 feels way too long. But yeah they usually skip pretty big events between games for the set up like you say and tend to solve unsolved stuff in the last game through narrative(nerevar leaves so he's not there for oblivion, eternal champ dissapears shortly after akatosh manifests etc)
@mahe7744 you see but the Thalmor seem to be up to some stuff that would overall not be able to be skipped. It's likely in my eyes that they will be a key focus for TES 6 as our character trys to stop them
You put together a design document? Bethesda doesn't like those. They just play the game. You should be proud you put more work into it than them, and you should honestly just try making your own game. It'll probably come out before es6
Nah, because Bethesda actually cares about the Elder Scrolls franchise. Starfield was completely new with no built in fanbase. Elder Scrolls is THEIR original IP, they know full well screwing that up would spell the end for them.
High Rock has its own game, a remaster, is fully explored in ESO, and has additional DLCs as well. Just give Hammerfell love and leave High Rock out of it.
I have completely lost faith in Bethesda and interest in elder scrolls 6. Starfield would have been a decent game if it came out in 2015. No innovation or advances in gameplay shallow plot with uninspired writing and dialog.
Everyone saying how they cant wait for Elder Scrolls 6 like its gonna be good. Sorry guys but bethesda doesnt have it any more. They havent in over 13 years.
I can’t see this game actually being good. Starfield isn’t only a boring flop of a game but it’s full of too much woke shit for the average consumer to enjoy, and if this is the direction that Bethesda is taking then the next elder scrolls game will surely be a flop too.
I really would rather them NOT cover the boring political crap and go more into the esoteric and interesting lore that morrowind contained but I know they won’t
A game set in high rock and hammerfell you mean Daggerfall 🙄 so many amazing places to go like elsweyr and they pick to boring locations we already saw many years ago stinkarooni
@Pandemia616 oh really? Are we talking about Bethesda softwork or bethesda game studio? Bethesda softwork is not developers. You can't say Indiana Jones is their game.
I remember when after the 2018 teaser people were speculating itll drop in 2024/2025 and i thought to myself that its hella long and itll probably be out sooner... good times
Well at least we'll know its been in development for at least a decade by the time it comes out. Hopefully it doesnt disappoint.
No you silly billy, they only started full dev on it after finishing starfield, that’s literally only a year.
Tbf 2020-2022 basically didn't exist.
2025: Starfield Extended Edition
2026: Skyrim Extraordinary Edition
2027: Starfield Special Edition
2028: Starfield Anniversary Edition
2029: Skyrim, Road to TES VI Edition
2030: Starfield VR Edition
2031: Skyfield Crossover Edition
We know there won't be a Starfield G.O.T.Y. Edition
“Starfield is the perfect game.”
For the sake of humanity, please no.
Don’t give the man anymore ideas lol
Unless they celebrate the 5 year anniversary instead of 10, I doubt Starfield Anniversary Edition would be 2028. 2033 if anything
Finally! An Elder Scrolls 6 we can all get behind. Fudge getting my hopes up again gosh darn it
We just need to fund a Fudgemuppet game studio at this point. At this point I'm convinced that anything Fudge, Camel, and Drew come up with will be 10x better than anything coming out of Bethesda.

I don't think it will flop, I do think it could end up being pretty mediocre.
Maybe, by the time they get to TES 6 they've cycled back around to making good games.

Seriously, I want to play your Elder Scrolls 6 right now. You did an incredible job with the worldbuilding and story, and Bethesda needs to hire you.

The Elder Scrolls 6:
AkaVIr
I ain’t biting
Dont forget the valenwood dlc
Where is link?
Yep?
I'm guessing we're not gonna get imperial kingdom anymore. The era of dragonborn has ended. Kingdom will crumble to join the dirt just like the rest
Yeah perfectly said. I wanted it yesterday. The tepid piece of shit they are going to deliver will be of no interest to me today..
Please send the video to Bethesda even if you have to sign an NDA and take the video down then we'd know stuff from it will be incorporated into es6
I'm assuming Dominion will just work, yes?
I want to play as a reach man
Why not go all out and make an entire “online” world? Get all locations and I do mean all, and all races with each variation of each race and the possibility for playing through any storyline associated with elder scrolls.
They forgot one important thing............graymane or battle born?
I want to be excited. But I know Bethesda will mess up somehow.
Where is the link?
Just this description alone is gonna make the actual game so bare and disappointing.
At this point my money's on Wayward Realms lol.
Looks chintzy and cheap tbh looks very derivative and unoriginal. It just looks like they are trying to re-live the glory days of daggerfall.
