Ontopic Name the next Elder Scrolls Game
- Thread starter Valve1138
- Start date
The Elder Scrolls is a series of games with a rich history/lore, the most recent being TES V: Skyrim, mostly just called Skyrim. there's technically been other stuff released (mobile games, online games) but of the like, "main" series, that's 5. there were a lot of memes about it, and they persisted for a long while, but at this point we are coming up on the 10th anniversary of its release and they just keep reissuing it on new consoles, so now a lot of the memes are about that (e.g. the joke about releasing it for smart fridge)
#6 has been announced, but details are fairly scarce (that's the basis of this thread).
#4 was Oblivion which was also fairly popular and still pops up in memes. I still love Oblivion.
#3 was Morrowind which I'd say was popular with gamers but I don't think had the widespread appeal/accessibility of 4&5. at the time it came out, gaming was still a fair bit more "exclusive" than it is now, so it was successful but not AS successful as 4 & 5 were - like it was as successful as you'd have expected it to have been amongst gamers, but 4 and especially 5 brought in a lot more "casual" gamers.
#2 was Daggerfall which was technically my first TES game but I found it harder to "figure out" than Diablo so I mostly stuck with the latter.
#1 was Arena and I have zero experience with it.
it was fairly groundbreaking, but I was like 7 when it was released and we didn't have a computer until I was in middle school, so by the time I had a computer, Daggerfall was out (and had been out long enough that we got it on discount which is the only reason we got it lol).
someone else is probably better qualified to talk about Arena, Daggerfall, and Morrowind, but I've sunk thousands of hours into Oblivion and Skyrim across several different platforms
I started to read that and wondered if I needed a 3 wood off the tee or could go balls-out with a driver.
that was what was great about morrowind. "You have broken the thread of destiny, choose to restart or live on in a cursed world".

Yeah that one popup message would let you know if youve fucked up or not for sure
The thing is, it was ok to live on in the cursed world cause there was so much to do. Yeah, you couldnt finish the game, but most the side quests were still available.
And lets be honest.... sometimes the main quest aint the priority. I actually think i never finished skyrim. Doesnt mean i didnt put hundreds of hours into it

Mr. Argumentor
I fab shitboxes and shitbox accessories.
I played Skyrim all the way through, then made a new character , got to a certain point in the main story line, then just did whatever I felt like. Mostly exploring every possible point on the map. One side to the other without fast travel so I wouldn't miss anything.
Oblivion was my first. I wish I could have seen my face the first time you come out of the jail tunnels into the real world. Holy shit.
i believe the bethesda official mods workshop or whatever its called works on xbox
I didn't either, which meant it was most likely something to do with a videogame or one of those wizard fantasy series on Netflix or something.
That reminds me I have this backpack I've had for years. Use it as an emergency pack of sorts I keep in the truck in case I break down or get stranded and have to hoof it. Also throw it on when we take the bikes out as it always has plenty of water in it, and some snacks and a few other oh shit type items.
It has a couple patches or symbols on it I never knew what they were. A few weeks ago an 11 year-old let me know they were characters or symbols or something to do with the Lord of the rings or one of those JR Tolkien books/movies/games.
I never knew the whole time, lol. Almost looked like some school lettermens jacket type stuff to me.
That's House of Slytherin, from Harry Potter. So it's is like a letterman, but magic.
