What Elder Scrolls 6 NEEDS!

Skyrim is an amazing game but it is a power fantasy and being the Dragonborn creates problems! Elder Scrolls 6 should use a different game setup with no predestined backstory for our character builds!

Better guilds, better companion system....the wishlist is long.

Have NPCS ask about your background more often.

Thats why Alternate Start is so good. You could literally do an entire playthrough without ever finding out that you’re Dragonborn 😅

With how long the wait is, Elder Scrolls 6 better be one heck of a game

[thejester]

We need slower progression imo. So when you finish something it feels rewarding instead of just another thing to breeze through for the exp.

I think you should play as a humanborn dragon in ES6. A dragon with the soul of a dude.

I like starting as an outlander given nothing but a prophecy to fulfill in Morrowind and having to gradually gain trust of others through your actions

[urgrandad]

there should defo be way bigger cities

[zozieforte]

Would like to see some faction building, where you can provide resources to factions an towns so that they can better defend themselves. Positive involvement in a town can produce children running in the streets to make it to school on time. Negative involvement can create authorization hell in the same town

I want to see a mixup of the guild/factions. Every ES game seems to have a guild for mages and warriors for goos guys, and thieves and assassins for villains.

How about a ruthless mercenary band for evil warriors? Have a faction of power-hungry mages, or Robin Hood thieves. How about assassins who target despots and tyrants?

I'd love to live to see the elder scrolls universe embrace the things that fallout did well (rivalry between factions, a smaller number of better-written companions) and ditch the things that it didn't (radiant quests that feel like they are stuck on repeat, always sending you to locations you've already explored).
I also think that tes6 would benefit greatly from fo4's approach to collectibles, because honestly, I don't think a single person has ever managed to squeeze a single drop of satisfaction out of a barenziah stone. But magazines and bobbleheads scattered in a similar fashion - some in key locations, some tucked away and off the beaten path - are quite enjoyable to chase after. And I'd take a quest about collecting holotapes over one about nirnroot any time of the day. So, y' know, it'd be nice if those annoying glowy things could actually tell you a story.

Morrowind handled this well. You were a prophesied hero, but it wasn’t exactly clear that you were the person to fulfill the prophecy. Everyone was rude to you and when you start down the path of the Nerevarine, everyone doubts you, even the wise woman helping you fulfill the prophecy.

[axolotlonzo]

In TES6 you’ll play as the sword-singer-born who’s able to absorb sword-singer abilities from dead sand snakes and is destined to defeat Akel the world eater before he destroys the world

[richardsousa]

Don’t worry ES6 will be a battle royale game

[flameguy]

The first few missions with the companions... "I'm still trying to figure out why Skjor let you in in the first place." "You're not as dumb as you look."

[thethumper]

I actually agree completely. There are are many times that I play that I want nothing to do with the main quest or anything to do with being dragonborne. Sometimes I just want to be a master thief or even just a hunter trying to survive in the Falkreath wilds.

[handlesaredumb]

The whole faction things needs a bing rework also.

At least in Oblivion when you took over you can make one of two choices, recruiting or quests for more good.

Skyrim you just continue doing the grunt work for everyone.

[xshdw]

I hope ES6 would be as highly moddable as skyrim honestly.

[orbitx]

There should be a quest where you have to collect 20 or so iron daggers with a weak enchant on which the dragonborn trained their crafting skills

[EnderWarlock]

I kinda want multiple origins for ES6 kinda like the alternate start mod. However, with each start you have a small quest to perform before opening up to the full world a bit like Dragon Age Origins.
