Okay. My best guess based on the clip and what others are saying: it's probably Hammerfell. That would make the most sense.

It's probably the Illiac Bay, which is Hammerfell, High Rock, and Orsinium. Hammerfell is like half the size of Skyrim if the official maps of Tamriel are still accurate.

We see the ocean with desert, forest, and scrub plants. Some mountains and hills. Heavy drums influence in the song, too. Hammerfell makes the most sense.

Of course, it could be multiple provinces or some other one. Hammerfell just fits the best.

Okay, he saved it lmao Solo mode

You can play WoW or FFXIV solo as well, but it's not ideal.

Same for ESO, for that matter. You can play alone (which is how I played 99% of the time), but you're going to be stone-cold fucked when it comes to higher-level content without a dedicated group and relatively optimized character builds.

Destiny was more or less the same. You could solo the main story, but Strikes and Raids were pretty much off the table for any purely solo player.

At least as far as stories and mechanics go, Hammerfell is the most obvious. The Aldmeri Dominion hates them and they stand the best chance at foiling their plans, having defended their home during the war. There's no doubt both the Empire and Dominion have stakes there, plus whatever confederation they may have with Skyrim if it went independent.

Meanwhile, the province is home to Sword Singers, Jedi/battle mages with sword-based magic. Perfect replacement for shouts.

Thats the stuff that I really hate

Really irritating when a game suddenly wants me to find 3-5 other people to play with just to complete an objective

Nah. i played end content fine and i mostly played by myself.

The instances weren't hard enough to need in depth teamwork.

Werewolves were fun also.

Adamantine Tower is in Illiac Bay, off the coast of Hammerfell and High Rock. It is the original tower of Convention which holds Mundus together in the absence of the gods, and is the only tower left that is known for sure to still be active (all others are either definitely deactivated or unknown). The redguards' origins on Yokuda could be explored, as could the continuing struggle against the Aldmeri Dominion.

Yeah. Hammerfell would be a great choice for continuing the story. Hammerfell is about the same size as Skyrim, so the world map would be appropriate for a game. And it has a large variety of landscapes, much of it desert, which would make for a striking change from Skyrim.

That's been the Elder Scrolls theme since Morrowind, just with a different twist each game. If anything it sounded more like the Oblivion version.

Prediction time! Elder Scrolls 6: Hammerfell

- Main character is the newest avatar of the HoonDing. TES games have made the character an avatar of a god before in Morrowind and Skyrim, and with Hammerfell lore there's no way this won't be the case again.

- Sword magic of the redguards is the cool system to replace shouts. As mentioned below, this magic is potentially very dangerous.

- Alik'r desert is filled with dwemer ruins, but from a different dwemer culture than the ones in Morrowind and Skyrim. We'll see more dwemer lore.

- The lore behind the sinking of Yokuda will be explored. It's key to the history of the redguards. A powerful sword magic that was not performed correctly destroyed the island.

- The Aldmeri Dominion will attack and Adamantine Tower will fall. This means that Mundus itself should cease, except that...

- Mundus can only be maintained by the power of a god. The tower of Convention and all of its copies simply channeled this. A god could actually hold it in existence. A god like the HoonDing might not be enough alone, though.

- The main quest will have us complete the walkabout for all of creation, allowing Tamriel to move into the next kalpa without being destroyed by Satakal/Alduin. The Elder Scrolls games have been pushing the end of the kalpa for some time now. This would let them do this, but keep the world.

- To complete the walkabout, the HoonDing will have to successfully perform the sword magic that brought down Yokuda. Doing it incorrectly destroyed a large island. Succeeding will summon Tall Papa to complete the walkabout.

They only added those for Skyrim. The music itself has basically been the "default" Elder Scrolls theme for years.

In Oblivion it sounds more orchestral, in Skyrim it's supposed to feel more guttural and primal, and in ESO they tried to make it sound more epic.

Presumably they'll use it again for ES6, and change the instrumentation to sound more like whatever region it's set in (more flutelike and ethereal for Summerset, Hammerfall would probably use more "Arabic" or African sounding instruments, etc).

Just finished watching it. My thoughts:

The first Rage was bad, and this looks kinda... idk... like it's trying too hard? IDK I don't care
I'll play a new Doom hell yeah
Quake Champions? Ehhhh
I need to play Prey already
I need to play these Wolfenstein games, see what the fuss is all about.
Fallout 76 looks... not great. IDK I like the idea of basing new creatures on West Virginian folklore, but there's like dragons and shit? And I'm building towns and nuking other players towns? Ehh idk about this, I'll have to try to get into the beta or wait for reviews.
I was hoping for more on Starfield.
I knew it, TES VI would be mentioned! That looked like it could be Hammerfell or High Rock to me. I was hoping for Elsweyr or Black Marsh, but I'll play a Hammerfell game, hell yeah.

Ill do the same as the poster above:

- Dont really care at all for RAGE 2. Even with the loud tone and explosions it seems very generic.

- FUCKING DOOM YESSSSS! One of the greatest games of this generation gets a deserved sequel. Teaser looked fantastic.

- A Prey expansion? Wayyyyy too late for this. Shouldve just made a stand-alone.

- Wolfenstein... eh. Ive played them all but they arent really standout games in my opinion. Feels like its too soon for a new one, let the last one breathe dammit.

- Im an Elder Scrolls guy over the Fallout series. (I really didnt like Fallout 4 a lot) But this looks like it has the potential to be a super fun co-op experience. This could be at the detriment to a proper Fallout experience though.

- Elder Scrolls 6... FINALLY. I love Skyrim but for the LOVE OF GOD let that game die. Well be seeing this in about 4-5 years I think. People hanging for a 2019 release are delusional at this point lmao.

The logic of announcing not one, but two new games with no gameplay for next gen systems makes no sense to me.

"Hey here are a couple of games that haven't been made coming out for systems that don't exist yet"

I'm not buying his next generation comment referring to next gen systems. I think he just meant next generation as in an advancement in gameplay/style/presentation etc over their previous titles. With that said I'm betting on a holiday 2019 release for Starfield and a release for TES6 around the same time next gen systems come out so they can put it on both gens for maximum revenue potential.

No cyberpunk either

From the poll I would say Im most excited for dying light 2 simply because elder scrolls probably wont be released for at least another five or six years

Contrary to how much the Internet tends to masturbate over Skyrim, and the old-school grognards won't shut up about how awesome Morrowind was and how everything since will never live up to it, you're not really missing much.

And I say that as someone who doesn't necessarily dislike Bethesda games (I'm literally perfecting one right now, actually). They just tend to be the height of absolute mediocrity.

They're usually pretty-looking time-wasters. If you're actually looking for something deeper either in terms of narrative or gameplay, you're probably better off looking elsewhere.

Doesn't mean it's still not cringey af especially since their last major release between FO and TES was hot garbage compared to what they've made before, it just makes it worse.

Also TES6 is not coming out for at least two years+. They had nothing to show and threw together a 20 second trailer cause they knew they had nothing to show
