Surely, multiplayer games look more promising on the surface. With Bethesda and ZeniMax under Microsoft and the latest terrible decision regarding Fallout 76, I honestly worried that Bethesda will force Elder Scrolls 6 to be a multiplayer game. In my mind, giant game companies prefer to build multiplayer games rather than single-player ones. Let's hope it keeps the terrific tradition with Elder Scrolls 6. Yet, I will be content with the same level of Skyrim Creation Kit.īethesda already has a good tradition with modding for Fallout and Elder Scrolls series. Of course, it will be so much better if Bethesda could deliver a more comprehensive Creation Kit compared to the one for Skyrim. That's why I still have hopes regarding official modding access & support. Yet, Gears 5, made by Coalition, is not moddable and it's published by Microsoft.įortunately, the jury is still out on this and, as far as I know, Microsoft does not actively forbid its developers to block any access to modding. To be fair, modding access also depends on the publishers too.

However, modding access for The Outer Worlds (by Obsidian) is really pathetic when its previous game (Pillars of Eternity 2) - before acquired by Microsoft - has official mod support.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 even has its official SDK to create mods. State of Decay 1 and 2 are also moddable. Under Microsoft, it's a hit or miss regarding modding access. I might not be as worried as of right now if Bethesda, or rather ZeniMax (Bethesda's parent company), hasn't been acquired by Microsoft. However, with good modding access and its communities, we can have endless new contents to try as long as the communities are still active. Usually, single-player games will have a shorter life-cycle compared to competitive multiplayer games or successful esports titles. Those games are still being played years after its release date despite of being single-player games.
This is also the case with Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 4, and Fallout 3. I'm not sure if Bethesda agrees with me on this, but the main reason why people are still playing Skyrim almost 10 years after its release date is modding and its communities. With that being said, these are some hopes that I have about Elder Scrolls 6 (ES6). I also like Fallout 3 and think it's on par with New Vegas, even many people will disagree with me.Ĭonsidering it will be at least 2 years from its release date, it's still reasonable to have some hopes fulfilled- if by any chance someone from Bethesda Game Studios read this. I know most people don't like Fallout 4 but I love it so much. I have to disclose that I am a fanboy of Bethesda games, particularly the single-player ones (yes, no Fallout 76). Nevertheless, I still have some hopes and some concerns about Elder Scrolls 6 considering Skyrim is one of my favourite games ever. I know it will be a long wait before we can dive into a new adventure in Tamriel again since Elder Scrolls 6 will be released after Starfield, which we know nothing about either. It’s only a matter of time before we know where exactly The Elder Scrolls 6 will be set, but I for one would love a return to High Rock, where we can see it in all of its undisputed glory.Considering it will be at least 2 years from its release date, it's still reasonable to have some hopes fulfilled.Ī while ago, Bethesda teased us with a tweet about Elder Scrolls 6. High Rock is a land known for its dangerous, powerful magic, and this crater could very well have been the incident that sets us off on our new journey across High Rock.Īll of this is speculation, mind you. There’s also the little question of the crater.
The grand, ruined castle? Another pointer to the Breton-ruled High Rock, where power politics and social climbing are key. The serene ocean could very well be Iliac Bay – a vast, calm ocean set between two powerful nations. Despite this, however, the teaser screams High Rock to us.
The likes of Black Marsh, Valenwood and Elsweyr haven’t been given a look in as of yet. There are areas of Tamriel we haven’t traveled to, however. Nor is this the brown marshlands of Morrowind. The snow-covered landscapes of Skyrim this is not. While these may be tenuous links, it’s the best we have to go on. Indeed, High Rock is looking relatively likely thanks to the vast mountainous coast of the trailer. High Rock, too is an incredibly mountainous region. The grassy mountains showcased in the teaser trailer are a highlight of Hammerfell’s spacious climates. Elder Scrolls 6 High Rock or Hammerfell: Where is the Elder Scrolls 6 Setting?
