The One Thing I Need In ES6

Having so far played Morrowind and Oblivion, and currently on my first Skyrim playthrough, one thing I've loved and now miss is Michael Mack as the Redguard men. In general, of the pros and cons of Skyrim, the voice acting doesn't stand out as much as I'd like, considering the variety has remained mostly unchanged. Either way though, Mack is the Redguard man to me, so if ES6, set in the heartland of the Redguards themselves supposedly, doesn't have Michael Mack in at least a main role, I'm gonna be upset.

Recently, I was reminded of Nietzsche's idea of the Ubermensch, as one who can separate themselves from the sheeple's version of right and become their own/happiest self. And that got me thinking about myself in relation to others.

I can see myself as, at least partially, an Ubermensch, since I've gone my own way in some regards to making a happy life for myself. (I also feel part of the reason is I don't like what the average person is doing, regardless if I like my own option per se, but I feel like going there would get tangential, and likewise it still seems to fit with the definition regardless).

Anyway, as much as I do all that I do, I can't help but feel isolated. I feel estranged from others with how they can't relate to my likes, while me seeing their likes leaves me feeling both sickened (slight exaggeration) and like I'm missing out. As a result, while I don't deny a full-on Ubermensch being truly possible, I do wonder, did Nietzsche intend for it to be all that desirable? Is it somehow principally better to trade community for this individuality? Or is agreement still allowed between the Ubermensch and sheeple on the grounds that it's from a coincidental alignment rather than the Ubermensch conceding to others, and I'm just unable to find such a point in my own life? All I know is I've hardly read any of this part of Nietzsche, and I need help.
