I find it genuinely baffling that there’s been literally zero leaks from TESVI. It can’t just be that “there’s nothing to leak,” because even that itself would have leaked, plus we know that there’s a build of some kind.

GTA VI: an entire early build leaked and set the internet ablaze.

Destiny 1: huge internal storyboard leak that caused a restructuring of the campaign

Battlefield V: had an entire alpha build leak that made me regret my preorder

MW2019 had a significant leak if I remember correctly

Halo Campaign evolved has been leakier than the Titanic.

Hell, even Starfield and Oblivion Remastered had significant leaks, granted not everyone actually believed the oblivion leaks but still.

The question remains: how on earth is Todd managing to lock this up so tight? My guess is that Bethesda has been using closed loop servers to store data, terrifyingly draconian NDAs, and good old fashioned team discipline to keep this shut down so tight.

Thoughts?

-TESVI: Covenant
-Release date: 11/11/28
-Setting: High Rock, Hammerfell, the far western reach, southwestern Cyrodiil
-Civil war in Skyrim enters ceasefire when dominion invades mainland Tamriel and take the province
-shipbuilding, Thalmor constantly conducting like dday style landings kinda like Terran armada but amphibious
-no randomly generated terrain
-KCD2 style combat, kinda
-backgrounds and traits return but there’s five slots for traits and hyper granular build control
-thieves guild, DB, rebuild the mages guild, priests of arkay, real bards college, loads of religions, crowns/forebears and three competing Breton knightly orders. Some factions are mutually exclusive
-MQ: MC has to go to a bunch of shrines and discover the mystery behind yokuda
-Second Great War is a series of quests as well
-Once you reach a critical point in the MQ and second Great War, the quest lines combine since the zero stone is the answer to both the war and the MQ
-based on whether you unite or divide the Bretons kingdoms, crowns, forebears, reach, stormcloaks, empire etc and what you do with the zero stone, ending is different, likely another dragon break
-Can make items Divine like in TES blades so you can use whatever you want for aesthetics without handicapping your build
-Daggerfall, Redguard, Oblivion remastered, Starfield, Skyrim references galore
-Handful of references to the three banners war

Christmas 2027 is 563 days away.

While:

The 2024 American election was 584 days ago.
Game awards 2024 was 547 days ago.

So sometime between then: that’s the amount of time from now until a 2027 winter release. Just for context

For anyone checking the sub now, fyi. This is a safe space to cry.

Today is the day that the tomorrow meme becomes the today meme. Today is the final tomorrow. For after even an eternity of tomorrows there must eventually be a today. Otherwise what is tomorrow but never?

Which of the following do you see as the most likely outcome? Personally, I see option 2 as the most likely. Much as I’d like for it to be ready, it’s definitely not. I mean, they just put Starfield down. I suspect that Todd is just going to load this game up for as long as he can with as much as he can.

On a side note for all my Christian brothers out there: The patron saint of Maryland is Elizabeth Ann Seton, the patron saint of the internet and technology is Isidore of Seville, the unofficial patron saint of gaming is Carlos Acutis, and the patron saint of hopeless causes is St. Jude.

Once upon a time there was a little boy. This boy liked Elder Scrolls.

One day the little boy got bored. So, at E3 2019, he shouted, “This must be the Elder Scrolls 6 reveal!” Everyone ran to him. But it wasn’t the reveal, so they went home.

Another day, the Starfield trailer came out. There was a scratch in the cockpit. “Surely,” the little boy yelled, “That must be high rock and Hammerfell!” And everyone came. But it wasn’t. And again everyone went home.

And then, at the Game Awards, he shouted and shouted. “The statue must be Elder Scrolls 6!” He said. So everyone ran to him. But when the game awards happened, and there was no elder scrolls, only Divinity and Highguard, they all went home.

Finally, at the Xbox summer showcase, Todd appeared. And he showed the little boy gameplay from Elder Scrolls 6! “Come hither! Come hither!” The little boy cried. “Todd has finally shown us the game!” But alas, the townsmen had lost all hope, and so they did not believe the little boy.
