After waiting this long, what do you actually want Bethesda to focus on with TES VI?

Personally, I’d love to see more RPG choices and decisions that actually affect the world around you.

I also love just wandering around with no real objective and enjoying the music, so I really hope TES VI captures that feeling again.

What’s the one thing TES VI absolutely needs for you?

Next month (September 20th, to be exact) marks the 30th anniversary of The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall's release.

If TESVI really does take place, at least partially, in the Iliac Bay, do you think it's plausible that we get some sort of information drop for the 30th anniversary? Maybe the confirmation of the subtitle.

Sload, Maormer and Snow Elves in TES VI?

What do you guys think are the chances of the Sload having a major role in TES VI? With Thras being relatively close to Hammerfell and their whole history with necromancy and plagues, I feel like they could make really interesting villains.

Also, if the game has a big focus on the Abecean Sea, what are the chances of seeing the Maormer? Maybe as pirates, enemies, or even part of the main story?

And what about the Snow Elves? The surviving Snow Elves we meet in Skyrim are hidden in the Forgotten Vale, right near the border with High Rock. If TES VI really includes High Rock, I wonder if Bethesda could use that connection to bring them back somehow, or even reveal other survivors.

Out of these three — Sload, Maormer and Snow Elves — which do you think is most likely to show up in TES VI?

The events of Morrowind are, in essence, localized to and mainly pertain to the politics of Morrowind. Dagoth-Ur (Pbuh) is vanquished, the wretched Tribunal overthrown.

Ultimately, Uriel Septim gets simply more centralized control of a colony by destroying rival sovereigns and their sources of their local autonomy.

Oblivion ends the Septim Dynasty, but at the time of the game itself, it doesn’t become clear any major changes will take place. And these changes take decades after the game. The game ends with Ocato firmly in charge, and it takes few decades for things to go to crap

Skyrim either the Nords become independent or the Empire reasserts control. The empire either slowly begin to rise - or just continues its decline.

But Daggerfall’s events recreate the world, as due to the Dragonbreak, all the following events happen at once:

-Tiber Septim undergoes apotheosis and becomes the god Talos retroactively.

He changes Cyrodil from jungle to temperate zone upon godhood retroactively.

Talos becoming a god here will have massive ramifications in the future, as the Altmer view his divinity as an insult and the rejection of his divinity and worship becomes one of the core conditions of the White-Gold Concordat, which in turn helps fuel the Skyrim Civil War, as Talos is sacred to the Nords.

-Daggerfall, Wayrest, and Sentinel all overcome the smaller powers of the Bay and essentially cancel each other out as threats to the throne.

Rather than city kingdoms among hundreds of others, they become the three main powers of the region.

Arguably, Sentinel being strengthened here gives it more power to help its own fight for semi independence later

-The Orcs gain Orsinium and are seen less beastial going forward, and are integrated into the Empire as being a “civilized” race.

-The Empire is temporarily strengthened with the ending of the Illiac Bay Wars, with the Blades taking possession and putting down the Empire’s threats one at the time.

-Mannimarco becomes a God; and his soul is split in two.

-The Underking at long last regains freedom and becomes among the Gods.
