In es6 I would love a chance to join the dark brotherhood or the tong considering both are weak during skyrim (yes you kill them in the dragonborn dlc) but who's to say they can't be in hammerfell they might hear rumors about the dark brotherhood returning 2. What if we can perform the Black Sacrament before we join, then the tong try to kill you, which leads you to destroy the tong or hire the tong to kill someone then maybe if you killed. a dark brotherhood member, you can join the tong if you're a dark elf, maybe they trust you to maybe give you an infotration mission to kill the dark brotherhood

[@chrismeandyou]

As a Breton Spellsword, they better have all of Daggerfall in this. Not just Hammerfell since I dislike desert/plains because they are boring. We rightfully are very worried about the low quality of Bethesda games these days and can only hope Microsoft puts them back on track.

[@vulkanofnocturne]

A thing I want that might be niche; The player shouldn't be able to walk up to a Jarl/leader at midnight when he is asleep and start chatting. Perhaps asking the steward to get the Jarl, if its important enough - in the name of game mechanics.

Except we are the thane in skyrim, so unlike in oblivion, we are a member of the court just like the stewards are.

Bit presumptive here. Are you seriously trying to say that the people at Bethesda aren't Elder Scrolls fans? Mate, I'm the last person to defend Bethesda, but the Elder Scrolls was literally a home-brewed DnD campaign at the Bethesda game office... I'm pretty sure these people are fans! Just be aware of your own hyperbole - I get the frustration that Bethesda just seems a bit aimless as a studio but I think that's down to their aged technology and outdated design philosophy.

I mean, we did get that one statement from a lead who flat out said "yea, the game will very possibly disappoint fans," if you wanna count that

[@dahliahawthorne4151]

I mean videos like this definitely drive the disappointment since the real game is never going to be as intricate and well-designed as a fan idea simply because fan ideas don't come with budget and deliverable, KPI, employee illness etc considerations. I would absolutely love the Elder Scrolls 6: Dominion as described in the video, but realistically, ain't gonna happen. What I hope is the devs would implement several of the ideas like the tags/skills/racial categories in some way, so that fans will be able to deepen those systems with mods. I think in the future it will also be possible to mod in stuff like different NPC reactions as voice AIs are now getting to a level where you can just use an AI instead of hiring the original voice actor. Please note I'm not saying studios can replace voice actors, especially not for big emotional scenes.

I’d like to add A 4th pillar to complete the Elder Scrolls Table. Collection. Whether it be cool artifacts, armor or weapons, having A lot of great gear to collect, and even display, I feel is an essential part of The Elder Scrolls Experience. I get that feeling from particularly Morrowind and Skyrim.

[@atlanderwrites]

I would *really* like a better place to put my stuff-perhaps a storeroom in player houses where you can name containers like in ESO (but without capacity limits). I try to organise my armor/weapons/alchemy ingredients/stuff to enchant, but it always winds up spread between several rooms and it’s a pain to go back and forth.

[@gaminreasons8941]

Walking around your Fancy House with all sorts of bits and baubles from your adventures on display is such a nice feeling. Even if you're the type where you just stuff all the Unique stuff in a Chest, scrolling through it reminiscing about how you obtained them or even the things you did with them before "retiring" them.

[@KyleDGrizzly]

@atlander4204 Maybe some display options like in Legacy of The Dragonborn to show your accomplishments.

[@KyleDGrizzly]

@gaminreasons8941 Yeah. Not to just hate, but I feel like that’s A major thing that Starfield got wrong. You didn’t really HAVE A lot of those things in Starfield. All the unique weapons/armor felt like just retextured versions of another non-unique armor set or weapon. And to top it all off, NG+ destroys the concept of looking back at what you’ve accomplished and acquiring all the gear and seeing EVERY location, because (SPOILERS) if you go through the unity, you lose EVERYTHING besides your stats, but if you don’t go through the unity, you miss out on rare and unique armor/weapons.

[@elliotbishop231]

One thing I definitely think would benefit from being taken from ESO and applied to TES6 is the concept of motifs. Motifs could be collectibles and part of a smithing skill line that would basically allow one to find, research and then make armour in a particular style, being completely cosmetic and allowing variation to things like steel armour. For example a set of Breton steel armor would be the more knightly plate where a set of Nordic steel armor would have the furs and Nordic carving patterns while still functioning the same stat wise. It’d add immersion for crafting characters to be able to make the weapons and armour they’d prefer if they’re perhaps proud of their culture, or maybe with for instance Dwemer armor spend a lot of time studying the aesthetics, even if they can’t yet shape dwarven metal.

On the City Orc: additionally, while city or imperialized orcs won't know about stronghold culture, there may be few who decide to reconnect with their heritage and study it, perhaps even going so far as to find and speak to stronghold chiefs or liaisons to document their findings, collect orc relics, and make other efforts to keep orc heritage alive in spirit and memory, although they may not themselves live like them. Some might even have small shrines to Malacath, not so much for worship alongside the divines, but to enhance the memory of heritage. Maybe Malacath tolerates this, because it enhances his overall power and helps maintains his foothold in Mundus.

I want there to be a soft-cap for what top tiers of factions we can get to. Like maybe if I've gotten enough infamy, no matter what accomplishments I do in the Fighters Guild, I am never going to be offered Guild-Leader status, due to my infamous past, but maybe I still qualify to be on the Guild Leader's inner council. Also, I want a mage's guild that feels like an actual school. Where I need to either train under a mentor or take on my own apprentices before I can be part of the Mage's Council or whatever. I don't just want to be doing Indiana Jones, but with magic, or fighting evil wizards, I want it to feel like... well a guild, a place where people train, exchange tricks, and impart knowledge to newer members.

[@Xalantor]

The player being the leader of several faction or even just one was always ridiculous. The position of an organization leader is like 90 % paperwork and politics. They'd have zero time to just up and disappear to adventure for weeks on end; and if they did the organization would swiftly replace them. Getting into an inner council are being offered an honored advisor position should be the the highest rank the player can get.

Something I'd like to see for equipment is a sort of layering system. Similar to Kingdom Come Deliverance or Dragons Dogma (the first one). Like where you've got a clothing layer, under armor, plate, tabards, etc. have some really customizable outfits and gear. Idk how exactly to balance enchantments around that though, maybe you can only slot one enchanted item per bodypart (head, chest, arms, legs, ring + necklace), with the exception of some unique equipment. Or maybe you can only enchant certain equipment types/layers at certain enchanting skill levels or with certain perks. Also, I really hope they update and innovate with the combat systems. Love Skyrim, but it felt out of date when it came out. I will suffer through it if I have to though, I love the world of elder scrolls too much not to play ES6, but it'd be nice to have all the bredth of a Bethesda game with intricate and engaging systems to match

… Holy heck. Not just Drew giving us 4 hours on lore for the Nords, but now come 6 hours of FudgeMuppet goodness?! You guys are awesome! Can’t wait to give this a good long listen. Also, great name for the game!

[@ronokoftherainlords4184]

Having a visitable parents sounds kinda funny. Me: Hey, Dad, I married an orc woman. Dad, the Breton Lord: *Has a brain aneurysm*

[@ClericOfPholtus]

Come to think of it... Does that work in TES? Like is it a Star Wars thing where some races can cross produce Or is it like Star Trek where it's considered impossible outside of scientific (divine/magical) tampering?

[@ronokoftherainlords4184]

@ClericOfPholtus In the restoration skill book "Racial Philogyny," it's stated that the child predominantly takes after the mother, although some traits of their father persist. Even though that doesn't explain how Bretons came to be so idk

[@shone4781]

Hopefully not a giant desert procedualy generated full of radiant quests

[@grot777]

Proooobably more likely. Whatever though. Long as the mod support and community is there, It will be awesome 3-5 years after release.

[@metalsludge8205]

but a giant dessert sounds tasty

[@ClericOfPholtus]

Definitely going to be that 50/50 on whether it'll be flooded with modern culture war politics

[@aszapata10]

Michael and Scott trading bars like Big Boi and Andre 😭 I used to pray for times like this

[@TheForbiddenLean]

I feel like I'm already nostalgic for ES6, having anticipated and talked about it for the past decade.

[@DanielKong-pq7gv]

6 hour flight 6 hour video. No brainer decision! Luv y'all stuff

[@johnjsneed7591]

Whole video had me planning a build for a game that doesn't even exist, I think it's over for me

[@Agnostikerlee]

Absolute respect to you guys for making a 6-hour long video about our hopes for the new Elder Scrolls 6. We all have high expectations and are placing a lot of hope in this game. I sincerely thank you for creating such an in depth video, which paints the ideal picture and brings to life the fantasy of how Elder Scrolls 6 could truly become something amazing for the fans.

[@Cypher652]

Crazy that in 1000 years we probably only have 65 elder scrolls games

[@MrHihowryou]

A little ridiculous that Bethesda hasn't reached out for some kind of collab with FudgeMuppet at this point...

[@TjByers369]

Can't wait to RP a portly, short prince, woodelf bard.

[@symbiotesoda1148]

In a perfect world, you guys are the creative directors of Bethesda.

[@8cladgamer210]

I love the idea of cultures in character creation

[@Trigarta]

Many years ago you got me into Elder Scrolls lore. I can't thank you enough for that. This epic video seems like your magnum opus. Well done!

[@BP-dn9nv]

You know, if you ever get bored of making games based around Hammerfell and High Rock, I wouldn't mind you make videos like this for other provinces like Black Marsh and Elsweyr. Even if we might not get them while we're alive, it's fun to speculate.

[@portaldimensionsrpg2073]

I never realized that when i was a teenager watching all your videos so were you guys lol. I may not be as passionate about elder scrolls as you guys but apparently ive grown up alongside you guys with it and thats awesome

[@eggzacklee]

Emil will get this video linked to him, see the 6 hours lenght, and say "naah story doesnt matter make the protagonist the chosen one again and make him shout in a different way"

[@attackboss6]

I want the main story to be completely absent until midgame, then through casual play and finding factions to get into it leads into one of various endings

[@cylondorado4582]

That sounds cool. The idea that’s been bouncing around in my head is one set in Summerset Isle, and then you can join the Thalmor or a resistance against them. I didn’t play a ton of ESO, but I did see a good bit of Summerset and I thought it looked cool. And I also like the idea of introducing more Altmer that are opposed to the Thalmor, since I feel like a lot of people act like they’re just the same thing now. The Skyrim character I spent the most time on was a rogue-ish High Elf with the head canon that she was fleeing the Thalmor after they killed her husband for speaking out.

[@YankeeWarlord]

I want the Veiled Heritance 2.0 as a faction

[@socialistDysphoria]

Yep, I like that Nice RP

[@lacticaddictluke]

I feel like this would be a good small bridge game between 5 and 6 great idea

[@cearlach32]

I would change how you get into the dark brotherhood. So you can either go to the town where you will hear that a resident is looking to hire a guard for a dinner party or at lv 15 you get a letter saying they want to hire you due to your renown. So you go to the party and there are 4-6 guests with the party host, and they have locked the house up where no one can leave, like in that one dark brotherhood mission from oblivion and the host is murdered and one by one they all get killed well you try to solve it till its just you and one surviver who then says there not the murderer so you must be and turns on you forcing you to kill them. Then, a false wall opens up where the dark brotherhood assassin comes out clapping and explains that everyone but you had the hit on them due to them all being the worst people and having survived they would like to invite you to join, this could also be a future player home that you can buy after the quest

[@unturned55]

The Dryfenn Wyrd are an AMAZING idea. 10/10 video!

[@GoldenValleyPictures]

You guys put so much work into this. It's impressive. I hope you guys are able to make a mod and implement some of these ideas in ES 6.

[@ibnhe9024]

Amazing, I reallly like the Alik'r confedarcy and the legendary Warlord who can summon ancient Yokudan Arts.

[@kensprivateinvestigation2128]

Wild to think, Skyrim came out shortly after my oldest daughters first birthday. She’s about to start high school and there is a chance that she could graduate from high school before the next elder scrolls game releases. Even my youngest daughter was born just a week before fallout 4 came out and probably won’t see the next fallout main title until she’s in or has graduated from high school. At this point my own mortality comes into question. Will I live to see the next release? I’m only 31 but this world is unpredictable and I could be gone tomorrow.

[@deptusmechanikus7362]

You’ll get *nothing* and be *thankful* when Toddhead releases modding tools for us to make the game ourselves

[@mitjakocjancic2205]

I LOVE the idea of choosing culture ar character creation. Stating that one is a Nibenese Imperial as soon as creating the character is amazing.

[@Omenvreer]

Was a teenage when Skyrim released, can't wait to be in my late 30's when I finally can experience my first Elder Scrolls 6 bugs.

[@waterbottles393]

Normally I can't stand extremely long videos but this was absolutely spectacular! I'd seriously suggest getting together with modders to try and make this a reality because as complex as things like the faction interactions are and the absolutely massive map this would need, fan projects have produced incredible results in the past and you guys have made an actionable and solid plan for what could be the best Elder Scrolls game by a country mile. I loved every minute of this.

[@baswar]

It's been 10 years? Damn i was like beginning my A-levels when i watched one and now i'm engaged by this one wtf. Legit got a second ideal ES6 video before a ES6 lol

[@HovJigga]

Man i hope someone shows this to Todd and he copies it verbatim. Or just hires you both and Drew for the writing/design team that they SHOULD have

[@iDocDude]

I’d like some more Khajiit stuff then Skyrim like their weapon/armour styles, maybe a traveling monk of the desert winds that can teach new unarmed techniques.

[@whispro4646]

Wow this is incredible guys, I can’t wait to watch. Also it’s crazy that that was 10 years years ago, I personally haven’t been watching you that long but it’s almost that, maybe about 8-9 years. Honestly your guys videos have helped me out when I’m going through stuff throughout the years so thank you. I really enjoy your content and it’s been great to see your channel and you guys kind of grow and develop over the years.

[@stripedrat7745]

I know it’s not going to happen but I’ve always thought it would be cool if ES6 was called “The Elder Scrolls VI: Dominion” but they actually went all out and made it take place in Elsweyr, Valenwood, AND Summerset since they’re all fairly small provinces and it’s all about taking down the thalmor from the inside. I know they’re almost definitely going to do hammerfell but i can dream

[@cibriis1710]

Have thought if this might be the route for VII.

[@k--music]

In another world this game came out in a timely manner and this video was one of those 6 hour retrospective reviews in the lead-up to elder scrolls 7's release

[@R.E.-Gato]

FudgeMuppet feels to me like the voice for all of the Elder Scrolls fans who remember what so many other gamers seem to have ignored: that Skyrim and the other ES games are first and foremost roleplaying games. When I try to explain to friends that I like to develop backstories and personalities for the Skyrim characters I create, it feels like I’m just as likely to be met with a raised eyebrow as I am a nod of approval. I’m not saying that other people are playing the game “wrong”, but I hope that TES6 leans more into its rpg elements than Skyrim did. I love all of the suggestions in this video, and I sure hope Bethesda listens

[@amazinghorizon8270]

Well that is the point. Skyrim is not an RPG first anymore. It is an action Adventure game first and an RPG second.

[@ElectricBuckeye]

I liked KCD's leveling system and the various buffs and debuffs, both timed or permanent, based on what you did during the game (i.e. what kinds of weapons you used, what you ate, drank, or potions you took, how you could only gain certain bumps in attributes by reading, but having to learn how to read, etc.)

[@Just_Addd_Water]

in terms of romance i think a good example would be a local lord or lady seeking a consort preferably of nobility but with caveats of: being rich, be a renowned warrior or hero, be a high ranking member of a desired alliance/faction, being beautiful/handsome, or having a really high int/speechcraft skill and seducing them. maybe being a renowned warrior means the nobleman/noblewoman might make you their marshal or captain of the guard if they dont already have one. if you are a powerful wizard maybe you become a court mage/enchanter/alchemist and they ask you to brew powerful potions, enchant artifacts or clothing for them or cast a charm spell for them. a very niche thing would be the ability for offspring which would have to be done right or itd be weird. maybe it does the whole fade to black and it skips a few weeks and the noble lady is with child and over the course of your adventure the pregnancy will progress and eventually you will have a child or your own who will one day rule this fiefdom. maybe in cases where either your races are incompatible or maybe one of you are to old so you have to adopt a child or find a family member suitable to become heir. i realised this got kinda weird... oops

[@sullyg97]

Crazy to think I’ve been watching you guys for 11 years! I hope Todd watches this, because this is exactly the ES6 game we need for his final game
