The Possible Factions In The Elder Scrolls 6

[@chadnorris8257]

I would like it if the Hammerfell Thieves faction was pirates. Less skulking in the shadows, and more raiding merchants for booty.

[@totalygamingtemplar]

i would love that so so so so much

[@octavianpopescu4776]

I was thinking the same thing, that there should be a wildcard bandit faction (pirates would be perfect for Hammerfell), allowing you to maybe take over some places, build a base, stuff like that and another faction... or maybe not even a faction per se, but more like a career, I'd want my character to be able to buy and rent property, to set up a business, having trading caravans or buy other businesses.

[@lyka1392]

Like the crimson fleet but with more pirating and less espionage

[@kingsadvisor18]

How about this: a thieves guild AND a pirate Confederacy? They're natural rivals and as the player character you can join one and wipe the other out or bring peace between the two

[@TheTrueBigWill]

You see those warriors from Hammerfell? They've got curved swords. Curved. Swords.

[@enderpwny]

The dark brotherhood will definitely be in the game just like how fallout can’t shake the brotherhood of steel

[@ant8ank2]

I agree. a new assassin faction would be cool to have in addition. But elder scrolls without the Dark Brotherhood just feels wrong.

@@connorbarton4308 that’s fair and would be a better reason than why the brotherhood of steel is in fallout 76

[@Version0111]

I mean The Night Mother was already a corpse who chose people to speak to spiritually. Even if you kill off the guild she can always find someone else to speak to and give contracts to. As long as people keep doing The Black Sacrament, there will always be a Dark Brotherhood.

[@magnushood3896]

Hammerfell can absolutely have an assassin faction based off of the Hashishi order where the word assassin comes from. If I recall correctly they were very religious and would under go a ritual where you were brought to the afterlife a paradise with rivers of honey wine and what not. Could be cool

[@kgm4556]

Crown extremists that want to remove all foreigners, and strict worship of the pantheon. They could have connections to a bandit group of black robed wearing extremists. Might be a little on the nose, given real life, but could be cool.

[@AArrow-]

It was a political Shia sect of Islam, the afterlife thing was just heaven, which if you were a good person you would go to a paradise with said rivers.

If it fails I see Microsoft doing some major house cleaning, possibly giving the franchises to different people.

[@octavianpopescu4776]

One thing I'd like to see in game when it comes to factions aren't just new factions (I'd want a wildcard bandit faction, pirates would be perfect + a business faction/career, I want my character to be able to buy and rent out property, set up trading caravans), but an inter-faction dynamics system. In Skyrim you normally have faction A vs faction B, C vs D, but you don't get much insight what does A think of C. What does the Dawnguard think about the Skyrim Civil War? What does the Thieves Guild think about vampires? Maybe not have specific missions (although that would be cool), but at least hear members of a faction talk about other factions which aren't their direct competitors. It would make the world feel more alive for me, that factions which may not be direct competitors might still have some influence over each other. I can imagine how the Thieves Guild would have been pro-Empire in Skyrim, since their protector Maven gets promoted to Jarl.

[@Edowin-jz2sj]

In Skyrim, I've always thought that if you join the Dark Brotherhood, it makes more sense to join the Stormcloaks simply because if you are an imperial, you might break your oath to the Emperor lol. Though of course, you can always complete the Dark Brotherhood before taking the oath.

[@octavianpopescu4776]

@@Edowin-jz2sj I know what you're saying, but his views on the matter are actually addressed. If you are at the DB mission where you have to poison the fake emperor AND at the same time you have to attack Solitude in the Civil War, Ulfric will put the attack on hold. He doesn't want to get the Empire too annoyed and bring down its full force. So the assassination isn't something Ulfric would approve of. There's a video called "Secret scene if the emperor is in Solitude during the Battle for Solitude in Skyrim" from a channel Timeng which shows the dialogue.

[@lagaul5124]

All that sounds nice. Sadly, I don't believe they're capable of making a game with factions with interesting beliefs, and complex relationships with other factions. Bethesda is deathly scared of presenting the player with branching decisions that lock the player out of content. Their heavy use of Essential NPCs in Starfield is the best Example of their mindset.

[@Odi_GO]

Unfortunately and it's a dumb move because if there's no essential npcs ppl would be way more inclined to replay the game multiple times to experience different approaches.

[@celestialdancer6293]

You’re spot on and in the interview todd howard gave with lex on youtube he even confirmed he wanted people to not restart their game to build a new class, instead making everything achieveable within one game class wise. It sounded a lot like he wished to dumb down the entire game setting.

[@ceedott]

Whatever ends up happening, I just hope they make it a bit more like Morrowind where you really need to work for a high position in the guilds, rather than having it just be handed to you in a few quests. If it is in Hammerfell I fully expect to see a lot of the Crowns and Forebears and all that but my biggest personal hope would be for the Ansei to show up, and that the player character would be able to summon their own Shehai. Guess we'll see in like a billion years.

[@mrcroob8563]

[@falloutjustcause]

To your point about the Dark Brotherhood, i’m pretty sure it’s implied the assassination of the emperor is going to be the rebirth of the origination after it spreads and that they’re going to get more recruits because of it. That’s what i took from the story at least. Though It would be cool to have another organisation birthed from the remnants of the Dark Brotherhood. I’d also just be wary of not incorporating the lore of such a major faction in a new assassins guild. That’s not to say your point is invalid cuz it could be cannon that the DB was destroyed and knowing how bethesda works they really could just not give a fuck about their lore, but it seems to me we’d get them back in the next game.

[@Version0111]

I've said it before but I want to see a full on heist in TES6. Like I want the thieves guild to introduce you to a bunch of different specialists in different towns and cities who can teach you a bunch of different skills related to thievery. Then the last big job is a Ocean's 11, Italian Job, Let's steal the Declaration of Independence, insane job that you have to plan. You put together a crew and get to pick and choose from all the specialist you've met or from the random guys in the guild (some of those guys you meet might not be so trustworthy). It goes wrong of course (because that's how heist stories go) but then of course you come out on top and get the job done.

[@michaelmamba1578]

Your usual videos ARE you sick. Lmao awesome vid. My personal thought on the dark brotherhood would be(depending on how long the difference from Skyrim to tesVI time wise) would be that you help create and establish the brotherhood faction in hammerfell or where ever it takes place, cuz unlike the thieves guild, who just had a rough patch, the brotherhood took massive hits, so ur character being one of the people who make it strong at least in that region would be cool imo

[@rickhouse4407]

My gut feeling is that the DB will be in ES6 because whichever DB path you choose in Skyrim Babette will survive. As a vampire she has the ability to survive for centuries and could become the new Speaker of the DB set in Hammerfell. It's possible that it could be partially set in High Rock and she's a Breton so it makes sense for her to go there to rebuild the DB outside of Skyrim.

[@cnut7383]

And obviously Nazir. Him going to hammerfell and babette going to high rock could be fun.

[@accaziahs.180]

A war with morag tong to expand the DB all across tamriel would be pretty sweet. If it indeed is in hammer fell I definitely want a huge battle with the altmeri Dominion.

[@rickhouse4407]

@@cnut7383 If you wipe out the DB in Skyrim Nazir is one of the targets for elimination. It's possible that he could survive by feigning death but it's likely that ES6 will be set 100s of years in the future. But who knows?

[@cnut7383]

Ofc. I didn't really mean he would actually be in the game but just have some link to the DB. Like maybe you could find a skeleton with a dagger in its back, wearing old tattered alik'r garb.. but the alikr dont wear red... then you find a note on the skeleton, talking about rebuilding the DB or maybe directions to a black door. Maybe even after you murder someone, you bump into an unassuming elderly redguard man who gives you a wry smile and says "we know". Something along those lines ya feel? I just like Nazir and think if es6 is in hammerfell then he must have some involvement even if off screen

[@rickhouse4407]

@@cnut7383 I think his presence in Skyrim is another indication that ES6 will be set in Hammerfell. He could get turned into a vampire by Babette after the destruction of the Falkreath Sanctuary. I don't think his appearance in ES5 is a fluke.

[@DeepFriedReality]

A bandit or pirate guild would be neat. Perhaps. Bethesda could use some of their wonderful random generation from Starfield to create a variety of scenarios on the open seas that could be pirate based. Microsoft does have Sea of Thieves, they should be able to collaborate to make a cool ship system the player can use.

I think another faction or factions to consider are the Orc Strongholds, I mean Orcs are very prominent in Hammerfell, there's bound to be a few strongholds scattered like in Skyrim, but this time we could have it so some stronghold are so that, if you are an Orc, they'll let you in no matter their affiliations, but if you are any race, some may be willing to trade with you but not allow you into the stronghold unless yo do a task for them or an Orc affiliated with them, but some will not tolerate you if are apart of a guild or faction and because of this some strongholds will never let you in.

[@TheBasedHeathen]

Personally, for the dark brotherhood, I would like for the story to be. There is a mercenary guild or faction that take "dark" quest for assassination since there is no presence of the brotherhood in hammerfell. But then, while doing an assassination, you get scouted by Babette who since she is a vampire, doesn't age and has been sent to hammerfell to start a base for the dark brotherhood. Then you can join with just like a handful of people and help the faction grow. possibly at the end, start your own base somewhere in hammerfell. By going back and killing the mercenaries, you joined in the beginning, taking over their contract.

A tiny pocket of Lefthanded Elves just trying to survive instead of planning the downfall of their ancient adversaries could be a neat if subplot. They are so terrified of discovery they go through absurd lengths to remain hidden. It would start with random miscellaneous quests, ghost stories, urban legends of a haunted desert, unnatural sandstorms, and gradually have the player discover them and either turn them over to the Redguards, allow them to remain hidden, recruit them for the forebears/crowns (the lefthanded elves are likely the only people who really know the old redguards history and way of life) or wipe them out yourself (Pelinal Whistrake would be proud). Likely never gonna happen, but I think it would be cool.

[@paulpoumet773]

But since Hammerfell is no longer part of the Empire and since the College of Whispers and the Synod are imperial institutions, we might not see them if the game takes place only in Hammerfell, or at least we will might see a bit of them but might not join them just like in Skyrim. Same for the Flighters Guild. Unless the game takes place before Hammerfell left the Empire, or after it rejoined it, or elswhere than Hammerfell in an imperial province.

[@masterneloth]

In ESO the 2nd empire was completely destroyed with only warlords left, yet the fighters guild and mages guild were still going strong. It seems that while those guilds have strong cyrodillic ties they are independent from the empire.

[@advocatusdiaboli9971]

I am sure someone had already mentioned this, but even if the Dragonborn choses to destroy the dark brotherhood, cicero and the nightmother "survive". So the Brotherhood will rise again. Even though, I would love to have a local assassin guild in ES6. If the developers desperately want the DB included, they can do so similar to Morrowind, where they are an antagonist. Maybe they are trying to reestablish themselves in hammerfall and become threat for the local assassin guild.

[@Paws100]

One thing that is probable in my opinion on the magic side is the inclusion of Shadow Magic, since it's main practicer Azra Nightwielder resided in Hammerfell toward the end of the 3rd era, as well as a whole town named after him. It would be cool if Shadow Magic was a locked tree that the player can't know about until being taught it or something.

[@RandomRikster]

I hope if tesVI takes place in Hammerfell that the protagonist gets to use those spirit swords you talked about in the "Greatest Warriors" video. That would be dope.

[@oonschi7216]

I think that the dark brotherhood would make a comeback due to the fact that they kind of respected the night mother, and as a result could've made a comeback in Hammerfell. This might be a stretch but since the Redguards respect their fallen ancestors, and look down upon those who have killed their own; it may be possible for a few Redguards to join the darkbrotherhood because of the darkbrotherhoods respect for their "fallen mother" the night mother.

[@cnut7383]

A lot of speculation on my part but nazir wears alikir style clothing which makes me think he was born and raised in hammerfell and/or is proud of his heritage. Him starting a hammerfell flavoured sect of the brotherhood seems plausible.

[@ogbubblebuddy4404]

stop giving me hope master Neloth

[@thatoneguy6744]

A cool little detail that I noticed about destroying the Dark Brotherhood is that Babette is absent, so I honestly believe that if the player destroys the Brotherhood it will rise back up thanks to Babette.

[@skyscall]

The potential for faction rivalries and worldbuilding would be huge if the game were like Daggerfall and set in Hammerfell AND High Rock at the same time. A map with the huge bay in the middle, with European-themed Breton lands to the northwest, and North African-themed Redguard lands to the southeast. Would allow for some incredible Mediterranean themed architecture, factions, and so on with rivalries a la Rome and Carthage. Maybe even a pirate or buccaneer faction or two in the ocean between them.

[@RedCell1948]

Are there any forsworn in Hammerfell?

[@masterneloth]

The Reachmen were at one point seen on the edge of Hammerfell in ESO at Bangkorai but they usually stick to High Rock and Skyrim.

[@Kummitusv6lur]

The Redguard distrust of Magic is mostly based on lines by single NPC and not certain if it applies these days even, there might also be a difference between how Forebears and Crown areas treat things. I see three options. A Mages Guild remnant/successor based in Elinhir, Stargazers or Psijics as a joinable faction this time.

[@masterneloth]

There is conflicting evidence in Redguard views of magic. The dialogue in Oblivion and the invasion of the Thalmor suggest hatred of magic. But sexy Neloth is also researching Redguard Wind Magic which suggests an alternate view on magic. Considering how Redguards view necromancy and magic in Oblivion and ESO I lean to Redguards having a similar view on magic like Nords.

[@myronmason8170]

@@masterneloth I agree that the distrust of magic among Redguards is a little similar to Nords. Redguards used to have respect for those who use magic/"cunning folks" and they even have a Yokudan god that is a patron of those who use magic, but they were always a very melee/martial focused people, so they grew to not favor magic as time went on and see it as a cowardly or evil practice.

While the factions of Skyrim were lacking, I liked that rather than having stereotypical mercenaries in the fighters guild and stereotypical wizards in the mages guild, they had guilds specific to the province. They had their own lore and place in society, helping the place feel more fleshed out.

[@BP-dn9nv]

Also, I see the term "Thieves Guild" as an unofficial application to various unconnected organized crime groups, so I don't have a problem with them coming back.

[@UncensoredScion]

I have nowhere to put this but here as I've never seen anyone do this anywhere and I just found this out like a half hour ago. IF you get a high pickpocket perk in Skyrim and you sneak successfully up to a Foresworn Briarheart, you can pickpocket them and steal their Briarheart and that immediately kills them without you ever having to land a single blow. Oh and the Mace of Molag Bal quest. If you want to avoid working for the Prince of Domination you just need to kill the Priest of Boethiah that's being held prisoner and you'll fail the quest, thereby making it impossible to complete.

[@Wuking93]

After the smash success of Skyrim, I wouldn’t be surprised if BGS made the Player Character “the last of the Soul-Sword people” and had a Word Wall style of collectable that gave your Soul-Sword different powers and attributes.

Change the dark brotherhood to the mage guild. One way to solve the magoc issue, also rule 1 of magic club. You don't talk about magic club, throw in some thief guild beginning quest et voila. New spin on an old trope

[@ennou1236]

I think there's 3 possible endings of the the dark brotherhood, "player aided", "player destroyed" and player ignored, if joined, with the fame of assassinating the emperor many people will probably want to join, possibly having a revival and new peak. If the player decides to destroy them then cicero will probably go into hiding and "satiate" his lust, possibly creating a new cult that may or may not have a new listener to steer things back on track, if ignored by the olayer instead, Astrid will probably find a way to kill cicero and take over the cult towards her "new" way and expand the brotherhood, expansion that may result inna new listener that may either be silenced or turn into the player aided end

[@legofan4409]

It has been a while since I did the Alik'r questline in ESO, but I do recall the Forebears and Crown faction, i.e. change and tradition. Would be cool to see something like this ES6, either embracing new things or protecting the old ways.

[@morganstuart8798]

Cicero was fleeing Cyrodil to skyrim, so it's fair to say that there's a possibility that the DBH in Falkreath was just the closest or safest (because of the war and thalmor occupancy) place to go.

[@fandomonium3789]

listening to this... we better hope that TESVI includes High Rock AND Hammerfell. Because we were JUST in Skyrim, and Hammerfell just sounds like Skyrim 2: Summer Edition. Favoring warrior playstyles, distrust of magic, strong history of thieves and assassins. At least with High Rock in the mix as a place that values magic, there's some variety between TESV and TESVI.

[@cnut7383]

[@moarmendariz]

Since at the end of skyrim per say, dragon dont go away, they stay, so prob a new dragon cult? ;D

[@cnut7383]

Dragonborn hunts down all the remaining dragons. Maybe there could be a quest where will kill a dragon with the help of the dragonborn or even a dragonborn follower. Not even that, it would be hilarious and amazing If we kill a dragon and it burns away and it's soul shoots off to skyrim to be ate by the dragonborn. Like how miraak steals ours

[@noodles24601]

The Dark Brotherhood is definitely not what it used to be regardless of which route you take with them in Skyrim, but there are at least a couple survivors either way. Crucially the Night Mother is kept safe no matter what, either staying with Cicero if you destroy the Dark Brotherhood or in the Dawnstar Sanctuary if you join them. And in the path where you join them the existence of new recuits at the end of the questline does seem to suggest a recovery is on the way. If TES 6 takes place too soon after Skyrim it would be difficult to justify a strong Dark Brotherhood presence in it, but I could see them being present in some form. It kinda would fill out the trifecta when taken in with Skyrim and Oblivions takes on the group too. In Oblivion we see them arguably at their height and then brought low by the end of the questline. In Skyrim we see them at their lowest point, only just starting to turn things around by the end of the questline. I think it could work to see them in 6 making their return to prominence in force.

[@connorbarton4308]

The crowns and forebears are probably political allegiances with many houses underneath, similar to skyrims civil war whereupon everyone picked a side

[@CHOTCNUTRL]

I think if the Elder Scrolls 6 is in Hammerfell the Ansei should definitely be in it somehow. The Ansei of old sunk Yokuda with their Spirit Swords so that could be a major story point, or at the very least a dlc.

[@xxarcangelxx143]

The dark brotherhood will probably still be around in some form. The night mother seems to be very persistent and much more than just a corpse/ghost. Be it a full return, small pockets or literal individuals being directed by the night mother. Or a cool idea is a cult like group where it's actually the night mother controlling or directing the head of the cult.

[@cdcdrr]

Another option I would like to see is factions from outside Hammerfell operating within the country to achieve their goals. We've seen the Thalmor try and fail to subdue the province by brute force. Obviously, they would be in Hammerfell to sow division and human disunity. Assassinating Imperial envoys who are there to repair relations with Hammerfell, stoking conflict between the Crowns and Forebearers, sabotaging the redguard military, persuading orc chieftains to make an attempt at founding a new Orsinium. Should the player feel inclined to help them for whatever reason, you would ultimately succeed in weakening the province and isolating it from potential allies, and ready for conquest. Opposing the Thalmor, you would finally be able to join the Penitus Occulatus, serving the interests of the Empire in Hammerfell. Strengthening ties with the Forebearers, who would be more receptive to rejoining the Empire. Protecting the assets of the East Empire Company in the region to replenish the imperial coffers. Smuggling supplies into the region to bolster the redguard armies and navies for raids on the Summerset Isle. And doing your part to ensure that in any future war against the Thalmor, the Empire and Hammerfell will be official allies.

Definitely think the Psijic Order could make an appearance EDIT - I see someone already mentioned them! Also I disagree with you though from being restricted from one faction if you join another.. just join the factions you want if you are role playing imho

[@MajorFletch]

They could make a new assasin faction. Would be a cool twist if at the end of that quest line the dark brotherhood forms again.

[@rosereviews2492]

It'd be pretty cool to rebuild the dark brotherhood in hammerfell

[@NCWV13]

I've seen a mod (I can't remember what it's called) where you can create your own faction (equivalent to one), so I think it would be cool if you could do the same in elder scrolls 6. Or if a High Rock dlc let's you create your own house. I know it won't happen, but it would be nice.

[@jdutchy5774]

Can you please do more of these about other regions?

[@bacd-nn2lg]

We can expect Blades to show up once again as one of the main factions.

[@Lordsarefan]

TBF, I do see the Dark Brotherhood returning. Cicero was still lurking around Skyrim with the Night Mother and when you destroy them, and Babette is nowhere to be seen either. I can see her returning, or being mention in the next Elder Scrolls game.

[@themasterninja110]

Nah, ciciro died. He dead.

[@KrystalcKobra769]

I'd like to see a db questline where you rebuild the brotherhood from the ground up. Maybe the guild IS extinct when you first start out, but then you kill someone and then start to hear a woman's voice in your head and start to have nightmares of a female apparition commanding you to reform the family. Maybe you even meet a scholar (whose name just so happens to be Motierre) and help find a sanctuary or something. I'm just spitballing here but you get the idea.

[@cnut7383]

Maybe find the last will of a dead old redguard man wearing black and red clothing with a hand print on it...

[@noahking9611]

I hope the Elder Scrolls 6 takes place in Skyrim and in hammerfell and Daggerfall

[@cnut7383]

It's possible... the daggerfall game took place in hammerfell and high rock and I forgot what he actually said but Todd Howard wanted to do some stuff like the old games before he was working at Bethesda.

[@isntbeautiful4950]

I’d like to see you being able to make your own faction and carry on from there or something like that

[@ghosvampie8512]

I'm really into being vampires and or werewolf in skyrim I didn't get enough hopefully they do more in depth stuff with supernatural creatures

[@cnut7383]

More clans or even viral strains of vampirism could be fun.

[@bugo5701]

maybe for the magic guild a traditional like redgaurd religious order would be fun maybe. for assassins this may sound weird but what about the restless league same group cyrus was apart, they could do political assassinations and the rival one could be the penitus occultus as a guild of assasians working for imperial interest in secret in hammerfell.

[@wesley4998]

I really think we’re going to see more than one nation in ES6. I think technology has progressed to a point that Bethesda will be able to have a huge map with overarching storylines.

[@iwanttobelieve9496]

I'm even more worried about TES 6 after Starfield, tbh. I really hope that game exists in its own little world, because if that's the direction they're going with their games from now on (shitty loot system, weak writing, etc), not even being the next installment in my favorite game series will get me to but it. 😕

[@no-one5310]

I didn't like the idea of being part of a dark cult killing in the name of a dark god just to play as an assassin. The assassin faction should just be simple hit jobs and sabotage with a spy thriller plot.

[@cnut7383]

Could combine thieves and assassins into one. The brotherhood were notably cultish and the thieves had a code of honour. A lot of groups in this underworld don't often share those aspects

[@mitchelllynn1722]

Hear me out: Nazir went back to hammerfell and rebuilt the dark brotherhood. I mean out of all the people that could’ve survived the DB’s destruction, it’s the REDGUARD and a vampire?

[@marcnolan2409]

So another words you'd like the fighters guild to be like the Legion vs the Stormcloaks

[@stevenceja4706]

I thought a vampire cival war would be cool. One faction could be about Lamar Bal and her Blood Scions with all new forms and powers and the other could mark a return for the Vamp Lords Disclaimer I haven't played Elder scrolls online so I'm not sure where that all stands.

[@alexisgonzalez5030]

If you destroy the dark brotherhood yourself I don’t think you meet Cicero and the night mother right? With them still alive the faction could make a comeback? Unless I’m dead wrong lol

[@KudaKeileon]

Even if the player destroys the Dark Brotherhood, they never kill Babette or Cicero. I can see them coming back; the Night Mother never gets destroyed, either.

[@MikeSiegert]

One thing that always bothered me with Skyrim was that you join a new faction, run a fetch quest or two, and then they go and make you their head leader. Makes no sense. There would be nothing wrong with just being a high ranking and respected member. I don’t need to become the master of every single guild.

[@DavidTheConkerer]

How can Master Neloth be sick? Ain't ya got a spell for that? :D

[@lokaluTheEGG]

good watch.

[@brendanmurphy3571]

Good video but upgrade that mic when u can brotha

[@chrishogarty427]

Had this on in the back ground and had to turn my head, if you don’t think the thieves guild or dark brotherhood won’t be around in the next game ur fucking crazy

[@Greaseball_gamer]

I wonder with the events after Skyrim will the blades play an even bigger role in ES6 as a faction if the main story takes place not so long after the events of Skyrim and if es6 main story is a war against the Thalmor. would the blades side with Hammer fell or does their loyalty still stay with the empire even though there butyral with the Thalmor. or will the empire side with hammerfell against the Thalmor.

[@jesiachord3179]

This fking game better be worth the wait. I’m jumping Todd Howard outside his home if it isn’t.

[@fVcker1]

Tbh considering how badly written the games been since fallout 3, it's best to hold off buying it since most likely it'll suck

[@anton_hansson]

So you're suggesting not buying any future elder scrolls games because they are badly written?

[@fVcker1]

@@anton_hansson yes

[@anton_hansson]

@@fVcker1 I don't think any reviewers have mentioned how badly written the games since fallout 3 were really except maybe fallout 4. The elder scrolls games were never about how well written they were anyway.

[@mrcroob8563]

​@@anton_hanssonIt will suck though. The last 3 games they've put out have been bad and getting worse. They're no longer capable of making anything of quality.

[@beafraidofinsectattack]

Is this how you honor the sixth house and the tribe unmourned?
