Elder Scrolls The Elder Scrolls VI - officially announced but you'll have to wait

[Deathsquid]

What the fuck is it with these 0-effort trailers? Wow, this game will have terrain and sky! FUCK YES! Yeah no we don't have any gameplay to show until our own event, why are you even asking?

 

[SausageInYourFace]

Where is there such huge majority for High Rock as setting, you guys know something that I don't?

Well the trailer has you flying high and there are rocks in the distance. It's really pretty obvious when you pause and think about it for a moment.

 

[SausageInYourFace]

Just like the trailer for Skyrim had you fly through the sky and see the rim of the continent, or like the trailer for Daggerfall had a falling dagger in it.

 

[Feyd Rautha]

Shouldn't you be able to decide where it is from the landscape shown in the trailer?

 

[Valloo]

I think its both High Rock and maybe some parts of Hammerfell, the High rock is the smallest region of Tamriel and it would be really lazy (yet again) from Bethesda to make a game exclusively in this region and knowing Beth's you can probably travel thru HR in like 10 minutes.

What, like Imperial Province in Oblivion?

This teaser is so low-effort it's hilarious. I've seen PS3 games with better graphics. They probably didn't even start preproduction yet if this was the best they could muster.

I wouldn't call this low-effort. It's an in-engine landscape art test to show off what they are aiming for prior to engineering all of the tech for it.

You just said it's low-effort with more words.

yes a gamebryo screenshot is actually negative effort at this point

 

[Moonrise]

Headcanon, coming through. Y'all can laugh at me in ten years if I'm wrong.

 

[CyberWhale]

Terrible reveal. You may not like how Skyrim ended up as a game, but it had a pretty decent trailer.

 

[Consul]

Calling it now, the game will be set in Hammerfell. Why? Because it's the homeland of Blacks (Redguards) of course. It's 2018 for fucking sake and (((Zionmax))) won't miss an opportunity to remind us of that.

I can imagine your reaction if they had released Redguard this year and not in 1998.

 

[M. AQVILA]

High Rock? What a disappointment. I was expecting something more exotic. Even Hammerfell would be more interesting.

Then again isn't Orsinium in High Rock?

 

[Sacred82]

Black Marsh or bust niggers.

 

[The Wall]

Location of ES VI will be....your mom. And it will be the biggest Bethesda game made ever...

I was 23 and trying to remember the name of the guy, of that Persian King, that made nice nice with the Jews and, like, let them take asylum or some other weird yet rad ancient world shit. And maybe, just maybe, if Tamriel was the United Colors of Benetton... I could make the pirate hero a black guy.

And that's why Obama got elected.

[mfkndggrfll]

High Rock or any other name with a K

 

[Monkey Baron]

How does anybody get hyped by low effort teasers like this? All I see is a rendered generic landscape. It's ironic, right? My friend even sent me this gem:

???

 

[Werdna's Revenge]

lol, beth spits out the most lw effort crap they can and you queers eat it up lol.













It's Highrock

 

[taxalot]

They rendered a random picture of a landscape, then went online, and someone reported to Todd

"They say it's High Rock."
"Which one is it already ? Dig up that guy in the team who likes Elder Scrolls and ask him to draft a design document from that."

Why would the province's relative size compared to other provinces mean anything? The games are set in scaled-down versions of the world - the capital of Skyrim doesn't actually have a population of less than 100.

High Rock consists of several Kingdoms, they can make it as big as they want. In fact, it would probably be a better idea to limit themselves to a small part of High Rock, as trying to fit multiple Kingdoms into the world map is going to make it even more obvious how small the world is. Skyrim could barely present a diverse, infighting province, and that was a single, until recently unified Kingdom.

Black Marsh or bust niggers.

Didn't they just announce some Argonian DLC for TESO?

 

[Shoggot]

Of course it's effort, cause minimalism and "slick" stuff is what the trend is. The less they actually show, the more hype they get. It's the logic of "the less they show, the more and awesome they have in store". It actually works on people, who genuinely love Bethesda.

This type of marketing is actually rather effective and when done right, it deserves all the applause it gets.

Unfortunately I have absolutely no doubts that Bethesda uses it as a shade to hide how cheap and lazy they are. Same went now with Fallout 76. 12 hour of stream, nothing more than a old fashioned logo and Pipboy. So slick and minimalistic, they sure must have something big.
Ah, it's just Fallout 4 turned online. Meh.

I can already imagine the gameplay reveal of TES6 in my head and how they will again as always try to hide how actually lazy and cheap is that gonna be.
