Certain races and cultures should have gay marriage either approved or banned as no way in shit gay marriage is going to fly in extremely conservative Dumner culture, or hardened Redguard desert dwellers, or the chilled nords. Of course such restrictions would make certain people angry, but I believe such restrictions would actually make the game world more fleshed out.
 
Bethesda is going to do that thing where they are "inclusive" by doing the least amount of work possible.

Gay marriage was possible in Skyrim, but mostly because it was more work to make NPC's have preferences than anything else.

Trannies will be in the next Elder Scrolls simply because some of the women will look ugly and they'll probably fuck up and give some male voicetypes and just never patch it.

They'll get points with the twitter nig worshipers by throwing in Sword Singing Redguards being Kangz and shit, but it will turn out that was always the plan anyways cause they needed a gimmick to follow Shouting.
 
if I had a genie in the bottle, I would have the Redguards getting buck broken by the Bretons of Daggerfall-Camlorn, as is the traditional roles of the two races. But alas, Black Chimpouts Matter will not have any of that, especially with Micro(dick)Soft(brained) now at the helm, at least morrowind/daggerfall fans are still racist in TES circles

Fallout got rid of skills. what if they just have perk points and perk trees for Mage, Warrior, and Theif?

Interesting how Skyrim ditched the attributes in favor of skills, while Fallout 4 ditched skills in favor of the attributes.

I don't know, I find it fascinating how both games did the same thing but in opposite directions.
 
What if you collect power ups in the next one to raise your health/magika/stamina?

Maybe Todd was trying to tell us something by throwing Links shit in the Switch version.
 
Best case scenario is the Redguards go full Stormcloak and genocide the Orcs, while the Bretons continually sperg out and Imperials and Nords don’t give a shit.

a race war in elderscrolls would actually be interesting. Like the 'civil war' concept in Skyrim was an interesting back drop even if it was cosmetic in the base game but greatly expanded on in mods. Having a system that locked you out of certain towns/quests would make multiple playthroughs worthwhile vs the dragonborn king of everything approach.

Agreed, but they'll never do it to that extent. I think Bethesda is against locking players out of shit even though it feels like Skyrim is one of the most replayed games based on what people tell me.

I'm honestly surprised more modders haven't just modded that kind of stuff in. Unless they have and I just missed it.

Skyrim gets a lot of shit, but the whole Civil War is on point. Stormcloaks have a cause that seems right, but is ultimately wrong, the Thalmor have a cause that seems wrong, but is ultimately right, and the Empire is vainly grasping for relevancy. Add in that both the Thalmor and Stormcloaks are definitely just using their ideals as excuses to enforce a supremacist ideology and stringing along sympathizers, it’s impressive. I think it has more to do with execution. Were this Forgotten Realms, we’d have to listen to fucking Drizzt or Elminster ramble on about it. Here, it’s just presented to you, the characters lack any overbearing pathos and just are.

Yes..I don't mean to 'hate' on it but I just felt it could have been expanded on within gameplay. 'Losing Keeps' at times to the other side on top of being locked out of areas you haven't conquered. The mods I've seen adjust things like armor values...add more skirmishes but they don't address the deeper issues that come from skyrim being 'mile wide inch deep' open world. The overall concept is pretty enthralling and i hope elder scrolls VI keeps up this internal conflict that seems like a natural course of action given how diverse tamriel is

Huh? How is undoing creation "ultimately right?"

I want to know how fighting against Nazi's hauling away citizens for their religious beliefs is ultimately wrong...

The Skyrim Civil War is weird in the sense that it lacks so much depth that people wholesale imagine shit that isn't actually present. (not that is bad for personal playthroughs, but it becomes a fucking mess whenever discussions come about)

Also how fucking fanatical people get over the sides even though it's obvious as shit that Bethesda is just going to pull a "nobody won" asspull like they did with Daggerfall.

Skyrim was the least racist Elder Scrolls yet and people still freaked out because Ulfric had the audacity to not put refugees up in mansions.

There is also a bunch of dialogue that suggests that the Dunmer refuse to swallow their pride ( Belyn Hlaalu's dialogue and the two Altmer who have integrated themselves) that is stopping them from getting work. They are also racist towards the Argonians and the Nords (Suvaris and Ambrays). There is also evidence from the Dragonborn DLC that there was a large amount of crime caused by the Dunmer population.

Most damning of all is how they do very little to participate in Nord or culture society at all. It's hard to understand the overwhelming hatred of outsiders (even foreign-born Dumeri) that Dark elf culture has if you have never played Morrowind. They don't fight for the Stormcloaks because: "it's not muh fight" (even though there are loads of examples of this IRL: see French foreign legion or Irish fighters in the American civil war.) The Dunmer treated outlanders like shit during their golden age (even if it was the end of said golden age) but expect the Nords to treat them better for less return, all while Skyrim is in the midst of one of its biggest crises its history.

Do you think that the Dunmer would treat the Nords better if waves of Nords were immigrating into Balmora?
