They just make a bad first impression, I guess. Between Mr. "Oh I could totally help you with my brother, but I'd be violating my knightly vows!" and "BAWWW Auri-El doesn't love me! I'm going to do some stupid bullshit with prophecies because I consider Auri-El beyond my reach!" ("Get on my level, scrub" - Marukh, probably).
Behold, your ultimate Elven hero:
tfw your mastercrafted enchanted breastplate gets penetrated by a sword thrown by a 12 year old girl.
Wasn’t Landfall trademarked many many years ago? Illiac Bay is also known as Starfall, although I feel like that title is to close to Starfield.
The Dominion would be great as a Caesar's Legion esque joinable faction. Backstab up the ranks. Learn crazy magic. Oppress the muggles in gold trimmed drip
You can't really be a bad guy in Elder Scrolls. You can but it's under very specific conditions, has some nuances where you're justified and aren't really the bad guy (like killing bad people), and/or has almost no real overarching consequences to anything. TES6 evil will be safe edgy, cartoonish, Reddit tier nonsense and people will laugh at, but if you so much as wonder why you're not allowed to join the Dominion, you're demonized way worse than someone who-for example-gave Mannimarco the Mantella or wanted to join Dagoth Ur...or downloaded that one child killing mod so they can kill children (in a video game to be fair, and not all uses are the same).
Literally Daggerfall, it was cool for its time and still is...when it works of course. It'll be far worse if done now, especially now that its harder to fill in the gaps with your imagination. We've also had handmade dungeons from Morrowind to Skyrim so to go from that to procedurally generated dungeons would kill a lot of the exploration for a lot of people. Look at Starfield, randomly generated from templates that often repeated itself because there aren't that many templates lol.
I wouldn't trust Emil-Bethesda to be able to write the Aldmeri Dominion, not after 76 and Starfield. Hell, can you imagine Skyrim quests with Starfield's stupidity? "This guy has an item you need, and there's exactly ONE way to get it, seduce his trans daughter. No, you aren't allowed to kill him, break in, wait until he's distracted, or get help from his wife. There's one and EXACTLY one quest path."
I wouldn't mind randomized quests, like small pointless caves that when you enter them are one of say a dozen different random small caves, maybe with the 12 existing in the world every playthrough and the specific entrances to each one are different each time. Give them random "themed" monsters (this time cave 7 is full of vampires, last time it was full of bandits, maybe next time it'll be a bear den) and you'd be doing pretty good.
Wonder if we'll get to build boats with a hole in the center of them making the other ships unable to target us.
Oblivion dungeons were "handmade" in name only.
True. The textures are near the same in every dungeon.
They were also made by basically stitching together from a selection of pre-made tiles, so map makers could quickly jigsaw dungeons together
It's not even textures, I'm pretty sure there are just sets of "rooms" that are linked together like lego pieces.
