The Skyrim/Elder Scrolls thread

Dont like the idea of a "modern" elder scrolls.

[San Lumen]

all that could fit in a modern setting

How?

The gods and Deadra could still be worshipped. People still practice magic, monsters still exist in caves and in the wild. The concept has been done before in film and television countless times

TES set on Masser in Fifth era with just Khajit and Dunmer after re-appearance of Numidium has caused apocalypse on Nirn.

While I enjoy invoking Kirkbride as much as the next guy, C0DA is nothing but a badly written fanfiction

[Dresderstan]

We already have a "modern" TES, it's called Fallout we don't need a modern day version of TES, I'm fine with the fantasy elements already, making Tamriel, hell all of Nirn like that feels so forced and fanfiction like.

It’s an idea to be left on Deviantart, never in an actual TES product. A ‘modern Tamriel’ doesn’t feel right at all.

No, just... no. Leave TES as it is, don’t sully it with a crappy ‘modern’ take, please for the love of God.

Well it was meant tongue in cheek.

Like someone mentioned. I guess "modern" Tamriel would be just finally somehow reverse engineering Dwemer tech and possibly some weird clockpunk tech getting prominent.

I just said it feels forced, going from swords and bows, to guns and bombs, from small villages and cottages, to urban sprawl is not what the game should be about. It's supposed to be that old school fantasy styled Dungeons & Dragons feel, with magic, elves, swords, bows, adding modern day elements takes away from that feel entirely. Plus if you tried to do that, you'd have to add a megaton crap of lore into it when we already have thousands of years of lore, hell we have 200 years between Oblivion and Skyrim, why add thousands more?

Seconded. Tamriel is medieval fantasy, that's its genre.

It was just an idea. down the road it could be a thing

In the words of Sheogorath:

Lumen you really need to stop this thing you do where you repeat a question that's been answered multiple times.

I'd honestly argue that if we had to pick a 'modern ES' game than it would be Dishonered or Witcher.

It could happen down the road. Skyrim was 200 years after Oblivion

Hey we need some Altmer around.


Some of em are hot.

Also some of them are not Nazis, thats also important.

So genocide? I hate the Thalmor as much as the next sane person, but that is kinda taking it a bit far...

I'm kidding, of course. I don't support genocide. If I did, I'd be a Stormcloak.

I'm actually intrigued regarding what a "modern Tamriel" would be like.
