TES VI: Sentinel Prerelease Discussion

[Doublezero]

TES VI: Sentinel revealed. This is the third trailer for the game, and there is still no gameplay.

And to no one's surprise. Good thing Skyblivion is coming soon (maybe).

Sentinel looks like a small place. It's probably too early to say, but if the game takes place there, the map is going to be tiny.

I read/heard somewhere that Bethesda has confirmed the game play will center on ship and fort building.  No mention of roleplaying.  I bet Sentinel is going be another grindy GamePass time sink.  I'm still in the 'fuck you, prove it' camp.  Too much shit from a company that can't deliver will do that.

I'm beginning to think that they are going rush this game out to appease Microsoft, and it is going launch barebones, on a tiny map, with Fallout 4 style base building being the main focus, while selling the rest of the map as DLC. That's what I glean from the little information they've given us. They would have been better off waiting until they had something to show.

Starfield's failure was hidden by Game Pass; I don't believe TES VI will have that luxury.

This is from AI, so take it with a grain of salt.

Story Direction — Reported and Speculated

According to The Verge’s Tom Warren, Sentinel will be the first Elder Scrolls game to focus on the history of the Elder Scrolls themselves — the mysterious ancient artifacts that contain knowledge of time, space, and prophecy Dot Esports+1. This would expand on their brief appearances in past games, where their origins and powers were never fully explained.

Sounds like a week main quest story.

Setting: Hammerfell, home to the Redguards, with possible naval and stronghold gameplay

Yeah, we knew this already.

Era: 4E 206, potentially during or just before the Great War between the Thalmor and the Empire

Lol, during the Great War? I'm calling it now: People are going to slam the game and call it a $80 Skyrim expansion, especially if the game world is smaller.

Quote

The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel story is expected to blend Hammerfell’s cultural backdrop with a mythic quest into the origins of the Elder Scrolls. While the official reveal gives no plot details, the reported focus on these artifacts and the 4E 206 setting suggest a narrative that could reframe the series’ central mystery and set the stage for future conflicts.

For now, fans should treat all plot specifics as speculation until Bethesda provides official synopsis or gameplay content.

the strange thing is the games were different. Or so I was told by some modders over on LL and elsewhere. It was slightly different and still sucked. I had game pass from a present that was given to me. So I tried it. I really tried to see if I could like it. I was told by fans to complete the first part and get out in space. I did that and it promptly crashed, repetedly. I gave up. More accurately by that time I was fed up with the bugs and horrible animations and story. 

Starfield stil survives as a PC game. People mod the crap out of that game. They spend hours developing ships (apparently) and compare them on line. (one of my Discord servers)  They love it. 

You are likely correct TES bullshit will likely fail on xbox and consoles but I honestly believe there will still be some that will eat that shit up and promote it out their asses till the end of time. I still get the same crap regaridng Fallout 76. The main question  I get is have you tried it recently? It is much better now. So much better now. 

Unlike CDProject Red's Cyberpunk which did have substantial improvements over the past couple of years. I dont see anything Bugthesda creates or maintains having the same results. IN fact. their changes have broken old mods that were central to peoples mods list because they decided to change shit to make their Bullshit club better. I started to try to mod fallout 4 and gave up. Do I use the old mods, news this version or that version. Roll back this and do that. It was already a headache to mod the game to begin with didn't need this added to it.

He's wrong about the 2018 trailer, but everything else...
