Heh heh! Yeah, I barely remember Redguard. My first Beth game was Daggerfall, which a friend of mine introduced me to in high school. Been a fan of theirs from then on, and I've played just about everything they've done since.

I'm still patiently waiting for the Daggerfall Workshop to finish the unity port so I can play it again without going through hoops with DOSBox, because.. well let's face it, it's Daggerfall :p I actually started with Arena, was coming down from my Ultima Underworld high and found this unassuming game called Arena. And then I saw the map and it got me hooked xD So ofc I tried to get my hands on Daggerfall, but it took quite a while. I admit I really hated Beth for Oblivion (gief back my medium armor!) but they did improve on it with Skyrim. Even if I don't agree with the continued dumbing down of the actually rpg in it.

Also just as a sidenote, GOG has Battlespire, and DOSBox can actually emulate IPX over TCP/IP, so you can play it co-op over the internet. Tried it, and it works pretty fine :D (Also totally off topic, but we also managed to make NetMech work this way, if anyone still feels like playing MW2 multiplayer)

More speculations:

I've always believed Bethesda has literally volumes of TeS lore, unpublished but in their vaults. I reckon the story for Skyrim was existent in at least basic form since the early 2000's, truly.

Anyway, continuing with this belief, there are a few things in Skyrim that make me think Hammerfell is next.

These things come from one quest... "In my time of need".

Don't you find it interesting that a fairly inconsequential quest, that has nothing to do directly with Skyrim, is made literally unavoidable thanks to the location of those Redguard warriors? Hmm, indeed.

And the quest, when you pursue it, reveals an amazing amount of information about the current state of Hammerfell? How there is a Redguard resistance against the Aldmeri Dominion?

Now you'd be forgiven for dismissing it as fluff back in 2011.

But let's remember... This quest is unavoidable. Bethesda wants you to do the quest.

So my prediction for TeS VI based off current information & thinking?

Setting will be Hammerfell, and the main questline will revolve around a powerful necromancer and his undead legion, the perfect weapon against the honour-bound Redguard people.

But, in addition, there will be a war quest line akin to the civil war of Skyrim, only this time it will be the Redguard Resistance vs The Aldmeri Dominion.

Thoughts?

Also, the Ebony Warrior is a redguard.

A hint perhaps, of the future?

Interesting theory! You should consider that it's very likely that the next game will not occur near the same point in the timeline as Skyrim, though, at least juding from Skyrim and how it took place a long time after IV. Then again prior to Skryim most games took place fairly close together in the timeline if I'm not mistaken, so maybe? :)

That's correct. Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind and the beginning dungeon of Oblivion all take place under the reign of Emperor Uriel Septim VII.

My prediction is for TeS VI to take place 10-20 years after Skyrim.

I wonder... If the main quest is about necromancy... I don't think the antagonist will be of a playable race.

No, I think it will be a Sload, notorious for their skills in necromancy.

They're also amphibious, so if they try to invade, Hammerfell, with its huge coast, would be a likely staging ground for a Sload offensive against Tamriel.

Exactly. But the lore does back me up. The Sload people are naturally gifted in summoning the dead.

They also don't abide by the laws of Tamriel. Meaning their magic is likely wildly different to that of the provinces. In particular, due to the blob-like stature of the Sload, I suspect they make great use of levitation: A magic outlawed by the Empire through the levitation act.

Final DLC for the game: Stros M'Kai


Yep', I'm even predicting DLC!

It makes sense though. Morrowind = Solstheim DLC, Oblivion = Shivering Isles DLC, Skyrim = Solstheim DLC.

Stros M'Kai is also an island, off the southern coast of Hammerfell. A pirate haven, I feel that there's a lot of potential for the island as a final chapter DLC as with the above examples.
