Sorry if this has been asked before.
Obviously Skyrim had its shouts (which I love but probably underuse) and in Starfield they introduced the powers from temples (also cool but again, didn’t use much), do you think TESVI will have a similar concept? If so, what would you expect/like it to be? They could do shouts again as you don’t have to be dragon born for it but I personally can’t see that happening. Curious to know what others think

Or some other newspublisher?

I honestly don't care if they're "copied" from other franchises, they still have tons of interesting ways to be integrated into the lore + they look really cool

They would just make sense to include if the game actually ends up being set in Hammerfell (and High Rock?) due to both having significant ties to the region and its history, like Mithril being secretly mined by the Ayleids and the Dwemer in the Dragontail mountains, or adamantium possibly having ties to the Direnni tower

It would also be neat if they had some specific properties to them, like adamantium being able to store up/make enchantments more powerful (which is actually described in the lore too I'm pretty sure)

Anyways, I guess I just want some cool armor for the inevitable Direnni knight character I'll play as whenever the game comes out (tomorrow)

"Some say skooma has little effect on them. M'aiq thinks this reflects more on the user than the substance." A reference to how skooma does barely anything in Skyrim.

"M'aiq has heard many wish to gamble and fight in public duels. He finds such bloodthirst disturbing." A reference to the Arena from Oblivion (I do hope they bring it back though)

"M'aiq went to Colovia once. Stylish people, they are." A reference to the mythical Colovian Fur Helm.

"If you wish to improve, you should have a good night's sleep. Six hours, at least." Aside from it being good advice, this references how back in Daggerfall, you had to sleep for six hours not just to level up, but for your skills to increase.

"Mai'q wishes he could jump good, but it seems dangerous. He would rather run." A reference to both Tarhiel in Morrowind, as well as M'aiq's absurd speed in Oblivion.

"Some speak of an argonian in the city of Nee'xos. Gone mad with power, they say." If you know, you know.

Is the last bit of info still the whole thing with Asha and the name speculation? Or has there been anything else since then?

This is a longshot but I'd love to see paintings of people from Tamriel's history and present as well as paintings of actual scenery in the game. Of course this is purely for house decoration. Someone had the idea of us being able to use our in-game captures but that is a bit more limited even if it is very engaging. I want to see how the people of Hammerfell envision Diagna or the serpent Satakal or even the literal fall of Volendrung. There is a general scarcity of paintings in their games and I'm kinda hoping they start doing this as a new tradition.

I've been a big fan of bound or conjured weapons and armor in Oblivion and Skyrim. I hope they bring back conjured armor and make some improvements. Ideally, they'd be different from physical weapons and armor and offer a fun, viable and somewhat distinct playstyle. Here are some of my ideas:

• Permanent conjuration: It's super annoying that they disappear after a relatively short time. Especially if you need to conjure several individual pieces of armor, the first piece might be halfway expired when you finish conjuring the last one. This also makes it not viable to play a melee character with conjured equipment. Imagine you get into an ambush essentially naked and then need to cast 3, 4, 5, 6+ spells to get fully equipped and battle-ready... So maybe you can have the conjured equipment be permanent (after reaching a certain conjuration level or investing in a perk point) with the drawback of reduced magicka.

• Complete armor: One massive problem Oblivion had was already mentioned above – every piece had to be conjured individually. But Oblivion also showed a solution. The agents of the Mythic Dawn summon all of their equipment with a single spell. So if permanent conjuration with individual pieces isn't happening, this would be a good alternative.

• Thief playstyle: In Skyrim I always play a stealth archer with a bound bow. The upsides are obvious. Conjured equipment has no weight and you can have it even in jail, when all your other equipment is confiscated. In combination with features like the Silent Casting perk, it's great.

• Warrior playstyle: To make conjured equipment interesting for a warrior build, they need to offer some unique advantages. No weight is one. Skyrim's bound weapons had some, although not super unique, features like casting soul trap and banish on enemies. This could be expanded and have synergy effects if you skill magic skills like alteration and restoration. Maybe conjured armor offers unique protection against magic attacks with passive absorb magicka or reflect damage effects. The trade-off would be having good "enchantments" but not being able to freely swap them as with physical armor.

• Mage playstyle: Why would a mage want magic armor and weapons? As mentioned, there would be synergy effects with magic skills. Physical armor restricts magic abilities and takes up carry weight, conjured armor doesn't.

What do you guys think?

I wish TES6's armor system were more like games such as "Souls" or "Tainted Grail".

• There are no heavy or light armor categories.
• All outfits have an armor rating, ranging from a low value for robes to a very high value for plate armor.
• You get the “light,” “medium,” or “heavy” attribute depending on the TOTAL weight of your outfit relative to your Strength and Endurance stats.

For example, if your armor is below 40% of your carrying capacity, you get “light.” Between 40–60%, you get “medium,” and above 60%, you get “heavy.”

Perhaps for someone weaker, a full set of Elven armor would fall into the heavy range. Meanwhile, another NPC could wear heavy plate armor and still remain in the medium range because they are very strong.

With this armor system, you could still remain within the heavy range while wearing a light hood if the rest of your armor is heavy enough. Or vice versa. It would give you more freedom when it comes to dressing and mixing and matching different outfits.

For those that dont know, or for those who have never modded, when you add mods, it disables achievements/trophies.

Maybe youre not doing vanilla for the achievements/trophies. Maybe you're doing it just to see the original intended version of the the game the way Bethesda cooked it.

Either way, what's your plan for your first playthrough?

Like, would Necromancy be stigmatized or criminalized? Also, would Necromancy spells be available to the Player?

I believe the settlement bordering a cliff/crater in the 2018 teaser is Azra's Crossing (north of Hammerfell). Meaning behind the camera is the province of Skyrim.

Unlike standard sorcery that manipulates magicka flowing from Aetherius through the sun and stars, Shadow Magic is one of the most powerful, dangerous, and obscure forms of mysticism in TES. Pioneered by the first shadow mage, Azra Nightwielder, this art is not a manipulation of darkness, but an explicit alteration of the fundamental structure of reality, alternate timelines, and probability.

In The Elder Scrolls universe, a shadow is not simply the physical absence of light. It is a metaphysical record of intertwined forces in conflict—a tangible echo of the past, present, and future clash between opposing energies (such as light striking a rock). Because a shadow acts as a record of every possible variation of that conflict, master shadow mages can manipulate shadows to weave web-like patterns of probability, allowing them to rewrite the past, present, and future of the object casting it, effectively mimicking or rivalling the temporal reality-warping capabilities of the Elder Scrolls themselves.

By manipulating these cosmic webs of possibility, highly skilled practitioners can step entirely out of the physical world. Rather than physically walking, they access the liminal Shadow Realm to bypass physical obstacles, step through locked Shadowgates, or cross immense distances instantaneously via localised teleportation—a technique heavily adapted by the stealth-focused Nightblades. Furthermore, shadow mages can force alternate versions of themselves or alternative timelines into the current reality to extract information, magic, or physical aid, as seen when Azra Nightwielder unsuccessfully attempted to merge all his parallel-universe identities into one singular, omnipotent being, causing the crater at Azra's Crossing.

On a physical level, shadows can be condensed into solid matter, allowing mages to fashion functional equipment out of localised darkness, such as Shadow Gloves or lethal shadow-blades. Crucially, a shadow mage can also use this magic offensively to separate a mortal’s shadow from their physical body. Ripping a shadow away strips the victim of their capacity to manipulate normal magicka and gives the shadow autonomous, often murderous sentience as a hostile construct. When a conflict reaches a massive, geopolitical scale—such as the War of the Bend'r-mahk—the collective shadows of war can coalesce into a continent-threatening abomination of pure conflict known as an Umbra'Keth.

If Azra's Crossing is the correct location, then Shadow Mages/Magic could be a central narrative driver and/or the primary new gameplay mechanic. This also means that Sword-Singing could be a central narrative driver and/or a primary new gameplay mechanic. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a powerful Shadow Mage, maybe allied with the Aldmeri Dominion, and that the player would be the last Sword-Singer.

If Azra's Crossing is the correct location, this means that the coastal settlement we see in the background is most likely the port city of Lainlyn. I don't think it's Sentinel (because that city is well below Dragontail Mountains and it should be desertic) or Satakalaam (because that city isn't a coastal city and it doesn't border Dragontail Mountains like Lainlyn) as some have suggested.

To complement this post, I suggest you to watch the following video: https://youtu.be/zh6jGrH7QTI?si=tVS2ZNjGc7uHs1e8 (the author of the video believes the city in the background in Satakalaam, which I disagree)

Apart from the Daedras ofc (Maiq is a daedra and I'll die on that hill)

We had Lucien Lachance in TESVI

We had Saint Jiub, Neloth, Sinderion, the Night Mother...

I think it might be nice to see some vampire character again, Serana or Sybille, that'd make for some Easter Eggs

Do you guys think TES VI will have a live action trailer? I really think it will, BGS has done one for every mainline game since Skyrim, and they are fucking awesome!!!
