Skyrim’s lead designer, Bruce Nesmith, has shared his thoughts on The Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5, singling out a few locations that he thinks could serve each game well for a setting. He also talked about one part of older Elder Scrolls games that he would like to see return in a hypothetical The Elder Scrolls 9.
Nesmith was asked by Press Box PR where he thought the “most interesting” place would be to set The Elder Scrolls 6. He said he would take the game to the Elven lands and the Summerset Isles.
“I think that would be a break and a change from the more gritty and ordinary stuff that has been done with the Nords and Cyrodiil,” he said (via Insider Gaming). “It would allow you to go back a little bit into the high fantasy and I’ve seen what the Elder Scrolls Online guys have done with that region. I think they did a bang up job and you could tell some really cool stories there and make it a little more elf-centric.”
