The Road To Skyrim: From Arena To Skyrim

[SatanicTHC]

getting rid of acrobatics was A lame decision

[Theaterfiree]

Imo, I don't think that the next TES game should be all over tamriel. For me, I think that's a begginging thing, like you see the contenient as a whole, then you zoom into all the completely different countries over the franchises lifetime

[YeahImAnArgonian]

@Theaterfiree They won't do that. Provinces is the way to go.

[spencerdean94]

Wait so was the blade fighter in Oblivion a hint to Arena.

[Mawaraji]

IMHO Morrowind & Daggerfall > Skyrim > Oblivion. That is all. Also I was gonna root for a Elder Scrolls VI: Back to Morrowind, but i figured, heck, they would never be able to make the game better than it is right now if you take advantage of all the Mods you can use for it.

[MrCrackapot]

@koisanji

That was i what i was thinking about as well!!!

HIGH FIVE!

[koisanjie]

They should have another Elder Scrolls game that features all the provinces. It should be called Elder Scrolls VI: LEGENDS or something similar. And the race you choose to be will depend on which province you begin in, but the main story and a few faction quests will take you through all of them eventually.

[NerdGuy64]

@koisanjie You just described the first Elder Scrolls.

[Dstar6705]

hey, i never played the other 4 parts of the elder scrolls, just curious what role u play in them..cus in skyrim im dragonborn so wandering if in the other games im a dovahkin also or totally something else...lol..curious

[rmRAMbo3521]

@Dstar6705 your basically a prisoner in all of them then you become a hero

[AstroWaldo]

@Dstar Elder Scrolls I: Arena - Eternal Champion

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Indoril Nerevar

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Arena Champion

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Dovahkiin

In Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall your player doesn't have a name like the other games.

[TheMati108]

@AstroWaldo you mixed it up and there is name in the daggerfall

[Sigheg402]

The next game should be all over Tamriel

[Armortidge]

@Sigheg402 Comes with a External Hard-drive yerh?

[TheTreyVidz]

@Sigheg402 Yeah!! We'll just have to wait 50 years!!!!

[DarknessXER]

So does anyone think Bethesda will unleash Morrowind for free download to celebrate its tenth anniversary like Arena and Daggerfall?

[KyleDoman1]

Bethesda is awesome, by far my favorite game company. Cant beat the classic elder scrolls.

[wyliehj]

Next game should be in the Khajiit homeland (forgot what its called :/)

thumbs up if you agree!

[DarknessXER]

@wyliehj The land of Elsweyr is the word you were looking for ;).

[Geckoinc2]

4:37 pro camera man

[killbill12man]

tood howard looks like an elf!!

[OrxanHacizade1995]

Elder Scrolls VI Morrowind 2!

[Dugger1997]

Thumbs up for TODD HOWARD

[OdinOfRagnarok96]

Elder Scrolls VI: Atmora.

Home Of THe Nords

[GREENandYELLOW80]

elder scrolls VI= elswer

[TannerWeinberg]

Is there a site or actual books that talk about all of the regions of Tamriel and their histories?

[MrGswagg8]

next elder scroll will proably be in hamerfall

[Gislijohann]

@MrGswagg8 hamerfall has already been done :|

[PlochpReborn]

add campfires!!!!

[Leoashblade]

most epic ending of a video ever ... "STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!!!!" LOL xD

[roniszR]

I wonder how it'd turn out if they made a multiplayer game :D

[blacksushi150]

I hope they do like hammerfell next or something. and im not just saying that cause im black lol

[TheCritics1011]

Did he just say "fantastical?" Hmmm, probably, he's Todd Motherfucking Howard.

Thumbs up for Fantastical.

[Tiberainxx]

why am i watching this i should be playing skyrim!

[AntaresSquad]

at 0:10 is that the brotherhood power armor behind him?

[Peonsarepeopletoo]

@AntaresSquad Yes, as Bethesda developed Fallout 3.

[MrStrangermoon]

man ı am telling this guy became like steve jobs for gaming future

[undo1hundo]

when you say "ancient dragon language" you might as wall just say latin.

[DoctorFuhhney]

@undo1hundo the dragon language is in Latin. Neat!

[BurningWaste]

eh is a pretty cool guy he makes games and doesnt afraid of nothin

[francesthemutes]

@NymphetamineVille I so lol'd. Clever shit. Ha

[Yuurekk]

"and then Daggerfall.. (wait.. was i to say Buggerfall.. no it wont be good..) so it had.."

[thedragonb0y]

Planning on doing an entire Elder Scrolls Marathon/Documentary LP from Elder Scrolls I-V including Redgaurd and Battle Spire as my gift to Bathesda's work in the example of turning your dreams and worlds into something you can experience. :]

[TJPinoy]

Elder Scrolls VI: Mexico

[caliloco310]

@TJPinoy LMAO

[Lakermelon]

@NymphetamineVille I see what you did there...

[evil227787]

my ideas for elder scrolls VI are: #1))elder scrolls VI:the black marsh?

#2))elder scrolls VI:argonian adventures

[Sakirenn]

@evil227787 They always name their TES games after Tamriel provinces. "Argonian adventures" stands no chance in hell. My money is on TES VI: Elswyr.

[Elwood770]

@Sakirenn For the record, the only two games named after provinces are Morrowind and Skyrim.

[Sakirenn]

@Elwood770 Daggerfall proves you wrong, and even though Oblivion isnt a province of Tamriel, it's in the same world. Also, as he explained in the video, the first one was going to be a gladatorial combat game, hence "Arena". But you get my point, they wouldn't name it something like "Argonian Adventures".

[Elwood770]

@Sakirenn Daggerfall (Unless your getting confused with the province of Hammerfell) isnt a province nor is Oblivion. You said they always name their games after Tamriel Provinces.

But you are right, Argonian Adventures is a little silly.

[Tristormable]

@Elwood770 all though oblivion is a place

[dragnarok1134]

@Tristormable That is true but it still isn't a province in Tamriel nevertheless.

[xIISyphaxIIx]

@evil227787 Its time for the home of the khajiit to make an appearance, Elswyr here we come

[Ir0nF1st924]

@evil227787 black marsh sounds better

[inferno33222]

@evil227787 I was thinking maybe something like The Elder Scrolls VI: Valenwood, and have it take place before Skyrim does and focus on the war with the elves, or maybe be in Hammerfell and focus on how the Redgaurds split off from the Empire and how they have to fight both the Empire and the Elves during the great war, which would also take place before V.

[MrConph123123123]

I love this guy

[TheBoringBroadcast]

Next game should be in Elsweyr or Summerset Isle, y'know, a place where some of the other races originate, so you'd see more animal races or elf races around instead of impearials or nords or bretons.

[MegaRattlehead666]

@TheBoringBroadcast Morrowind was set in Vvardenfell which is home of the Dark Elves.

[DJBranden]

What I really want brought back is hand to hand...

Why? Because weapons are heavy and as a mage I want to rely only on myself.

So for my hands to be potent at killing close up and my magick being powerful from a distance, means quite large amount to me.

[JayGriffinblaze]

@DJBranden You still can, you just don't need to spend ages levelling up in a skill tree you will only occasionally use for most players.

In Skyrim, find and disenchant an unarmed combat item, and then enchant, gauntlets, rings etc. When you fight hand to hand, your Armour rating is calculated (there is a perk for this) to and adds damage to your blows. You can concentrate this by fortifying unarmed.

[09machine187]

@DJBranden and you think making your mage a brute street fighter will solve this over a dagger?

[DJBranden]

@09machine187

well, yes... even in morrowind I thought hand to hand was awesome, much better then any weapon because you just cast drain stamina and then punched them to death

[DAlegend247]

I need to buy that BOS model in the background! :-D

[assassinscreed5493]

At the very end I was gonna click on the boobs in the side bar but the guard was like "Stop right there criminal scum!'"

[Sigfee]

@NymphetamineVille You probably just started another Skyrim joke. Now I'm gonna see that EVERYWHEREEE. FUUUUUUUU

[mrtrafficstopper]

elder scroll VI be a dwarf :D

[wormsworld445]

actually in skyrim all the races feel the same due to the player voices

[xxlogandxx1]

I wish they would stop with the starting out as a prisoner thing. It was great in morrowind, ok in oblivion, boring in skyrim

[Moltheas]

@xxlogandxx1 I think it's good, and the skyrim intro was better than Oblivions.

[2321211]

@xxlogandxx1 i wouldn't say that, when you start the game in Skyrim it actually makes more sense than it did in oblivion.

[xxlogandxx1]

@2321211 It does make sense in Skyrim, but I hope they don't do it again.

[BadAssRedneck65]

The Elder Scrolls:VI Elsweyr will be the next game.....Sorry If I got the roman number wrong

[Sigfee]

@BadAssRedneck65 Nooooo Summerset Isle should be. :D

Summerset Isle has dissapeared for the last 100 years so I think that will make a more interesting main quest. Plus I'm dying to see what it looks like. Either that or Valenwood. Huge fucking trees like scyscrapers sounds awesome. Lol

[CorRomeister]

@Sigfee summerset isle didn't disappear, it was the island where the Psijic Order (oldest order of wizards in history) made their home.

[MPieter88]

@Sigfee

Actually i'm hoping that Summerset Isle will be the location for one of Skyrim's expansion packs. They keep saying in-game that the elves of the Aldmeri Dominion are the main bad guys nowadays, yet they never got their chance to shine in the actual Skyrim storyline. Infact, if you complete the Stormcloak questline, Ulfric even says there will be a war with the elves coming soon.

[Sigfee]

@MPieter88 Well yeah. If you help Ulfric the elves have a better chance of winning because you weakened the empire. But I think Summerset Isle as a whole region is too big for an expansion pack. If they did that then they would have to downgrade it a lot. If they make it at least as big as the shivering isle I'd be happy.

[MPieter88]

@Sigfee

tbh, i don't think Summerset Isle is much bigger than the Shivering Isles to begin with. Besides that, Skyrim is also a bit smaller than Cyrodiil, so in my opinion they should add a bit more space in comparison.

[JayGriffinblaze]

@MPieter88 Yeah true. In the maps Summerset Isle main Island is only about half the size of Cyrodil, Skyrim is 2/3rds the size of Cyrodil. But in the game itself Skyrim in size is closer to Morrowind than Oblivion, because of the sizes of the dungeons and the added elevation as opposed to Cyrodil's mostly rolling hills and plains. Problem is, only Hammerfell & Black Marsh are as large as Skyrim going by the map. Morrowind is the same size, as Cyrodil, but Vvandenfell is now uninhabitable

[SMTunit]

Bethesda needs to make a deal with the owners to the rights of Lord of the Rings and make an open world lotr game!

[clancym1]

when he talks about the big jumps that the series took, he probably had no idea that skyrim would become pretty much a must-have for anyone who plays video games.

[TheDerod09]

POWER ARMOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[299brody]

they should make one where your'e part of an expedition to Akavir

[th0n4r]

He is a GOD... nothing more i can say

[xxESPx]

no but seriously, bring back spears.

[zReflexxGaming]

gffffffb

[kevnar]

Everybody I know was fanatically waiting for this game for months, counting down the days, and then they went on a massive binge for two weeks, and then very quickly got bored of it and moved on to something else within three weeks. Is that just my group of friends, or is this sort of universal? And in a game that was supposed to be massively replayable, why do you suppose this happened?

[SoLiDlRelapse]

He's wearing blue socks........

[meben15]

elders scrolls 6, the dwarves are back and you are... DWARFBORN!!!

[d3a7hr0wasd]

@meben15 elder scrolls 7, FALMERBORN :D

[That70sShowRocker73]

@d3a7hr0wasd I think they'll stop the "born" thing on the next installment.

[xInstAkilL]

@meben15 Dwarfakiin.

[LanceAvion]

@meben15

Hmm almost, but not quite. You see you're missing a syllable, now would Dokiin be as catchy as Dovahkiin? nope. But Dwarfinborn? there's a winner and more accurately Dwemerborn as he's known in their tongue :P

[ElderScrollsFTWFTW]

@meben15 errr ever heard of the jar conspiracy?? REDDIT IT xD

[japoneses11]

@meben15 Elder Scrolls 6, Dwarves are back and whith even more power you the Hero of the time must destroy him using the ultimate fart machine!

[SherwoodDungeon789]

@meben15 Dwemerkiin?

[blockminer36]

@meben15 Good idea, but I think the next game should be set near the end of the Dragon War in Skyrim. I know it is not good to have a new game set in the same place as your last, but it would be interesting.

[MrDacedric]

@blockminer36 That won't happen, I'm 100% sure it won't.

[blockminer36]

@MrDacedric Keep calm and Brony on.

[HunterDT]

At 4:48, Todd explains why the games got dumbed down ;-)

[Warboyism]

BRING THE DWARVES BACK D:

[video166]

haha in that game informer mag, the xbox 360 was called the "xbox 2". XD

[Rcee01]

blades lol gladiators when i think of blades i think of baurus..RIP

[csstrunks1]

I love how we humans use to many hand gestures.

[TheMassacre07]

Todd Howard and Ken Levine. Where would gaming be without these two amazing people?

[DeathIsMySalvation]

i wud lik 2 hav moar weaps k????.

[marytbcarroll]

@DeathIsMySalvation  Translation: ?

[DeathIsMySalvation]

@marytbcarroll It was a joke. However, I do believe that they should add more diversity to weapons. Like spears or lances..

[mrmamaluigi9000]

One thing these games need is co-op

[SnatchTease]

LOL. Makes sense Todd, changes in Skrim from Oblivion read like an Elder Scrolls forum thread.

[TheEmmanuelcaca]

Todd is my heroe

[CoDkid125]

i used to run around shooting random people in the knee with arrows.......and well you know the rest

[CommercialAtrophy]

Hey Todd, can I have my $64.00 dollars back? Please... the game is a real let down. So a multitude of other people would agree. Your tech support at Bethesda sucks. The guy knew nothing about the game. Have fun with everyone's money...

[CorRomeister]

@CommercialAtrophy "so a minority of other people would agree"

Fixed that for you.

[yusolaifdfer]

@CommercialAtrophy what the heck are you trying to show ?

[CoDkid125]

@CommercialAtrophy i can see where your coming from because i hated oblivion not the story or graphics but how it actually felt to play the game. and now we have skyrim which i love i just feel bad for the people who dont like it how i do because i have a really good time when i play it and im not trying to start a fight or anything you have your opinion and i have. mine but you have to admit ther are so many games out ther worse than skyrim any way what dont you like about it

[Fredthewinner]

@CommercialAtrophy Go hate on some other game... stupid troll.

[CommercialAtrophy]

Someone make a Skyrim bloopers video..haha...I've had the game 2 weeks now... it's been total fail. .... well ummm... it's a pretty game..very detailed... beautiful scenary....great graphics to bad the rest of it sucks so far.

[thesaabas]

i used to like Todd Howard but then i got an arrow to the knee, but that didnt stop me from likeing him

[TheMourdhaas]

I'm glad they went with open-world gameplay instead of gladiatorial gameplay for Arena

[vidoemaster12]

@TheMourdhaas but always still feature a arena in the game so you can go and do a gladiatorial gameplay within the game

[Sasukefreek13]

What's with the weird camera angles?

[zenniz1992]

Do they link Elder scroll and fallout together?

[TheManMostMysterious]

@zenniz1992 No. Impossible. Elder Scrolls takes place on Nirn and Fallout is on Earth. Two different planets/realities. That would just be dumb if they connected the two.

[SilasSocuciels]

they should reveal what happened to the dwarves in TES Vl

[hookerdoodles]

@SilasSocuciels Play Morrowind.

[PwNaGeWaFfle54]

@SilasSocuciels They disappeared after the incident at Red Mountain. That's all we know.

[danie2332123]

STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!!!

[MLGSuperhuman]

Todd used to be an adventurer like you, then he took an arrow in the knee

[ZedsLeppelin]

He is one of the few people in the gaming industry that is actually passionate about games as opposed to being all about the money :D Todd Howard FTW

[hellfire6028]

TES VI should be all of Tamriel with Skyrim graphics, and a mixture of Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim gameplay

[weazelslayer1999]

@hellfire6028

[IsaacD39]

@hellfire6028 that would take decades to make and it would only be for PC and even then it would take forever to install and have a MONSTORIS amount of bugs. The elder scrolls looks at a province that has a major issue so your dream will never happen sadly.

[hellfire6028]

@IsaacD39 nothings impossible, we got men on the moon with less technolgy than that of which is in everyday phones

[IsaacD39]

@hellfire6028 yeah but it's not going to happen for the fact of bugs and although it sounds fun it would'nt be. For example 600+ dungions and you need to take 400 hours of your time to go all the way across Tamriel to get 1 item. It's better with 1 or 2 areas per game.

[nrolett]

@IsaacD39 It is the size and grandeur of the game that makes it awesome. 1 or 2 areas per game? Give me a break. Go back to your gameboy, kid.

[theleft4deadgod2]

i have to say todd howard is my fav game director or watever u call it

[3MrOplia3]

Skyrim was disapointing

[CorRomeister]

@3MrOplia3 why do you think that

[SixFootTallMidget]

Wow he's from PA? I'm from Pennsylvania as well!

Neato.

[SuperRiguy]

I want the next game to be TES IV Elsware....... yes im a kitty don't hate

[schuka5]

@SuperRiguy There is a TES IV (4)

[TheDeatharcana]

@schuka5 I believe he's not acquainted with roman numbers so he probably meant TES VI =P

[SuperRiguy]

@schuka5 Sorry lol oops 6

[gamerking775]

@SuperRiguy TES IV has already come out its called obivion

[CasualGamer14]

@SuperRiguy Elsweyr

[5teampunker]

He talks a lot of trash

[StartledSloth]

@5teampunker how so?

[bandithunter1]

playing skyrim right now

[MultiMrGunner]

We want dwarves in TES VI !!

[mghotdog]

fantastical? is that a real word?

[sportsfiend12]

@mghotdog its a real word in the bethesda studio..

[CorRomeister]

@mghotdog yes it is a real word. It's a synonym for Fantasy. A fantastical world is a world filled with fantasy.

[drpizey]

How many cameras did they need!?

[MrChillZilla]

@drpizey More. Thats how many

[vasimre42]

now that is a god we can see and hear.

[NOWG0015]

ELDER SROLLS KICKS WOWS ASS

[Ruger9mm1]

@NOWG0015 if you talking about world of warcraft, those are two types of games.. lol... Free roam ass kicking to a ass kicking MMO...

[ufovin]

I HATE AIDEN O BRIAN

[ufovin]

THUMBS UP FOR TODD HOWARD

[ElvenTheEnchanter]

Lol, I think the Burning Crusade was the best time for WoW. After that, the lore messed up and people played for the hell of playing.  The story doesn't make sense anymore. The funny thing is, three days after I quit WoW, Skyrim came out. And now, this is my addiction :)

[Ruger9mm1]

@ElvenTheEnchanter psh lol Pre-BC was the best... nothing can beat Pre-bc

[Dknightxs]

things i want in the next TES games!!

1. multiple provinces....:D

2. Different mounts and mounted combat.... Elephant in Elswer and other stuff

3. much much more items and gear sets

4. i honestly cant think of anything else..Skyrim has preety much achived everything i had wanted from a TES game...and wot they missed out will make it in through mods :).... Elswyer mod for Oblivion was awsome and huge!

i just hope they dont go MMO

[Dreamcube017]

@Dknightxs The Elder Scrolls MMO... sounds nice on paper... but nah. I'd rather not have to deal with other people just to enjoy the game. A multiplayer kinda thing like Fable had wouldn't be all that bad though.
