GOD I HOPE I GET TO PLAY ELDER SCROLLS 6: SENTINEL WITHIN THE NEXT FUCKING DECADE
very excited about the title reveal though, and it pretty much confirms that the setting will be Hammerfell/ The Illiac Bay.
I really hope they explore some of the weirder aspects of Redguard lore, because that would actually be a dream come true, and maybe this is wishful thinking, but one of the DLC locations could be either Orsinium (more likely), or what remains of Yokuda after it sunk.
I should start reading up on the lore about Yokuda, i know the basics but not much else (i usually read about the lore of the dark elves and imperials.
I reckon the main story's probably going to be about the Thalmor plot to undo creation (by the nine i want some chances to crack some Thalmor skulls, it always pissed me off that you could never really get a final victory against them in skyrim, and i'd love to just rip and tear my way through their supremacist nonsense), meaning that they HAVE to at the very least mention tower lore, which makes me very happy, hopefully we'll be getting some more of the weirder stuff from the lore that made Morrowind feel so unique compared to other fantasy worlds, and given how close Sentinel is to Daggerfall, it's fairly likely we'll get at least an acknowledgment of the Numidium, and maybe maybe (please oh divines i need this so badly) at least a reference to the C0DA (unlikely but a man can dream, and i will cry tears of joy if there's a C0DA reference)
as for the DLC stories, as i said, Orsinium is most likely if it's not in the base game, and there's a fair chance that we'll have the choice to either save Orsinium or sack it for the millionth time (i'll try to save it i love the orcs sm), and i think that if areas of High Rock are in the playable area, as well as Hammerfell, then we'll hopefully be getting a better look at the Direnni elves, or at the very least they'll kinda be what the Ayleids were in Oblivion.
Given what was said in that one interveiw a while ago, the area for Sentinel will be twice as large as Skyrim, so to me that means
a) the area will be Hammerfell and High Rock
b) the area will be Hammerfell (maybe with some of the southern/coastal areas of High Rock), but at a more lore accurate scale
I think the fact that it's set in Hammerfell probably means that we'll be getting Sword Singing as a game mechanic, maybe not but it's likely that Sword Singing will be similar to what the Thu'um was in Skyrim (i really hope that they find a way to make Sword Singing as interesting as it was in the lore, even if it becomes a bit unbalanced in the late game (Pankratosword WHOMST?))
I would like Vivec to return, they did not canonically die in Morrowind, and i think it would be good to see what happened to him after losing his powers, and his presence in the game would be a perfect way for the more esoteric aspects of the lore to shine
anyway sorry if this is rambling this is just my thoughts about it, i'll probably maybe make a more organized post about this, i have a lot of thoughts, thanks for reading
and if it's bad i'll just learn how to mod, and i'll make it good
