What Elder Scrolls 6 Should Take (& Leave) From Skyrim

With Elder Scrolls 6 on the horizon, there are aspects of Skyrim that it could benefit from and others that it should be quick to discard. Skyrim is arguably one of Bethesda Game Studios’ most popular RPGs, making debuts across multiple platforms. Bethesda even went as far as releasing a voice-dictated iteration of Skyrim on Amazon’s Alexa that the community thought was a quirky PR stunt but turned out to be real. The modding community has put considerable time and attention into Skyrim to push the boundaries of its gameplay and beauty. If Bethesda intends to top Skyrim, Elder Scrolls 6 needs retain its greatest strengths while learning from its weaker points.

With Elder Scrolls 6 on the horizon, only having been teased at 2018’s E3 conference, the community knows few concrete details about the next installment. Even Bethesda’s tweet on the possible location of Elder Scrolls 6 doesn’t provide a lot of context on what to expect from the game. At this point, all the community can really expect is an expansive world to explore, RPG mechanics, and plenty of fantastical creatures to battle, which remains fairly consistent across each new game.

Some of Skyrim’s brightest moments came from the leveling system. With a wide variety of skills to choose from, “leveling by doing” and using perks in specific trees provided an excellent sense of specialization and meaningful character growth. There was also a deep sense of wonder when it came to Skyrim’s overarching stories. Political unrest and the return of dragons could be found throughout many of the game’s facets and even manifested in the character’s dragon shout abilities. While Skyrim: Hearthfire allowed players to construct pre-fabricated homes, the mechanic wasn’t to the level of Fallout 4’s base-building, yet Elder Scrolls 6 could take this concept and build upon it to a much more engaging level as an inherent part of the game rather than a DLC.

Elder Scrolls 6 Should Leave Skyrim’s Problems Behind

Skyrim had its fair share of flaws, however, and Elder Scrolls 6 would hold a greater shine to players if left those behind. Bugs and glitches, which tend to be a big part of Bethesda’s game releases, are numerous. Skyrim alone still boasts many, prompting the modding community to release patches to fix some of the major problems. Another issue Skyrim faced was traversal. A player’s character movement, whether on foot or horse, often felt floaty and imprecise, which easily caused immersion-breaking moments. Skyrim’s perk system allowed for specialization, but the character movement muted that feeling.

If Elder Scrolls 6 can retain, and even iterate on, Skyrim’s leveling system, its overarching story and how it’s integrated into the rest of the game, and the base-building mechanic, the game will be more of everything fans tend to love about Bethesda’s IPs. Whether or not Elder Scrolls 6 can avoid Skyrim’s pitfalls is another matter. Bethesda has a track record of releasing games in poor states and slowly tuning them over the subsequent months with a number of patches until the game is in a better state. With Bethesda touting a significant engine upgrade for Elder Scrolls 6, it’s entirely possible that movement will be smoothed out to reflect a more capable and realistic character, and reduce the number of released glitches.

There are many things that Elder Scrolls 6 can draw from Skyrim as well as learn in order to make Elder Scrolls 6’s release the biggest of whichever year it comes out in. The game could also be subject to mass ridicule, as was the case with Fallout 76, if not done well. Whenever Bethesda reaches the point of revealing more about the game to the community, more will be clear about how Elder Scrolls 6 is approaching the successes and failures of Skyrim.
