Elder Scrolls V comming out??

Does anyone know when Elder Scrolls V comming out??

Thanksss

lol, Bethesda making Fallout 3, which is like Fallout, but like Oblivion..

And that will be another 5 years after Fallout... so 2013 I guess.

I just sent an inquiry to Bethesda... we'll see if they answer (usually does). I'll edit this post with the response (if any).

UPDATE: Here is the official response I received from Bethesda:

In other words, "it's our little secret"

Well tey have to design another useless and anoying graphics engine first that need rediculous amount of computing horsepower just to let it run......badly....dont even think about it running on your pc your on now.

As for the next one coming out, i would say before the next 10 years.

I would really like to see that. Oblivion came out in 2006, so you are saying that with a CPU and GPU from 2004 you can run the graphic at Ultra Hi.

I wouldnt be surprised if the next elder scrolls was an mmorpg... Id certainly give that one a go.

If it's Oblivion with multiplayer i'd be down with that.

I've had a similar experience.....socket 939 Athlon 64 FX-55, eVGA geForce 6800 Ultra 256MB video card, 2GB DDR Corsair TWINX-PRO RAM, Audigy X2 Platinum Pro sound, and SATA hdd's and I can run it max with all of the high-res texture packs and graphics tweaks. It does lag a bit in dense forests during battles with multiple foes.


It's not at all far-fetched. All it takes a modest amount of computer hardware know-how.


Btw, TES afficionado here. Played since 1997 (DF of course). If Beth turns this into a MMO I'd be extremely shocked and upset. So would my wife. If they want to spin off another franchise, I'd understand that, and it would even make sense to me, but converting TES into an MMO would ruin the game and alienate the vast majority of their fanbase (who VEHEMENTLY oppose such a move....just read their forums!). TES is a game that would be ruined by online play. It should stay offline or just die a quiet death. This is not to say that a spinoff game wouldn't work (I'm sure it would do okay at least early on.....long-term success is hard to predict with no knowledge of the details).


They are working on TESV, and have been since OB was released, even if only in a very small capacity. It will come....just be patient. I'm sure we'll hear something later this fall after FO3 is released.

If I remember correctly my older computers back then could run it at the highest settings except for AA and AF. Really, while the face textures were ugly, it did a good job with the hardware.

I don't see why Elder Scrolls wouldn't work as an MMO. It already plays a bit like one. All I can imagine is that most of the people objecting so vehemently never played an MMO.

I don't think Bethesda is interested in making an MMO, but I can guarantee it won't be as bad as Two Worlds. That game just sucked.

I rather they just have some sort of coop where we could dance in the fields of grass together than a MMO, GOLD PLZ MENS!

what happened to the so called sandbox title in IV? i didn't like 4. if 5 had a new engine with better graphics I might check it out though.

anyone who has played two worlds and oblivion... which is better... I have played two worlds and liked it... but I am wondering if I should get oblivion

oblivion by far.

to me, it has the best start to any game, i won't be spoiling anything to say the moment you leave the sewers for the first time and look upon the world when all the settings are cranked up is stunning.

Yes it is coming out
Either 2009 or 2010
After oblivion the team split into three
1. Fallout 3
2. Oblivion update
3. New oblivion

Fallout is finsihed and so are the updates
So surelyt it is?

They say 2010, howevr if its the last Quarter of 2010, expect a delay till 2011.
And yes they said it will be singleplayer and they wouldn't RUIN it by turning a well made series into an MMO

But...but...some of these threads are the ONLY info some of us newbies have on TESV! So keep updating, adding to the thread!

I am *SUCH* a computer illiterate it would make you all sick; however, i will go out on a limb here and assume a "MMO" is one of those multi-player, online games like WoW or Evercrack -- I mean Everquest? As a long time tabletop RPGer, and totally unfamilair w/computer RPGs since...oh, the ORIGINAL Bard's Tale on the C64...I Stumbled Upon a humors thread about some drunk guy on some forum somewhere who did terrible things to his Oblivion game while drunk, and he showed screenshots....THAT is what caught my attention. That, and when I looked for more info on the game, I found the almost-open RP possible, well, I was sold.

However, I never would have found out about any of it were it not for older threads being updated.

I just bought Morrowind (GotY edition, with Tribunal, Bloodmoon & the construction set) from eBay and though the graphics don't look as intense, I have read nothgin but good things about the plots and the world, so I will give it a try.

So, thanks, those of you who still peek in and post on these old threads! You've confirmed the good thigns about Morrowind for me and I've some news on TESV!

BTW...I have to admit, annoymously here, that I am the wimpiest player ever. I use god mode all the time and just explore and save and a go back and do things over a different way, and to me combat is just a small part of the game, a part that I'm not really into. I cheat code soem thigns into my inventory to help me get over combat and on with the exploration and RP: Goldbrand, some varla stone to charge it, and the helm of the deep delver or a ring of grand light, maybe a ring of skimming so I can walk on water and get some interesting views, and I'm set. Aslso, I hve not done any of the theives guild or assasins guild stuff...I like being a good guy. But I love the game, and I just wanna express...I dunno, my nephew (who plays all kinds of PS, XBox, etc, games) thinks I'm a wimp, but I just like to EXPLORE...am I really that unusual of a player??

For a person who has never played any elder scrolls game, which one should I break myself in on? I would like to peep into oblivion first, but it seems like the older ones should be checked out too.

Even though it's old it's like you get the sense that in Morrowind there is something deeper to hold you on to play

Are there any good mods for the marrowind?

As I recall Hell wasnt annihilated, The temporary gates between one plane of oblivion and tamriel were closed, and mehrunes dagon was hurled back to his plain of oblivion again. I dont think he was actually slain, although I could be wrong but I believe most daedra merely return to their plain of oblivion when slain in tamriel, I dont see why the same would not be true of Mehrunes Dagon. Im not sure that without a "heir of septim blood" and without the dragon fires if theres anything to prevent Mehrunes Dagon licking his wounds for a while and then making a come back...

Bethesda proved with their knights of the nine and shivering isles expansions that they can come up with plenty more storyline yet. The books you find laying around give plenty of history to go back to, and potential for future events.

And btw I am a WoW player, actually a Raider and played warhammer online quite a bit too. So yeah, TES as a mmorpg = epic failure.
Leave mmorpgs to the big boys like Blizzard and TES as a offline, single player ( without the BS chinese farmer gold spam and "Wanna-heal-this-and-that-dungeon/please-can-I-have-some-gold whisper extravaganza ).
Because WoW is all a huge grindfest, there is no true exploring and enjoying dark dungeons, period. It's all about the raiding and the pvp, and the TES series does not need to be turned into that.

ahhh youtube that trusty source of information

"This sort of whining irritates me. Oblivion runs fine (read: smoothly on ultra-high with tweaks to put it above that) on my computer that's 2 years older than the game.

That, and BethSoft doesn't make their own graphics engines anymore: they've licensed GameBryo (formerly NetImmerse) for both Morrowind and Oblivion; the latter was just a newer version, akin to going from Unreal 2.0 to Unreal 3.0. "

have you tried running it with grass shadows on and full detail as well as on 1600x1200 resolution and anti aliasing full? Heck even if you havent I bet you also experienced relatively low fps in the beginning of the game in the dungeon where the men with the king first start fighting. I get like 25 fps there and I never or hrdly ever get that with the brand new mirrors edge.

On my older machine I got decent FPS in the beginning parts of Oblivion. It is once I got to the outside world that it dropped for me.
