The Biggest Gameplay Changes Skyrim Fans Need To See In Elder Scrolls 6

BBG News

14 years after its initial release, “Skyrim” continues to have a dedicated fanbase, and it’s not hard to understand why – for many gamers, it tapped into something truly exceptional. Yet, while there’s plenty that’s great about “Skyrim”, there’s always room for improvement in the upcoming “Elder Scrolls 6“. Members of the r/ElderScrolls community have been discussing what changes they would like to see in the next installment of the Elder Scrolls series.

Even though The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim continues to hold a prestigious position in the gaming realm, it’s fair to say that this game veteran has seen quite a few gaming generations pass by. I remember the initial release back in 2011 with all its anniversary updates and DLC expansions, enriching the content but not fundamentally changing the core gameplay experience. For many of us who cherish it, the bugs and peculiarities have become part of the game’s endearing charm. Who hasn’t chuckled at the sight of dragon skeletons prancing in fields like they were at a ball?

Yet, as enthusiastic fans, we yearn for the upcoming Elder Scrolls 6 to capture the essence that makes Skyrim special. However, to ensure that it stands the test of time, I believe the gameplay mechanics will need to adapt to modern gaming trends, offering a fresh and engaging experience while still honoring the spirit of Skyrim’s greatness.

Biggest Changes We Want in Elder Scrolls 6 Compared to Skyrim

When contemplating potential enhancements for Elder Scrolls 6 that could surpass Skyrim, these are the aspects fans eagerly anticipate seeing developed further. Ranging from refined combat mechanics to a richer narrative, certain features in Elder Scrolls 6 could elevate it above what made Skyrim endure timelessly.

More Interesting Combat Options and Weapon Styles

In the world of Skyrim, battles can be enjoyable yet simplistic. Most players gravitate towards the stealth/archer build due to its convenience. Gaming enthusiasts yearn for a combat upgrade in the upcoming Elder Scrolls title, including options like dodging or evading during fights and more distinct sensations depending on the weapon chosen. Since Bethesda’s latest game, Starfield, showcases an array of weapon animations, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect Elder Scrolls 6 to do the same.

Better Quest Variety

Experiencing the unexpected rabbit-hole-like side-quests in Skyrim is one of its best aspects, yet even avid quest enthusiasts acknowledge that most missions share a common pattern: go there, grab an item, return, and rinse and repeat. Devotees of The Elder Scrolls franchise are eagerly anticipating a broader range of quest types in The Elder Scrolls 6, whenever it eventually launches.

More Narrative Impact from Player Choices

Ever since Skyrim took over the gaming world, we’ve noticed a growing trend towards narratives where your choices truly matter. Games such as Baldur’s Gate 3 are prime examples of this, offering a multitude of paths that can lead to wildly different outcomes based on your actions. While Skyrim does offer some choices, the tale of the Dragonborn doesn’t undergo significant changes from one playthrough to another. As a dedicated gamer, I find myself eagerly anticipating titles where my decisions shape the game world and the story unfolds in unique ways each time I play.
