Clearly someone built a bookshelf containing a space where pi is exactly equal to 3

May be mixing up my franchises here.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Be interesting if the reason why the Dwemer disappeared was the collapsing of the towers in the Fourth Era combined with their experiment dragged them there and the next game has them coming back and generally breaking everything.

[WillowLuman]

Yeah, the most likely plots for the next one are:

1) Pure focus on the Thalmor (though canonically they can't be defeated until the timestream gets retconned by 5th era bizarreness)
2) Dwemer return / some ancient Dwemer thing comes back to life and shakes shit up
3) One of the Akaviri nations invades Tamriel

Other possibilities:
1) Numidium returns, since we don't have any explanation for how that happened in the future yet. Maybe it's supposed destruction at the end of Daggerfall was just it getting thrown forward a la Alduin? Though again, it can't get defeated yet.
2) They do yet another Daedric invasion

Now that I think about it, the Akaviri are pretty screwed lore-wise. Since everything of metaphysical importance is in Tamriel, it's pretty much impossible for them to to anything that matters. No wonder they keep trying to invade.

[Putnam]

Wasn't that standard in Elder Scrolls anyway what with all the Towers collapsing?

ESO takes place mid second era, before any tower collapsed. Besides that, really screwy stuff usually only happens when Akatosh or Numidium are directly involved (which, funnily enough, is every damn game but Arena...)

[WillowLuman]

1) A wizard did it
2) People fighting over Numidium, Akatosh dies temporarily at the end
3) Some asshole trying to build another Numidium
4) Akatosh comes in to whoop some ass
5) Akatosh's antichrist going around trying to eat the world

Yeah, pretty much. Though "direct" involvement is only arguable in 3.

[Xantalos]

5 is more Alduin not doing his damn job of eating the world.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Alduin was a bit shite, yeah. Felt awesome to go into Sovngard and wreck his shit, though.

[Ultimuh]

I wish someone would do a total remodel of the dragons to make them more.. dragon-like. (4 legs instead of 2)
And make at least Alduin twice as large as he currently is.

[BFEL]

What *I* would like to see the next ES revolve around is the Black Star.

Think about it. That item is the first time that mortal magic has managed to TOUCH the Daedra. And after Oblivion you would think people in Tamriel would be a bit more excited about that.

Just imagine a full blown invasion of the Daedric realms using corrupted artifacts to defeat the Princes that made them.


Oh, and I thought up a way for Lycanpires to be an actual thing in ES lore. Using, YOU GUESSED IT, the Black Star. Or more specifically the magic infusing it.
I mean, if they can turn a daedric artifact toward their own purposes, why not the magic diseases that certain Princes like to play around with?

[Gentlefish]

But not all the Daedric princes are evil? In fact, I quite like a few of them.

[KingofstarrySkies]

The word evil doesn't really cover them all. I mean, some of them are assholes, but not all of them. Azura is rather nice. Sheogorath is just nuts, and he essentially invented music. Hircine is...Kinda nice?

[Gentlefish]

I love the Daedric Prince of Wishes, especially in Skyrim. He's a huge dick, but people are sort of asking for it when they come to him.

[Xantalos]

Which was the one that covets knowledge? Hermememus Mora, something similar. I like him.

[Shadowlord]

Hircine is...Kinda nice?

Have ye forgotten Bloodmoon so quickly?

[KingofstarrySkies]

Emphasis on Kinda. At least when his followers die, they go to a sort of paradise for them.
