    I truly think it's a testament to Bethesda and the popularity and power of this series that they literally only showed a picture and the title and I'm STILL excited about it.

    This is the biggest moment of E3 in years. When I heard that music I got goosebumps. Tears welled up in my eyes. We'll need to wait until 2020 or 2021, but it's confirmed!

    I am very excited. I'm just hoping that they take a page from morrowind or oblivion with the quest design instead of skyrim. The gameplay was fun in skyrim, but the quests left something to be desired.

      As someone who has only played a bit of Skyrim (so far), I'm curious why you think the quests in Skyrim are lacking. I've found I much prefer exploring to doing quests (one reason why I'm very far from finishing), and I'm not sure if it's because of my individual play-style or the Skyrim itself.

      More on-topic: even though I don't know much about Elder Scrolls (the lore, history, geography, etc), I'm really interested to see what a new game brings. And it looks like I have plenty of time to grab some of the older games on sale and try them out first :D

        I wouldn't say they're lacking on their own per say, but they're lacking when you compare them to quests from other elder scrolls games in the past. For example, we'll take my favorite faction,...

        I wouldn't say they're lacking on their own per say, but they're lacking when you compare them to quests from other elder scrolls games in the past.
        For example, we'll take my favorite faction, the dark brotherhood, from both oblivion and skyrim.
        Many of the dark brotherhood quests in skyrim were forgettable. They sent you to kill a random NPC in the middle of A town and then go home. Albeit, there were some good ones, especially killing the emperor at the end, but many of the quests were foegetble. In addition, the brotherhood seemed like a decrepit and falling apart little organization that no one cares about.
        I'm oblivion, you were feared. The brotherhood was a massive threat to people and many of your targets would freak out when they discovered who you were. Each quest was a puzzle in itself to compete with unique objectives and memorable moments, especially the one where you turned a house party against itself.
        There's many moments like this, where skyrim feels generic in comparison to quests in either oblivion or morrowind. So not that skyrim was bad, just that it wasn't nearly as good as the previous two games in the series were.

          That makes a lot of sense, thanks~ That definitely motivates me to check out the older games :)

      Yeah, the guilds themselves honestly felt pretty underwhelming. You go in, complete a few quests, and at the end "you're the new guild master" with no fanfare whatsoever. You don't even need to...

    I'm thrilled to know it's coming, but I think I would've rather seen them keep quiet until they have more ready to show. This... wasn't much.

      Waiting for ES VI is okay with me.
