Elder Scrolls 6 Predictions, Cast your Predictions today! Options

I started another thread in this forum about occult stuff but I got a little too ambitious, I'm afraid. Should have written Kahreem up first. I'll continue that one's OP eventually.

For now though, what do you think will appear in Elder Scrolls 6? I'm going to put some predictions now, you all can do the same, and let's see if we're right or wrong, eh?

1). Spellmaker will return, definitely. Because that was the #1 complaint back in 2011 about Skyrim. I personally never missed spell making myself, but good lord I remember the feedback from lack of.

2). Mix 'n' match armor / clothing sets will also return. Because that was the #2 complaint (from what I remember). Fallout 4 has definitely shown that Beth even got away from 1-piece suits, and I think they'll further this with ES6 for sure. I hesitate to predict pauldrons will make a return, but from what I've heard FO4 has the character able to wear different things on different sides of his/her body?

3). I think it'll be in High Rock primarily, but not just High Rock. I think it'll be in more than one province, maybe High Rock and Hammerfell. I'm just going by what was seen in the ES6 Trailer. To me, that looks like a northern clime.

That's all for now!

I'm wondering what direction they'll go with armour. In Morrowind there were multiple layers, and separate right/left items, and the number of slots has steadily reduced ever since. Skyrim removed the cuirass/greaves separation, so will this continue, and you'll only get a full outfit with all-matching parts? ESO is confusing in this, as it has one-piece costumes, but separates cuirass/greaves/pauldrons.

Some of the consideration will be how many enchantments an outfit should hold, and enchantments are what generally distinguishes the special items from the regular. That feature won't go away soon.

I think they'll continue what they did in Fallout 4. All armor are separate pieces that are worn over outfits or clothes.

Well, along those lines...I know it's never going to happen, but I think one of the few things that Arena excelled in compared to all the other games is the amount of customization of magical item accessories. I would love to see that return. Don't just give me rings and amulets. I want bracers, bracelets, torcs, belts, marks, and crystals. Again, never going to happen. Just wishful thinking on my part.


But for things that I actually predict, I agree here with the pieces of armor we will see (along with greaves, but I'm sure you meant to include those too). And I think it is the right balance for armor.

And probably an unpopular opinion, but I don't really get why we should be able to wear certain outfits over our armor like in Morrowind. It seems a bit ridiculous to me. I suppose having the reverse would be more sensible (armor over robes), but I think that kind of defeats the purpose of strategically choosing between the defense of armor and the magical superiority of robes.
