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 hope Khajiit gets to see that one's (His?) homeland. Beth has done desert environments before. It's not really the environment that's the challenge though; it's the cat-people. The NPCs. They'd have to be significantly different from human or elves in some ways. They've mostly played side-roles in earlier games; so the idea would be to see some sort of really wide range of behaviors now that they'd be the main focus of the game.

For instance, in Skyrim the main idea with people was "most of them are downtrodden, weather-beaten, even depressed, and most of them try to get the main protagonist (us) to do things for them." But they can't always follow this same formula for cat-people. Cats in general, real cats, have a lot of different personalities. Some are sit-by-the-radiator-until-my-owner-gets-home, then I'll beg for food, while others are totally hyper and always demanding attention. I'd sort of expect this range of behaviors from Khajiiti in the game.

The main thing which ties all cats together though is their independence. Other than food or occasional attention, they aren't going around relying on humans as much. A lot of them are downright standoffish! I'd expect Khajiiti in game would follow this sort of formula in some ways. Not that they're going around ignoring us all the time, until it gets to be time to beg for food, but that they're not so dependent on us to solve all their problems, the way at lot of NPCs in Skyrim are.

I'm nowhere near an expert on what sort of lore goes on in Elsweyr though, so far as how they behave. Maybe I'm way off-base.
