I like how absolutely nobody even remotely liked this idea (unless I missed someone).


OT: Bad idea, and let's never speak of this ever again.

Well TES has always been high fantasy. I hate to be "that fan" that is against change in the setting of a series he loves an believe me I am one of those people that loves everything Steampunk but the fact is that TES has it's Steampunk fix in there with the Dwemer and it's cool as hell *but* it is fine as it is. Fact is that each game has changed in a slight way anyway. Morrowind had a strong sense of alieness to it, Oblivion really soaked up the colourful, bright high fantasy feel and Skyrim for all intents an purposes feels like a love letter to those of us who have a special place in our blood pumps for nordic culture and does at times feel like it is leaning closer to dark fantasy.

TES is fine as it is and I look forward to where it is going (though I hope they STOP this pattern of taking out features and content to be replaced with smaller, unimpressive features and content. I doubt I'll get my wish though considering how they simplify and cut back with each new release)

Like i mentioned before: want steampunk amd high fantasy? Go play Arcanum. It's worth it and at this point is dirt cheap and can run on pretty much any crappy pc/laptop.

This would infact ruin The Elder Scrolls. I for one hope this never happens. Ever.

Nooooooooooooooooooo.

TES and Skyrim in general satisfies my itch for hack and slash / fantasy games, if you add guns of any sort or any technology that's beyond the renaissance era it becomes Fallout or any other FPS fantasy game. If I have need of some RP w/ guns then I just throw FONV in or FO:3, I'm not trashing you or your idea in any way, I just think that Skyrim and TES series is fine as is.
