Todd Howard says someone should make a sequel to Skyrim

[alexander_dougherty]

Well putting aside the fact it would be the next installment in the TES serires, not a sequel...
I agree...... Someone should make the next TES game, I'm thinking the obvious choice is Bethesda since it's their IP.

Maybe Todd should stop mouthing off, and actually do his damn job?

They are sequels though. Alduin wall and prophecy doesn't come to fruition until the numidium is activated, the red tower deactivated and the gates of oblivion are opened and then permanently shut to nirn.

Not only that, every game since daggerfall has brought reoccurring characters from previous installments, and every installment has moved up in chronological order.

Helseth and barenziah wouldn't be in control of morrowind without the canon ending of daggerfall and the warp in the west, and thus helseth wouldn't send assassins after the nerevarine which kicked off his journey that led to the death of sotha sil and almalexia.

Morrowind even mentions the gates of oblivion opening and a main character caius cosades is recalled to the imperial city because of unrest and rumours of assassination.

Without the ending of oblivion, Titus mede wouldn't have become emperor and without the oblivion crises the empire itself wouldn't be on rocky ground to allow the thalmor and dominion rise to power. The great war and Skyrim civil war wouldn't be possible without it.

Since daggerfall to Skyrim, every mainline game has been direct sequels.

Would you describe Return of the Jedi as a sequel to The Empire Strikes Back?
I wouldn't. One follows the other, but they are part of a series, but I'm guessing we are going to have to disagree.

Still doesn't take away from the point, which is Todd is smuggly giving interviews to reporters saying things like "Somebody needs to make this game"....

Todd should have made the game ten years ago, and since it has only just left preproduction and entered into the early stages of product, Todd should be apologising to the fanbase, not being making facetious comments about somebody else doing his job.... as if he wouldn't sue anybody who even tried....

Someone’s sensitive.

He was having a laugh at himself, you do understand that right?

He knows perfectly well that TES is long overdue for a new installment,

Also, I have to agree with psychotron. In regards to the “grand series of events”, they have been sequels to one another.

The events and outcomes of one directly tie into the story/world/characters of the next…and that is - by definition - a sequel.

I would give him some slack if he just said "Ok, we were doing Starfield first, but now we have started TES6 and it will be here when it's ready"

I wish Fallout and Starfield didn't exist at all

I don't know if I want that, all the nords will somehow be black, your two sliders options for character creation will be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ or gay.. let a good game be I say.

This obsession by Todd Howard is more than funny.

He did that tho, TES6 has been in predevelopment for over a year. True, not full force focus on it yet, but it's in the works.

There are still many provinces they could do. Elsweyr for example... but each race has a full "skyrim sized" "country" where things surely happen. Skyrim is one tiny piece of a huge world. And it can be a prequel instead -- redo arena or daggerfall, or even older: go back to the time of the dwemer and snow elves...

A sequel to Skyrim? Was Pjedilord right after all?!?

I doubt it, if he was he meant something else.....
