To confirm, I am currently not involved with TES VI,” Soule said in a post.It remains unclear who will replace Soule as composer for the project, or if it’s in such early stages of development that he is yet to be contacted regarding his contribution.

Every cave, mountain and bandit encampment felt the same, albeit with a few unique treasures and trinkets lying about for the taking.

This is a tall order, but one that would make the world of Elders Scroll 6 all the more memorable.Challenging and meaningful combatCombat in previous Elder Scrolls titles was merely a case of mashing the shoulder buttons as quickly as possible until the enemies hounding you dropped to the floor. It was serviceable yet undeniably simplistic in its execution. Focus was placed on the discovery of abilities and weapons instead of the way in which they were used.Related:The Elder Scrolls 6 needs to completely overhaul this, crafting a combat system that focuses on deliberate strategy rather than artificial difficulty determined by the number of nasties on screen and how much health they possess. Imagine setting a bandit aflame, causing him to jump into the water out of painful desperation.
You could charge in and finish him off with a well-timed sword slash or cast a lightning spell for a slower, more agonizing death.The use of weapon augmentations and splicing together different spells would be another wonderful addition, providing layers of customization that has sorely been missed from the combat of Elder Scrolls. Every single weapon and spell you equip has a one-of-a-kind aesthetic, but they all the feel exactly the same when used in combat.
The lack of satisfactory impact is hard to ignore after dozens of hours of playtime.Distinct gameplay stylesThe basic framework of Skyrim and Oblivion allowed for several different gameplay styles.

Guards in Skyrim have. Artificial intelligence in Bethesda games has always been notoriously silly, bordering on stupid at times. You could loot an entire house or throw a grenade into a settlement only to leave the area and have all your tribulations forgiven.
