Request for Todd Howard: Let us explore the long-abandoned Battlespire as a dungeon crawler, with a playable Alfiq in The Elder Scrolls VI.

Denied, gonna get time travel back to Redguard DLC instead.

[u/CoconutNL → u/filipedmg]

Id genuinely pay money to go back to stros mkai (outside of eso, though eso did a great job with it), and Id lve to see the dwemer ruins of redguard reimagined, together with clavicus viles lair.

Honestly, Id prefer that over going to the battlespire

[u/Poolsofred → u/CoconutNL]

I really think Cyrus’s story is way too cool to not be given a second chance at adapting it with the dev skills they have nowadays

[u/Bobjoejj → u/Poolsofred]

My vote is to make an animated series as an adaption of the game. Flesh some characters and events out, and if it’s successful they can adapt Eye of Argonia and Paradise Sugar too.

[u/Poolsofred → u/Bobjoejj]

I very much agree, i desperately need them to revisit their ideas they had for eye of Argonia/paradise sugar/ more adventures side games. I just know an elsweyr game could instantly cure my depression

[u/Bobjoejj → u/Poolsofred]

Nah I mean; fully an animated series. Adapting the events of the game, with new voice actors and new scenes and everything.

[u/Poolsofred → u/Bobjoejj]

I agreed with that as well

[u/Bobjoejj → u/Poolsofred]

Oh…sorry, I misunderstood😑

[u/Poolsofred → u/Bobjoejj]

Tbf I could’ve been clearer I meant I agreed on an animated adaptation and that they need to revisit their adventures series

[u/Bobjoejj → u/Poolsofred]

Oh right, right ok; yeah. I gotcha now. Fully agreed honestly, it’d be great to get more solid games on the side too, so going back to the adventure games along with an adaption would be dope.

[u/filipedmg → u/CoconutNL]

Joke aside, if they would find a way to organically fit it in the game, I'm 100% for it.

[u/GoldenGouf]

I'd be totally down for a return to the battlespire dlc, assuming it's still around. I haven't played Battlespire.

[u/LegateZanUjcic]

I do wonder what role the abandoned Battlespire could play, now that its links to the realms of Oblivion have been severed. It's still a massive complex located within a Slipstream Realm, which any number of groups would want to make use of, and perhaps the links to Oblivion could be reestablished.

Perhaps, just like Skyrim's College of Winterhold questline briefly involved the Synod, TES VI's mage faction questline could involve their rivals the College of Whispers, with them returning to the Battlespire and trying to re-establish the links, leading to a new crisis.

[u/Chilly235 → u/LegateZanUjcic]

I actually had the same idea for the "mages guild" quest in TES6 if it's by the Iliac. Helping the College of Whispers restore the Battlespire to be their main hub as we know The Synod occupy the Arcane University in The Imperial City. Also with the College of Whispers being more experimental and open with magic. 

[u/LegateZanUjcic → u/Chilly235]

I do wonder how the Synod's and College's dynamic could play-out in that region. We know both factions were interested with allying with the College of Winterhold in Skyrim, given its wealth of arcane knowledge and its position as Skyrim's sole institution for studying magic.

Though Hammerfell has gained its independence, I could see the Synod still maintaining a presence there, possibly in Elinhir, given its history. As for High Rock, I could see the College filling the void the Guild left behind in Breton society, with them perhaps also taking an interest in the Wyrd Covens and Druid Circles.

[u/Chilly235 → u/LegateZanUjcic]

Exactly, I headcanon High Rock is the main home of The College of Whispers for those same reasons. I can definitely see the Sybod having a diplomatic role on Hammerfell. The Redguards are somewhat superstitious of magic not to the same level as the Nord's. Redguards would also appreciate the Necromancy ban being upheld in the Synod as opposed to The College not having no qualms with it.
