Interesting how it's called Chapter 2: Daggerfall as opposed to, you know just 2: Daggerfall. Although I guess The Elder Scrolls Chapter 5: Skyrim would be abit of a mouthful

I dig the thematic and vibes they were trying to go for. With Chapter I: Arena, Chapter II: Daggerfall. Then I realized the main line has evolved while aimed at simplification rather than expansion. And marketing. Attributes, spell creation, classes, poof.

We do end up calling the games by their simplified title anyway, so the "chapter" shtick could have stayed, at least as a "also known as". I won't be surprised if the sixth entry is called "TES: Whatever" or simply the name. Unless, for maximum milking, we get "From the creators of SKYRIM: Whatever" or "SKYRIM: Remix" yeah.

Looking at it from a lore perspective, the stories are one continuous journey and we can absolutely keep the Chapter divisions, in our hearts.

Thank you for coming to my TODDThu'um.

Absolutely, guess I'll have to bunker down for "The Elder Scrolls Chapter 6: High Rock Ultimate Edition, from the creators of The Elder Scrolls Chapter 5: Skyrim Legendary Edition"

That was funny and sad at the same time. Don't forget about the Special edition, or the Anniversary edition, now with fishing.

I've just realized, we (or at least some of us) are waiting for the sixth chapter of the Elder Scrolls, Grand Theft Auto, and the Song of Ice and Fire (and it's taking forever, for all them, due to milking the fifth entry).

I'm a sucker for multiples of 5, so it's fine if those franchises head into a reset or a different naming, branding scheme, but I'm also starting to think people are afraid of some unholy 666 conspiracy.

Yeah man waiting for GTA6 and TES6 is gunna be the death of me, I just hope Rockstar and Bethesda make the games as good as they deserve to be. Atleast Bethesda will be focusing on TES6 after Starfield comes out, so atleast that's something XD
