Details on what to expect aren't exactly clear, and probably won't be until he day of the event, but that hasn't stopped rumours flying around. One of those is a potential Fallout 4, but we could also be seeing news about a new Elder Scrolls.
What do you expect from this conference? Fallout? Doom perhaps? Something completely different? Let us know in the comments!

I dunno if a new Elder Scrolls game could ever live up to Skyrim though, cos I think at least 50% of its awesomeness was due to the setting with all the nord viking s***, dragons, dovahkin, shouts, etc. Made it feel so much more epic, a new Elder Scrolls game in a new setting, I dunno, would be a tough act to follow.

i doubt they will release a new elder scrolls game anytime soon just coz there is still a lot of work being done on elder scrolls online. a bunch of new stuff is slated for release 6.
a new doom would also be cool.

It's the new setting thing that irks me. There is so much they could do with a second war between the Aldmeri Dominion and the Empire/Skyrim. Because of the ambiguity of the civil war, it was nice to have a clear-cut enemy to hate, and slaughtering those uppity pricks was amazingly satisfying. A game centered around the collapse of the White-Gold Concordat would be more than swell.

Correct, it's hard to convince people that are carrying a torch for a particular game.
It's not a recent sentiment either: "The new TES game is good but it'll never be the same as Morrowind...", etc.

i reckon an elder scrolls game based in black marsh, concentrating on argonians would be awesome. lizard powah!

Skyrim went beyond just being a better game, it became a part of pop-culture with its music and its memes and its "Fus Roh Da". While I'm sure Bethesda will continue to improve on the gameplay and the mechanics, I think its going to be a tough feat for them to capture that lightning in a bottle and recreate the ridiculous success Skyrim enjoyed. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the next Elder Scrolls will be fantastic, but Skyrim was like the perfect storm, it'll be hard to recreate that same pulling power imo. Or maybe I'm just too old and cynical and bitter.

It's more about how appealing I find the prospect of taking the fight to the Aldmeri. The lore and history around it is so rich with potential that I think it could be the first Elder Scrolls game to get close to capturing the feeling of an "epic" conflict with a race that is essentially the perfect a******* to test your enchanted fist on.
Gameplay-wise it can only get better, but you can't tell me that some Redguard desert or Argonian marshland is going to be nearly as fun to traverse as cruising through Scandinavian-esque mountains on the back of a dragon.
Couldn't agree more.
IMO Oblivion was forgettable without OOO, and you're not doing it right when the best quests, factions and gear are from either the evil aligned Dark Brotherhood, or an overhaul mod.

Fallout 3 doesn't exist to me, Fallout: New Vegas though was pretty good. I liked Skyrim, but the melee combat was way too basic (particularly after playing Chivalry). If you are going to do first person melee combat, it has to be as visceral as Chivalry otherwise I feel it's a wasted opportunity.
