Todd Howard ved at du kommer til at spille The Elder Scrolls VI "i et årti"

Det lader til at The Elder Scrolls VI fortsat er i præproduktion, og der kommer nok stadig til at gå noget tid før vi får reelle konkrete detaljer om spillet. Men noget tyder på at ambitionsniveauet er meget, meget højt, og det skyldes blandt andet at spillet kommer til at være en aktiv del af markedet i over et årti efter lanceringen, ligesom The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim har været.

Det er i hvert fald målet. I et interview med Lex Fridman fortæller instruktør Todd Howard, at de går til projektet som et der skal kunne spilles i et årti:

"We're going to make sure we do it right for everybody. People are playing games for a long time, you know. Skyrim's 11 years old- still probably our most played game. We don't see it slowing down, and people will probably be playing it 10 years from now, also. So you have to think about, okay, people are gonna play the next Elder Scrolls game for a decade, two decades, and that does change the way you think about how you architect it from from the get-go."

Desuden forklarer han lidt om studiets proces, og hvordan produktionen som regel starter:

"So, take Elder Scrolls 6- we figure out where it's set, what's the tone, what are the big features. We discuss the beginning of the game, which we've had for a very long time. Then we like to do music. So we've already done a take on the music for Elder Scrolls 6- the music we put in the teaser for it. This was 2018. We've taken that further, obviously.
