The Elder Scrolls 6: Why Dwemer Constructs Could Replace Dragons

gamerant.com:

With Starfield releasing early in 2023, fans could learn more aboutThe Elder Scrolls 6 late next year…perhaps. Despite being announced in 2018, The Elder Scrolls 6 is still reportedly in the earliest stages of development, as Bethesda focuses on the upcoming release of Starfield. It is also slated to receive DLC, and the earliest fans could really expect theElder Scrolls game to release is 2025. It’s likely to be after that, at this point.

So, it’s possible that nothing is learned for a few years. Bethesda did say there would be no Elder Scrolls 6 news until after Starfield’s release, and well, hopefully, something comes out relatively soon thereafter. Nonetheless, that hasn’t stopped fan speculation on the title, which many believe takes place in Hammerfell and High Rock.

The Elder Scrolls 6 is unlikely to heavily feature dragons, if for no other reason than the lore and their heavy association with Skyrim. The game needs some sort of main enemy, though, and perhaps the most interesting route it could take is tied to the Dwemer Constructs left behind by the mysterious civilization.

Prior to the arrival of the Redguards, Dwemer heavily occupied Hammerfell. They were spread across several provinces, with the capital said to be in Morrowind. Some have argued that it was actually in Hammerfell, or perhaps there was another major city among small Dwemer civilizations. Either way, they had a heavy presence in Hammerfell.

Now, The Elder Scrolls is never likely to reveal the entire mystery surrounding the Dwemer’s disappearance. It is like Yoda’s race in Star Wars – the entire mystery and unique qualities of Yoda and the few members seen of his race make its existence all the more enticing.
