The Elder Scrolls 7: Akavir

All right. Skyrim was one of the best games I've ever played, so you're probably thinking there's not much more that Bethesda can do, but why stop now? Considering the Elder Scrolls Online as Game 6, I'm calling this one 7. Expected release date is October 31, 2017. Welcome back to the Elder Scrolls.

Background
This game takes place about 800 years after The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, so the year is about 1000 in the Fourth Era. The Imperians won the civil war in Skyrim (sorry, Stormcloaks), and the Dragonborn slayed Alduin and formed an uneasy truce with the ancient Dragons. In the 800 years that followed, the Empire of Cyrodil prospered, undergoing an industrial revolution. They excavated Dwemer ruins and learned the secrets of steam power and robotics, while also using dragonfire to fuel their enormous factories. Now the land of Tamriel is filled with Imperial Automatons and the seas are brimming with Steamships. Meanwhile, the Aldmeri Dominion in the South advanced made advances in magic, allowing their most renowned mages to tame the oceans and raise mountains out of the sea. The Empire and the Dominion are currently involved in a cold war to see who can colonize the eastern continent of Akavir, where the game takes place.

The War
But Akavir is already inhabited by four sentient races: the Tang Mo (monkeys), the Tsaesci (serpents), the Kamal (snow-demons) and the Ka'Po'Tun (tiger-dragons). While these people have their own internal struggles, they have formed a loose alliance, known as the Akaviri Circle, against the invading human and elven colonists from Tamriel. Once war breaks out, it will be a war for the entire planet of Nirn - a war that is waged on ground, sea, and air. Join any of the three major factions - the Empire, the Dominion, or the Circle - and rise through the ranks while you fight to preserve, or dominate, the ancient realm of Akavir.

Playable Races
Like all Elder Scrolls games, this one gives you a choice between several different races, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Your character's race does not determine your affiliation, but certain races tend to align themselves with certain factions.
 * Colonist Races of Tamriel
 * Humans (include Nord, Imperial, Breton, and Redguard)
 * Elves (include High Elves, Dark Elves, and Wood Elves)
 * Khajiit
 * Argonians
 * Native Races of Akavir
 * Tang Mo
 * Tsaesci
 * Kamal
 * Ka'Po'Tun

Skills
As you fight, bargain, steal, and explore Akavir, you will be constantly gaining experience in the various skill areas. After a certain number of skill advances, you will level up, as in ''Skyrim. But unlike in Skyrim, ''there will be no limits on skill development. You can get to level 100, 200, or even 500 at any skill, if you play for long enough. But the perks will level off the higher you get, with only a slight increase each time. Also, you'll eventually run out of storylines. Skills come in three classes: Body, Mind, and Soul. (No special Stealth category.)
