This allowed for events like the war between the Dominion and the Empire, the Argonian invasion of Morrowind, and the destruction of Vvardenfell to all happen between games. Skyrim took place 200 years after Oblivion, the biggest time jump between main games in the franchise seen so far. There's another way Bethesda could overcome the problem without directly stating who won the war. The next game could be set somewhere on one of the many unvisited continents of Nirn, such as Akavir or the lost continent of Yokuda. ItВ is possible that The Elder Scrolls 6 will not be set in Tamriel at all, which would allow the storytellers to get away with avoiding the question far more easily. There are a few ways that The Elder Scrolls 6 could get around the problem presented by Skyrim's Civil War. There are several different ways Bethesda could approach this challenge. It would be especially jarring if the Nords of The Elder Scrolls 6 seemedВ unaware ofВ whether or not their homeland was a part of the Empire.

The fate of an entire province, however, would be far more difficult to simply avoid bringing up in the next game. Whether or not Oblivion's Hero of Kvatch ever completed the Dark Brotherhood or Thieves Guild questlines, for example, makes sense as something that might be left out ofВ most history books. Most Elder Scrolls games are able to avoid mentioning the decisions presented to players in previous games. If Skyrim remained part of the Empire, it could remain strong enough to survive for some time. If the Stormcloaks won, for example, the Empire would have lost another province and would likely be unable to survive the growing power of the Aldmeri Dominion for much longer. No matter where in Tamriel the next game is set, it would seem absurd for the impact of Skyrim's Civil War on the overall balance of power on the continent not to be felt.

Dealing with the consequences of Skyrim's Civil War presents a big problem for The Elder Scrolls 6.
