Who should be the Tes VI antagonist.

A-Nice-Brick

Listen, i think we can say that the main villains in TES recently have not been great.
Mehrunes Dagon was awesome as a villain but we never even got the chance to fight him and just saw a cutscene play out as he was defeated. Yes i know he was an almighty Daedric Prince but give us something. Not to mention the fact that in the end he looked like a larger version of Darth Maul with two extra arms.

And then there was Alduin..... oh poor Alduin. Again, a great concept and he looked awesome but he was pulled off poorly, he never felt like a threat in the story even though he was the '' World Eater '' and his final fight was pretty easy compared to most other bosses.

Im hoping that Bethesda step up their game in the villain and story department, because the main questline in Skyrim was not the best to be honest.

Who should be the villain do you guys think? In my opinion if it were to take place in Valenwood + Elsweyr i think Tosh Raka would be a great villain. He is seen as a god by the Ka Po Tun and could lead an invasion from Akavir into Valenwood. Not to mention he is also a shapeshifting dragon. Imagine fighting a Khajit-like boss and then him morphing into a dragon into the middle of the battle. Pretty awesome if i do say so myself.

Or we could just fight the Thalmor and take out their leaders, that would be pretty satisfying idk
Dont know about Hammerfell so if anyone could say any ideas from there it would be great.
Who do you think should be the villain in Tes VI?

Idrovor

I think it might be interesting to have a villain that isn't some kind of all powerful being (like a dragon, daedric prince, etc) and instead more of someone "normal", but still skilled at certain things. I don't really have anyone specific in mind, just a thought.

Miching-Mallecho

Idrovor Kind of like an evil version of the Dragonborn? XD

Max

A charismatic mage

thats a hard question to answer, it all depends when they set it

Shole

I think they focus on the side quests, since a lot of us go straight for the Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild and so on, hence they put little effort in the main boss so you can defeat him and enjoy the life in whatever region you are depending on the game.

War

I think they really need to finish the Thalmor war storyline, or at least continue on it. The Thalmor themselves may not be the main antagonist - but maybe there's some big baddy who's leading them. I do like the idea of a powerful wizard instead of some god-like being causing the ruckus, I think we've had plenty of world-ending themes with Oblivion, Skyrim, and Online. The stakes would still be high as it could be the end of the Imperial Empire and the beginning of international Aldmeri Dominion dominance. Considering the Thalmor consider non-elves as something like that of a lower-species, a story where they conquer the world may be similar to something like the Nazi-regime.

Maybe it wouldn't be a wizard, but a master political manipulator instead. That would make for an interesting storyline, an enemy who could turn your closest companions on you. They themselves wouldn't be physically or magically powerful, but they could get almost anyone to turn on you, as they bribe and twist the political system to their advantage.

War "Maybe it wouldn't be a wizard, but a master political manipulator instead."
This sounds interesting. Personally I find intrigue, plots and conspiracy quite interesting, though I have a feeling that most people would prefer "beat up the big bad dude".

Wunis

Majoron Maybe this politician could be the head of the Thalmor operation in Region X? You would still get a fight, but it would also be cool to have him turn your allies into enemies, get the rulers of Region X to expel you from the cities, placing a bounty on you, etc.

Majoron

Wunis Oh man, that would be absolutely amazing. It fits the Thalmor perfectly, the puppetmaster running everything. And at this point I don't think anyone would have a problem massacring a few thousand Thalmor.

We totally need an invasion by the snake people from akivir!
