Bruce Nesmith suggests naval combat for The Elder Scrolls 6

Bruce Nesmith, a former lead designer at Bethesda who worked on The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, suggests that the inclusion of boats and naval combat would be a natural progression for The Elder Scrolls 6.

Speaking to GoHumanize, Nesmith noted that while the series has featured limited mobile vehicles like carriages, true seafaring mechanics could offer significant gameplay expansion. He suggested that such features could include unique skill trees, such as walking on water, and new environmental threats like krakens or Sea Elves. Nesmith believes these additions could serve as a major feature for the upcoming title, especially if the game is set in regions like the Iliac Bay.
