So basically would people like to play a war game version of TES that takes place before the games & covers everyone fighting? Having Dunmer & Dwemer units fighting it out, early Imperials clearing out Bosmer & Khajiit etc. Just had it as a random idea but I would totally love it.

I made a thread asking about this earlier, except concerning Forgotten realms.

GW literally ended their line of fantasy battles, so why hasn't anyone stepped in to fill the void?

Assuming every race gets a faction, what units/other factions would you like to see?

>>53158170
The Numidium as a super-unit for the Dwemer. God it would be a fuckhueg mini though.

D&D used to have its own wargame addons, they could just resurrect those.

TES is neither intersting enough or in depth enough to warrant a table top game like that.

So you've only played Skyrim at most and you don't know anything about the setting at all.

While my first instinct is to say yes because I love elder scrolls, I must say no because race-based factions is a shitty idea that doesn't fit with Elder scrolls and which is one thing I really haye about ESO.

I would much prefer getting a real ES rpg

>he doesnt agree with me so he must be a casual
I've played Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. As someone who has basically seen the series evolve, I can say from an unbiased and non-infatuated view that TES simply wouldn't work for anything like that. The setting is rather average. There are a couple of things that allow it to stand out here and there, but a few redeemable qualities doesn't suddenly elevate everything else.

Why does it not work? There would not be enough diversity in each individual army. There is only so much you can extrapolate and all in all the armies will probably share many elements with not enough to distinguish between their play styles. It is possible to point out one thing here, and another thing there, but there certainly isn't enough, especially if you are creating grouping armies by race.
