Gee whiz I can't wait. That probably means only another 5 years before we see a screenshot.

Most of the game titles are regions, but isn't Sentinel a city? Seems a little odd.
The second Elder Scrolls game, Daggerfall was also a city, actually pretty near Sentinel, just across the Illiac Bay.
Arena was supposed to be a nickname for the whole continent of Tamriel. Oblivion is a place, but most of that game was set in Cyrodiil.
So only two of the five so far, Morrowind and Skyrim, have been named after whole provinces.
For some reason I recalled that whole starting region in Daggerfall being called Daggerfall. I must be misremembering the map.
If that's it I'll be annoyed just because sentinel is such corporate word. It feels corporate doesn't it? Yes it's a city there, but it's the "safe" sounding word. I'm just bracing for the next elder scrolls to be like Starfield. Toxic positivity and writing right out of big corporate thinktanks.
The only reason I can think of they'd do sentinel over Hammerfell is if they're going to try and turn it into a double meaning as both the city/role. Not a great reason, but eh.
it's giving Veilguard yes
That is actually exactly what I was thinking of. A game so bland and corporate that it gave away its soul. The title is proof. The name went from Dragon Age: Dreadwolf (A name all the fans were excited about and a direct successor to the massive cliffhanger) to Veilguard. You could just tell it went through so many committees and had to be approved by 16 layers of middle management.
Elder scrolls will be the same.
I used to be a shameless BGS fan, I have too much lore in my head, but… I am not hyped?
Even going into them positively, Starfield and F76 were just so… boringly disappointing. I even went into 76 drunk, with friends, a long time after release; how could a coop game possibly be so unfun drunk with friends?
I am just not confident BGS can possibly write interesting environmental stories anymore, or squeeze their archaic engine any harder. Not a single thing they said suggests they learned from their mistakes, rather that everyone responsible failed upward.
TBH I don’t see how other fans are staying positive. Then again, I don’t understand how so many had fun in Starfield…
Have they announced whether or not it will be Xbox exclusive?
Last month former Bethesda veteran Bruce Nesmith – who was lead designer on Skyrim and a quest designer on Fallout 3, 4 and 76 – said he hoped the theories were true, because that would potentially lead to the ability to use boats and explore the water for the first time in the series.
What? You were able to buy boats in Daggerfall. Aside from exploring, yeah I get that. But no, it will not be the first time the series experiences boats. Maybe expanding them yeah but not experiencing.
