Here’s the thing no one is talking about when it comes to TESVI and trees.
Todd’s guess for the number of trees was 111,111, which if you watched the video was off by quite a bit, way too high. Yes this is a reference to the Skyrim release date obviously but he must have thought it was in the ballpark.
Todd then says that TESVI will have more trees than TESV - obviously.
Keep in mind though that Todd Is still talking about more in reference to his guess in 111,111. Meaning. TESVI will have AT LEAST more than double the number of trees of Skyrim, meaning again the map will be either at least twice as dense or at least twice as large, more so if it takes place in a province that’s less forested than Skyrim (IE Hammerfell).
Todd “16X the trees” Howard
Skyrims forest trees are so spread out that theyre not even considered forests due to 2011 performance constraints. Even if the next games map was the exact same size as skyrims and only 1/4 full of trees in one area there could be more trees in es6 with modern technology and less limitations. This honestly tells us pretty little but it's nice to see Todd not being in strict pr mode in interviews for once
Starfield exists, whose forests have bigger trees not necessarily more trees.
You don't want the game to look like an actual forest. You want to be able to see things and go places. Real life forests have thousands of square kilometers of inhospitable impassable terrain
kcd 1 and 2? witcher 3? they all do foliage and dense forests way better and they should since they're not a game from 2011. plenty of good examples in between a tree every 10 feet and impassable terrain
Of those I only played kcd 2 and you're right, it's much more dense than Skyrim but it's still not like a real forest
Personally I like skyrims graphics better than kcd2 but that's an irrelevant point 😆 just saying
111111->1+1+1+1+1+1=6-> 6/6/26 confirmed
6/26/26 for the palindrome 🤘
I love that we are getting Todd and Bethesda devs to give us little snippets of ES6 news no matter how small, however, I can only imagine the few that look through these subs laughing their asses off that we’re all (rightfully) losing our shit over tree news.
Remember that todd wants short reveal to release windows, and that marketing does not happen normally for a game 3+ years away (minimum) like some will tell you. Kinda odd that there's so many mentions of the game, and todd is talking about it so much so suddenly huh?
I think it means marketing is about to start next year. He’s been talking about it alot
I'm fairly certain it was a reference to the release date not simply telling us the map will be twice as large, obviously it will probably be at least twice as large...
No he was talking in reference to skyrim, which he ”thought” had 111,111 trees. As you say that is a reference to the release date of V. Whether he thought that number was accurate or not doesn’t matter. He is comparing the game world of skyrim to what they have/will have in TES VI. He doesn’t know the exact numbers - he explicitly says so.
TESVI has more trees than TES V. That’s all we know. Could be 48,000. Could be 1,567,453.
Edit: the guess of 111,111 isn’t a coincidence. We don’t know how good todd is at estimating tree counts, because he used an unrelated number.
Double? Pulled right out your hoo-ha
Double because the official number was less than half Todd’s guess of over 100k
33/33/33 confirmed guys
If his estimation on how many trees there are in Skyrim is wrong, the same can be true for TES VI?
A decent chunk of Skyrim is tundra and frozen wastes. I would just guess that TES6 has a larger map and denser forests.
Hammerfell still should have less trees, since most of it is desert
It's not.
URGENT. JUST HAPPENED.
don't read this comment unless you want to know what Todd really means you clickbait sumbiscuit
That’s not what I titled the post though
Next time I’ll title my post “Fred”
Maybe do another post to add to the 10 others that say the same basic thing? I think we all need another whole post rather than simply commenting on one of the others
