About The Elder Scrolls 6...

[WolfThomas]

It's really depends, Akavir would be amazing but unlikely. The Sumerset isles are a good place to have an all inclusive island like Morrowind with a unique culture living in it. The Black Marsh might be awesome if you could row and sail boats around. A game set in the border between Valenwood and Elsewyr could be interesting. But anywhere as long as it's fleshed out like Skyrim and Morrowind and not generic like Oblivion would be great.

I'd have to agree with people on Elsweyr. Though Hammerfell would be cool too, though I know Arena and Daggerfell both feature it.

It'd just be great to go somewhere completely different from anything else in the Elder Scrolls, a vast desert landscape sounds like a fantastic setting. You could fill it with patches of jungle and so on to add viariety. I think making it Khajiit focused would be a little...odd though. Khajiit have always felt a little bizzare, having a whole game centered around them would be like a furry's wet dream. Maybe if the Imperials or something where invading you could make it a little like the Medival Holy Crusades so there is a large human population.

I disagree with the "next province" pretext. Now I would so Just do ALL OF IT!!!, perhaps start more centrally and add provinces as DLC or expansions, but I'm really worried if they tried to tackle all of Tamriel it would turn out as some sort of MMORPG.

Lets not forget, that the next Elder Scrolls will be on a new gen of consoles so should be 'next gen', and do something amazing to blow us away. We've had 3 straight games where we're limited to a single province of roughly the same game size, and while giving us the whole continent is a stretch why not give us 2 or 3 provinces? From the OP's map, there are 11 provinces in Tamriel. I'm pretty sure the first game was in the capital and Daggerfall while it stretched a little into Hammerfell the main focus was on High Rock, so that means we have 7 provinces left to be explored? The series is great but it doesn't need to be dragged out 1 province at a time for the next 20-30 years, so lets expand the scope and base the plot around a conflict between 2 races. Argonia vs Morrowind, Valenwood vs Elseweyer or Summerset, Hammerfell vs Highrock, etc.

In this manner you'd be presented a much more interesting choice in character creation, as you could pick one of the two home races and play for your home team, or pick a non-related race and be a neutral 3rd party mercenary. For a gameplay example people love the dark brotherhood quests, wouldn't it be way cooler to play an Argonian assassin that gets tasked with key Dunmer targets that have real consequences in an actual conflict?

I don't know the name of the place but wherever the khajit live

 

[x-machina]

Don't know too much about the lore or geography, but I would like a desert setting. Morrowind had a bit of that, and they were the best parts of the game. Maybe something based off of Egypt.

 

[SnakeoilSage]

Valenwood would be fun; see those big migratory trees.

 

[camsha]

summerset isles because me and my love of people with pointy ears would freak out.

 

[soes757]

Screw the territories, I say all of Tamriel!

 

[ninkon]

You'll all should think crazy, I say, Akivir or the Redguard home land should be the next target. Yes, Akivir would be sweet

 

[Eumersian]

I actually always wanted to see a game across multiple provinces. I would have liked to see a game take place in Elsweyr, Valenwood, and the Summerset Isles. I had a whole plot worked out for why it would be that way too?

But primarily, I would like it to be in the Summerset Isles, because I think seafaring is awesome. Always.

So we haven't all been keeping a tally of the prophecy? Skyrim is the final chapter. They can make more games but the "story" arch is done. There's a book I found (can't remember where, but I think it was Dragonsreach) that outlines it. There are five verses, much like there are five Elder Scrolls Games. Each one entails the main events of the respective game

I want more Vvardenfell, preferrably with the option to revisit Morrowind

Wasn't Vvardenfell destroyed? I think Red Mountain erupted after the Oblivion Crisis and made it unhabitable

I will admit I don't know, I'd love a source on this though.

It doesn't have to progress in time, it could be a prequel, there was plenty of lore for the place.

Something about Red Tower refers to Morrowind, White Tower refers to White Gold tower in Cyrodiil, and "the Sons of Skyrim spill their own blood" is part of the fifth one. I hope I can find that damned book and prove I'm not bullshitting.

BTW I'm not saying they won't make another game, I'm just saying the overarching prophecy is done. Too much money to let a series die. Case in point: Halo.

 

[blankedboy]

Are you fucking kidding me? 6 votes for Black Marsh?
DON'T YOU GUYS WANT LIKE
BRUTAL BULLSHIT
AND ASSASSINS EVERYWHERE
AND BARELY BEING ABLE TO SURVIVE
AND THE MOST
RUTHLESS
ENVIRONMENT
EVER?


Failing that, Summerset Isles and the other continents take my vote. Some non-Tamriel content would be nice. Akavir has weird new races like more reptiles and stuff, so that'd be nice, Atmora's a frozen uninhabitable shithole so that doesn't really work, never heard of Pyandonea and Yokuda's a bit small.
There are other continents but I can't be bothered looking them up right now. I'm bored.

 

[Dango]

Elswyer, I'd like to see all the other breeds of Khajiit.

 

[Walkchalk]

Black Marsh all the way. Thats all Ive wanted to see since I started this series.

 

[Joshimodo]

Akavir! New races to interact with, and new cultures.

Failing that, a return to Morrowind (not just Vvardenfell, which of course is now practically just a crater) or a trip to High Rock and Hammerfell at the same time.

Elsweyr and Black Marsh just wouldn't work properly.

I would hate to see Summerset Isles. Full of elves...Ugh.

 

[BakaSmurf]

Personally... I would kind of like to see one set in the planes of the Daedric princes. We got to see Sheogoraths home in the Shivering Isles, I am rather interested in seeing what the other planes look like as well. Not to mention I am still dying of curiosity to see Molag Bal's plane after it was briefly mentioned by Sheogorath. That being said though, if I had to make a choice in the physical realm I would have to say Summerset Isles, or Highrock, simply because I am a sucker for Bretons. Elsewyr is really tempting, but I have to disqualify it because it has already been visited in a mod for Oblivion.

You mean you want Fallout 3 only without guns or the ability to engage in conversation with anyone? Really, Coldharbour is quite literally just post-apocolyptic Nirn, think Kvatch from Oblivion (minus the fire, since Coldharbour is described as being freezing, having slugey ground, and flaming skies) at a very high level, plus rampant slavery and molestation going on (Molag Bal is known as the King of Rape, after all), only extended to the entire game world and beyond, it might be mildly interesting if visited in small snippits, or more preferably, only once in a quest, but it would get old, fast.

Also, I'm sorry, but saying that Elsewyr is disqualified because someone already modded it into Oblivion earns a big fat juicy FAIL point for you, since how the mod author potrayed the provence could be completely different from Bethesda's vision of the area, not to mention that if Elsewyr were to be explored it would be happening at the very least 200 years after the Oblivion crisis, meaning it would be a VERY different place from what it was during Dagon's invasion.

That aside, I'm with you on exploring more of the Planes of Oblivion, as the majority of them sound like they'd be a blast to romp through, maybe the Daedric Shines bring you to the Prince's realm and you have to work your way to them before they give you their quest? Or they send you to the realms of princes they don't like to wreak havoc? Oh the possibilities...

 

[Bagged Milk]

Why can't we just stay in skyrim and go back in time? I am absolutely fascinated with the Dwemer. Maybe at the end of their run, like how they were going extinct!

 

[DirgeNovak]

Since the remaining provinces are pretty small, I'll say Elsweyr and Valenwood in the same game. Maybe a war between Khajiit and Bosmer? I know which side I'm picking... [sub]Bosmer suck[/sub]

 

[Yokai]

I'm guessing TESVI, whenever it exists, will probably take place across the entire continent of Tamriel, seeing as the remaining provinces are all smaller than the ones they've done already. At least, I hope so. I want to hear rumors in High Rock about some event in Elsweyr and then actually be able to go there and check it out.

Also, nice map, although it's clearly pre-Skyrim--Falkreath and Markarth don't even show up.

 

[scorptatious]

I probably would like to see the Black Marsh. I would like to see the home of my egg brothers.
