Poll: If Skyrim gets DLC, which province should it go to next?

[robert022614]

black marsh or elsweyr would be awesome!

Hmm...Well, like others in this thread I doubt they'll do a DLC which is one of the other provinces of Tamriel : those are usually reserved for whole games rather than DLC/expansions pack (Daggerfall being an exception I think). If it turned out that they DID go that route, most likely it would be one of the provinces that haven't been used at all in the series, so Black Marsh, Valenwood or the Summerset Isles. Perhaps even Orsinium though I thought I read in one of the wikis that Orsinium had been destroyed by High Rock and Hammerfell.

What I would really like would be something that allowed me to become a Jarl and help fight the Thalmor more extensively. I don't think I'm the only one who, after completing the Civil War questline, thought to themselves "Hey, I did EVERYTHING in this bloody war, and all I'm getting in return is a random weapon every so often? Well YOL to you too, mate"

I didn't know that a new DLC meant it had to be in a new province - isn't that what each separate standalone game does?

Both DLCs will be in a similar style to The Shivering Isles (confirmed, Pete Hines); massive new landmasses that feel like a separate games, with their own main quest and extra fun things to do on the side.

I think one could be either the capital of the Dwarves (next to Blackreach) or Aetherius [http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Aetherius] (opposite of Oblivion, theoretically impossible to get to & the place I believe the Dwemer to be).

The other DLC could involve either the Akaviri - their "next invasion" was estimated to be around 400 years after Uriel Septim V invaded Akavir, which puts it at around the same time as Skyrim take place; or a conclusion to the Thalmor/Empire storyarch introduced for this game setting of the civil war, which was handled quite poorly, and the blades. Plus it could help the tie up the lore for everything left double-ended or inconclusive as the more they wrap up in Skyrim, the more they can start afresh in the next TES game which starting afresh is what Bethesda like to do.

Morrowind, i'd like to see the destruction caused by the red year.

8) Akivir (By popular demand): Homeland of the dragons, it is where the Redguards immigrated from, Seperated from Tamriel by ocean to the west.

Your a tad wrong on this. The Redguards immigrated from the continent of Yokuda to the west which was destroyed some time ago after a civil war. Only a small archielago remains of Yokuda.

Akavir is indeed the home of the dragons along with some other races. However it lies 4200 miles to Tamriel's east not its west.

Anyway I hope we get the Summerset Isles so as to put a stop to the Thalmor. However your poll lacks this option so I voted for more of inside Skyrim.

Sorry, I'll fix that, I just made the connection because I knew some of the Redguard's Continent still existed and that there were once humans living on Akivir

Black Marsh. Something, and don't ask me what, has always made me want to visit the home of the Argonians. I've never played one, and I doubt I will, even if they release a thing to go to their homeland. But I digress. I'd love to see their homeland, but failing that, take me where the Kahjitt come from, if only for the chance that they'll give us some background on who Mai'q the Liar is, and why he has to break the fourth wall with every waking breath.

I just hope there's some Civil War DLC so I can kill some more Thalmor. If its in a new province, I hope they let us try and recruit said province back into the empire or into an alliance with skyrim. Morrowind or Hammerfell would be nice, especially since we've already met some Alik'r Redguards from Hammerfell and some Dark Elf refugees from Morrowind.

Cyrodiil! Just for the trolling.

I think someone should do a full game overhaul where they use the old maps from the old games, and link them up with mountains (making them smaller, or passable somehow), making an EPIC size world to walk accross.

If you thought WoW was big enough, you are wrong!

in skyrim there are paths that lead into other povinces. It took me ages to find it, but there is a road that leads back into cyrodil thats blocked by a big gate.
And i do want to go back to cyrodil and see what has happened to it in my absence

None! They should make the base game better instead, with less repetitive dialogue like "arrow to the knee", more choice, more dialogues, better characters, more non-violent solutions to quests. Making the game deeper and better, not bigger.

regardless of how you feel about the base game, this isn't very likely. Few people will be willing to buy 'skyrim: the better edition'. From a financial standpoint, it makes way more sense to create completely new things

Isn't that what Fallout 3 - Broken Steel did? Why not put more quests, more options in Skyrim itself instead of making the game bigger? I would leave other locations for a spin-off a la Fallout New Vegas.

Hmm, something like Broken Steel would be good, unless of course you have to pay for (as another user put it) Skyrim: The Better Version.
