If anything, Black Marsh would be the only Province to not be featured in a game. It's so dangerous no Mer or Men have lived their in centuries. The last Men to live there were the Kothringi Tribesmen and they were driven out by a horrible flu. So, in summation, the only realistic way to feature Black Marsh would be a Traveler in a boat passing by the shore, or an Argonian which would be the only race able to survive.

Elsweyr got my vote, largely due to its exotic desert-based setting (sand, Sphinxes, and fuzzy beasties), but I'm certainly plenty stoked to get to go to Skyrim in this next installment.



The major downside to this is that such a game would require simply an INSANE number of man-years to complete, and would significantly delay its release for a sizable quantity of time. No developer wants to lose that amount of productivity (and revenue) in an industry so dependent upon regular, clockwork-timed releases for profitability puposes.

You could easily do a game like Arena, where one inch on the gameworld map equals dozens of miles, but to cover that same amount of territory in painstaking, down-to-the-very-last-blade-of-grass subtle detail would absolutely kill the developers.

I disagree, there is no point in avoiding such an exotic and interesting place just for the sake of "biological correctness". Maybe at some point the air became breathable, maybe other races found a remedy or their organisms simply became immune to poison in time from the exposure. Maybe fighting the hostile environment will be a distinct part in the story, who knows? I wouldn't give away so easily a gem like Black Marsh, which cries mistery and adventure, based on the little things that we already know from the books.

Too be honest, I've been used to it being Skyrim for so many years that Its hard to think of it being anywhere else.

Years? You knew it would be in Skyrim?
