I remember there was a topic on the ES General forums a while back debating on what province the next ES game was going to be set in. Quite a few people wanted the game to be set in Summerset Isles, if I remember correctly, because of the Oblivion rumors about said province.

But now the game has been announced, and a lot of people probably haven't given this much thought. Would you had rather the game taken place in one of the other provinces?

I really didn't have a preference.

Skyrim is cool as hell.

Other cool province would be the argonian lands.

I used to want it to be in Elsweyr but then the idea of Skyrim grew on me over time. I wouldnt want it anywhere else right now.

personally im just glad to know when its coming dont really care what province its in

I just wanted another TES game.

I was personally hoping for the Summerset Isles, for 2 reasons....1. all of the talk about it in Oblivion....2. it seems like a very strange and magical land that i was looking forward to exploring.

But i alway have known that WHATEVER province they chose, would be good no matter what...so im not dissapointed.

Skyrim and Valenwood were on the top of my list. So, yes.

Thinking about it now, if there was some kind of vote before the game started being made, I probably would have voted for Valenwood. Especially after reading Dance in Fire.

Elsweyr Would have been awesome, but Skyrim will be amazing. I can't wait to play

I really wanted Elsweyr or Blackmarsh the most but any province is good to me.

Well, in terms of the ideal setting, I was kind of hoping for access to Skyrim, Hammerfell, and High Rock. Although obviously this was not going to happen because multiple provinces would be much harder for Bethesda to do nowadays.

But, to be honest, since that overactive imagination-based thought was primarily done out of favor for Skyrim (but with a desire to see plenty of ports as well, hence the inclusion of Hammerfell), I was naturally excited when they announced that Skyrim would be the setting.

I was kind of hoping the next Elder Scrolls game would be set in the north so I am happy.

Second choice would have been Summerset Isles. Valenwood would be kinda cool as well but I am not sure if it alone is varied enough to justify devoting an entire game to it, perhaps if it were combined with Elsweyr.

Summerset Isles or Blackmarsh.

I personally was hoping one of those two, or Skyrim. I think I was mostly hoping for Black Marsh, because Argonians are my favorite race. But I don't think a Black Marsh game will be happening for a while.

I would have prefered Valenwood, however when I heard that it may possibly be skyrim, I was very excited.



(and also being thankful that it wasn't taking place on the summerset isles. :laugh:)

Three words: IM A NORD

Yes, yes I did.

Holy hell, we're capable of agreeing on something? Awesome.

Personally I was hoping for:

1-Elsweyr (Largely because Khajiit are just so damned interesting,)
2-Valenwood (Cannibalism. Of course, with how hostile it's supposed to be...Idunno.)
3.Summerset or High Rock (Preferably Summerset, but both of these because the magic of TES is what really drew me in initially.)

I kinda had a feeling it was gonna be Skyrim, especially with all that leaked info on how the name "Skyrim" was trademarked

one of these days i hope they do the whole continent. like one province every few months. you know, keep going till its all there.

No, because we already had medieval style. But I'll live. It looks cool.

Didn't really think about it too much, but my preference was either for Black Marsh or Summerset Isle. Both had some rather interesting rumors going on about them in Oblivion (and Infernal City shows and implies a lot of equally interesting events in the former) that seemed worth following up on. To be honest, Skyrim was kind of on the bottom of my list, if only because I felt I got a taste of its landscape and culture (sorta') in Bloodmoon.

No, I was hoping for Summerestset Isles because then I thought the place could bring back some of that more exotic Morrowind flavor.

On the other hand I almost always play Nords in TES(only once did I play another race, that was a Khajit) and snow environments are my fav land type. The Bruma area was my fav place in Oblivion and Solsthiem is my fav place in all of TES games (the atmosphere was so awesome in Solsthiem). I did not think about this during the long wait for the announcement of TESV had I done so I might have realized that Skyrim may indeed be the best I could hope for and now have gotten.

So I am very pleased with what we got, even though it was not my original pick.

I sure as [censored] did.

And 11-11 is my lucky number. (for years)

Its awesome to be me. :biggrin:
