An Elder Scrolls Movie or TV Series : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

Neither for me.

Why does everything has to be a franchise nowadays? I just want to play an amazing computer game. I don't want Hollywood or HBO interfering with that.

Why would they? The game would be the game, and the movie would be the movie. Even if the movie were to svck, the game would still be awesome.

I don't trust them to do it right and I don't trust them not to change canon in an effort to make any potential movie or TV series more accesible. It wont impact Skyrim, but it will impact future games.

well, if a movie or series (TV or Web) were to be produced, it would be by a different team, not by the people developing games. It's like the Tamriel MMO that has supposedly been in planning for a while. ZeniMax would have a team doing that while Bethesda continues to produce games.

The most involvement the game developers would have in either hypothetical project would be in the role of creative consultant.

And in answer to your question, I think that the "no" option was intended to be the one that involves just moving along and not posting... I think...

While i can see what your saying, i'm still not sure they would be able to do the series justice in a film or tv show format, i may be wrong!

Also, surely with it being a poll, there should be a for and against option? I mean, with it essentially being a debate and all, or perhaps the OP is looking for people who only agree...

I want to see a ES: Redguard movie, but then become terrified with the thought at what they'd do to it and Cyrus. Battlespire would be somewhat hard to screw up. Plenty of action for them to have fun with. Plenty of dialogue and daedra seducers. Guy gets the girl at the end. Big bad demon vanquished. Yeah it could possibly work.
