One world Elder Scrolls

Post » Sun Aug 07, 2011 7:00 pm

Hi. im a long time player of Elder Scrolls, i first started with morrowind and now Obilvion and soon will be playing Skyrim. i and been thinking for the longest time about a idea that could bring all the worlds of Elder Scrolls in to one world. hear me out and think of the gameplay that it could bring and hours of play aswell.

i have been thinking what if we bring all the Elder Scrolls back and merg them in to one world, where you could travel from each part, you would remain with the same role as in ever story and not change the storys any at all. this would bring the old glory of the first 4 and even Morrowind back. ( not to say there is none )

the only thing that would have to be done far as i can tell is to redo the old data so that it works under the Obilvion/Skyrim engine, so that they all look and feel the way they should, or you could just covert the data to work under one engine such as what Obilvion/Skyrim uses so that it could be done.

Im not at all sure if anyone knows what im speaking of, but it has been a long time idea of joining all the Elder Scrolls worlds in to one huge world where you could travel from Arena to Skyrim and everthing in the middle and do all of there quests.

I was also wanting to know where i could find the first 4 Elder Scrolls and how they could be played on a Windows 7 pc. im aware that they are most likely dos based. and dos doesnt exist ( far as i know ) on Windows 7.

Thank you for such great games BSoft ;)

well on the bethesda site im pretty sure you can download arena and daggerfall for free. as for all the areas of Tamriel put together, its been suggested many times and i doubt it will happen any time soon.

Thats not a possibility, simply because the devs have (literally) lost alot of core data over time and don't have any backup, that coming from Todd himself (correct me if I'm wrong someone). Not to mention the shear amount of work it would take to do such a task would be unfathomable. Beth has released Arena and Daggerfall for free to the public, a simple google search could get you results needed (as I don't remember the exact place you get em :P) but there's no hope of ever getting all of them combined and updated, hell, there's no chance of getting them updated (again, they can't), but getting all that bundled up into one is out of the question.

Pretty cool idea though.

I'd say the closest we'll ever get to this in our lifetimes is http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1201579-wip-tamriel-rebuilt-sacred-east-2/ for Morrowind or http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1213886-under-the-sign-of-the-dragon-tamriel-heightmapslandscapes/ for Oblivion or whatever the Tamriel Rebuilt team have planned for Skyrim.

Arena's gameworld would conflict with the gameworlds of all the other games.

Maybe it's because I can barely understand what you're saying (is English your first language?) but this idea doesn't make any sense to me. Are you trying to say you want to go from Arena's all of Tamriel randomly generated as you go world,to Daggerfalls 60,000 square mile world, to Morrowind's world to Oblivion's world, and do all of the stories of all of them, and have the same game mechanics of all of them, in the one game?

Because that's what it sounds like (I think), but that could be achieved simply by playing one game, exiting, and entering another. If you mean anything else, I totally don't get how it's possible, the games are not compatible in any way.

EDIT: And I have no idea what you mean when you say "Travel from Arena to Skyrim". Arena is set in all of Tamriel, it makes no sense to "travel to Skyrim" from there unless you're talking about the Skyrim that's already in the game.

yes its my first language ;)

ya thats what im talking about, one large world where all the storys of Elder scrolls are in one game/one world, and you can travel from one to another and do all there storys/quests.

but as already stated its just not gonna happen or it cant be done as there might be problems in joining the games in to one large game. but if it did happen it be one of the largest game worlds that would nearly never end.
