About the name, Skryim?

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 6:06 am

First of, I am not discussing the location, merely the Title of the game and what it hints compared to previous TES games, In TES IV the game was called oblivion (HURR DURR) but it was called so because besides the main land, there where plains of oblivion the player could travel two summoned by the deadric prince of destruction ( again, HURR DURR). This is why thy did not call it TES IV Cyrodil. Does this mean, based on the title of the game, that there will be no different planes, or lands that player can travel across, is it ONLY going to be Skyrim? Is the Title of the game set in stone?
What are your guys opinions?

Oblivion was chosen because calling it Elder Scrolls IV Cryodill would sound stupid. Skyrim is obviously going to occur in Skyrim just like Morrowind occured in Morrowind well Vardenfell but same thing.

Well, Daggerfall was named after the location, but there were alot of other places you could visit. I think that Skyrim will be the main locale, but there will be some trips to other places

Daggerfall was called Daggerfall and you could definitely travel outside of Daggerfall or Daggerfall city.

previous games where all named after the lands they took place in so oblivion was an oddity at that. And i hope so i dont want to travel to other planes i like the physical plane well enough
