What Regions Have We Not Visited in TES Series? Do you think

Post » Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:36 pm

I played a little of Morrowind, all of Oblivion (Cyrodiil), and I'm now in Skyrim. What regions has the series not taken us. I understand TES I: Arena was in all of Tamriel but besides that what regions have not had a game? Just finished the UESP wiki and about the other continents. Awesome. Do we know any more details? I wan tto meet the Tigers who are turning into dragons. Do you think we will ever get to go to those continents? I'm not yet ready to get into other planets or other domensions, but if you have anything interesting feel free.

I understand your excitement, I used to feel that way. Let http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Report:_Disaster_at_Ionith in game book tickle your imagination for a bit.

We've had High Rock (TES II: Daggerfall), Hammerfell (TES II: Daggerfall and Redguard), Skyrim (TES V: Skyrim), part of the province of Morrowind, specifically the isle of Vvardenfell and the city of Mournhold (TES III: Morrowind), and Cyrodiil (TES IV: Oblivion).

The remaining provinces are Summerset Isle, Valenwood, Elsweyr, Black Marsh, and mainland Morrowind. So basically all of the south; most of the interesting places lol.

Outside of Tamriel on other continents, there's Yokuda to the west (the ruined/partially sunken home of the Redguards), Pyadonea to the south (an archipelago that is the home of Sea Elves), and to the far east, the large continent of Akavir. I'd be surprised if we ever had a game in one of those, considering how foreign they are to the established setting.
Oh, what about Thras? The Sload's place? Is that still around or... is it like underwater or something? I can't recall.

edit: Forgot about Atmora to the north, but it's a frozen wasteland I believe.

Thras sunk, but the Sload being all sload-like straight up didn't give a fudge and resurrected the place.

Oh, we had a thread with some number-crunching on this subject a while back... damn, my memory is poor.

I found a map saying it was 4200 mile sand the book posted before said 6 weeks. What numbers were crunched? Could the mages or dwarven steam tech helped?

4200 miles, is only a 100 miles a day. That's about 4 to 5 knots an hour on average, which is a pretty feasible sailing speed even for ships like the Empire would likely have had. Of course they must have had some luck not to encounter any mayor storms and what not. As for the regions, I've been wanting to visit Summerset pretty much since I've heard about TES IV and was absolutely convinced they were going to make it take place there, so I'm still hoping we will visit that region soon. The southern half of the continent has to be visited eventually...

It took Columbus many months to travel 3,000 miles from Spain to the Americas. Thats my comparison.

The Altmer, or more specifically the Tholmar and Aldmeri Dominion, have been given a prominant role in the current situation of TES universe. I'd be surprised if the next game wasn't set in the Summerset Isles.

Well small difference is that he had no idea what he was doing while this "road" had been sailed before, so it's possible that people knew of the best way to sail. Also, perhaps more important it's possible that mages helped by constantly keeping the wind in the sails. Still it's an absurd speed to travel such a distance but not impossible, even with conventional means. You just have to be lucky.

I hope so, but with the Thalmor it's going to be hard to have a character being anything else then an Altmer or possibly Bosmer and still be important. Why in heavens name would a Nord or a Dunmer or something like that ever be succesful in the Summerset Isles. Still renaming the place to Alinor does make sense if you look purely at a naming convention kind of thing. Tes VI: Alinor sounds a lot better then TES VI: Summerset Isle
