Falinesti walks no more, even before the Oblivion Crisis. Lo : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Thu May 17, 2012 9:55 am

http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1374705-new-gameinformer-article-the-aldmeri-dominion/, but a small snippet creates a rather confusing issue:

Valenwood’s capitol Falinesti, actually used to migrate south in the winter, but the tree containing the city has recently stopped walking.

Buuuuuut:

Current Events

...Falinesti, the “walking city” of trees, has rooted itself for the first time in recorded history.

Thoughts?

P.S. I should probably note that http://www.gamesas.com/forum/189-the-elder-scrolls-online/ is in the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Second_Era, and the "http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Fourth_Era" talks about right after Oblivion which is the start of the 4th Era.

Forgetfulness on the part of developers.

All I ever wanted from a TES game, since A Dance in Fire from Morrowind, is to see Falinesti walk.

Thank you Zenimax, thank you ever so much for putting the effort to make something unique and mindblowing.
Thank you for not pulling something out of your ass like 'it mysteriously stopped moving'

Not saying this just for in the moment or to act elitist, but after Skyrim I always pictured TES VI to be in Valenwood or Elswyer. I ALWAYS wanted to see a walking city. In TES VI I doubt it (Hypothetically assuming its Valenwood) since it is obviously after the Oblivion Crisis, but I was kind of hoping to see some DLC or something that went back in time and we could see this lore alive. TESO was Bethesda's once chance and they and Zenimax Online blew it.

Not to sound like a complainer, just a little irked.

Its not like I am with TESO anyway /sarcasm

Is anyone surprised?

Not really, I have always convinced myself to expect the unexpected.
