elder scrolls game set in one city what would it be?

So basically I was thinking what if they made an ES the was solely based in one city. now this 1 city would be about the same size as skyrim or oblivion. so basically it would be on giant ass city that you could get lost in. and it would finally be a city worth calling a city now there would the sewers or some caves or some thing under the city and these sewers would be like a maze almost. so you could possibly get lost in the sewers and or caves for days at a time......... think about Kvatch and how its on top of a cliff or small mountain what ever it is its on. But any ways there could be some caves or some thing inside the hill mountain thing is on.......... now my other idea would be that it be not just the city but what ever county/ hold its in so say the game is based in skingrad you would have the city it self be about half of the map and the other half would be the rest of skingrad county...... or if its the IC you would get the IC ( and again be about half the size of the map which again the mape is the size of skyrim or oblivion) and the other half would be the island around the IC............ just wanted to put this out here maybe here some ideas to add to mine.

I don't want a game set inside a city at all. I vote "None." That is one of the (many) things that ruined Dragon Age 2.

yeah that did kinda make me mad when i found out that the whole game ( or what all i played of the game never finished it) was set in one city. but i think it would be pretty cool in an elder scrolls game.

Probably not the best thing for TES6 (or 7), but a Redguard-like action adventure in the IC would be great. Maybe Arkane are bored now since Dishonored is released and they could do it :biggrin:

The stupid plot and forced love stories ruined dragon age, the city wasn't that bad actually.

This is a pretty good idea, Arkane would most likely do a very good job with it :smile: And Redguard was an excellent game, besides the technical issues.

It would also give us a properly scaled impression of the Imperial City, it's really much too small in TES4 to be the capital of the Empire.

yes exactly with the red guard thing it would just be the size of skyrim or some thing like i said before and the city would be half the size or at the least 1/3 the size of the skyrim map and the rest would be the island around the IC and probably the lake going all the way to the shore maybe to that town or village thing right before you get to the bridge go to the IC.

With a decent stealth system it could be something about the DB or Thieves Guild, by far the best guilds over all in the series. The only problem would be the population, a full-scale IC would need a lot of NPCs, but personally I'd be ok with a hub-based system like Dishonored.

Come to think of it, this sounds like a weird mix between TES and Thief. brb, re-installing Thief 2. :D

It worked in Assassins Creed 1, so I'm all for a game set in the IC (or some other city) with surrounding farmlands.

There aren't any cities in Tamriel as big as a whole province.

It won't work as a main game, but I'd love to see another spin-off similar to Redguard. Imperial City sounds good :)
