Do we really know it's all of Skyrim ?

Well, you see my point, Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind was only Vvardenfell, What if TES Skyrim isn't all of Skyrim maybe a part ? Just like Morrowind.
I really wouldn't like it that way but what do you think ?

Vvardenfell was a convenient cutoff point. Skyrim has no such thing.

And Oblivion was all of Cyrodil. So I wouldn't worry about it being one chunk of the province. But even if it is, Bethesda will make an awesome world no matter what.

it would be great if it spanned all the way to the coast of north west morrowind and spills into a little bit of high rock
so it would be great to see it span a little MORE than skyrim, just to see the difference

What, Lady N. said. Vvardenfell was only an island province of Morrowind. A convenience of lend by a natural boundary.

And Oblivion was all of Cyrodil....


Tell that to the residents of Sutch. :P

Could we expect other cities such as Sutch to vanish ?

im about 99.9999% sure all of skyrim will be in the game. And if they delete any cities, it will probably just be one or two tops.

It would be great if it were more than just Skyrim and went even further to another province.

I don't think the question is "Will it be all of Skyrim?", but "How much land does Skyrim have at the time portrayed in the game?

TES games have never taken place strictly in the area the title implies they would take place.

Arena: All areas of Tamriel
Daggerfall: Highrock and Hammerfell
Morrowind: Just Vvardenfel
Oblivion: All of Cyrodil
Skyrim: ???

See what I mean? If Skyrim does indeed take place in strictly Skyrim I for one would be shocked.

Considering how much people whine about wanting more than one province, I wouldn't expect Bethesda to do the reasonable thing.

I wouldn't mind to see a little bit of Morrowind and a little bit of Hammerfell. I think Bruma should be in it as well for the like the intro or something.

Vvardenfell was a convenient cutoff point. Skyrim has no such thing.


This is quite true, and the last time Bethesda did a province that had no convenient cutoff point, they did the whole thing (Cyrodiil in Oblivion.) that is. While we don't know for certain that the game will cover all of Skyrim, it would seem likely. I think the really important question is not how much of Skyrim the game will cover, but how much that will be scaled down, because it seems unlikely that we'll get a game on Daggerfall's scale again. I think it's safe to say that, like Oblivion and Morrowind before it, Skyrim will present a version of the eponymous province that's smaller than what it should be in lore, but the question is, how much so? It may be that we'll see a larger map than Oblivion, this time around, only time will tell.

Tell that to the residents of Sutch.


That's different, though, because the area where Sutch was formerly located seems to still be in the game, so it still covers all of Cyrodiil, it's just that not all cities that were mentioned in the lore before the game are still present in its version of Cyrodiil, and Sutch got replaced with a fort of the same name. Just because all the landmass of a particular province is in the game doesn't necessarily mean every known city or landmark will also be in it.

Arena: All areas of Tamriel
Daggerfall: Highrock and Hammerfell
Morrowind: Just Vvardenfel
Oblivion: All of Cyrodil
Skyrim: ???


If you take Arena to mean Tamriel, as it seems Bethesda has justified the title of Arena by doing, then it could be argued that Arena actually covers all the areas its name would imply, of course, back when it was originally released, people who saw the game wouldn't know this.

And Morrowind didn't cover everything its name might imply, it actually covered LESS, by this same logic, Skyrim could potentially end up only including a part of the province too.
