Skyrim, for quite a few reasons. First and foremost of which, I'm [censored] sick of elves. Well, sorta. Just think, Morrowind is an elven culture, In the lore Nibeneans are High-Elf lite, while Colovians are Nordic lite, but we didn't get any distinguished cultural lore in Oblivion. let's have a human province, please.
Second, if, as the book implies, Summerset Isles are the seat of the racially and culturally intolerant New Aldmeri Dominion, it would be almost impossible to play a non-Altmer, and even more so if you are human. They could pull a Morrowind, saying that even if you are an Altmer you aren't from the isles, but they've done that before. Skyrim is implied to be almost completely independent, so you could conceivably play any race, and still get oodles of new lore.
Third, Nords are just awesome, and if a person needs more than that as a reason to do something, then that person is a truly sad individual.
Fourth: IT'S NOT JUST [censored] SNOW!
Fifth: Unearthing the Falmer civilization would provide dungeons like the Dwemer and Ayleid ruins, but also be completely new.
