I want neither of them. Despite everyone saying that it can be so much more, and indeed, the fact that I agree, I expect that, if the next game were set in Skyrim, Bethesda would make it into Boring Ice and Snow Land. Now, I don't mind ice and snow, I liked Bloodmoon quite a bit, and it had a fair bit of ice and snow. But when the entire game looks like Solstheim or the Jerall Mountains, it's going to get boring at some point. Plus, the Nords are probably one of the more boring races in the game, not that you can fault them for it. When your world is full of magic and lizard men, Not-Vikings are going to seem mundane by comparison, even if they've been known to use magic voice powers. And Summerset Isle? It's full of elves, that's reason enough for me to not want to go there. Morrowind gave us enough elves already, and while I tend to dislike Dunmer as people, at least they had some fairly interesting culture there, Altmer, I expect, on the other hand, would just be your generic high elves, except more yellow.
I'd rather see Elsweyr, but that's not on the poll. Still, any game that takes place elsewhere would be nice.
