Ok, so say the Devs allowed you to pick between Akavir and Tamriel for TES V, which would you choose and why?
Tamriel, because there's still an insurmountable amount of lore there that has yet to be uncovered. The most I want from Akavir is maybe a few NPCs or creatures, perhaps a dungeon or two.
that was 15 years ago. i think bethesda can do it right, they already have cyrodils map with probably the same graphics tes-5 will have, and i think bethesda could pull htis off now. i wouldnt mind waiting longer for it. can you imagine if they did pull it off how great the game would be?
I highly doubt that they'll use the same graphics for TES 5, partially because its not something they've made a habit of in the past so there's no reason to assume they'll start now - especially considering they have plenty of time to work on bettering it. On top of that I really don't think they're lame enough to use the same map and engine twice, that would just svck.
Apart from that, that Arena was made forever ago is one of the reasons it could span the whole continent, it didn't need anything besides randomly generated land and it lacked the depth that the TES series now holds. It is without a doubt impossible for them to make any decent game encompassing the whole continent, its not even a debate...
