I'm looking forward to the mystery of Summerset Isle, the beauty of Valenwood and Elsweyr, and perhaps the politics of High Rock seeing as though both Bretons and Orcs share the continent. Perhaps if we visit High Rock you can choose who to support out of the two.
Also, if you're still worried that the continents are too small despite the devs being able to scale things as they like, Beth can easily combine a couple of them so as to create a Hammerfell/High Rock combo, or a Valenwood/Elsweyr combo, etc.

So, the big provinces of Tamriel have all been covered in TES titles. What's left? Black Marsh, Elsweyr, High Rock, Summerset Isles, and Valenwood. Those are all small dangling places and I don't see any potential in making a major game release in just one of them.

What can we do?

Ther will be plenty of games, this is a strong series.

You are right, Oblivion was about 4X as big as morrowind. (It seems to be a common mistake to think morrowind is huge, it just feels huge because you have to take a very snaking route between towns, it has low draw distance, and there is no fast travel. Use a mod to give extreme draw distances, and you will see each town is about 50 meters away from every other town.

Anyway, they would certainly lump both Elsweyr and Valenwood into the same game, them being adjacent and roughly making a neat circular area.


I thought it was more like 1.5x bigger than Morrowind. It doesn't really matter anyway, it's just not to scale.

do you mean the size? vvardenfell is about the size of elsweyr and summerset isles, black marsh and valenwood are larger then vvardenfell. even if vvardenfell was a small island in the middle of morrowind, i considered it to be a large land to explore. the other provinces that are left to be made (except valenwood), still interest me to explore them

I'm playing it now. It's called Arena. :P


Arena's areas were mostly randomly generated though, so I'm not sure that counts.

And yes, I'd love to play the whole of Tamriel at some point. Even if Tamriel is exhausted, there's always places like Akavir to go to.

What logic are you basing this off? No really i'm interested. Because it isn't the Tamriel map. Hammerfell is at least as big as Skyrim and people would love to return to Daggerfall. Not to mention the other regions you mentioned as "small dangling places" which in fact are actually just as large as Skyrim.

I suspect a Troll. If not then you should be one, you have potential.

Eh, maps aren't to scale. If it was, Skyrim would half the size of Cyrodil, but ingame its going to be bigger.

I'm hoping for Summerset Isles next up.

MAGIC FTW!

Black Marsh is basically the same size as Skyrim.

Valenwood and Elsyweyr COULD be put together.

Summerset just has so much history it hurts.

Who knows about High Rock.

Well once they are done with the provinces they are going to make TES Ultimate now you can go to ALL of the provinces in one game.

I doubt it. They would sooner go to Chorol ... or what ever the name of the place the Sload are from.

What do you mean the big provinces have been done?

The games aren't 1:1 scale you know, you could do an entire Elder Scrolls game set in one city, with a worldspace of 10,000km^2, that doesn't mean that the city is bigger than any of the provinces.

I don't think the series will be done after Skyrim as we still got Summerset Isle.

My dream elder scrolls game would be like this:

It would feature the whole of Tamriel. The race you choose selects your starter province. Argonians in black marsh, Dunmer in Morrowind etc.

Each province would have its own mini main quest, its own cities, economy etc.
There would be one big main quest that you probably could only start late in the game, when you have enough influence in your home province, and the leaders of the other provinces like you enough. (By doing lots of good deed quests for that province, or the mini main.)

It would be done with the attention to detail, hand placed items etc. that Morrowind had.

I realise that this is a long way off, probably TES X. And even then each province would probably need its own disc.
(Perhaps sold seperately. Each province could be a game on its own, but other discs would lead your character in new provinces and on the road of the meta main quest.)

Will probably never happen :)

But that would be my dream TES.

My first disc would be: Summerset.

Don't forget the whole other continent (or is it an island?) of Akavar! It may not be that big but it's big enough to house 4 unique races we've never even seen. Oh and not to mention all the other Daedric spheres!

I think if they continue TES---which I think they will...or someone will....they still can put a few countries together. Hammerfell + High Rock would equal a good sized map, same as Elyswr + Valenwood together.


Or, they may set the game in the future where the political landscape has changed (like LOTR, the 4 ages)

I'm worried this might be the last Elder Scrolls. I read somewhere that all of the main events from earlier games led up to the return of the dragons.

If you do a province that's small you can just adjust the scale to make it bigger.... if that makes sense....
