Nobody needs to tell you, but I will. Oblivion only has about 10 square miles of playable space. Now what do you think about a seven year Tamriel? If you want a 1 square mile vvardenfell, or a Summerset isle with ten people on it fine, go mod it.

Not that it matters, but I'm in a nitpickin', know-it-all mood and just have to tell you that Yokuda is an archipelago know, not just one island. Cheers! :foodndrink:

When considering past games, lets not forget we had a swamp in SI. Also, Ob's MQ was almost entirely in the Skyrim border zone. Does this make these things "been there already" ot "Warm up"?

How many of you suspected Vvardenfell would be the next location after whichever game came before that was beat?
If the devs wanted to make it a surprise they wouldn't pick the most obvious place. I thought Skyrim or Black Marsh after I beat Morrowind and joined this site. It wasn't until I joined this site that I found out I needed to get a 360 to run the 'new' Elder Scrolls lV: Oblivion that I was ignorant of having ever been released. But, I think it should be Black Marsh, mainland Morrowind, or maybe something mysterious and unexpected.

That's not very smart.
What would be left to play afterwards?

The Elder Scrolls: Dance Dance Revolution...

I think Bethesda has been exhibiting significant trends of 'obvious' lately.

*sprinkles joy-snow

joy-snow, eh? This means that you are agreeing with Paw's observation, right? I sure hope so...

I think it's more an implication that paws shouldn't take things so seriously.
Or, maybe, that he should get wasted.

Awww.

Or maybe that no one is really getting the point.

Which is?

Blueberry pie.

i think he meant to say that its going to get more interesting and less obvious. more farting contests and less Thor.

or something :spotted owl:

[edit] i like apply myself.

Damn, I'd rather have peach.....

The Tamriellic answer to Woad. I like it.

MK ∈ Bethesda.

This topic evolved rather... interesting.

Just gave me a strange thought there - what if the climate changed so that deserts turned to snow and Glacier terrain became desert ...

Then all the races of Tamriel could play musical Provinces.

No. I disliked the fact that Cyrodill wasn't a jungle in the first place. I don't want them to change the climate again.

I can feel for that swag. What I disliked about that was there was no in-game reason for that ... the countryside was more like the local park than partially untouched primeval forest or jungle. If you had seen some of the Islands off the Coast of Seattle and Washington State before the loggers decimated them ... truly spooky.

However the obvious call given the above is Skyrim

I don't think MK was talking Easter Eggs, but if he was there might be Mana in the Desert - in that way you could have 'magic-snow' falling from the skies in the deserts of either Elsweyr or Hammerfell.

But seriously, Shoegorrath might do that anywhere with frogs, blood, moonsugar or rubber duckies. :twirl:

For those who aren't in the know, "joy-snow" is a reference to an http://www.imperial-library.info/obscure_text/aldudagga.shtml#3. That text in particular is about a Nordic legend told by Nordic Nords about stuff that happened in Nordic Skyrim and it talks about Skyrim Nords and Nordic Skyrim. Also, there are some bits of Nords and of Skyrim inside. Plus, Skyrim. And Nords.

"The earliest hunters had no luck; spouts of joy-snow [from the whales above] would drift down from the clouds and turn the men goofy. They would laugh like happy babes, some getting so tickled that they'd roll back down the mountainside in big flumphs--which only begat more guffaws-- or begin to pat each other on the back or hug in the masculine style to reaffirm their affections and camaraderie; in essence, the joy-snow got in their heads and they just forgot what they were doing."

Stay clear of the joy-snow, people.

Especially if you're at risk of rolling down a mountainside in a big http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flumph.
