Basically all of it. But that doesn't necessarily mean we're ever likely to see all of it. Resources in game design aren't infinite, regardless of how wealthy a studio is, or how many staff it has. There are always sacrifices that need to be made. Even The Witcher 3 is less than a 10th the size it is in the literature.
Even when you look at the best developed worlds in literature, things get glossed over, left out or otherwise downplayed because there's only so much effort to go around. The Ent Wives, pre-Holtzman space travel, the eff are the Giants of Albion are... Such is the price of fiction, I'm afraid.
We have seen a Sload before, and I reasonably expect Imga in Valenwood (particularly after the uproar about their seclusion and hiding in ESO) but beyond that, I don't really expect to see the others, any more than I expect to see a Hobb, or a Cyrodiilic Bird-Man, or a Flying Whale.
