Announced on the same day I was turned down a job opportunity to work on it.
Looking at the art style, I think they were convinced they had imitated you well enough to not need you.
What were you aiming for?
Also, if anything, the idea of exploring the alternate world referred to by Vivec during the legendary trial threads would be rather amazing. I can only hope that is where the setting will be. Good thing TES has no set canon, amirite?
I guess between 2E650 and 2E750 could work as a timeframe, but making up excuses for all those unlikely alliances in that short time (the beast races were still seen as monsters, right?) seems like a major headache.
The answer is simple: they were quick and begrudged alliances in the face of an unexpected enemy who is yet to be explained.
"[You will play as] an adventurer whose soul has already been stolen by Molag Bal. This provides a convenient in-fiction rationale for being able to come back from death over and over again."
No it doesn't!!! NO IT DOESN'T!!!!!
Molag Bal loves torturing his captives forever and ever and ever and ever and ever. So it makes sense he would put the player through this sort of thing for as long as he likes. He never gets bored of his playtoys, so long as they scream and bleed for him.
