Where would you want a Skyrim expansion to take place?

It works well, I just pointed out WHY its a solid, and reasonable expansion territory. Plotwise, Faction War already done in skyrim, no need for another, :P


definately, nothing wrong with the ideas about elsweyr or summerset isle, i just think they will be made into seperate games on their own.

I hope so, Bethseda have been pretty smart about these things, if Bethseda made the expansion packs people called for when Oblivion was released, there wouldn't be any tamriel left.

I would say random province around skyrim, highrock or hammerfell could kick in. Wouldnt mind having morrowind redo and place it near skyrim as well cyrodill. Then expand it in all direction, that can be a huge roleplaying experiences.

I'm always looking forward to new land masses, but with a game like Skyrim there are so many DLC possibilities.

I'm probably going to get crucified for this...


..but I would love to go back to Cyrodiil in an expansion.

Now before you begin lighting torches and sharpening pitchforks, hear me out.

Imagine running around in the same areas that your (Oblivion) character ran around 200 years in the past, hearing stories and reading books about the Oblivion events and the hero who saved Tamriel all that time ago, to me this would be an extremely profound, almost out of body, kind of experience. Sure, the character you're playing wouldn't really have anything to do with your old Oblivion character unless it were worked in to the story somehow, but you as the player would be remembering and recalling the locations, the talk and the lore, and seeing how it has all evolved/devolved in the last 200 years.

Now tell me that wouldn't be freaking cool.

I think it would be an incredibly nostalgic experience to go back to an altered version of the world that I (if not everyone) was so familiar with. Now I'm talking geographical changes (like the city of Anvil being mostly under water, or maybe the sea has receded and the city has been expanded out onto the cliffside where the ocean once dropped off) as well as other changes like Kvatch being up and running again, the Imperial City being run down and not quite as glamorous as it once was, venturing to the ruins of the Blades Temple, visiting what once was the Cheydenhal Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, etc.

It would be interesting to see what became of everything after your character in Oblivion had lived out his/her lives and everything in the empire changing.
Thoughts???

Imperial City to assassinate and replace the current emperor. The emperor should be Dragonborn. By which I mean me.

I have to agree. I'd love to go back to Cyrodiil and see how things have changed in the past two centuries. Seeing Kvatch rebuilt, visiting the Imperial City after the war with the Aldmeri. That sort of thing.

Also, I'd be happy returning to Morrowind. While wandering around southeast of Riften, I happened upon a gatehouse on the Morrowind border. Got stopped by the Invisible Border Guards, but I'm hoping some DLC will let me pass through that gate.

Definitely interesting, but with such a large user base whom are probably familiar with every single hillock in Cyrodiil we've done it to death. Your idea is definitely interesting but I think we really want new content instead of retreading old paths. Same goes for Morrowind, lets look to the future before retreading the past.

Disregarding the above posts, if my point below has already been mentioned.

-----

Solstheim
--

The region was occupied by the Dunmer, after the Red Year - Vvardenfell sank, and mainland Morrowind recieved considerable damage in the process. Not to mention, the Argonian invasion.

The player will travel to Soltsheim, which is still relativley close to Skyrim, to enable trade between Riften/Winterhold and the Dunmer cities; after the disaster, the Dunmer have settled there for some time. The Isle is, in every way, a mini-Morrowind.

Either Morrowind in its current state or one of the Daedric planes.:)

A lot of people here saying places like Summerset Isle or Elswyr. Not sure how I follow that reasoning, being that these places are entire provinces on the other side of Tamriel. As an expansion they would be a) hard to justify and B) lessening what we can look forward to in any future game.

http://tamrielchronicles.com/assets/EmpireOfTamriel.gif

As you can see, these places are too far away. The will (hopefully) be TES games in their own rights.

I could never finish Shivering Isles. I was bored with it. When a quest would come up, and it was a few minutes walk though this alien landscape, I could not be bothered. It wasn't Tamriel. I LOVED Bloodmoon, however. I would really hope to see another part of our immediate vicinity. I would be very happy to see some Morrowind. It's right on the border and we've been to Vvardenfell so no chance of going back in a future game. But the expansion would, of course, need to be a limited area so unsure how they could keep you contained without invisible walls.

I would love to see the Dragonborn wake up in Liberty City.

Something to do with a Falmer uprising.

Expedition back to Atmora maybe?
With a big section on board ships, there can be some 'events' happen while on board before arrival and then... so on, etc.

This is another good idea.

Same goes for Morrowind, lets look to the future before retreading the past.

The only parts of Morrowind that was featured in the game were Vvardenfell and the city of Mournhold; we still have the entire mainland that we haven't been to.

I don't really mind as long as they bring back some variation of the Thieves guild, or Dark Brotherhood. Some quests were anticlimactic, but the guild sections were brilliantly done and had me caring more about the guilds than the main story quest arc. Maybe that's a weird a thing to say but I don't mind the setting too much as long as the populace is through guilds, owns, etc is interesting, although this might just be due to the fact I'm unfamiliar with the Elder scrolls world at large so I don't really have any good ideas for what would make a cool setting for an expansion.

I want to see Summerset too, but I'd like that more for the next game instead of an expansion. Before I was thinking Orsinium, but last I read that's been destroyed again. Still, somewhere in High Rock could be nice. It's been done before, but old enough that few people would think "been there, done that". A city like Daggerfall or Wayrest, or the Adamantine Tower (would be interesting to see how they'd redo that, since I don't think in Daggerfall they had decided that it was the gods's arrival point in Tamriel yet).

id like to visit the wreckage that is morrowind. since half of its been destroyed since the dawn of 4th era, half a province is the perfect size for a larger DLC (expansion pack as they used to be called) like shivering isles. or at least solthsiem

As long as there is plenty of choice and different paths to take with different outcomes I dont really mind..

Id like to see more from the Thieves guild and DB as they are the reason I play this game.. but not everyone will agree or want to see an entire expansion devoted to either.

Maybe the Dominion will decided now is the time to attack?
