I always wanted to play in Skyrim, and now, I'm getting my wish. Other places I would love to explore would be Hammerfell, Black Marsh, and the Summerset isles.

Well before Skyrim was announced I was hoping that Skyrim would be the next installment in the series, but now that it is I guess my next choice would be Summerset Isle for the next Elder Scrolls, not sure that we will get Summerset Isle but that is what I am hoping for. That being said we never really got to see much of mainland Morrowind other than the city of Mournhold, I wonder is it much different than Vvardenfell?

Summurset Isle is the most intriguing, with Black Marsh at a close second.

Hammerfell. The Ra'gada culture is by far the most interesting and unique lore I've come across.

I'd like to play in Black marsh because it sounds very dangerous and unsettling.

I think this poll reappears about every month, in one form or another.

I voted Black Marsh, but Elsweyr would be a close second.

Valenwood, Hammerfell, or Summerset Isles would be fine.

We've seen High Rock, Morrowind, and Cyrodiil

Akavir is probably best kept mysterious until Tamriel is fully explored.

Dead last on my preference lists for the last couple of years is Skyrim, and we're going there.

[ Note: previous polls showed Summerset Isles with a narrow lead over Skyrim, and everything else well behind, but after the announcement of TES V, Skyrim jumped ahead by a mile. Fanboyism at its worst. Now we're seeing a strange interest in Argonia. I don't understand the recent sudden shift, but I can't complain about it. ]

Well, I wanted Skyrim, but we're getting that. My second choice is Morrowind. We haven't seen it all yet. But then again,
Spoiler
it was destroyed.

So I'll go for my third choice, Hammerfell. We've yet to see all of it.
Fourth choice if High Rock. Again, we haven't seen it all. And we saw it in Daggerfall, which was randomly generated, so I don't think that counts. And it shouldn't count either, because if people don't include Arena when it comes to provinces they haven't seen, why include Daggerfall? It was randomly generated too. I'm not even sure they should include Morrowind, we only saw Vvardenfell, it's kind of like saying we've seen Skyrim already because of Dawnstar (the mobile game) or we've seen Hammerfell because of Redguard.

We haven't seen all of Morrowind, but the Tamriel Rebuilt Project is doing a decent job of finishing it, and might even be done before TES VIII releases. Besides, the province is different after the cataclysmic events following the Oblivion Crisis, and the hundreds of years since.

We haven't seen all of Cyrodiil, although the tiny sliver of land around the Imperial City was supposed to represent the entire vast province. The size of the gameworld was about right for just the Imperial Island, not the whole thing. We certainly didn't see any of the legendary Cyrodiilic subterfuge, power-mongering, and political backstabbing beneath the surface, or more than a glimpse of the rich merchant trade, agriculture, and industry that's supposed to support the vast Empire.

Dagerfall was a "stylized" look at High Rock, or at least a major part of it, but the procedurally generated landscapes really didn't do it justice.

Arena was supposed to cover all of Tamriel, but did so in a "primitive" manner that's been superceded or ignored by every game so far.

In short, Bethesda could reasonably justify going back to any of the previous provinces, but I'd rather see them tackle something we haven't experienced yet.

Before Oblivion I have always wanted to play in Cyrodill, The Imperial City sounded very interesting, Especially with White Gold tower
Valenwood + Summerset Isles, I have always wanted to visit them, I hope one of them is the next TES game, and if not, Elsweyr - Moon Sugar and Mane please.

Skyrim because Nords are my favorite race since they're the tallest humans and are cool. Cyrodill would come in second for me because the Imperials are my second favorite. Skyrim is a solidly cool land anyways with dragons and birth sign stones and all. Cyrodill is my second favorite land.

Summerset isle. It seems the mos interesting and the Altmerian architecture would make for a beautiful island, especially as it is in its prime. It has not dilapidated.

Summerset Isle sounds like something out of an epic high fantasy novel...in a fantasy world! Truly though I love all the provinces equally for different reasons, but Summerset Isle is highest on my list to see, followed by Hammerfell, Blackmarsh/Argonia, Elsweyr, and Valenwood in that order.

We can have the next game in Elsweyr! That way we can take control of the continent's skooma trade!

The sugar must flow.

For me it would have to be Valenwood. From the lore it sounds very interesting.
