Lets imagine for a second that you have just been given control of the elder scrolls seires and have been given the power to choose the setting of the next game. What i'm curious to know is which of the 9 provinces you would choose? (Other than Skyrim, so we don't have another flame war on here.)

For me I would choose Elsweyr. Why? Because I think the desert/jungle landscape would make a great setting for the game to take place. Sort of like the ashlands/swamp lands of morrwind. Also I like the khajiit race the most.


Please no talk of Skyrim here. We all know the game is most likely taking place there and there is no need to dicuss it further.

Err, Cyrodill and morrowind are the only options..

I'd want to go back to the Hammerfell as it was ever-so-briefly presented in Redguard and supplementary materials.

But if I really had my way, we'd be exploring the remnants of Yokuda. Or even better, we'd be getting a game set in Yokuda before its collapse.

fixed i accidently hit enter

I'm not even going to vote because you left out Skyrim. Your poll is stupid.

There's an elseyr mod for Oblivion, (Anequina) and it is pretty awesome. Might want to check that out.

i explained it like 8 times in my post so stop being a whiny [censored]. Learn to read!

:whisper: There's a reason for that. If Skyrim were in the poll, everyone would vote for it, and an actual contest between the other provinces would be impossible. Kinda like why there's Daedric Princes polls that leave out Azura and Sheogorath.

The mindset of gamers these days! He gives you gold, you ask for platinum! He gives you a million, you complain it isn't a billion! It's pathetic.

EDIT: Oh wait, I've been ninja'd. Thrice...
2nd EDIT: Forgot to mention it's pathetic, my bad.

can't, have ps3 and Im done with elder scrolls IV for awhile.

:rofl: o i see what u did there

exactly. The last thing we need on this forum is more people stating the obvious "Umz donts you nos skyrims da knext TES"

WHY IDNT SKYRIMZ ON DAT POLL DER!?!? DUN U NO NUTIN!? :ahhh:

:P

Anyway, I've got to agree with ThatOneGuy, I'd really like to see Yokuda eventually. Talking in terms of the provinces of Tamriel, however, I'd like to see Elsweyr, but only if it's done right. It has a lot of potential, in terms of the politcal climate, the dozens of different Khajiit races we could see, the culture... if they stuck to what they established in lore already, Elsweyr would be an amazing province to have a game in.

As for the people talking about the mod for Oblivion that lets you explore Elsweyr... it's a great mod, but a mod is not the same as an actual game.

Oh, svcks, but at least you know that Elsweyr would be awesome, because it is

Skyrim

Valenwood for me. Tall trees, dence forest. Wood Elves! Come on!

I lol'd.
Valenwood for me.

If it's not Skyrim, then I want it to either be Summerset Ilse or Valenwood. Time to take back lost land from the elves

Voted for Summerset because I want to wage war on those elves.

wow cyrodil, morrowind, and high rock haven't been chosen. Maybe we do have smart people on this forum.

Maybe Summerset Isles. But I prefer Skyrim, anyway.

The only reason I would ever want to see High Rock is to see Orsinium. :shrug:

As for the other two, I would only like to see Cyrodiil again if it somehow becomes drastically altered from Oblivion, and I would only want to see Morrowind if it was in the same game as Black Marsh.

But if you're going to leave out Skyrim, why the hell would you put in Morrowind and Cyrodiil? We just went to those places. Sure, a Hammerfell or Highrock revisit wouldn't be bad, but only because it's been more than 10 years since we've been there. Valenwood has no cities, so it'd be boring. Summerset Isle is supposedly Embargoing all Imperial goods, so there wouldn't be many other people there besides Altmer, and Elswyr and Black Marsh are just awful places to be. Logically, only Skyrim fits the bill.

That's not logically, that's opinionatedly. It has not been deduced by any generally accepted premises that Elsweyr or Black Marsh or Valenwood are awful places to be. Nor does it logically follow that since the Altmer pre-Oblivion Crisis were embargoing Imperial goods that we can't have a game set there in the indeterminate future after the collapse of the Septim Dynasty.

There are some people out there who might like to see a return to Morrowind, perhaps after its catastrophe or even before the War of the First Council.
Further, there may be those out there that would want a return to Cyrodiil to see the changes that have occurred since the Medes took over.
Not saying the above two are likely, but they're options.
And Morrowind and Cyrodiil are not options that are typically saturated with the most responses. Hence why they are there and Skyrim is not.

And Valenwood has no cities...? Have you seen a map of Valenwood? Have you read A Dance in Fire?

If you don't like the poll, then tough luck, I guess. It's already been explained why it is the way it is.

For now. :shrug:

Actually, all provinces succeeded from the Cyrodiilic empire.

But...a lot could happen in 200 years after Oblivion. The books only take place 40 years after, if I remember correctly.
