Both are very unlikely and probably will never happen but if you had to choose between a live action film
or a Japanese anime set in Tamriel which would you choose?

Eww, I don't really know. Hrm....I'll...say....Live Action

Anime. At least with anime the graphics can be made to look a bit like the games, but with live action you have to use CGI for the non-humans and all the creatures so it'll just look ridiculous.

I would rather die than have a TES anime.

Both options seem to fall into the 'less than desirable' spectrum.. However, if I had to choose between the two I'd go with live-action. At least with live-action there's a chance it might be done as well as The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I just can't see an anime working very well, at least not with the characteristics of many animes.

You and I are thinking alike right here. I like you.

It's easier to make good anime than it is to make good live-action. It's very, very easy to make atrocious live-action. Of course, they could make good live action if they really wanted to devote the money to it, but it's cheaper to make good anime.

An anime of eleven episodes depicting the lives of the Dunmer saints. That's all.

ONLY if it was done in the style that was done with Batman before the newest one came out.

Neither, a series done by the studio that created Avatar: The Last Airbender. If anyone could do justice to a rather odd land, it would have to be a group of people that have duck turtles and a saber toothed moose.

What about a bear?

The live action, to be sure. Anime can't do fantasy right.

Well, one thing is for sure, TES does not scream anime, at all. At. All. It just wouldn't even make sense as an anime.
A live action film, although not really any more desirable, would work if it was done correctly, and had a lot of cash put into it, like Lord of the Rings, as stated. I might dig that. But anything with a low budget would just be atrocious.

Live action, but only if it was Avatar James Cameron style.

if LotR is any indication of what TES would be like as an LA film; I'd go with an anime

Live action all the way. Anime isn'y my thing.

For the love of god anything but an anime

Both sound terrible. But live action sounds best.

A tough choice. I'm going to say anime for right now, but I reserve the right to change my mind at a future date.

i am for the separation of film and video games....they're both perfectly legitimate art forms as they are, yet i see no end to the cross-overs (all of which are terrible)

Live action film.
Maybe based on the Infernal City? Or on 2920, The last year of the first Era?
But not on one of the games!

Live action with lots of CGI.

The story of Barenziah, perhaps?

Live action I guess, but neither is a good idea IMO

I think anime. A live action would need so much animation as to not be live action anymore anyhow. Honestly, watch either the Tales of Symphonia or Tales of Phantasia anime adaptations admittedly both were JRPGs with an anime-esque art style, but still great fantasy animes. he trype of stories I would suggest are:

Infernal City adaptation
Redguard ataptation
King Edward adaptation
Original story

And honestly, what's with this pervasive fallacy that a particular animation style means that a story can't possibly be good? The range of potential quality for anime and live action in general is equal, and since a "live action" TES wouldn't really be live action at all if it were to be able to visually represent the series accurately. In fact, I would prefer any sort of non-video game visual medium adaptation of TES to be anime. The visual style just seems to click in my mind.

Live action. Anime (in most cases) fails.
