Jumping the gun here: will the next ES be a combination

[SpellAndShield]

Isle or a combination of Blackmarsh and Elsweyr? or each province separately?

 

It seems after Skyrim the very limited geography of such places (no mountains, uniform terrain) make them unfit as successor lands?

 

What do you think?

[Iv000]

I really hope for Argonia (aka Black Marsh). If not then Elsweyr.

A combination of the two would be great, though I think both provinces deserve to be a separate game. And being separate would make each more unique.

But the southern lands really don't seem to instill that sense of grandeur and awe that Cyrodill or Skyrim do. I mean, a bunch or swamps or a bunch of forests?

 

I think Sommerset Island could be very interesting if only because you could do a lot of swmming, sea and underwater exploration.

True, but then again we don't know a lot about them, and I'm sure Bethesda can create a unique and exciting land even if its only swamps or a desert.

I'd go for Summerset Isles, but I hate elves. :tongue:

It's not going to be in black marsh. In Skyrim's times black marsh was obliterated by the floating city. Umbriel I think its called?

What do you mean by obliterated? as in it's gone...? :mellow:

Because they know ES games are such a HIT...they will make whichever province they choose seem very geographically exquisite...even if it does no have too many mountains. For instance, in Elswyer, they could add a lot of greenery and small river gorges.

Actually, only Lilmoth was destroyed. Black Marsh is still there (Thankfully)

Here's the last line in the UESP under History of Black Marsh:

 

After the Oblivion Crisis and the beginning of the Fourth Era, Black Marsh seceded from the Empire along with Elsweyr. Morrowind was substantially weakened when the Ministry of Truth became unstable and crashed into Vvardenfell, destroying much of the island. The Argonians of Black Marsh invaded and conquered the crippled Dunmer. In 4E 40, an unknown force known as Umbriel moved over the city of Lilmoth, destroying and killing everything in its path.

Summerset Isle...lots of magic and Architecture...my money is on that.

It'll take place over all of Nirn, all 16 planes of Oblivion, the surface of Masser and Secunda, the Dreamsleeve (or whatever the realm of the Aedra is called), a bunch of new alternate dimensions and realms, AND including time travel so you can visit everywhere at every point in the TES universe's history, with entirely hand-done environments, unique cities, and millions of NPCs. The Radiant Story system will be so heavily developed that there won't even be a main quest: You can just do whatever the hell you want, go wherever the hell you want to go, and the Radiant Story system will dynamically design an epic quest for you to get involved in. The Radiant AI, meanwhile, will be so incredibly well developed that you no longer pick from dialogue options: Instead there will be full voice recognition and you can have an actual conversation with every NPC in the game world. And it'll introduce the new Radiant Experience system: Instead of playing with a controller, the game will plug directly (but non-intrusively) into your senses so you can directly experience every aspect of the game world. Finally, the hardware and software will be given away for free to everyone, everywhere.

 

 

Okay, since nobody can possibly come up with expectations more unrealistic than that, let's remember they probably aren't even thinking about Elder Scrolls 6 right now, and if they are then it's a very irresponsible thing for them to do.
