Which region will come next for TES?

[Mister X]

With FO4 released, one can imagine that the next game by Bethesda will be another Elder Scrolls title.

 

So, my question: If there will be another title, what region do you want to play in, and what region do you expect it to be settled?

You may choose multiple regions if you believe that Bethesda will open borders this time

 

And yes, I've added Skyrim and Morrowind on purpose, there is a chance to be full Tamriel in the next game, or Skyrim 2 (Alduin Strikes Back )

[Guest MonsterFish]

Most people are expecting Argonia/Black Marsh, but I honestly think they might go to Hammerfell

[Guest]

Argonia according to the rumour mill. I'd like it to be High Rock.

 

edit: there's no chance of a Skyrim 2 at all imo, it's not something Bethesda have ever done with TES. 

 

I guess what I really want is Tamriel. Given that we're all still playing Skyrim despite it being a relatively small sandbox, I wish they'd go that route, releasing regions as dlc maybe, but sticking with it as a longer term project. Their propensity for using old engines would need to be put to bed though.

[Anbeegod]

The Argonians are even more xenophobic than the Thalmor, and the wild of Black Marsh is, let's just say, not so safe for ordinary people from races other than Argonians. If Beth manage to release a Black Marsh game they will have to feature deforestation in the Black Marsh and Aldmeri/Imperial invasion to the Argonians' home, or there will only be a handful of non-Argonian NPCs.

We're missing some important information regarding the next series; such as the canon events of the civil war in Skyrim, and the time frame in which ESVI even takes place. For all we know, the stories will say the Dragonborn fought to free Skyrim and took the fight to the Thalmor in their homeland (doubt it, but, who knows) Somebodies going to say that Cyrodil's played out and has nothing interesting to see, but, if it was based during the war, I'd say it'd be very interesting. 

 

I'd like to see Black Marsh because I love the idea of exploring aquatic dungeons and fighting sharks underwater, but, I am pretty sure it'd be Hammerfell or maybe even Summerset Isles.

The canon won't have to contradict with the player's choice. It will only be something like "a civil war occurred in Skyrim, but it was ended very soon." As it's impossible for TESVI to occur in Skyrim, the outcome of the SCW won't affect the story of TESVI for a big deal. The Mede Empire was in its twilight years, victorious in SCW or not, the Medes wouldn't have the strength to influence their own provinces, let alone the other kingdoms, so we can expect that the Medes will not be important in TESVI; whereas the Stormcloaks were absolutely in no shape to invade any neighboring kingdoms, so they wouldn't be a big deal in TESVI even if they won the war.

 

In short, the outcome of the civil war doesn't even matter in TESVI. The best bet would be the Dragonborn Bend Will'ed everyone and disappeared, became a myth.

 

Also, the Dragonborn wouldn't be written as an anti-Thalmor. For all we know, the only absolute thing that the Dragonborn had done against the Dominion was in Diplomatic Immunity, and it's definitely possible that some people's Dragonborns are Thalmor sympathizers.

(doubt it, but, who knows)

 

I know it's likeliness is next to zero, but, I blew up B.O.S in Fallout 3 and yet

that wasn't the canon ending

 

[A Bitter Doggo]

I honestly doubt Black Marsh/Argonia would be a good location to set a TES game. In-game lore says that most travel is by boat.

 

My money is on either Hammerfell or Elsweyr. Though I would prefer Elsweyr or High Rock. Would absolutely hate a game set on the Summerset Isles. No more friggin' High Elves effing the world up, please.   

[Guest]

I think any province under the Aldmeri Dominon is off, as long as the Thalmor in charge.

 

Black marsh also inhabitable everyone expect the argonians.

 

[Istill]

Well, this is interesting idea but after some time we should go with conclusions. First, the war thing dont matter that much... The only thing is the scrolls story, i would say in the trailers for skyrim we got cameos of Oblivion, Morrowind and even we got information on our previous heroes. I bet 6 will be in High rock, or in Akavir where Nerevarine went, i mean rly, What could be better moment for change in scenery i mean akavir can be interesting place to see about we dont know that much... We knot the rest of the provinces from MMO[but well they still can do game there and i hope they will]

But still, My bet is Akavir or High rock.

[spoonsinger]

Probably will be Valenwood, (because people will still have Thalmor issues), but with slightly less subtle politics and intrigue mustered by FO4 and a new system of just one stat - probably called HeMaSta which allows you, at certain times, to press the space key, (or a controller equivalent),  to influence your decisions. All other functions are also controlled by the space key, (or the controller equivalent). However they will manage to bolloxs it up for the PC.

[NickNozownik]

I think it will be Summerset Isles or High Rock. Just a wild guess. Probably not any of the previous regions like Cyrodiil or Morrowind. I hope for Elsweyr because I think it's really interesting and I like Khajiits. Maybe some minor conflicts between them and the Bosmer. Black Marsh would be quite cool, but I think it's too much for Bethesda. They'll turn it into your average every-race-friendly forest with some little swamps here and there.

[Guest MonsterFish]

A lot of people are voting Elsweyr and I'm inclined to agree, but I fucking hope it isn't because I HATE Jungle settings. They're so bland and boring and are just an attempt to fill space. Desert setting might be interesting though, since Elsweyr is much more than Jungle and Rainforest. Shrubs, Savannah and Desert are fine but Jungle Settings are just so boring to me.

[Eth4rlad]

Many fans expect Black Marsh and i would be cool with that, but i personally expect it to be either Hammerfell or High Rock, mostly because i'm a bit cynical about it after seeing the lazyness of Fallout 4.

Making a game in a pretty generic looking medieval european area like High Rock would probably be more appealing to the younger audience that only knows TES from previous generic looking medieval european games, namely Oblivion and Skyrim, also they could reuse a ton of assets.

Unfortunately this.  I'd love to see a game set in the Summerset Isles, Black Marsh, Valenwood, Elswyr, or even aking us back to Morrowind but we are most likely going to get somewhere that has a rather stereotypical medieval fantasy look.

[Captain Cobra]

It'll be in Hammerfell, can't scare people away with non human provinces.

 

I'd like to see mainland Morrowind though.

[Guest Mogie56]

Well with Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire, Morrowind,Oblivion, Skyrim and the all encompassing TES Online out of the way not to mention Legends in 2016 there are still three territories unexplored.

Akavir, Yokuda and Atmora and have as yet to even get much mention. It's unlikely they would revisit areas already done either by game or by expansion. Other then an all out war with the Aldmeri Dominion (of course the Imperials would have to have someone with backbone, and enough troops). I wouldn't mind if it were Akavir but it all depends on just how far they want to stretch "The Elder Scrolls". I would of thought the Online would be the end result for that but who knows. They could start up a whole new franchise..........or not.

The next elder scrolls is supposed to be in black marsh....

DIRECT QUOTE: "While it is possible that Bethesda will choose any of these provinces as the setting of Elder Scrolls 6, it was reported that there's a higher chance that gamers will be introduced to unchartered territory. The remaining four provinces include Summerset Isles, Valenwood, Elsweyr and Black Marsh."

Also another article that I can't find from gamespot. Saying it would most certainly be in Blackmarsh.

Many skeptics saying the game will be called "Argonia" But thats highly doubtful.

 

Honestly I would like to see a TES in the region of Tang Mo or Black Marsh.

[Anbeegod]

I doubt the possibilities of an entire game featuring a beast race, that would be aesthetically unattractive to a great lot of people especially new comers to TES series. Nothing personal or racist, that's just business concern.

 

Elsweyr is more probable than Black Marsh, as there are khajiit subspecies that look human/elf enough. Also, Elsweyr would be the perfect centre for an Aldmeri-Imperial-Argonian political or military conflict, concerning its geographic location.

 

Unless the Dominion or/and the empire are going to occupy a significant portion of the Argonian land, TESVI: Argonia is a nono.

[Nasseliten]

I think it will be summerset isles.

 

Personally I don't mind where it will be.

This.

[ratrace]

A bit OT, but I REALLY hope Bethesda will be moving on to a modern game engine. That is what I care much more about than where the next TES will take place. I'd hate seeing the TES series drowning in mediocrity.

 

Please, Bethesda: Rethink your game design decisions.

Well if that's your thinking then you're going to be disappointed either way. Atm blackmarsh seems to be the most likely likely.

[afa]

The most original thing for TES to do...is to do the thing they haven't done before...GO BACK TO MORROWIND or SKYRIM 2!!!!! Oh man think of the shitstorm it would raise

Would love to see the other continent besides Tamriel, but not likely. The conflict likely wouldn't matter since the setting could easily be another 200 to 300 years after Skyrim.
