A lot of Skyrim's landscape design made me think of Greenland during summer more than anything else, actually. Which is pretty much precisely what I was expecting, besides, once again, The Reach.


Arena (the first Elder Scrolls game) and all pre-Oblivion TES lore claimed that Cyrodiil was a large forest with only one major city (The Imperial City).

Obviously, Bethesda didn't stick to that.

So audience expectations definitely mean nothing to them.


I noticed a lot of people kind of wished that Bethesda made Cyrodill a big jungle.  While that is certainly *different* from the standard RPG, that strikes me as incredibly boring.  No ruins, no vistas, no cities, no diversity, no nothing except trees.


As I mentioned earlier, there are incredibly interesting provinces in Tamriel which Bethesda has not explored before in a single player game (Elsweyr, Valenwood, Black Marsh, and the Summerset Isles).


Well, yeah, because those provinces have something more than trees.  I was interested in perspectives from Oblvion players who felt the landscape in the game was boring and would have preferred if TES did not alter the jungle themed lore.

No ruins in the jungle? I think it offers some pretty awesome opportunities. I would love a world as large as Skyrim wiht tropical jungles.:happy:

Deserts would be interesting as well. Somehow, picturing a Nord in any of those places seems difficult to me but picturing an Argonian or Khajiit in Skyrim, not so much. I vote for Black Marsh or Summerset Isle, like I said before, its either the swamps or the magical island. I'd prefer the swamps though, I wonder, especially since nothing survives in there except for the Argonians themselves and the native life of course.

Perhaps more accurate would be "no ruins that you didn't just bump into that happened to be along the main trail" :wizard:  

Because it's hard to see ancient tombs in this:

or through this:

or amidst these:

I will admit that is interesting and diverse flora, but your field of vision is rather...limited.

I just think jungles sound interesting until you're actually in one and you're playing and seeing just a green blob.  I guess different strokes for different folks.

Yeah could see the forum posts now... "I'm lost in this game and don't know which way I'm facing! Have been wandering for hours, and my character would starve if food was a necessity!"

I'm all for thicker forests (increased the number of rendered trees to the engine limit), but don't need to see a wall of green everywhere I go.

I really like TES VI to be set in the Summerset Isles.  I'd like to see exactly what the most cultured race has to offer and explore the Thalmor angle more.

I'd be cool with Summerset Isles or Elsweyr. Oh, to be a fly on the wall at Bethesda.

I might've been more receptive to Cyrodiil had I not played Morrowind so much beforehand. I was just in love with the original, alien environment of that game. It was a far cry from your usual fantasy fare, which is sort of what Cyrodiil was.

Shivering Isles shook things up quite a bit at least, what with its nutty Alice in Wonderland-ish environment and kick ass MQ. Probably my favorite part of that entire game.

I really loved the snow and the mountains in Skyrim. I don't see how jungle could measure up.

Or both. And Valenwood. All the Dominion turf.

Not likely to happen, but I can dream. :S

It is unbelievable what modders have done with Skyrim. It's almost a completely different game altogether. I'm still overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content on the Nexus... it dwarfs the DA Nexus by far.

I do not know much about Elder Scrolls lore, but is there a land that has great deserts and/or savanna?

Elsweyr and Hammerfell both have deserts.

Indeed. When I first switched from Xbox to PC, I spent more time on the Nexus than the game itself because so much great stuff was just right there, a click away with NMM. :S

I sure would not mind having a TES game taking place in such an area, as long as it has a good mix of both.

That or a tropical jungle.

Elsweyr has jungles as well, I believe... I know Valenwood, the nation next to it, is pretty much a giant jungle.

Yeah it has a lot of mods, however I think sometimes FONV has better mods or at least it has more agressive mods, I guess that probably has to do with the lack of that script limitation that Skyrim has. Still Skyrim has way more than mods than NV.

Marketing  execs will never allow  an  Elder Scrolls to take place in Elsewyr.  The phonetics are all wrong.  Too risky.

Here's the casual fan's  conversation at the water cooler:

John:  "Hey, the new Elder Scrolls game is coming soon."
Mike: "Really?  I  enjoyed Skyrim a few years ago.  So.... where's this one taking place?
John: "Elsewyr"
Mike: "Obviously  lol.  Soo...  Did they say where?"
John:  huh?

I wonder what Elsweyr means anyway, it is Khajiit language after all. Regardless, I think the next game should be somewhere more relevant to the Thalmor so I'd guess its either the Summerset Isle or Hammerfell, since I'm inclined to believe Hammerfell is probably public enemy #1 for the Aldmeri Dominion.

Yeah, I "converted" after a full XBOX 360 playthrough last year and Skyrim was the reason.  I heard all the talk, saw all the screenshots from the PC-ers, and got interested. But I simply could not believe it until I saw it all for myself; and what was available to add to my game. Yes, I spent more time searching Nexus and the Steam WS, than I did playing the game for a long while.  It was as much fun shopping the mods, as playing the game.

It truly is a whole new game and experience, and I can do anything I want to Skyrim!  Besides far better performance, load times, graphic clarity, if I wanted a new companion, or hell, four more companions that I can walk around with, it's now just a click away with NMM and Steam WS.  A nicer looking Whiterun, umpteen storage chests in my Breezehome, get rid of that annoying top step trip, add a palatial estate, craftable Blades Armor, More NPCs, combat mods, or just add more variety in armors and weapons...it's all just shopping it, clicking it, and firing up the game to see if it's what I really want.

Then came New Vegas...then Fallout 3...then Oblivion!

Now, don't get me wrong, I still like my 360 for my multiplayer fix, but I'm PC exclusive for Bethesda's titles...and a few others thanks to Steam...(*cough* ARMA *cough*).

Mod Question: While I do not utilize Followers, I have thought of getting a mod to help with temporary companions. Is there a mod that increases the distance that NPC's will follow? I have not seen this feature listed in AFT or others. Thanks!

There is a follower distance option in AFT... give me a sec and I'll give you the option's name...

Edit:  Ok, found it

  Click on the follower then:  Tweak Options ----> Settings ----->  [X] NPC keeps Distance.

I've never checked that box, so I don't know what kind of distance they keep.  But I'm assuming it's further away than the standard.
