Bethseda more then likely have started developing Elder Scrolls VI, where the next one be located is anyones guess. High Rock, Hammerfell, Morrowind, Cyrodill, and Skyrim have all been used, pretty much the entire northern half of the continent.

What province would you like to see the next Elder Scrolls be set in? Im hoping for Elder Scrolls VI: Black Marsh.

The entirety of Tamriel. Why not? Wouldn't it be awesome for them to combine the past three games and then add all the other stuff? They just need to update it for the new engine. I would love for someone in Sadrith Mora to send me on a quest to Whiterun.

It should be set in the entire map

I think they should go all out on the next one and make it the biggest game ever made.

Would be neat to see all of Tamriel, but that's quite an ambitious goal that would more than likely not be realized. I'm going to go with Summerset Isles.

Summerset + some coast province such as valenwood or blackmarsh. I'd love some ship travelling, pirate style, on open sea.

Yeah, this, though to be honest Skyrim was the one I was wanting to see most of all... so glad they got it right (or at least, as right as I imagined it).

Oh, I would really want to see them make such a huge Elder Scrolls game that contains all of the provinces! Then we can have bets about which of the provinces will be more buggy and broken! I like it!

Elsweyr. A nice change of pace from the snowy mountain ranges of Skyrim and a decent amount of variety throughout the province.

And it's the drug capital of Tamriel, so that would be interesting.

The entire continent of tamriel is WAY too big for one game. Seriously, think about it. All the other ES games and the sizes of another 4 games worth put together. The file size alone would be huge, unless bethesda can really compress it like skyrim. It would still be huge, though.

If not all of it, then Summerset Isle, Valenwood and Elsweyr would be neat as the next Elderscrolls game. Or High Rock and Hammerfell.

The whole of Tamriel would be epic, it'd be so fun to explore the whole thing! I'm sure my PC would happily hold the massive game, maybe not Xbox though...

Elsweyr has both of those. Like I said, it'd be the perfect place for the sixth game.

It's impossible to make the game encompass the entire game world without filling it with 'empty' spaces. The map would be huge, yes, but you would also travel great distances before finding anything fun unless much of the content is procedurally generated or some of the uninteresting parts are removed.

I think it's past time they put more than one continent in the game, since Skyrim is the size of Valenwood and Elsweyr I'd go for those two.

Not the first time I've heard this and it seems like a plan I might just have to do if I ever get through skyrim.

Seriously im like 20 hours in and have done 4 main quests :|

All the viable, interesting places have already been used. People wouldn't be crazy about Elsewyr because of all the cat people. Valenwood is out because wood elves are the joke race of the game. Black Marsh is out because only Argonians can venture there (although Bethesda didn't have much a problem retconning Cyrodil from a jungle to a woodland, so it's not like they couldn't just pretend that Black Marsh isn't supposed to be lethal to non-argonians). Summerset Isles is doable I suppose though and is in all likelihood where the next game will be set with all the talk of the Aldmeri Dominion in Skyrim. If they do repeat an area though I'd really like to see Morrowind done again, but this time the entire province not just Vvardenfell, Solthsteim, and Mournhold. What'd be really cool though is if the next game weren't even set in Tamriel at all but Akavir instead. Granted the place is full of snake people and other creatures that would just make the game nothing but "you shouldn't have come here", but it's worth dreaming about. This is all assuming, of course, that Bethesda doesn't completely reboot the series now that all the Elder Scrolls prophecies have been fulfilled.

I say it's a good chance that it will be Valenwood next. A lot of talk in Skyrim is about how that area is contested. The game is basically setting up that area to be in the next Elder Scrolls game.

Even if they included all of the provinces using Skyrim's scale...I get the impression that the game might still be smaller than Daggerfall. I could be wrong.

The entire continent of tamriel is WAY too big for one game. Seriously, think about it. All the other ES games and the sizes of another 4 games worth put together.kris9031998

Well, not quite - Arena featured every continent, and Daggerfall was larger than the last three games combined.

Anyway...I don't think it's totally impossible to make a game featuring the entirity of Tamriel, but they would have to tone down the graphics, randomly generate the quests, and generally use as many old-school tricks as possible to limit the amount of development and resources required to make the game.

doing the whole place is ambitous and wont be done. not due to tech problems (they wouldnt even need to tone down the graphics. the current engine can deal with anything as big as you want. obhiosuly its not all loaded into ram at once of course...just streamed in in cells) but just due to cost. even with randomly generated quests it would still take 10 years to build all of them (cyrodil needs upgrades and morrowind needs to be done again from scratch) and then properly develop content for all those areas. then theres the testing...oooh boy the testing. just putting everywhere together wouldnt be too bad. its making a proper game out of it that would be the problem. on topic...valenwood.

Yeah, I just looked it up for kicks: Skyrim - ~16 square miles Oblivion - 16 square miles Morrowind - 10 square miles Daggerfall - 63,000 square miles randomly generated emptiness for the most part, but still daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.
