There's More to Skyrim Than Skyrim

Just thought of something, this gives Bethesda a reasonable crossover/remake potential as well. Think of it, HD remake of Morrowind with the new engine/physics and/or update of Oblivion as DLC/xpacs. Either way that would be cool, plus perhaps a return to the Shivering Isles and perhaps a little more insight on how Oblivion's main character has been doing as the new Sheogorath.
Que the Tamriel expansion in 3..2..1..
With the main story being to kick the Thalmor out of Tamriel and become the new emperor.
Or hell if your making such a giant game anyway why not an Elder Scrolls MMO titled Tamriel, and keep the Skyrim leveling system. Bethesda isn't going to be able to make the Fallout MMO anytime soon so they should capitalize on TES, and build up MMO experience while they are at it. Unless the whole reason they want to do a Fallout MMO in the first place is to prep for a TES MMO.

My guess would be for some DLC that lets you return to Morrowind and Cyrodill in some sort of capacity.
You'd make all the interiors and dungeons instanced for your party, and reset monthly, keep the towns and world open for PvP.Kopikatsu said:
Wait a second. Follow my reasoning here.
Martin Septim was technically descended from a Dovahkiin (Tiber Septim). Therefore, the Dragonborn are the rightful rulers of the Empire. So maybe the DLC will include the Imperial City. Hell, maybe you get to become Emperor. Lead a coup or something.
I don't know about you guys, but I'd love to see what Cyrodiil looks like.

PvP can never happen. I mean, technically it can, but it shouldn't. It's so horrifically easy to break the combat system that you'd just have a ton of people running around, one shotting everyone else. Not to mention the 3-4 time slowing skills would have to slow the time for everyone playing at the same time in order to work properly...newwiseman said:
Considering just Skyrim was a whole game, all of Tamriel seems a bit much to expect from even two expansions, let alone DLC, but perhaps they will let us travel to just Cyrodiil and Morrowind in an expansion. They already did the inhabitable daedric realm with Shivering Isles, so maybe simply pushing out the invisible wall will be the way a Skyrim expansion will take us? Though as Fasckira said we can't take it for granted these landscapes are there to be travelled to, especially when you consider that from the description they are completely bare and blurry. I can't help wondering if these landscapes were copy-pasted directly from the code of TESIII and TESIV or if they are new creations of Cyrodiil and Morrowind based on the geography lore and the old games.
If the expansion for Skyrim does take place in Cyrodiil and Morrowind, then that seems to make more likely something I've been thinking: TESVI will be set in the Aldmeri Dominion - according to Delphine of the Blades it controls at least 3 out of the 4 provinces yet to be used as a setting for TES (except all-encompassing Arena of course). The next Elder Scrolls might be the first not to be set in the Empire.

No, I think that multiplayer would be cool. It's just that...the game would need to be altered dramatically to accommodate it. (The entire combat/enchant system would need an overhaul for balance, time slowing/stealth skills would probably have to be removed, etc etc). Bethesda has never been good at balance.Dastardly said:
However...it might work if only people you allowed to join you could. If anyone is allowed to join...
The most important thing to keep in mind is 'If given the opportunity, many people will choose to be an asshole.' I can see all of the stealth archers lurking around dungeons, just waiting for someone unsuspecting to approach...
Yeah, getting the real DnD experience with some friends in TES, a game based in a setting kind of based on DnD would be HORRIBLE. I despise such an idea!Blargh McBlargh said:
They said that they wanted their DLC to be freaking huge. Perhaps we're going to New age Cyrodil and Morrowind?
Morrowind isn't that big compared to Skyrim and Cyrodil.
I think it's worth speculating, because that would be bloody impressive if they managed it, and I would 100% definitely cash in to experience that.
I doubt it's for scaling though, even if it was why create two of the zones? Why not just one? And why include landmarks, and why spend days on end sculpting that sort of landscape?
I've used the TES dev tools, and the new dev tools can't be much different from the old ones, it's hard to create any sort of landmass, so creating two entire territories with a reasonable amount of detail that the nobody but modders and console code users will ever see? I very much doubt it. I think there may be a dragon threat elsewhere in Tamriel, would set up the expansion packs or DLC easily.

I think there is a chance of Cyrodiil and Morrowind appearing in expansions since they put quite a bit of backstory into everything that has changed in those regions in the last 200 years (Eruption and Thalmor respectively).
That said, i'd love to see Black Marsh, my character's homeland.
