So, TESO covers all of Tamriel, awesome! That means that I can visit places that I would've loved to visit in Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim, but I couldn't because of the borders. For example. I would love to travel the Khajiiti deserts of Elsweyr, or visit the mighty treetops of Valenwood (I will be the Aldmeri Dominion) but there hasn't been a game about it. So I am very happy about it.

But one thing bugs me, if all of these provinces and cities have been made in one game, what is left for the Single-Player TES titles? No more wondering what province it will be in and anticipating the landscape, because we can just visit it in TESO. So, with this in mind, will that mean that Bethesda will shift their focus from TES to Fallout? Because of this? I know when Starcraft and Warcraft started as Strategy games, and many people loved them, but since World of Warcraft came out, (correct me if I am wrong here) there hasn't been a Warcraft strategy game.

I am not nessecarily saying it will happen with TES, I am just saying that it is very possible to happen.

But I am not just ranting here about it. There obviously are ways around this, that may even improve the series in the long run.

1. They could set the next TES game in Akavir, now, I know this will get alot of flak, because alot of fans want akavir to remain mysterious, and I do too, but you have to admit it would be an interesting spin.

2. They could have major differences in the landscape over the 2000 years between TESO and TESVI, leaving the way open for new and interesting experiences.

3. They could have a major disaster make the face of the world change forever (think WoW cataclysm). Again, I myself am not particularly fond of this idea.

Do you have any ideas they could use?

TL;DR - I am worried that because of TESO covering all of Tamriel might take away from the singleplayer games, and I suggest ways around it.

Well we won't see full provinces, so even if some place like Valenwood is covered in TES:O, it can only be expanded upon in a single player game set there.

Also, TES:O takes place 1000 years before Skyrim, which means it also takes place roughly 800 years before Morrowind and Oblivion, which leaves lotsof time for locations and regions to change.

It has been stated by the developers that ESO will not interfere with future TES titles. Bethesda will still crank out TES games, while Zenimax Online is working on ESO. Also TES:Arena cover all of the Tamriel, but had no overland.
