I'm not really up on Elsweyr lore, but I would imagine that there really isn't a whole lot of diversity there... even less than Skyrim.

Honestly, Eleswyr is the last place I want to go in an Elder Scrolls game. I can't imagine a game full of cat-people selling well either.
No, I'd rather visit Valenwood. An alien place, but familiar at the same time. Tons of interesting lore, and the people are human-esque but still not human.

I believe you need to read up on the lore because if I am not mistaken Elsewyr has desert, savannah, and jungle regions. That seems pretty diverse to me a lot better than Skyrim's boring environment.

A cold race of barbarians simply don't have much in the way of interesting, intellectual, and thought-provoking lore.

Nords are more or less WYSIWYG: What you see is what you get. That to me is just boring as hell.

Now THAT would be awesome! Especially if they tapped into the whole Avatar meme for Valenwood...

Plus I see more of the traditionalist Dunmer, and their far more interesting lore, moving on to these places rather than settling down in the spiritual doldrums of Skyrim.

That is all well and good. But for me, it isn't a racial thing. As I attempted to describe, it is how this translates into lore.

A return to the alien culture of the peoples of Morrowind would be a welcome breath of life into the genre.

If they do valenwood hey would have to bring back climbing. I think they're staying away from the more fantastic locations because they a) want to keep the mystery of these places because theyll never be able top the image of blackarsh, elseweyr or valenwood you've got in your head, they can't program a ladder right now. How are they supposed to make all he crazy things that are supposed to be in the beast races homes? Think skyrims culture and more got pillaged? Wait until they
Make elseweyr.

Yes to this.I hear that valenwood has massive moving tree citys how will beth pull this off I don't even think it's possible on the current hardware.

I'd rather see snowcapped mountains, forests, lakes, tundra, northern lights at night, and of course nords, than deserts full off talking cats.

Valenwood would be great. After reading about the vampires that they have there in Skyrim, I'd love to be able to play as one. I meant diversity in people. I'd imagine that it's mostly Khajiit.

If I'm not mistaken, Elsewyr's cities are usually tradeposts and host a wide variety of races, including orcs. However I believe the cities in the north have those. Regardless, I feel like people are giving the wrong reasons for not wanting Elsewyr

I don't get the fascination with Khajiit or Argonians, and never have. I don't have an active dislike of them, but they've never really been all that interesting to me, so while I'm not against it, I'm in no rush to see Elsweyr or Black Marsh. But I certainly won't be upset when a game is located in one of those provinces.

I personally love Skyrim. The snowy barbaric feel is just awesome. Reminds me of Game Of Thrones like setting (yeah, I went there ) and that's more of the "medieval" I like than Cyrodiil. But you bring up a good point that it is pretty one-dimensional. I don't quite agree with the way the devs went about Skyrim's finer points, but man I just get blazed and explore. It's just a blast. And for an archer, it's actually strangely fitting to me.

But now ES:VI... oh man I hope it's Elsewyr. ANDDDD if it is, they're definitely including Valenwood in the mix. Aren't Valenwood/Elsewyr in a similar war a that Skyrim is in? I can see More Thalmor oppression on the horizon. Not only that, but Elsewyr isn't big enough alone to host an ES game. What better place for an archer than the middle of archer-country? Do some hunting in dense forest, Explore vast deserts and kill threats from afar, all in the same game. I'm vastly looking forward to Elsewyr. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Elsewyr has a strong connection to the moons and tides, does it not? Just a thought, but there could be some GREAT lore out of that region.

Oh and i just remembered that Valenwood has moving communities, right? That could be interesting
