The new elder scrolls taking place in Skyrim disappoint anyo

Post » Mon Jul 09, 2012 3:07 pm

When I heard about it I was a bit sad.
Even more so after reading about the great war, especially Hammerfell or Morrowind.
Hammerfell you have a amazing race which isn't even from Tamriel, and it accomplishes what the Stormcloaks are trying to do before the dragonborn events even take place.
The Redguards lose Talos like the Nords but they also are on the verge of losing a large part of their country to the Thalmor. They refuse the white gold concordant, The Empire takes them off their list of provinces, The Thalmor try and keep Hammerfell anyway but to their dismay find a very pissed off race of excellent warriors refusing it all and kicking their butts. Forcing the Aldmeri Dominion to a stalemate.
The world is looking at Skyrim because some nords decided to shout at a king and rebel, what about Hammerfell? If you ask me it leaves a very interesting storyline to be mined.
And morrowind could contain a wonderful expansion pack back into the lands we loved to play as the nerevarine(who in my opinion was more interesting than the dragonborn could ever hope to be) and that whole land is now totally changed.

Not me. It's my favorite region in the Elder Scrolls series so far.

Being a Nord I loved it but out of all the TES game regions I have played this one is the best.

They may do game where it takes place in Hmmerfell unless the game redguard counts for hammerfell.

I never really played as a nord and I guess them being the default race now I wont ever.
The Redguard seem very interesting, people often think they are more african but in reality they are a very Arab/Berber based society for sure.
Not just from how they appear in Skyrim but if you read about their history and hammerfell itself. The Thalmor probably hate fighting in a huge desert as much as a frozen wasteland.

It didn't disappoint me. I was looking forward to it. I still want to go to High Rock or Hammerfell though.

I have spent very little time in oblivion, but I prefer the smaller, more Nordic regions of skyrim. It also a nice change of pace after I spent a lot of time in FO3. The cities in oblivion were too big for my tastes. I like skyrim because its a balance between the bleak setting of FO3 and the big cities in oblivion

Yes me too, High Rock seems like it would look alot like Wales and France and stuff like that, which I prefer over a frozen tundra anyday.
I like their feudal courts the bretons got going on

There was already a game set in Hammerfell. That's the way the cookie crumbles. I love the Nords and love Norse culture so TES is all downhill from her as far as I'm concerned. :D

Skyrim is my second favorite region aside from, trumped only by Vvardenfell.

The new elder scrolls taking place in Skyrim disappoint anyone else?

Nope. Don't really pay attention to the lore outside the games, so any region is new to me. It's all good.

No where near disappointed. In real life, I've barely seen snow before. Living in a hot suburb area where having even an inch of snow is luck, I love Skyrim. One of my favorite countries in TES.

I'm afraid the next one is going to be in Elsweyr or Black Marsh and the profusion of tails is going to be creepy in the extreme. :(

I am really enjoying the the land of Skyrim.

However, I would like to see the next TES set in Black Marsh, Elsweyr, or Summerset Isles and have a really exotic, foreign kind of vibe (like Morrowind had).

We've already been to Hammerfell twice - excluding Arena - in the games Redguard and Daggerfall. We've already been to Morrowind. If we had to repeat provinces every time something happened to them in lore, then we'd be visiting the same province over and over. No, I'd rather visit a new province than go back to the same old places.

This is what I miss from Morrowind.. just that feeling of being so different. Oblivion held onto it a little bit, but Skyrim has totally lost it. I love Skyrim, just not like Morrowind or Oblivion.

Skyrim by far is my favorite province, and nords my favorite race. Love the norse feel the nords have.

Tes V: Skyrim by far is one of my favorite elder scrolls game
viking-like people? check
Huge mountains? Check
lots of snow? check
amazing norse inspired architecture? check
Dragons? Check

It's like viking heaven XD

Oblivion is your standard twee fairytale forest landscape. :blink: There were some pretty coastal areas but it was completely bland.

That's also the trouble with TESV- it's not the Nords, it's that their native culture has changed into imperial culture = boring. If they were as rowdy and wild as they once were, with the old Nord pantheon and native folkways, that would've been awesome. But since people complain already about Ulfric being barbaric or the Nords being "racist," people obviously like boring imperial culture better and Beth goes for the mainstream.

Thats what I'm counting on :wink:
And no I wasn't disappointed that the game was taking place in Skyrim, I was just happy that I would get to play another Elder Scrolls :tes:

It's not my favorite locale in Tamriel but it's alright. I was hoping for either Valenwood or Summerset Isles before Skyrim was announced though, and would still like to see one of those as the next TES so we can start bringing the fight to the Thalmor. I find it cool that Todd has expressed an interest in doing High Rock again though, that's another place I'd like to see, despite it being in TES: Daggerfall.
