A game called Oblivion took place primarily in a place called Cyrodiil. A game called Morrowind had an expansion for Solstheim, which was in Skyrim and a game called Daggerfell took place in High Rock... So you know, plenty of options there.

With the exception of Arena, every TES game has taken place on a single continent. Each new game is a new exploration of a piece of tamriel..so I'd expect future TES games to follow suit of the series. Adding DLC to Skyrim that takes you to a new, previously unvisited, continent would break the "flow" so to speak of TES games. At least that's how I see it...and because of that, I'd love to revisit Morrowind and Cyrodiil. If you think about the timelime, it wouldn't be a trip to "the same place you've been before"...sort of. Yes, same area's..but it's been 200 years. In 200 years a lot can change, vvardenfall erupted pretty much changing the face of Morrowind, and cyrodiil not only got messed up by the oblivion crises but the fighting afterwards. I'd love to see a revisit to both area's in their current conditions.

Those examples aren't great paralells (had "Oblivion" been titled "Cyrodill" and had they released "Cyrodill" DLC that took the player back to High Rock then it'd be different ) and Solsthiem isn't in Skyrim just like Greenland isn't in Canada.

Had they called the game "Dragonborn" there'd be more wiggle-room, but it's called Skyrim, and going outside of Skyrim in a Skyrim DLC makes as much sense as an entire episode of CSI: Miami taking place in Toledo, Ohio.

They're not going to retread old territory. I don't know what they have in store for us DLC-wise, but I've got my eye on the 4 square miles of largely undeveloped real estate just below the surface of Skyrim and I'm thinking of a possible invasion.

That's what new games are for, not DLC. DLC is perfect for seeing changes in previous settings and adding new locations in Skyrim.

Do you even know what DLC stands for? Downloadable Content.
If Bethesda releases an expansion and it's available for download then it's DLC. If they make another horse armor and make it available for download - it's DLC.
Saying "I don't want DLC but I want an expansion" is like saying "I don't want to play as a cat so I'll better play as a Khajiit".

How is it different? The naming conventions don't always make sense. Morrowind took place on Vvardenfell, Mournhold and Solstheim. Only two of those places are actually in Morrowind.
Oblivion took place in Cyrodiil and two realms of Oblivion which obviously offered far less content then the province of Cyrodiil.
Daggerfell took place in all of High Rock.

It's entirely possible for a DLC to focus on another area, and if they do then I seriously hope it's an area we've been to before. Because an entire new province in a DLC would just svck. To much content to create in to short a time.

What the base game is called isn't really relevant. Fallout: New Vegas DLC was not confined to Vegas.....

Fine, I'll concede the point, but I still find it highly unlikely that Skyrim DLC will take players back to a region that TES players have seen before.

Look the angry mob is comming around the corner for you for even daring to mention an advancement in technologie... Now i have to run as wel for warning you.

I personaly wouldn't mind going back to the old provinces we've already been to. Alot has changed in 200 years and plus, since the character is dragonborn, that should make him an instant heir to the throne. Sure, he/she isn't part of the Septim dynasty, but the emperors have all been dragonborn (since they were able to wear the amulet of kings, which is only wearable by a dragonborn). In a way, it would be Tiber Septim/St. Alessia's history repeating itself. Killing the Aylieds (also known as heartland high elves, in this case, represented by the Thalmor. Except there shouldn't be a God/Sorceror king like Umaril, just a powerful circle of Altmer mages) and conquering and reuniting the Empire like Tiber Septim (without losing the power of the voice due to an assassination attempt. that would svck too bad.) And I think they should add an epic twist the proves that Talos/Tiber Septim ascended to Godhood. After launching an invasion into Summerset Isle, you do a bunch of crap, and finally capture the High Elven capital. And of course, you have done it with the aid of one of the mages from the ruling circle, as whomever that is has provided you and your Stormcloak or Imperial Army lead by Ulfrim or Tullius with valuable intelligence. So basically you kill of the circle except for that one guy, and then due to your heroism for killing Alduin and destroying the Aldmeri dominion, Akatosh appears. He appears to you , talks to you and thanks you for slaying his evil son (alduin) and also thanks you for preserving mans place in the world, yada yada yada. You are then granted that meteor shower shout that Alduin used, Alduin then vanishes in a cloud of ash and embers and as the ash clears, in his place stand 2 men: one looks young and heroic with a proud look, bearing an amulet with a large read ruby. The other is slightly taller with the same proud and heroic look, yet he is older with rinkles on his face, as that of an old warrior, along with a grey beard. As you may have guessed, the younger man is none other than Martin Septim. he steps forward and says a few words about his sacrifice in Oblivion and hints towards the hero of cyrodiils ascention to daedra lord (he speaks of this with great sadness, as he was hoping to meet him again in death.). He then places the amulet in your hands, then steps back behind the elderly man. The man greets you with a whisper, yet even as he whispers, the ground shakes slightly and a cold wind blows from the north. He then tells you to brace yourself, then shouts at you with the unmistakable power of the voice. Yet this voice is more powerful than that of the greybeards and alduin's himself, and as he shouts your character feels the worst pain he has ever felt. it could be described as a burning sensation throughout the characters body as if the blood itself is boiling. The characters health goes all the way down to one and he is forced on all fours from the pain. The character then feels a comfortable warming sensation from within as light radiates from his body then fades. The elderly man then proclaimes himself as Talos, the ninth divine, and shouts it so loud that it is heard all around the planet. Then in a whisper, he says that you are now of the septim bloodline and vanishes. Whether martin has ascended to divine hood or not is not revealed, though more thank likely he hasn't. that is for the player to decide. so now the pact has been rekindled and you have become one of the Septim bloodline (an no, race does not matter. there is no imperial or nord outrage as your new blood was given to you by talos himself.)

call me crazy but I hope to live long enough to see ALL tamril i a single game

the amount of people who havge been to Vvardenfell or Cyrodiil is so low that they are negligible. Adding in a place like Morrowind wouldn't bother anybody since nobody would know we've been there before.

It's called TES 1: Arena, dude.

If you were still alive in 1994, your prayers have been answered!

I personally would rather see an island in the north.

As for the OPs first post. People wish to see the older games in a newer form. I know I would be interested to see a remade Morrowind with all of that games mechanics with the combat and beauty of Skyrim.

I never played Morrowind as I was just too young when that was out. But I would love to have a DLC there or Cyrodiil because it'd be simpler to revisit it if they have a basis for what is in it. Save completely new territories for TES VI and so on

this


as for the see places we have never seen before leave that to a new TES title would be silly to go to places we have never been it would

A. make it more difficult to come up with new games

B. it would take too long being its just a dlc its time they don't have

they have the landmasses of morrowind and from oblivion. they have mountains from morrowind and the Imperial city from Oblivion its though the invis wall gates to the provinces if your able to use no clip to get though the wall you can see it your self if they arnt planning anything with them why even have them there
