Will we finally get to play ALL of Tamriel?

BTW: Oblivion didn't include the entirety of Tamriel.

Neither does Skyrim.

Randomly generated mass and stuff is not equal to the TES games we get today, in terms of terrain and the world.

The map itself isn't randomly generated. Just the inconsequential towns you will run across if you don't use the fast travel system.

Oblivion's alternate provinces were randomly generated, so they were unique for every player who crossed the mountains out of Cyrodill. Skyrim has pre-made (or pre-generated?) terrain that is the same for every one who plays Skyrim. That's the difference.

I'm not going to deny how much I would love to see these other places in Skyrim, but it seems as though, besides Cyrodill, none of the other provinces are completely there anyway. High Rock, and Hammerfell are cut off, so is Morrowind, big time. Black Marsh might all be there... But the Altmer, Bosmer, and Khajiit lands were all not even included. If I was traveling in High Rock, I would hate to run into an invisible wall, it would ruin the entire purpose of having that terrain there IMO.

If the game included all of Tamriel I would get bored quick. I don't want to spend hundreds of hours playing the same game it would just get boring after awhile. I don't even spend a hundred hours on the same character.

Fine, not the entirety, but a more complete chunk compared with Oblivion.

Bethesda couldn't milk us for every penny we have that way.

Nope.avi

I hope the next game is the Continent of Akavir. Not only is it smaller than Tamriel and therefore more manageable. But we haven't even heard of these guys much recently. And now that Dragons are in, we should go to there homeland and meet the worlds largest Dragon!
