Will we ever get to explore all of it?

Will we ever get to explore all of it?

ESO has all of it

>ESO is canon

It is though.

>inb4 muh lore inconsistencies in a game series rife with constant lore inconsistencies, retcons and dragon breaks

ESO, if you haven't played it by now you're not a true fan of the Elder Scrolls series.

wew lad

Arena

how is the scale of ESO?

does each area compare to their counterparts in Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim or are they significantly smaller or even completely differently shaped?

Games entirely focused on an area with a single biome are dumb. Skyrim's biggest problem was all the fucking snow. Elsweyr and Black Marsh would be just as dumb. Maybe add them together into one game, that would be okay.

GET SHIT ON AHAHAHAHAHAHA

ESO only has part of mainland Morrowind; Vvardenfell isn't in the game

>Riften
>Markarth
>snow

BTFO!!!!
You got bodied nigga

Morrowind was 90% all naturally geographically the same, but it had political geography and cultural geography to separate everything out.

>Elder Scrolls: Tamriel released
>Can visit the entire continent
>Takes ten minutes to run from Daggerfall to Black Marsh
>Provinces have one or two cities
>Each city has four homes and two shops
>Smaller towns consist of one building with a few NPCs walking around it
>Wilderness consists of procedurally generated trees and dungeons

then it clearly doesn't let you explore everything, so why do people keep bringing it up in these threads?

??? Skyrim has like 6 biomes I can think of off the top of my head.

Yet, it was datamined though.

Dumb
IT'S DUMB

There were other colours and such though. Skyrim is snow, snowy mountains, or "That kind of grass that only shows up a week before it snows and no one likes it"

no way the focus on a single area is one of the best parts.

The problem is that cyrodil and skyrim were generic as fuck

Because they haven't played the game? ESO doesn't come close to encompassing all of Tamriel, around 70% of the continent is inaccessible.

I hope one day we will a get a Elder Scrolls game in the scale of the recent ones where the map only spans one city with surrounding wilderness

With the current gamebyo- oops I mean "creative" engine, the game would be just like you described

Elder Scrolls Arena

Is ESO worth playing? It's on sale for $12 bucks.

Yes

>Because they haven't played the game?
>ESO doesn't come close to encompassing all of Tamriel, around 70% of the continent is inaccessible.
>70%

So I guess you're one of them?

It's a massive grindfest to unlock content

Not that user, but I haven't played ESO. How did they deal with locations that already exist in previous games? Are they the same as how they appeared in the other games, or did they make stuff different?

This game takes place in the 2nd Era, like 1000 years before Skyrim or something like that. Landmarks from the previous games, like Anvil's church, are still there,

They're different, they had to make areas like The Rift bigger to make it a zone suitable for a MMO, but you'll recognise the land when you're in it.

Cyrodill and Skyrim are supposed to be generic fantasy. Morrowind was different because its an alien world compared to other provinces. They should just do Black Marsh next.

>if you haven't played it by now you're not a true fan of the Elder Scrolls series
What if I really really really liked skyrim?

...

Nah nigga, that tweet was a transcription error, it's not cannon.

We already did.
In the very first game in the series.

What the fuck are you talking about? Skyrim even had bogs. There's even a quest where a ghost tells you he died frozen because he was being scouted by enemies and he couldn't light a fire because he was in the middle of a valley and the fire would have given him away immediately

>Frozen

SNOW

Why are neo-Sup Forums cucks ignoring these posts?

My country has no snow and we still get temps from 1 to 10 degrees on the winter. Try staying outside at that weather without a proper heating method and coat, you won't last the night

Why doesn't ESO have a trial like virtually every other MMO in existence? Even if it's b2p, I'm not shelling out $60 without trying the shit firsthand.

because its boring

Skyrim had bogs, tundra, slightly chilly fall, and then a bunch of fucking snow. Elsweyr has at least jungles and deserts.

But so are countless other MMOs I've tried, and they all have a level cap or X day free trial. Are the devs really that embarrassed by their game?

>FUCKING

You could go everywhere in Daggerfall and what the fuck is The Elder Scrolls Travels?

Sounds comfy

It just works though.

Is Arena not a thing in the series any more?

They could've done that with the Imperial City. It's supposed to be fuckhuge in the lore, but I doubt they'd revisit it anytime soon thanks to Oblivion.

>Skyrim's biggest problem was all the fucking snow.

Do you honestly believe this, or do you just spout random bullshit? If you actually bothered to not just fast-travel everywhere, you would know that Skyrim actually has wide variety in its terrain and environments.

The series began with Morrowind or Oblivion for them.

Standalone adventures in smaller, focused locations; Redguard, Battlespire etc.

Elder Scrolls games not made by Bethesda.

Sounds fucking awesome, right?

Yes you already can in Arena.

the problem with Arena (and to a degree Daggerfall, too) is, it feels so disconnected from the rest of the series in terms of designs and looks it might as well be something else

also, just because they draw the entire Tamriel on the map in the menu, doesn't change that it wasn't 99% procedurally generated and looked nothing like what you would expect it to look

ESO sets in the secon era, so its canon doesn't matter in the slightest, as with the Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Sorry to upset you, but Arena doesn't have Solstheim, and OP's map does, it's close, but not quite there.

Its still part of the games lore right?

I think it should be remade considering how the modern games are made.

Remake Arena?

There's literally no possible way to make Arena good.

What? Of course there is.
Today's engine and graphics. Morrowind era landscape design and cities. Same plot, and decent side quests.
Games like TW3 have shown it's possible for studios to pull off huge worlds with enough decent content to keep it interesting.

its a mmo with level scaling what do you think

actually it does sound awesome, since the Fallout games not made by Bethesda were pretty awesome

Not even Just Cause 2's world comes close to the size of Arenas

It's not possible in 3D

>Solst
Well then the answer is yes, because you can explore Solstheim (which they made up for Morrowind) in Morrowind, and everything else in Arena

>what is content streaming

god fucking damnit I just want to replay Redguard

No, it doesn't, unless this is all of it to you.

It worked so well for Microsoft did it not?

Solstheim was invented later faggot.

>Is an online-only TES worth playing?
Of course not, retard.

Vvardenfell is not available in ESO? That's dumb.

Where the fuck is battlespire on that map? Is it just a legend or does no one have any clue where the fuck that tower is?

>7.8/10: Too much snow

why is Sup Forums so obsessed with the setting of Todd Howard's shitty D&D campaign?

>2017
>Bethesda still haven't announced a new Scrolls game
Surely we're due for an announcement this year

But they just released Skyrim LE.

I'm talking about loading in parts of the world as you need it, you mongoloid.
Look at Minecraft; though it's procedurally generated, you can have an insanely large world that loads in chunks.
Morrowind had similar technology back in the early 2000s.
