More continents other than tamriel?

Post by Jah92 »

Something I was thinking about.

I do not see Pyandonea on the map. I also looked at other races and some only say where they are from.

My question is, The elder scrolls series only focusing on Tamriel?

I'll direct you to this thread for info, particularly to my first post. I put a lot of effort into that post.

I don't quite get your question, but in answer to what I believe it to be, yes, the main TES series only focuses on Tamriel, and I'll bet it will remain that way for a fair while, despite people wanting Akavir.

I see no reason why the series shouldn't focus on Tamriel, at least for the time being. Tamriel is still far from having run it's course - each province deserves a game of it's own, plus I think many people would like to see new versions of High Rock and Morrowind (at least I would).

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Akavir. But it's something that's so much speculated, hyped and hoped upon that I don't see any way a game set in Akavir would meet the very high expectations most of us put on it. And that's without taking into account the fact that Akavir is such an alien land (at least if Mysterious Akavir is taken as even mostly factual) that it'd make Morrowind and Shivering Isles combined look like a walk in the park. I'm torn between whether I'd envy or pity the designers who'd be in charge of bringing to life something that could only be described as Vvardenfell and Shivering Isles' child on LSD.

Whew, got on a rant there, sorry :).

That, and I can imagine the crying of "WEEABOO!!" at a game based on a continent based in just about every asian culture. :roll:
If they weren't nords, but instead dunmer or redguards, nobody would call them "racist".
