Hopefully someday we will travel all of Nirn!

Gidorick

I hear you all about the payable races thing. Too many would be a bad thing. Some, such as the Dumner should never be in ESO,I acknowledge the Chimer and Snow elves likely fall into that category also. An NPC or two is fine but a playable race? They're would be too many around to make sense, you're right about that.

Other races, like the Sload, just wouldn't make sense for playability. Not unless there were a more svelte Sload body type.

In the end lore IS fallible and if we ever leave Tamriel the gloves pretty much come off, anything can happen. This is said with full acceptance that the odds of the rest of Nirn being opened up are slim to none.

Personally I hope that all future content will have all three factions share the zones so you can meet people outside your own faction. Some could PvP against each other, some could PvE together or whatever. It seemed like after Cadwell's Silver and Gold that it was the plan, but Craglorn didn't show that.

cool...I'm anxious to see what and how this unfolds but at the base of the term or name "unlimited" my first response was that unlimited is directed towards a subscription based game being limited by a pay-wall.

Unlimited = no pay-wall

Your context and ideas are pretty cool tho

fyi Imga & Lilmothiit live in Valenwood, but Zos decided to totally skip em

VictorBrav0

I highly enjoyed your post and agree that we should see at LEAST two or so new regions outside of Tamriel.

Yea, I know. These suggestions took some liberties with localities.

Gidorick

Because of the discussion we had here and the lore that I read I agree that the Chimer shouldn't be included in ESO. It just wouldn't make sense. It would mean that Azura "missed" some of the Chimer.... so I conceptualized a new race. A tree-lizard people that are the ancestors of the Argonians. I'll likely write up more on the idea and post it later.. for now, just this pic: and an update to the OP.

Gidorick

Seeing Orsinium got me excited about what ZOS will do with the rest of Tamriel and what they could possibly do with other parts of Nirn, which got me thinking about this thread.

This is THE most awesome thing I have seen in a long time! Yes yes and yes. I wish I could press Agree, Insightful, and Awesome several times.

Hopefully, if ESO survives another couple of years, we will start to see more of Tamriel, and more of Nirn. This is why I'm still subscribing, as I know that projects like these require funding - and I like to feel that I am contributing (just a little) to a franchise that I wholeheartedly support. And I really really want ESO to expand

ESO's kind of games has lifespan of 10+ year, so theres time. One of the oldies what still exist even today is Anarchy Online for example. Population is the number one issue here, just keep it together and we do just fine.

Gidorick:

your post is so awesome, I can not express it into words !!

hopefully at least some parts will ZOS create!!!

I like the idea of new playable races, why not. Continents of Nirn, that had very few contact, Lore was forgotten, eaten by time. Many thousand years, the continents did not communicate. Only the master magicians could roam Aedric realms in their dreambody and could see also events on Nirn. They foretold a reopening. Great portals on two places of Tamriel were found. By a magical school expeditions, they found portals to the East continent. The new story began. Opening of new places to roam for free.

or maybe some for free as Craglorn and some as paid DLCs.

I actually like the idea that maybe we can take our current characters to the different lands of Nirn, but if a player wants to create a character with the new race they don't get to travel to Tamriel.

I would love to see new areas (especially Akavir) however only if they don't increase the loading screens or other issues of the ones we already have

altemriel

Yes, of course

While this is a very enjoyable fantasy, ESO is not very likely to be allowed to introduce radically new lore to the TES franchise. ESO is a side show that will go down in history as a parenthesis, quite possibly even as an embarrassment, and I would be very surprised if they have any plans for more zones beyond the content we have already seen in late stages of development (Imperial City and Wrothgar). After that, I suspect that all development effort will be spent on new items for the crown store. But we can dream.

If this game fails I blame people like you

I wholeheartedly agree @nimander99 .

Rayste

@Gidorick Thanks for the post. The maps were really cool and insightful.

Gidorick

No problem @Rayste. Now, please know that only Tamriel and Yokuda are actual canonical maps. The rest are just fan designs.

Volkodav

My w"pipedream" is to release Morrowind into this lot along with the original Mournhold and the Bloodmoon set as well.There's so much there to work with. Vvardenfell is still my favorite place.Period.

Gidorick

I truly believe we will get Vvanderfell someday @WhiskeyRiver.AZub17_ESO

Uneed2Stop

Wow nice job dude. These are all amazing concepts! i Honestly am one of the people that LOVE this game and don't really understand the moaners and people that say ZOS doesn't give a *** about this game. I FEEL that that's totally untrue. Just by the quest dialogue and books and little notes i can tell how much heart they actually put into this game. Sure the quest OBJECTIVES could be a little repetitive but its an MMO so that's bound to be the case. The stories behind the quests are actually very deep and emotional and has ties to real world problems, like racism, class seperation, betrayal of trust, harlot ass females who manipulate guys for all that they can get(If you remember those couple of quests ;D). And as far as the multiplayer content goes, I really enjoy it and i dont really understand all the hate. But this is completely irrelevant. Awesome ideas dude.

Kammakazi

It's okay, ESO:TU is on a 10 year plan.

...or was that another game?

Yonkit

Akavir yes, Pyandonea yes, Yokuda, Aldmeris, Atmora, nty.

I like the fact that ESO lore has lots of mystery, I don't have any beef with already pretty developed lore such as Akavir or Pyandonea coming into play but Aldmeris, Atmora & Yokuda no plz. Atmora is also pretty much impossible, no, it is impossible to form any habitat or village or anything to live on, you can't farm, you can't cook, you can't hunt, it's a dead continent, any form of an expedition would have to be located directly on the coast, and have supplies shipped to them daily with coal and wood to keep warm, hell, prolly even magical barriers to keep the wind out.

I always like your ideas Gid but when it comes to this one in particular keep da mystery

As far as the rest of the content you've suggested goes, I'm all for it, except the ones that obviously make no sense, I mean, a playable sload race?

A few of the species you've mentioned as playable are also extinct... Or have evolved into other races. But it'd also ruin the mystery of the lore which is why it's so good, unless of course ZoS wants to drop the whole canon nonsense, then I'd be fine with it, still, playable sloads... What'd they put in your alcohol Gid?

I definitely hope we can get Solstheim and Vvardenfell. Solstheim has actually always been one of my favorite islands to go to since Morrowind. I loved it then in the Bloodmoon expansion, and I loved it in Skyrim with Dragonborn. Solstheim has a lot of character, and I really how we can visit Thirsk mead hall in this ancient era.

I can see an invasion of Akavir maybe at the request of outsider Akavir? The question is why doesn't history remember this? It would need a reason to be lost knowledge. I do think the invasion of the Kamal (Ice demons from Akavir) comes very soon before the war started by Molag Bal, and it makes one wonder if the Kamal are in some way related to Molag bal's invasion from COLDharbor. I could be going out on a limb, but it is a curious situation.
