Time for serious post.

I didn't notice that map in the reveal, I didn't notice a lot of things actually, but this is quite a big deal. Morrowind gave us the entire island of Vvardenfell, Summerset gave us the entire Summerset Isle, but now we only get half of Elsweyr. I am in favour of smaller zones giving us better scaled content, but this just seems like a scam.

This is the official page for Elsweyr information: https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/updates/chapter/elsweyr. About halfway down you will see this:



At no point is it suggested we will only visit half of Elsweyr. That map is completely misleading. As for releasing the rest of the region in the future, that sounds silly to me. It looks too large to be a DLC zone, and "Elsweyr 2" would be ridiculous.

I just do not understand why bethesda always has to lie with something
I have no problem with a smaller area, but then they should advertise it properly

Wow looking at elsweyr in the world and figuring how Wrong they have the map of cyrodiil in the game and bravil lol https://i.imgur.com/BdJl0Ca.jpg

Its way too much on the west/North imo and i Will be really curious how they manage it when some south cyrodiil dlc comes in the Future ;D

@martygod12 If Bravil grinds your gears, then you have seen nothing yet! The map is extremely infuriating and inconsistent sometimes. I made a thread about how wrong Eastmarch looks and it's even worse! https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/457050/quick-reminder-that-the-world-map-is-a-mess#latest

Surely the Q4 DLC will be lower part of Elsweyr.

@WeerW3ir Southern Elsweyr is a bit too large to be just another zone DLC. Unless ZOS intentionally split their resources to make the Q4 chapter sized, it probably won't be. And if it is, we can expect both Q2 and Q4 to be lacking in quality and depth (which I doubt they would risk.)

Except if they already had that part in the game since beta. Behind Grahtwood there i some old halfly done place. 😬

@Jolipinator You are absolutely right. That is false advertisement!

When Summerset was announced to be a chapter, I honestly thought they wouldn't add in all of it at once and just give us like half of it (matching Vvardenfell in size on their map). If you compare what we got now, it's only around the size of Auridon despite being depicted as so much larger! It's painfully clear from how much larger Morrowind, Skyrim and Cyrodiil are that ZOS has no sense of scale. The maps of their own creation are tiny. Summerset should have been the size of half Skyrim (Haafingar, Hjaalmarch, Reach, Falkreath) if we look at different maps.

Adding only half of Elsweyr actually makes me hopeful that we will get to see more of our beloved Tamriel instead of theme-park-ish zones.

Figure it this way, if they only do half of Elsweyr then that half can be larger than if they do the entire province. If they gave us the whole thing in one zone then it would be horribly scaled down.

It wouldn't be to scale. Southern Elsweyr is around the same size as Murkmire on the world map.

i actually do hope they split it up, giving Elsweyr the detail it deserves.
Putting it into more zones gives a lot more possibility then a small scaled down "Elsweyr" in one piece.

I dont even care if they sell it as extra dlc, i still prefer it that way (and would have so on Summerset, giving it more detail/place).

Surely this won't be the case. Q2 and Q4 zones revolving around the same region? I don't think so. I doubt we'll get Southern Elsweyr in ESO.

Q4 was already confirmed to have Murkmire-size and Southern Elsweyr is a lot bigger than that.
