Would you like to see a playable zone in akavir?

Would you like to see @ZOS develop a playable zone on the continent of Akavir in the future? Please give reasons either way.

themaddaedra

No

I don't want it as i want to keep my hopes for it to be a solo Elder Scrolls game. Not looking forward to see it shrink in ZOS' hands tbh.

WrathOfInnos

Akavir might make an interesting Elder Scrolls 6, since we’ve seen nearly the whole continent now in ESO.

Iccotak

eventually

Cirantille

Yes

Very much

Shadow_Akula

No

I’d like it if we could finish Tamriel first before jumping to another continent.

Nebthet78

Once we are finished with all the Provinces and territories of Tamriel, it would be nice to go to Akavir and develop the lore for that area, in addition to branching off into different planes of Oblivion.

Squidgaurd

Yes

openworld pvp zone what.....what

Salix_alba

that or the maomer homeland after the green lady got through with it

HappyTheCamper

Yes

I’d honestly rather see it as a main title Elder Scrolls game first.

ArchMikem

No

Akavir is so monumentally important and distinct in the Lore it deserves it's own entire game, not as a DLC.

FierceSam

No

For a moment when I read the title I though it read ‘Would you like to see a playable zone in Alik’r?’

I thought, Blimey that’s a bit rough, I know everyone and their mother goes down to Alik’r like it was a free night at the All you can eat diner, but some of that content is quite entertaining.

Then my brain had a quiet word with me....

idk

In case it was not obvious, Zenimax owns the IP for all of TES. In other words a Zenimax company are the only ones that have a chance to make any TES game including one that explores Akavir.

Tryxus

Yes

I wanna see the Tang Mo monkey people

Karmen

No

not yet.
I want all tamriel zones before

TelvanniWizard

Yes

They could draw artwork inspiration from MtG Kamigawa

Kendaric

No

I'd not want it in ESO, but as an offshot of the the normal TES series.

xenowarrior92eb17_ESO

Yes

so we talking about this...lets get the facts straight...1st of all THIS WILL HAPPEN but not before we 1st have ALL the map of Tamriel accessible and frankly I want the mainland 1st then we can go explore the depths of Nirn itself!

myskyrim26

Yes

Yes, but... I remeber some interview where developers told: Tamriel only. On the other hand, I remeber developers told - no Elsweyr, no dragons. Yet here we are - Elsweyr and dragons!

...not exactly.
I said it all before:

Not going to lie when we get a full blown expansion...I hope its to Akavir...

Actually Akavir is too big for expansion size. its a continent in the range of "whole tamriel"!



(Not official maps, but... peoples estimates.)

But...
...we know from the lore about the empires attempted invasion into akavir in the third era (about 600 years in the future of ESO) that there -are- three islands between the continents of Tamriel and Akavir, Esroniet, Yneslea and Cathnoquey, which would obviously be in akaviri hands at this time in the second era, and almost certainly have been the staging areas for the akaviri invasion that gave borth to the Ebonheart Pact ten years before ESO...

...and thus would make a -perfect- zones for a shiny new expansion someday, following our characters there to find out the story behind that invasion, meet the akaviri races and culture (and on occasion, kill them), do loads of questing (there is much that could be stole... uhm... "borrowed" from eastern myth and tales to make some quests with an entirely new feel I reckon), and resolve whatever was behind it before another (which might already be in preperation - it would be nice to have an expansion with a purely -mundane- mainquest plot sometime) kicks off...

Moreso as we have no lore-fixed locations for those islands yet, so they could plausibly be widely different. Start with meeting some friendly Tang Mo traders who might serve as your guides and transportation, visiting the less friendly Ka Po'Tun on the lush tropical southern isle, proceed to meet the Tsaesci on the arid, mountainous middle one, end up dealing with the Kamal preparing for a new invasion on the snowy northern one?

I could totally see that happening as a superb expansion to ESO! Maybe adding some more stuff, like new weapon skill lines... (I really want to see polearms for Tang Mo and "magical martial arts" for an asien fantasy feel!)

Additionally, such an expansion could set the stage for them allowing akaviri races to be unlocked in the crown store too if they choose to... tho I reckon they might want to test the waters before that with a few others...

...and that's still it.
So, no, I don't want an "continent of akavir" expansion, since that would inevitably fall short... but I DO want an "akaviri" themed expansion, covering those three isles!

colossalvoids

No

Without mysteries it's not fun at all.

No dwemer explanation, no akavir nor atmora needed at least with such unimaginative writers and design department we have now in both companies. Have more faith in eso combat team even which is telling.

But it will happen anyway at some point, like it or not.

In case it was not obvious, i did not say Zenimax Media, i said ZOS in particular. Bethesda Game Studios are also part of Zenimax but they are not doing the ESO are they.

Not that i have perfect faith in any Zenimax sub company these days but if we are to get Akavir i'd like it to be made by Bethesda Game Studios as a solo game. Thanks for making me explain a plainly clear opinion.

logarifmik

No

Still plenty zones to create on Tamriel. No need to jump to another continent.

redgreensunset

Other.

Let's fill put Tamriel first, that should take a couple of years at the least. After that or alongside I would like to see more of various Daedric Princes' realms. After that? Let's discuss that when it becomes closer to relevant.

Elsonso

Yes

I would like to, but I don't think we will.

Even doing a portion of this right would be a multi-year project. ZOS likes to carve out little places that they can develop in a few months to a year. My feeling is that they can do this because they are sticking with Tamriel, so they can re-use quite a bit. The introductory Chapter would probably be something much smaller than we are accustomed to. That would not be satisfying.

Even a single province start on that continent needs to be done by someone with a much larger team, and much larger budget, than what ZOS would bring to bear.

Unfortunately, there are just too many other places that Bethesda Game Studios can take Elder Scrolls, so I don't expect them to jump in that direction. At least, not with the Elder Scrolls games.

xclassgaming

No

No. I don't want to ever see it, it would ruin the mystery and it would be probably ruined.

DO NOT EVER SHOW AKAVIR!
