I don't know how they can keep avoiding Hammerfell forever, so probably there.

My wish is that it also be somewhere (like High Isle) that had never been in an ES game before. Problem: being a prequel, it's all bound by lore. For example, you can't invade Akavir, since that wasn't done until the 3rd Era.

So I guess it'll have to be a trip through the Crystal Tower to that strange city with the skyscrapers.

It can't be the first time in TES history we saw a new location, they were all new once. But I know what you mean, it's unusual for ESO to feature a location which hasn't been in a previous game, especially if you count Arena. (Arena obviously counts as a TES game but many of the locations don't reflect the lore - even as it was at the time the game was created - due to graphics limitations, so I don't always consider it an accurate representation of the locations.) I'm looking forward to High Isles and I'd like it to be the start of a continuing trend of adding new locations, or ones not seen since Arena.

I'm not sure where I expect us to go next, so I voted for where I'd like to go. I was disappointed that Tenmar was missed out of the Elseweyr release and I'd like to see it.

I think the slice which is missing from the Elseweyr maps might be too small for an expansion, but there's quite a few patches like that around Tamriel and I think it could be interesting to have an expansion which features multiple smaller maps instead of just 1, with a story which takes us around all of them. That could also fit with their plan to deal with smaller scale stories too, a political intrigue or small scale quest story could easily involve the player character travelling around many different locations to complete their quest.

As long as we're not looking for pieces of the Staff of Chaos, which I think is the only thing from TES 1-5 they haven't rehashed in ESO.

Each Chapter has been a centered around a race so far, ones left are Bosmer and Redguard.

The city of Falinesti is my bet, and whatever part of oblivion it ended up in.

OK hear me out, main Chapter for Bosmer is Inside of that cave in greenshade there is a secret bosmer world that could be a whole creative chapter, and the end of year dlc be that khajiit gods realm with falinesti inside it.

Realistic choice would be Hammerfell, since there's SO MUCH of it left open on the game map, and the Redguard are due some content.

Personal choice would be Whiterun Hold. I've been really missing Skyrim and West Skyrim made me super nostalgic. Whiterun Hold and Falkreath Hold are the prettiest locations in Skyrim.

Oregon.



Seriously tho, I'd love to see them do something with a totally diff realm. Perhaps getting us into the Celestial realms?
Or something closer to a primordial plane where everything else grew from? I'm not the biggest lore nerd so IDK if that's feasible.

We have Oblivion and all it's many flavours but so much of it doesn't feel unique like I'd expect.
Like here's an area with lava, and over there, MORE LAVA!
And a giant naga-snake-thing surfing across the lava.
Pointy rocks. Many many pointy rocks (I've gone thru WAY too many pairs of boots and sandals by now TYVM)

However none of it gave me that "Whoa, this is def NOT Nirn." feeling, so it ends up feeling more like Vvardenfell with less trees.

I'm imagining a realm where the normal laws of physics get thrown out the window and few things work the way the Nirn races understand.
Areas with reversed gravity, random elemental effects, pockets of null magic where spells and enchants will not work, corrosive fog that degrades your armour, etc.

There have been attempts made I feel.
Coldharbour isn't bad. You def have to watch your step in places. But TBH I was a bit bummed when nothing exciting or odd happened the first time I stepped into a plasm pool. It really looks like something that would melt your shoes or change your skin colour like you'd just spilled blue toilet cleaner on yourself.

Many sections of Craglorn are fun, Spellscar comes to mind, one of the more awesome areas!

While Fargrave didn't have any wonky physics it did feel different from Nirn cities, I liked that.
Not quite sure why I get that feeling there bcuz there aren't any new strange creatures or anything there. But it's design just LOOKS like an otherworldly city where demi-gods and goddesses would do their weekly shopping. Very cool.

And, maybe they are a small thing, but I love the Deadlands mini-wind spouts that randomly appear in some places. They're largely harmless and I've wasted quite a bit of time jumping into them Small things like that are just scratching the surface of what I'd love to see. You expect it to just be more harmless eye candy and suddenly "hoooly heck I'm in the air!"

I think the design\art teams can def pull it off. There are certainly things I stumble across while zone exploring that made me feel like I was in a fantasy game and not a poke-this-til-it-dies-take-its-stuff game.

Technical limitations may also be a thing too, with some of the ideas I have IDK if the engine is capable of executing it properly. The Celestial crates had some very cool Crown items with FX similar to what I have in mind.

I know High Isle is going to be taking us back to a more, well lets face it, a story not filled with Daedra and lava. I also think I've endured enough Daedra insults and sarcasm for 10 lifetimes. (ISTG if Lyranth shows up I am ignoring her.)
So I am really looking forward to High Isle. Political intrigue and plot-twist hopes are high

But looking to the future is what the thread is about and those are my thoughts.

(I agree with @ZOS_Kevin tho, like sheesh we haven't even gotten to the High Isle launch yet wth guys)

I hope for more black marsh... Murkmire was awesome (quality over quantity). I just hope that one day Argonians (just like Khajiits) will have a full year long story....

... But the reality is that we will get Redguard content, then Wood Elf content... then Imperial content, then again Khajiit content... and Dark Elf content... Argonians will be neglected forever.

Can people ask what's next once we actually have the thing they are wanting to find out what is after.

If your talking about the DLC I would assume they probably have another part of the High Isles island chain that will serve as the DLC location, since most of the main land DC area is filled in on the world map.

As for the next chapter location doubt they would center another Chapter on a place in Skyrim at this point. Other than that I don't know the Elderscrolls world map well enough to point out an interesting place that is likely to be used.

Thras! Thras! Thras!

I'd love more Morrowind, whether its Telvannis or the Sheogorad region (Or maybe they'll finally fix the map and do western Morrowind, after putting Blacklight where it belongs and moving Bleakrock somewhere else...), but its more likely to either be more Hammerfell or Cyrodiil/County Skingrad.

Look, Dunmer content is a hot seller. It just makes business sense.

Are there any clues as to what is happening near the end of this year? The 4th quarter release?

I don't remember where the video is (it might part of a Twitch stream from January), but I think an art lead said that we'd be visiting the Systres through the year. So maybe one or two smaller islands, which presumably differ from High Isle and Amenos.
