Elder Scrolls 6: 5 Most Likely Locations To Be Revealed At E3 2018

5. Elsweyr & The Black Marsh

Home of the Khajiit and Argonian races respectively, Elsweyr and The Black Marsh are likely too small to ever host their own games. Together, however, they stand a chance

If the two locations were both used in the game, perhaps in a Witcher 3-esque multiple maps way, they would work perfectly together. They have contrasting environments - Elsweyr has a large desert whilst The Black Marsh is - well, a dark and impenetrable marsh. There's also tension surrounding the locations in the lore - both have seceded from the Empire, and Argonians invaded Morrowind during the time of ESV.

The biggest problem with these places hosting the game is how exotic and remote they are - the Khajiit are tribal, so have few large cities, and equally Argonians aren't exactly the most grand and intriguing race in the games when it comes to culture. Bethesda have typically focused on the more human races in both ES and Fallout, so it would be interesting to explore minority races, but the studio has a lot of leg work to do to develop them. They are known to like cats though, so who knows...

So whilst the geography would make for interesting and diverse gameplay, the locations are just a little too exotic and out-of-the-way to be plausible for a game.
