Oh yay lore talk. Hm, I haven't played the ESO, but I have played Oblivion as well as Skyrim. I haven't seen the cities of Windhelm nor have I see what the ESO riften looks like, but this word about Cyrodil supposibly being a jungle or was supposed to be a jungle? that sounds like utter stupidity to even be considering that, when what I would think about is that the center of the empire, may no longer have a true Dragonborn Emperor like it did before martins death during the Oblivion Crysis, it was still attempting to keep itself held to the center of Tamerial as the leading party, this meaning that Cyrodil wouldnt' end up being turned to jungle it would still keep going some how, and wouldnt' end up being over grown. My thoughts on Riften and Windhelm, hm Windhelm was built or I guess the palace was built by Ysgramor himself and became the seat of the High King for a while, so in that note of course it would at least look relitevly new especially if it was attacked by a group and than rebuilt, only reason for it being run down in Skyrim would be because of the great war and other happenings. As for Riften [as i've said before I haven't played ESO so haven't seen the locations] I would figure it would of looked great and metrapolis style at some point in time, but would end up in it's current state within Skyrim at some point.

Now for the whole case of lore and size of maps and such, to be honest with you, it probably was a bit harder for them to keep to the exact size through the last 3 games and to attempt to match it all up for each game within the series [III, IV, and V] they would have to work on making sure all the area's match the orginal geography of Tamerial it self, so they would have to increase the size of 1 area and probably decrease the size of another just to make it work. Lore as it stands, I've already noticed in some looking on wiki [while trying to look for stuff for skyrim] that some people mentioned in other parts of the series are actually within ESO such as the Arch Mage who supposidly whispered the College of Winterhold into existance Shalidor himself. Lore would infact be a bit different or "enhanced" within ESO, and there is also the fact that I am pretty sure there are a few books somewhere in Skyrim about the time period between Obilivion to Skyrim, in anycase it is the perfect time period to have ESO happen  especially when there is the fun part about laughing at the way the 3 alliances are set up [specially the Aldmeri Dominion which I would figure would or should of actually been all 3 elven races instead of 2 elven races and the Kajitt], but after some thought son it, i realized they were just a bit lazy on the subject and did things the same way they worked on the symbol for the game, each alliance has their cotnents adjecten to eachother making it easier to actually defend eachother.

Well that is my 2 cents on this subject, enjoy replying, or thinking upon my thoughts of this subject.
