I agree with this idea, though it needs a better plot, because: 1. If joining the Companions is the main story, then I don't see why you have to make this a "new" game, why not make it an expansion? 2. It is just annoying to think of buying a new Elder Scrolls Game, then when you finish the main story they want you to go and buy the previous installment? That just makes Bethesda seem cheap, they are actually hard working people, trying to bring out the best that they can do, not trying to kill as much "mer" or elves as they can. 3. Our systems probably couldn't handle all of the memory that it would take to go all across Tamriel, it would need to randomly generate the terrain like they did in TES1: Arena, and that only sold around 3000 copies. Basically a lot of changing would need to be done to that idea, such as going only in one certain province.
