Plus saying that the area has already been used before doesn't really count as Daggerfall had very bland landscape.

Not to mention the fact that Orsinium is actually in a different spot now, between Skyrim and Hammerfell in the Druadach Mountains.

"Orcs, also known as Orsimer, are natives of Orsinium, a small mountain kingdom between Hammerfell and Skyrim. It has been sacked and rebuilt many times."

-Loading Screens (Skyrim) Whne you compare the amount of land mass that those mountains would have, my point still stands, What exactly are you trying to say? I'm saying that due to how small the moutains where the Orcs live are, it wouldn't be big enough for a game, maybe a DLC though. We've been over this in previous comments.

"Well actually the scale of maps can be enlargened anyway Bethesda wants it to, Orsinium could be made the size of TES:V Skyrim or even larger as the games are only limited by their extremely large "lore sizes"."

-Me I see. It might also be kind of bland for the players, only having mountains. Skyrim was supposed to only have mountains. Not really. Scandinavia (which Skyrim is based off) isn't covered head to toe with mountains either. Notice how white and rugged the map terrain looks... Yeah but that's Arena. If that's the case then the Imperial City wouldn't look like the Imperial City.
