Since TES: O takes place in all of Tamriel, it would be truly amazing if  TES VI (which isn't going to be out for at least another 3 years) would as well. Imagine, all of Tamriel to explore. Not enough memory to save all the crap they'd need on a single system. Just wondering, what do you mean by memory? If you mean RAM, then I'm sure the more modern systems, like the one I'm having built would be able to handle it. 32 GB of RAM should really be enough!

If it's HDD capacity, I recently boutgh a 2 TB HDD for only £100, surely that would be enough? The PC I'm having built will have 4 of them, along with a 500GB SSD.

It will, in all likelihood be another 3 years or more before we see it (if we see it), with the pace that modern computing is moving, who's to say that HDD's aren't up in the Petabyte (1000TB) or even Exabyte (1000000TB) range? And what about RAM? When I started mooching around in computing, about 30 years ago, we were thinking a high end system had 640KB of RAM, we now look at 32GB, who's to say that in the next 3 years we won't see 100GB of RAM?

We have to look to what the systems will be like by the time they are fully developing this game, not what we have now. If that was done by companies, Pong would still be a bestseller! That sounds like an amazingly beastly machine.
