I think they [Bethesda] would want to make a standalone expansion or perhaps an entirely new Elder Scrolls game if they moved to Hammerfell. Solstheim still fit in with Skyrim's environment with the snowy areas in the north. I'm having trouble imagining a hulking warrior in heavy metallic armour trying to drag his way through the blistering heat of a desert. I don't think it woud fit in with Skyrim lore-wise. [Note: I said 'Skyrim', not 'TES as a whole'.]

Although it would be neat if their next installment was based there. They could have a huge variety of environments, from coastal Jungles to sandy dunes, and everything inbetween and beyond. If I recall correctly they already made a TES installment based in Hamerfell, but that was a long time ago.
