Would be a really relieving change to battle beasties in the middle of the Alik'r Desert instead of forested valleys. Trolls and Bears could still appear in Hammerfell, but next to exclusively to the east, bordering Skyrim. Placing the game before another, by such little time, would be really hard, plothole-wise. It would be really hard if it took place in SKYRIM during that time. HAMMERFELL is a province away. Most of the attention during the Great War was at Cyrodil during this time. Hammerfell is seldom centered on with detail in Skyrim. Nothing said about the Great War and how it ravaged Hammerfell and seperated the province.

Cyrodil? Plotholes.

Skyrim? Plotholes GALORE.

Hammerfell? Fairly open game. As long as the province is seperated and the key battles highlighted, everything else is up to Bethesda to come up with.

High Rock? Not really because of little Great War action.

Other provinces? Not involved in the war at all.
