Reading through the commends, i'm seeing alot of people talking about a game that takes place in all of tamriel,or worse still, all of nirn. This is preposterous. the game, regaurdless of how advanced the system is, it would take far to much memory space. I agree it would be incredible to observe the entire world, to see all the cultures, arms, armor, etc, but it simply will not happen. Even if it were possible to have a game that size with reasonable loading times, Bethesda would not give out that much information at once. It would leave no space for expansion in future games.

I've also read about falmer becoming a playable race. I agree thal this would be awesome, but from a story line standpoint, the soonest that could be out is TES VIII. Think about it. Realistically, they would need another game just to establish the return of the falmer, perhaps a clan of slow elves is discovered hiding out on a small uncharted island, far suth of tamriel, and eventually rejoin society, feeling more accepted. They would also need one more game to wrap up the whole "Aldmeri Dominion Rules the whole world" thing. Either way, I dont think that Future TES games will herald more playable races, as Bethesda already has a solid base of races to select from.

Onto a more relevent topic, I think that TES VI will take place in the summerset Isles, But AFTER a devastating defeat from the rest of tamriel rising to smite the aldmeri dominion, all but perhaps Elswere, because of the whole religious thing where The Aldmeri Dominion claimed to have saved the moons. Anyway, I think the story could start only a few years, maybe five to ten years after the events of skyrim, with the player trapped, prisoner in one of many small aldmeri resitance encampments, who are trying to take back the empire that they built on the backs of, and that crumbled by the hands of the so called "lesser races".The player could be being interrogated by a gaurd under suspicion of being a spy sent by the enemy, when the camp is attacked, in an attempt to rout any remaining Aldmeri forces from the lands. From here, one of two thhings might happen. either the player escaps in yhe chaos, perhaps with the assistance of another prisoner, much like in Skyrim. As for the the civil war in skyrim, the siege of solitude and windhelm occured simultaneously, both Ulfric and Tullius dying in glorious battle. the aldmeri dominion  intervenes, and dominates all of skyrim until they are pushed out by the empire and native nords working together during the great tamrielic uprising.
