Wait, they're really giving us all of Hammerfell to explore? That shit is huge! If they really do that...and morrowind...Oh hell, that's too much to hope for!.


More likely one area in each province, roughly the size of one of the holds in Skyrim most likely. ~15% more landmass is pretty big tho, around the size of Bloodmoon's Solstheim. So a real expansion pack indeed. 

This does sound a bit like a fanboy wishlist tho with Dragon mounts, new provinces, returning to Morrowind etc.

Indeed, that sounds the most likely scenario, still it would be a really nice expansion pack. Supposedly, they were planning all that stuff (dragon mounts, provinces, etc.) by the time they released the game and even released a video showing some of it, yet I never thought they'd actually release it.

As for returning to Morrowind, that will be a really hard challenge to pull off for Bethesda. Even though Skyrim happens a couple thousand years after the events of Morrowind itself, the land is still largely destroyed by the explosion of Dagoth-Ur (at least that's what it's explained lore-wise).

Vvardenfell is gone but I imagine Blacklight is was mearely damaged so that city and the surrounding area (down to about where the border between Skyrim and Cyrodiil is) would be where the let you go. After all that time any damage would have been repaired. And if we are really lucky purhapse some underwater ruins. 

Or if they want to just teliport you somewhere the area arround Narsis and Fear would be a good spot.

The explosion did only destroy Vvardenfell, but it also covered most of mainland Morrowind in ash. There is still an influx of Dunmers into other provinces in the events of Skyrim which might point that things haven't exactly picked up for Morrowind.

Sounds nice. Hope they're fully-fleshed out and available for all systems. May give me a reason to return to the game!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

but if it is.... O.o

Yeah, that seems like a HUGE amount of work, but I do like the idea of riding a dragon!

To be honest > It cant be better than what the modders for the PC Version did.
Skyrim on PC could be already called TES6

Would love this so, so much, but it sounds like lies. The only way it seems possible is if each area was relatively small. But I have seen Bethesda do magic all the time so I will not rule out hope.

Pure lies. Totally unrealistic to have new landmass for each expansion. It's just not gonna happen.

The land masses of Cyrodiil, Morrowind and Hammerfell, I think they weren't hard to put there is rough distand land. But to fill them with appropriate stuff...

This "leak" is just a fanboy dream.

Would be nice to return to morrowind, feels like the Nerevarine storyline is not finished. Too bad they really destoryed the landmass with the whole eruption and invasion.
