The End of the Empire? Options

[Channler]

Even though in TES:IV our goal (Or the one we know) is place the lost heir on the throne, in doing so ending the flood of monsters from Oblivion. Correct?

Well who here thinks that maybe even finding the heir will not stop the possible collapse of the empire?

I say the empire is doomed after this

I sincerely hope that everything you're saying is false. The Elder Scrolls is Tamriel. Tamriel is Cyrodill, Hammerfell, High Rock, Summerset Isle, Skyrim, Valenwood, Morrowind, Black Marsh, and Ellyswyre. Allowing any of those separate lands to break apart would completely ruin and change The Elder Scrolls lore.

Also, introducing the other continents outside Tamriel would be a big mistake. I'm already a bit weary of the fact that they finally introduced the true oblivion. If Bethesda wanted to make a game based on events outside of Tamriel, sure. But they should make it an Elder Scrolls Adventures game rather than a game fitting into the series of Arena, Daggerfall, and Morrowind, and Oblivion, because those games are and should be all about Tamriel.

As for the subject of another weak Era-- no. Allowing the game's story to be based on minor problems is fine and all (yes, I consider the gates of hell opening and releasing demons around the world to be a minor problem), but making the world a political and environmental mess would ruin the game. In Morrowind, I never did like playing through a baren, burned looking environment. And making the continent of Tamriel a less prosperous, or even chaotic place would ruin the game.


Summary: The Empire will NOT be destroyed, because Bethedsa is a team of people with common sense.
