Skyrim's Map Contains all of Tamriel

Skyrim is a massive game, both in terms of gameplay time and in terms of pure size. The geographic layout of the nation of Skyrim isn’t the largest map ever conceived, but it’s certainly one of the most detailed and is packed with more activities per square yard than any other game I can think of off the top of my head.


But recently discovered evidence indicates that the province of Skyrim may be just the beginning for this, the fifth game in the Elder Scrolls series.

One savvy 19-year-old gamer has discovered that the entire landmass of Tamriel was actually built into Skyrim. For those that are unfamiliar with the franchise, Skyrim is just one nation in the larger empire of Tamriel – Morrowind and Oblivion are also parts of this empire. What this gamer has figured out is that Bethesda built every part of Tamriel into the map, even though players can currently only access Skyrim itself.


Right now, invisible walls block progress to those other locations. But it’s entirely possible that we’ll see DLC aimed at expanding our character’s travels. After all, Bethesda has to have built the entire landmass for a reason – it could be for DLC, it could be for looks, and it could be for the benefit of modders.


Do you think opening the lands of Tamriel is a good plan for DLC, or would you rather see more Skyrim (the nation)-specific content?

That just sucks. So there is data on the disc you already paid for abd you have to pay a 2nd time to play it.
They are ripping off customers with on disc dlc.

Please explain how empty landmass equals DLC?

do you realize how much data can be put on a BluRay disc? why not put it all on there, so that you don't have to download a massive file for the DLC.

It's not, you've not been completely informed.

You see, they built the land and such, so that it matches the map, but the actual land is non detailed and not solid(you fall through when walking)

They most likely did this as more of a modders' resource.
When they make DLC it will most likely be like the Shivering Isles not an on-continent(Skyri m being an exception) expansion.

I really, really don't think they'll go to Shivering Isles again. I mean, why would they, its been done before...?

I doubt it's on disk DLC. It's probably just empty land, so that if they do decide to expand, there's just a little less work involved.

I don't really see how that works out with the already small Disc space Skyrim has....I find it hard to believe that entire Tammriel fits in that 6GB

OH PLEASE SHUT UP ABOUT THAT! Who cares if it's on the disc or not... I would gladly pay to visit other lands.

or maybe Chris doesn't go out and spend money on full priced shitty games, so that DLC for a game worth playing can be bought instead...

Not Morrowind and Oblivion but Morrowind and Cyrodill are parts of the Empire. Oblivion is something like hell of TES world.

Oblivion is like an alternate realm for Daedric princes, I believe Shivering Isles is a plain of Oblivion.

The hellish one is Mehrune Dagon's Oblivion real I think.

You're right about Cyrodiil though, shouldn't have said Oblivion and Morrowind.

If this is true, it would be the same on the P.C version. So why don't people just use the command line and type in 'TCL' and just walk through that wall...

It isn't on-disc DLC. If anything it is purely for drawdistance/as a modders resource. Bethesda never does on-disc DLC save for pre-order bonus content.

Why? Lets see, because they release modding tools making the on-disc DLC *pointless* as people would be able to legitimately unlock it using the modding tools.

If it is for future DLC, then what's the big deal? You were not EXPECTING it. So why should you be disappointed? Be happy that Bethesda have made a game that lives up to expections.

# Why complain?Higgman2327 2011-11-25 01:12
I understand the misconception that Cyrodiil is Oblivion because of TES IV's title but when its clearly marked on the map you posted, there isnt much of an excuse.

Anyways, why are people complaining about the land mass already being in the game? Its not like they have EVERYTHING on the disc and are trying to sell it later (like lionhead with Fable 3). Everyone seems to think that.

The land "mass" on the disc is probably mountains and crap near skyrim(aestheti c reasons) and past that is probably endless trees and shrubbery like outside of cyrodiil's map in Oblivion.

Bethesda is only going to make one or two DLC's that are actually substantial so that you can get your money's worth. If you don't like it then don't freaking buy it.

Look things up before you complain about it. This is not an on disc DLC, its probaly just there incase they ever decide to do anything with it. It can't be there for modders unless they had a bunch of time on there hands because re-creating a province would take a very long time. There isn't even texture really further out into the map, you cant even stand on the ground.
