Tamriel Rebuilt

Wyndninja · Post by **Wyndninja** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 7:13 pm

If you guys work on the rest of Tamriel every time a new game comes out how is TES 3 ever going to get finished, i mean i understand you guys working on Oblivion too, but if you start work on the next one when it comes out that adds a couple more years to the TES 3 and 4 projects. Don't you think we should focus? ??? Any Thoughts?

After your finished with Mainland Morrowind, what part of Tamriel is most likely next?

Shouldn't all the new maps have really hard Quests and Creatures, as well as easy ones.

I mean if you've completed Morrowind Mainquest, Bloodmoon and Tribunal, as well as a bunch of side quests you're really powerful.

Wyndninja: You perhaps should ask these questions in the same thread, instead of creating a bunch of useless threads that clutter up the forum.

I may not be the best person to answer, but as you can see, Tamriel rebuilt team is too busy taking care of the current 2 projects (morrowind and oblivion) to start thinking about a future project. When the proper time comes, we'll decide on which to work next.

Our main goal now is progress as much as we can in our projects, and taking them out, to the sun light, completed.

The questions are completely different topics....

Faalen · Post by **Faalen** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 7:39 pm

No, they're not. All three have something to do with the project's future plans. Also, all three of them have been answered numerous times on this forum in various threads. It's best to read existing threads before posting your own to see if you can find the answer to your question.

Also, regardless of their goals, posting numerous new topics back-to-back is usually regarded as spamming, particularly when the thread titles are just punctuation marks. Please be sensitive to and respect the rules of the forums here.

And to answer your question(s), the team works on as much as it can handle as fast as it can handle while maintaining our strict level of quality. Everything else is secondary. We wouldn't start another province if we felt it would dramatically slow the current ones, and we won't plan a future province until the current ones are done.

EDIT: Re: the difficulty question-

We make no assumptions about how far into the game the player is. TR's maps are intended to be as accessible to a level 1 character as they are to a level 50.

I've merged your three topics into one, and then again into one post. Please refrain from spamming in the future.

I guess i kinda rushed into things posting like crazy every time i thought of something. I guess I'll be more careful and pay more attn to regulations and stuff from now on.

daedren · Post by **daedren** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 8:06 pm

Ok, don't worry bout it anymore. Everyone can do something wrong, all it has to be done is to do the right thing from now on

.

You should put something up in your shouwcase. That way, if you're promoted, you'll be able to help the team to get its projects even further to completion and, specially, help them be a proper piece of quality work!
But don't forget to read the guidelines first, as it is a good way for you to don't make some evitable errors

I wish you good luck!

Somehow I get the feeling, Wyndninja, that you're under the impression that our goal is to complete all of Tamriel in every game. Obviously that is such an insane idea you can hardly be thinking that.

But just to be sure: TR's only goals at the moment are to finish Morrowind in TES III and Hammerfell in TES IV. Nothing further is planned or guaranteed. So when Mainland Morrowind is finished, there will be no further additions to TES III. Certainly not a new province.

We wouldn't start another province if we felt it would dramatically slow the current ones, and we won't plan a future province until the current ones are done.

Does this mean you guys will potentialy be skipping doing a province for the Elder scrolls 5 until one of the current provinces is done.(personally I think this would be a good idea)

Faalen · Post by **Faalen** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 10:46 pm

Not really. What it means is that no plans are made until there's a reason to make them. The decision of whether or not to start a province for TESV will be made when TESV is out, and not sooner.

Wyndninja · Post by **Wyndninja** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 1:54 am

You mean you guys aren't gonna be doing all of Tamriel for each game?..... Well..... That makes thing alot more simple.
And yet a strange sense of disappointment sir cums me.

Yeti · Post by **Yeti** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 2:41 am

Building the entire continent of Tamriel for just one game and making it quality work would be a ridiculous task, even for Bethesda to do. Still, even making one province is a tremendous amount of work (especielly for a volunteer team that's spread across the globe)

TR Rocks!

Wow, I can't believe you actually thought that. ^^
That would be a totally senseless endeavor wouldn't it? Doing such an insane amount of work... twice!
Not to mention the fact that the engines can't handle that much land.

And even if it were possible and a team was willing to work half there lives to create it

no one would ever be able to play through the whole thing anyway.

plus by time it would be completed the game it was built for would be several decades (I'm thinking at least 50 years) old.

...and to build the entire continent for one game the TR team would have to recreate areas already made by Betheseda. (They'd have to remake Vvardenfell for an Oblivion based Tamriel and would have to remake Cyrodiil for a Morrowind based Tamriel)

Anyway, don't feel bad for being mistaken Wyndninja. The main page's mission statement isn't completely clear on the subject and it doesn't say anywhere that the team isn't building the continent for one game.

Edit: except in a few forum threads, this one included.

Wyndninja, Its best not to jump to conclusions, especially since you only just joined.

Alot of us are working in and out to bring and build new and current content in the game to new levels of interest.

Anyway one thing to add thats slightly on a different tangent here, we wouldnt be able to create every province of Tamriel (well not easily anyway).
I mean hell the province Valenwood has entire cities within forests that literally move around. I cant even begin to imagine how you'd make that.

but thats irrelivant atm.

Now, by all means, correct me if im wrong here. But would it therfore be accurate to suggest that while NO PLANS WHATSOEVER have been made to do any other provinces for either game other than those already being worked on, that, once the current projects are complete (and only then), will there be any consideration to doing more provinces. Should at that stage further projects be warented, then, esentialy, the skys the limit in terms of posibilities.

If had to chose 1 (and only one) other province i would like to see done it would have to be Skyrim (the fact that i carry the blood of the 'Northmen' is no coincidence - I have a combination of Danish, Dutch and Scotish ancestry).

Yeti · Post by **Yeti** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 4:24 pm

I read somewhere that TES5 might be set in Skyrim.

jonarus_drakus · Post by **jonarus_drakus** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 4:31 pm

Really? I heard from variying sources (both reliable and otherwise) that it would be the Summerset Isles...

Many people seem to be of the impresion that it might be Elswyr, and going by in game rumers during tes4, argonia seems a likely candidate too.

But this is the first time I've heard Skyrim suggested as the setting... Hmm, interesting...

Wherever its set, i expect we will still have a good couple of years before we find out for sure.

Yeti · Post by **Yeti** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 4:39 pm

It was just something I read somewhere and now that I think about it I can't even remember where or when so it probabily isn't important.

However I can't help but feel that Skyrim is the most likely of provinces they would do.

jonarus_drakus · Post by **jonarus_drakus** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 5:00 pm

Now that you mention it, i can see Skyrim as being popularly requested if nothing else, certainly plenty of optortunities for interesting adventures in the 'frozen north'

Well, its cool either way i guess. If Bethesda doesn't maybe TR will, if they do, TR gets to have fun with another province.

Oh well, all in due time...

Stryker · Post by **Stryker** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 5:18 pm

Unless I'm confused, there are alot of rumors going around the official forums, not mention many other places, about it being in Skyrim. And several topics about where you'd like the province to be set, as well. So it doesn't surprise me that you've heard that from somewhere.

milne · Post by **milne** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 8:31 pm

I'm sure that Bethesda registered a game and a bunch of merchandise under the name "Skyrim" a while back and also I'm sure the news on TESNexus was saying something about it being out in 2010.

Lady Nerevar · Post by **Lady Nerevar** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 9:46 pm

the "out in 2010" was a slip by a beth dev in an interview, and, to be specific, it never said that it was going to be released then, just that we would see a new TES game at that time(could be an announcement, etc.).

any and all reputable sources say that its skyrim. there is absolutely no proof/suggestion that it is anywhere else.

jonarus_drakus · Post by **jonarus_drakus** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 6:09 am

Looks like I'm gonna get what i asked for then

But of course, the origional point was the question if anymore than one province would be made. While quite unlikely, there is still the lingering thought: "what if we get Hammerfell done before they release TES5?"

Suffice to say i hope that should that scenario eventuate that we would not just sit on our hands waiting

But as I've said, only time will tell...

Massalinie · Post by **Massalinie** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 7:19 am

Who cares if we never finish the whole damn thing? We'll keep going, province by province, even if each province is made for a different Elder Scrolls game! We mod for fun, because we want to, because we love it and for no other reason. Each part of Tamriel that we release is massive enough that anybody could spend hours upon hours playing it and never get bored, so quit complainin' that it'll never be complete and just enjoy it!

jonarus_drakus · Post by **jonarus_drakus** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 7:26 am

Here here!

I very much agree with u there. Worry about making the current projects the best they can be. Personaly, i dont really need more than one extra province to crush under my iron heel... i mean 'explore' >cough cough<. If in future even more gets done? well sweet, but if that doesnt occure im hardly complaining

Tamriel Rebuilt

?

?

Huh?

Sorry

Uh....
