Or it could merely be a tech demo or some other form of material that is absolutely irrelevant to Elder Scrolls 6. It could be a strong cue for Elder Scrolls 6 encompassing multiple geographical regions on Tamriel's large map, from the desert landscapes of Elsweyr, to the rocky mountains of High Rock. Located in the north west of Tamriel, High Rock does have the variety to potentially showcase what appears in the trailer, with mountainous areas alongside a coastline and greenlands. On the contrary, it is important to read into this in a nuanced manner. One is High Rock, the home of the magic-based Bretons. This type of geography would be very foreign to areas such as Hammerfell and High Rock. Hes a wood elf - the Thalmor wiped out his family back in Valenwood during one of their purges that we never hear about.' So this line right here to me says The Elder Scrolls 6 will be in Valenwood. On the computer monitor in which he is demonstrating this technology, both graphical and real-life geographical images of gigantic rocks resembling those in a desert setting are shown.

Both of these provinces appeared in 1996's The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall, so it would certainly be interesting for the main series to revisit them again in HD. He demonstrates the photogrammetry technology being used for the game's development. Screen Rant's analysis of the initial teaser found Hammerfell and High Rock to be The Elder Scrolls 6's most likely locations, based on the landscape and architecture shown in the trailer. Even Bethesdas next major game, Starfield, isnt coming out until late 2022, so theres still going to be quite a wait for The Elder Scrolls 6.

In Bethesda's video celebrating 25 years of The Elder Scrolls, there is some interesting video footage showcasing an interview with Elder Scrolls 6's Art Director, Matt Carofano. Will Elder Scrolls 6 be in Hammerfell Bethesda has hinted at Hammerfell potentially being the location of The Elder Scrolls 6, meaning players would be exploring the home of the Redguards. It would seem that photogrammetry presents the best of both worlds, creating gigantic sized maps that look unique throughout, with a development timeframe that is viable. The other method is to hand-draw the map, but that can be very time consuming and difficult as the size of the map becomes large. As many will know, an Elder Scrolls game is entirely tied to the location it is primarily set within, in terms of the plot and factions that feature. This is different than the previous methods used in many open world games where an algorithm generates the geographical land mass spread throughout a game's setting, by which this method is more vulnerable to geographical repetition as the setting increases. High Rock being the smallest Provence I truly think it should be tied to Hammerfell because it would be more in line to what hopes are for TES 6. I would love to experience and Explore both however I believe High Rock would be to small for its own game. Perhaps the very definition of the word, photogrammetry, summarizes this technology best: "the process of making surveys and maps through the use of photographs, especially aerial photographs." For the Elder Scrolls 6 I hope that both Hammerfell and High Rock are the location. Those familiar with this technology have clarified that it allows developers to quickly create large swaths of graphical 3D mass, with each area being particularly unique to the real-life geography or object it is scanned from. Bethesdas Elder Scrolls series has been dormant for almost a decade, and fans only have a few details about The Elder Scrolls 6 to make the wait more bearable. Whether or not fans will get confirmation any time soon, however, remains to be seen.Bethesda revealed that The Elder Scrolls 6 would utilize photogrammetry technology to scan in real life geography and objects. Still, The Elder Scrolls 6 is in the works at Bethesda and one of the most interesting prospects right now for many is where the game will be set. Of all the settings speculated to have been chosen for The Elder Scrolls 6, Hammerfell still arguably remains the most likely. Hammerfell is a geographically diverse area with everything from pirate ports to extensive Dwemer ruins. Like the northern province, Hammerfell's relationship with the peace established between the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion is particularly fraught, and it was released as an Imperial province. The region also has connections to Skyrim's story. An image released by Bethesda earlier this year even showed a light over Hammerfell, only making speculation more intense. It is a human province, making it accessible and easier to market. Huge central parts of the province have been left untouched by the MMO and its expansions so far. The Redguard province avoids almost every pitfall the other possible locations fall into. Hammerfell is one of the toughest Elder Scrolls 6 settings to argue against, and has been a frontrunner in the minds of many fans since the sixth game's announcement.
