I often see people bring up the fact that Cyrodiil was described as a jungle in earlier entries to the series and how they retconned it into the more temperate environment we see in Oblivion. And tbh I have mixed feelings on that. Because on the one hand, I can understand people's disappointment in not seeing the stranger aspects of Tamriel that we got in Morrowind (and in general, I def agree that Bethesda doesn't always do the best job of representing the lore in gameplay). But on the other hand, I'm going to be real, Cyrodiil being a jungle just doesn't make sense to me. Because it's supposed to be the heartland of the empire, and the empire is very clearly meant to be fantasy Romans, so why would their homeland be a dense jungle? Wouldn't the temperate, more Mediterranean climate, be more fitting for them? Not saying that to discount the idea, it's certainly different and it would've been interesting to see how they developed that further if they had continued down that particular path. I'm just saying that it seemed like an odd choice to start with and the Cyrodiil we saw in Oblivion feels more appropriate for the imperial home country. Overall tho, I think it's worth keeping in mind that this series is full of retcons. A lot of aspects of Tamriel looked quite different in the earliest games like Arena and Daggerfall, and really it took some time before the lore started to solidify a little more (I know they gave in-universe justifications for some of these changes, but still).

That said, I do think a fantasy game taking place in a tropical climate would be really interesting and something quite different from the standard fantasy we see that typically pulls from medieval Europe and thus has a comparable climate. That's one thing I greatly appreciate about Morrowind: it's different. The environment is alien, and you can make several comparisons with Dunmer culture, but I think it's safe to say that medieval Europe wasn't among their sources of inspiration. It's for this very reason that I would fucking kill for an Elder Scrolls game that takes place in Elsweyr or maybe Black Marsh. I've heard that the next one (may we see it released in our lifetimes) will be in Hammerfell, but that could be interesting in it's own right. Especially given what we're told about Hammerfell's political situation in Skyrim.

Also while I'm on topic, the Project Cyrodiil mod for Morrowind is fucking amazing, I recommend giving it a look!

Man I hope Wes Johnson is OK.

It fucks me up knowing he's seemingly been in critical condition since last Thursday.

That's so long and the GoFundMe didn't make any mention of improvement since then.

I know he has a wife and three kids.

I hope they're all able to be by his side right now
