ADVENTURING IN TAMRIEL

What I want to know is if you can explore areas outside of the EP areas eg im a nord of the EP and i want to explore elsweyr, what is your say free exploring, and have elves running a mock of things in skyrim or spying, or limited to your faction???

you cannot visit the opposing factions areas. so there will be no knife ears running around skyrim...unless you include Dunmer i suppose.

Areas are faction locked sadly. Really hoping they change their mind on that one either before release or shortly after cause it is really immersion breaking in my opinion to not be able to even go to the other areas, but it is what it is.

I will make other characters for exploration and quests for the other factions. I bet most people would too

No you cannot.
question answered.
close now.

there is a thread to discuss this matter.

That's sad..I was really hope I will not need make 3 character to explore map.But I guess thats the price you need pay for mega sever...

Still, IT'S (almost) ADVENTURE TIME!!!

To me, it would be more immersion breaking to have my enemies walking around my homeland helping us out with our problems.

I wish there was some way to be neutral, some people might want to just explore Tamriel but they are faction locked D:.

I can see that but if they are enemies they would be considered hostile and you would be expected to send them packing one way or another. I do get where your coming from though. I find it immersion breaking because I always go for the explorer type and so on so it is strange and breaks my game immersion personally not be free. That is a good point though props personally I would attack on site or something.

If we were allowed to go to other lands we probably wouldn't go there to help. I like the idea of like having smaller battlefields set in different regions so you can experience a little bit of the different lands with your main. I don't want them to be like WoW's battlegrounds though. Maybe like once a week you can invade a small part of the other countries or something. The problem is the borders, does anybody have any clue how the borders between different factions areas work at the moment?

there will be no battlegrounds.
enaugh of this. there is a topic for this. go there.

Oh please. Isn't Black Marsh, Morrowind and Skyrim big enough? Really, they're (probably) the biggest countries in all of Tamriel, except for Cyrodiil thou'.
And Morrowind.. yikes!

Ugh, there are really like 50 threads about this...
YES they are locked.
NO that doesn't mean you cannot explore all of the continent.
Make at least one character for each faction = win!
But, @Xer , Not all of the zones are in. Not all of Vvardenfell is in, and only a mere speck of Black Marsh is playable, though they may add more of it in updates, but still, DC has the least amount of land.
Not that it'll affect PvP in any way, lol.
It would be interesting to be a traveler, but that wouldn't make sense as you still would be attacked on sight by the other zones.
