Maybe I'm dumb, but doesn't that make it the opposite of Middle Earth?

Its not “skyrim” its “not skyrim”

So its not the opposite of middle earth that might be the same as middle earth.

Damnit, I just realised this and came back to say it, only to be 30 seconds too late :)

Exactly what I wanted to say, but was hoping someone else would say for me :P

I'm fairly sure that's exactly what the point is. Middle-Earth is the centre of their world, while Skyrim is the land at the very edge of their world.

Never really looked at the Elder Scrolls world map. Does this mean I can boot up Skyrim and travel due East and eventually wind up at a good game???
