What I mean by that is, the Skyrim main storyline split into roughly three movies, or maybe just one movie if it could all fit.
Would you watch a Dragonborn live action movie? I definitely would.

Depends if they did it well or not.
Maybe?... The campaign in Skyrim, heck, in any Elder Scrolls for that fact is lazy. All the Elder Scrolls are wicked fun! but the story is pretty average.
If I watched it, it'd be for the action.
To be fair, they can't make the story and cutscenes quite as advanced as they could make it in a movie because they're held back by the games capabilities.
@i_like_swords: That's true, but I'm not talking about such things as cutscenes I mean the actual writing. It's not a badly written story, just lack luster. I will give it up to Oblivion and Skyrim their stories were slightly better than the older games.

I think the dialogue with the Greybeards, Paarthurnax and Alduin was great. The Blades left a lot to be desired, I'll give you that. Still, I think it'd be better in live action.
@i_like_swords: That's a good point. The elder mentors and all that did make things interesting, but they could have done a lot with it. Besides the fact that getting the the Greybeards was a trial, all they really did was finish your Fus Ro Dah spell. It would have been nice if you could go back to them to learn secret fighting styles, spells, long forgotten shouts, and stuff like that.
I agree though, in live action, with a little writing corrections it'd make a great action flick.
Otherwise, it'd be like the new Dredd or Battleship movies.. Wicked awesome because of all the shootouts violence and such but the story in Dredd was literally this:
A judge and his apprentice go to a Megablock, find out a gang is there, take it upon themselves to stop this gang, and do so. <-- that's literally it. No twist, no intricacy, just that. lol.
Still the movie was awesome.

And even that was done better in The Raid
@optimuspalm: Exactly lol.
@omnibeast: I liked Morrowind's story.
Anyway I don't know about a Skyrim story because I have beaten the game about 4 times and the main quest was decent at best (Blades were very underdeveloped) but it had some AMAZING adventures like Blackreach and Sovngarde. I'd still see it because its Elder Scrolls
I would want a movie about the Great War or Talos and his campaigns. Heck they can come up with another story as long as its set in the amazing world of Tamriel (or even Akavir or Atmora) so pretty much it has to be set in the universe of the Elder Scrolls
@vercingetorixthegreat: Oh man a movie about the Great War would have been amazing. This movie could do a lot. It could be about the 200 years b/w the Oblivion timeline and the Skyrim timeline. It could be about the three clans raging war over the land of Tamriel before the empire was yet up. It could do a lot. A movie about the original Mages guild and the banning of Necromancy.
@omnibeast: If they can make 7 Star Wars Movies and 12 Star Trek movies they can probably make 20 Elder scrolls movies haha
@vercingetorixthegreat: Oh I agree completely! They could make a movie for every Elder scrolls game, prequel, guilds, and all that.
Haven't played any of the Elder Scrolls games except that spinoff adventure game called Redguard. Anyone heard of it? I was always under the impression that Elder Scrolls RPGs were more on about open world exploring and less about story.
That's why I've been more of a Baldur's Gate/Dragon Age: Origins fan myself. Not Dragon Age 2. That thing was an abomination.
Back on topic, I'd watch it if IMDb told me it was worth it.
