Oblivion finished?

Unless they change their minds, this is the last of the expansions. There
might be another DLC plugin, if I remember what I read. I hope they change
their minds and make a werewolf expansion like Bloodmoon for Morrowind,
though.

At what points on the map were you able to enter Valenwood and Elsweyr?

I was down near the mouth of the river that forms the border between Anvil
and Valenwood and I was hunting Nirn root. I swam across the river to check
on the other bank, walked deeper into the woods and just kept running.
Until I came out west of the village of Border Watch.

I was unable to find a hole anywhere along the river. Even swam out the
mouth past the word "Sea" on the map and was still turned back at every
point when I headed east.

Are you sure you didn't; install a mod that removes the borders at some
point?

Don't know what to tell you. Maybe I just got lucky. I never tried it
again, not did I try it from the other direction. There wasn't anything
there - just trees.

Is that even possible? For a mod to add new cells to the map?

rjdriver has borders on.

MJB has borders off.

There are some mods that do change this setting, because they use
areas that would be unreachable otherwise. For instance, the popular
Kumiko Manor uses some cells too far east of Leyawiin to reach if
borders are enabled. It's not that the cells didn't exist before, it's
just that they were set to be unreachable by the line
bBorderRegionsEnabled=1 in your Oblivion.ini file.

I wish I could check my ini file, but I deleted oblivion off my system when
Shivering Isles kept crashing my box. So I probably will be waiting a few
more months (and patches) until I try to install SI and OB again.

But I'm guessing that even if my ini file has borders set off, as you
suggest, the cells I entered when passing through Elshweyr and Valenwood do
exist and were created by Bethesda? So are terrain already available for
another expansion - which was the OP's question to begin with.

Since Dagerfall we have several time passed through a
period,where Bethesda said
'no, no further expansions' only to announce a new
one later. And i would think that
the Elsweyr, Valenwood an Sumurset Island are
tempting, and probably will
result in some type of expansion, big or small,
sometime in the future.
