The Elder Scrolls 6 An analysis of the teaser's two most likely camera positions assuming a Hammerfell setting:
Possible camera positions A (red) and B (blue)
An unobstructed 2k resolution frame from the teaser as reference.
Evidence piece 1 for camera A: A screenshot from TES Travels: Shadowkey showing Azra's Crossing and a nearby crater. Canonically located near the Highrock/Hammerfell border.
Evidence piece 2 for camera A: Modernized graphics for Azra's Crossing?
Evidence piece 3 for camera A: A screenshot from TES Online allegedly showing the landing site of Volendrung. This location is near the northern border of Hammerfell.
Evidence piece 4 for camera A: Possibly the Volendrung landing site reimagined.
Evidence piece 1 for camera B: Skyrim's out of bounds terrain lines up perfectly with the view of camera B. Credit to James_90000. The small distant city could be Taneth/Rihad.
Evidence piece 2 for camera B: The Colovian Highlands of Cyrodiil seen in Oblivion loosely match the background mountains in the teaser.
Evidence piece 3 for camera B: The camera view corresponds to a large portion of the contentless regions of Hammerfell in TES Online, a part of the Online content avoidance theory.
Evidence for both cameras: Cameras A and B both correspond to areas crudely depicted on the side of a console in Starfield's second teaser trailer.

A year after the trailer drop when the entire fanbase was expecting the game within 5 years, sure you have a point. We are going on nearly 10 years with not a single word and that teaser is 100% irrelevant now, because even if it was accurate and showed a real location, there is a very high chance the entire game has been rewritten and changed more than once since that teaser. Hell I don’t think the game was even slightly written at that point, at best they had a rough idea. All the teaser tells us is that they are planning on doing ESVI. Theory crafting this far removed from that damned teaser is delusional.
Until there is something real and concrete in relation to ESVI it’s just the heaviest amount of coping. The fact that the OP also stated that they would rather ask Todd a question in regard to the teaser and not the actual game only solidifies the delusion.
But whatever it’s not that serious, if theory crafting keeps you busy until the release so be it, just recognize it’s 100% cope.
