Sorry but very bitter about the quality of films made from purchased/borrowed/used elsewhere IPs
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

You stay sassy!
besides, all they would have to do is tell the main story of any of the games.

Personally, I'd like to see Guillermo Del Toro direct it
As a young boy in Skyrim, where he learned the ancient art of the Tongues as well as strategies of war from the chieftains there.
His first military victory at the invasion of Old Hrol'dan at the age of 20.
Being summoned up to High Hrothgar by the Greybeards where he was told he would become ruler of all Tamriel, and was taught the secrets of the Voice.
Becoming general of the Colovian Estates under Emperor Cuhlecain.
The battle of Sancre Tor where he battled the combined armies of Skyrim and High Rock, only to have the Skyrim army rally to his side when they saw him use the Thu'um and knew him to be the Son of Skyrim, the Dragonborn!
His attempted assassination by a High Rock Nightblade who managed to slit his throat and kill Emperor Cuhlecain. He could no longer use the Voice, but still commanded his armies with just a whisper.
The Numidium , a 150 foot colossal golem constructed by the Dwemer in the 1st era, which was gifted to Talos by the Tribunal. The Numindium was used to subjugate all of Tamriel, including the neutral Tamrielic royal families, leading to the birth of the Third Empire.
Zurin Arctus, the Battlemage who constructed a control device for the Numidium, was outraged with Talos's and his mad conquest, which in the chaos ended with the device being destroyed and the Numidium lost.
Just get these two guys , a good script writer, and Peter Jackson.

LOTR was a perfect match for him. They hit a home run with that pairing. This was a match made in Heaven. His work on LOTR will be forever be the high point of his career. I give him credit for it.
But, beyond that trilogy, everything he's done has been mediocre at best. His style of direction is what I would term as "tedious" or "overdrawn".
King Kong is the perfect example of what I'm talking about. Even the Hobbit trilogy had some major elements of the same problems.
The main problem of PJ is also, unfortunately, his M.O.: Long, drawn out, never-ending action scenes.
The reason LOTR was largely able to escape this problem was simply that he didn't have the time to devote to each scene, due to the massive amount of content he had to cover.
This is why LOTR was perfect for him -- not because he mastered it, but because it reined him in a bit.
LOTR kept him from being able to ramble on for half an hour in each sequence in a way that his other works were unable to do.
Then again, while I like the ESO games it isn't exactly a masterpiece (and neither are any other computer game worlds I can think of). Turning it into a great movie would be really hard.
If I were PJ I would aquire the license to "The name of the wind" instead, a movie or TV show based on it could blow GoT away. If he really must use a gameworld for a movie then at least pick "Shadowrun" who probably is the best of them.

Unfortunately, 99% of video games have abysmally poor "main stories", unlike the classic piece of literature that the Lotro movies were based on.
Jackson was a good choice back before he made LotR - because he had the passion and will to go through with it. Essentially, he was crazy enough to attempt that project and stay true to the material. With The Hobbit, it was clearly something else. Also, I consider FotR the only true masterpiece from him, and TT/RotK became progressively inferior - even though they're both good films.
The Hobbit movies were pale imitations, full of bad CGI filler action, tasteless slapstick and fart humor. About as far away from Tolkien as you could possibly get - apart from that one excellent theme song in the first movie.
I can't think of any director who would be a good match - because in 9 out of 10 cases, Hollywood will distort and corrupt anything that's actually worthwhile in the source material. It takes a special miracle to sidestep that reality - and a great, passionate director is only one piece of that puzzle. You need a studio willing to hand over creative control AND invest 100+ million dollars at the same time. There's no way the Elder Scrolls franchise would inspire that kind of confidence in a suit.
Warcraft had a chance because of WoW - but the director wasn't given creative control, and the result was much less than it could have been. Even so, I think it could have been a great film if Jones had his way - and I'm still hoping against hope for an extended cut.
But ES? Nah.
LotR shows passion and dedication. Heck I'm one of those who thinks he improved on the books - a rare feat.
The Hobbit OTOH was just a shameless milking of the Tolkien cash cow by all involved.
