    HYPE!

    Edit: since this is a discussion thread! I'm really glad to see we're getting more world bosses, the new ones are a lot of fun. I imagine they'll be even more fun when the population spreads out a bit. It's casual group content that has me run around in Wrothgar after 'having done it all'.

    I'm also super excited about the 'new criminal activities'! And passive skill line? Didn't see that coming! What passive stuff could you possibly have in store that isn't already in Legerdemain? Super pumped.

    What? I figured it was coming but now? No more Silver and Gold! Explore at will. Does this mean they have already completed the conversion of these zones to "battle leveled" zones?

    @ZOS_GinaBruno Will this increase performance demand on the hardware? Will we need to upgrade our PCs?

    Will it include a DPS meter and buff tracker and improved character sheet information?

    Thank you so much for this! A welcome addition for roleplayers and altaholics. Will it scale like Orsinium?

    Does it mean animation cancelling will be gone?

    This kind of bothers me a little. If it screws up my ransack animation cancelling I'm going back to wrecking blow, and I don't want to

    First people cry about NB's doing massive damage from stealth, which is mostly due to animation cancelling, and then they don't want a nerf for their animation cancelling.

    I am glad removing weaving from game. Stupid unintended mechanism. Nobody should be able to cancel an animation for an attack. Might aswell remove all animations and make damage instant.

    Anyway, this DLC looks great. I can hear the crying about NB's can thieveguild better because they can cloak. I really look forward to the thieves guild. I do hope members of a thievesguild will be in negative with fightersguild and mageguild (ie more build diversity by choosing a guild skill line)

    And if cyrodill also participates in thieving activities it would be awesome. So far justice is not server there (and plz tell us how the lag is after this update)

    Looking forward to it and probably throwing money at it.

    It kinda sounds like you're nerfing animation cancelling considering that is the practice of.. cancelling animations. I'm sweating right now @ZOS_GinaBruno
