    @ZOS_GinaBruno can you confirm?
    SCT will not include a traditional buff/debuff tracker, but that is something we're actively working on for a future update. It will display some info when you CC your target, though.

    No, it will just be a small download as part of the patch.

    @Darkheart I would imagine you'd need a new download, but hopefully just specifically the client part of it (inside ~\game\client), which isn't very big; it's the ~\depot and ~\vo_x downloads that take up all the drive space and download usage, and I would imagine they should remain the same.
    Never mind, Gina beat me to it :)

    @petraeus1 yes I saw stuff like that too! I just really want a nice headdress for my Redguard and I think I saw some in there which makes me happy. Or at least something better than the silly helmet Redguards get with their veteran armor!

    I just had another thought though, I don't suppose we have the option to work against the guild if we don't want to choose the thug life?

    @listerjmc I can't help but think we might have with Justice PvP, but since that's been cancelled, I doubt it. I dunno, I remember they also had plans for PvE things for the Enforcers, so there might still be something to do in that regard. Doesn't seem like it from the current announcement though.

    Yeah I'm thinking no based on what I saw, but thought I'd ask! Maybe it's too much of a spoiler to say ;). Either way this should be good fun!

    I had thought it too hard to be true, but if this means that there are daily/regular/just quests in general that sends you around old zones, I am even MORE sold than I was when I saw the trailer!

    The first guy looks like he could be from assassin's creed lol. Looks cool. I'm not in to the camel mount I really need a direwolf to ride. Any idea how big the zone will be compared to other zones? I'm looking forward to the 64 bit client. Cross alliance grouping and all that stuff is cool too.

    They said passive skill line so no new ability or ultimates by the looks of it.

    A new passive skill line exclusive to members of the Thieves Guild
    Players without DLC will not gain access to that skill line? Will these 'exclusive' passive skills break balance? Or it is free DLC available for everyone?
    Only those that have access to the DLC will be able to use the passives. The focus is going to be to improve your toolset as a thief, and won't affect other players.

    Not quite yet, no. What this means is that once you reach VR1, the Silver and Gold alliances will unlock even if you haven't finished the main quest yet, and can progress in any order you'd like.

    Thank you for the clarification. Obviously, not yet means you intend them to scale in the future when vet ranks are removed. FANTASTIC !!!

    64 bit: I doubt that they would increase the hardware requirements! just improves the performance! that would be a pretty bad move to the people who already have bought the game and would need to upgrade their PCs :)

    @ZOS_KaiSchober @ZOS_GinaBruno guys, there is a new skill line mentioned. What about the people, who do not buy this DLC? Will it not cause disbalance for them?

    Or will the new skill line be availiable in the base game patch (also to people who do not buy this DLC)?

    I hope you do not intend to make this game pay to win?

    We're not removing weaving, but improving the animations and responsiveness during combat so you can clearly see an ability's impact. We'll be getting into the details of this in the coming weeks!

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

    no :)
