It would be great if we could get some Daedric Shrines and associated questlines added to the world… and with meaningful rewards themed to their Prince.

Considering that the quality of recent years' writing has been not nearly up to the standard of the base game and especially early DLCs, I think it might be a good decision on the part of the writers to stay away from Princes which have not already been flanderised.

I cannot imagine them writing Malacath well. It would probably be turned into a joke, like Sheo, and to a lesser extent Sanguine, have been.

I have always wished to see Azura's realm, but considering how poorly things have gone, I think it best if they stay away from it. I am fairly certain what I picture in my mind is far superior to whatever the current iteration of ZOS might accomplish. It is a shame and I would of course love to be proven wrong.

Except for Summerset depiction, I was never disappointed by ESO's art team. Why so skeptic? I can't count Aporcypha and Deadlands fully, because there were adaptations (still, much better than originals), but Coldharbour was ESO's pet from the start. While vanilla zone is very low-budget, it's still captures the feel and the style perfectly. And the Solstice Coldharbour, introduced 10 years later, is even better.

Now writing is a different question altogether..

I agree that Coldharbour, despite its unpleasant atmosphere, is quite well done.

I was not at all impressed by Apocrypha. Deadlands was fine.

A large part of the problem is that the art team is stepping away from building new assets for every area. The recent additions have been built primarily from existing assets.

And the Shivering Isles section in the recent Sheogorath quests was the most disappointing by far.
