Why is 1.2.3 such a huge patch?

jesterstear

My download speed tops out around 300k second, I fired up ESO at 4pm this afternoon to do some quick quests, the first time I had a chance to log on since Sunday. 6 hours later it's still going. 66% complete and another 4gigabytes to download. Then again, there was 4gigabytes to download 2 hours ago but when that finished it wanted to download another 4gb file or two, so I don't know if this will be the last one. Since the previous patches were only a few hundred meg, any ideas what makes this one so freaking huge? New hi-res textures for every model?

Existing content being re-downloaded?

The game takes 39gb on my disk so far and hasn't finished patching...
