With "we" I suppose you mean the kind of people who actually open any website related to ZoS/ZoS news and click on links etc.

Id even settle for a new vet dungeon. Slap a room or two on to an exsiting dungeon change the bosses up, done and done. It is actually sort of sad now that i type out what i will settle for.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭While I am looking forward to feature long requested such as extra character slots (something I do think it is OK to charge us crowns for), the motif preview option really should be in the base game. I don't think that quality of life improvement is something we should have to spend money on.16 -

✭✭✭o.O The base game pack actually looks great. Poison-making? Vote-to-kick? Vet rank removal? Yes please!
Onto some more questionable parts...did I just read something about motif previews in Crown Store? *confused* Do they mean we'd be able to see what a motif roughly looks like before buying it from Crown Store - or that we'll be able to preview our crafted items looks, period, but only if we unlock that feature in the Crown Store?o.O
Scaling of Sanctum Ophidia - good to know they're scaling something though unfortunately it's the only part of the game I personally would rather stay unscaled lol. Right now SO is actually really fun for small groups(unlike AA which cannot be completed without 12 and HR which cannot be completed with <6). I wish they'd scale DSA instead. ...overall good news for the game, bad news for me personally I think:/ I don't mix that well with 12 people groups.
Onto the actual DLC...basically, moar solo questing. Not even a single new dungeon. Guess another DLC I won't have to waste money on.1 -

Just posted a clarification in a different thread, but this means you'll be able to preview Crown Store motifs on your character before you purchase them.13 -

Cant believe the amount of times Ive accidently did this whilst holding items I actually wanted to research!!

Indeed! This would have saved me a purple VR16 Julianos Staff that I accidentally deconstructed while in a hurry, along with some items from sets I was trying to collect."Get off my lawn!"2 -

I'll settle for this, race change and barber shop was never promised for Dark Brotherhood. I'm sure that it'll be along, soon.
Poison making is a pleasant surprise, I look forward to it.7 -
