ESO - Morrowind [INFO/TRAILER/PICS]

WhiteCoatSyndrome · January 2017

@jaburns The Dwarf we meet in Morrowind was in an outer plane when it happened, but most of that race vanished mysteriously LONG before ESO. Yagrum is still around somewhere, but it's extremely unlikely we're going to meet any number of other Dwarves.

Thanks! I edited my post to specify just Yagrum.

If I recall correctly: doesn't the Nevarine meet an actual, living Dwarf "Yagrum Bagarn" in Varvendell? So- is it safe to say that there's a Dwarf still alive almost 800 years before that?

Hopefully there's some lore in the next expansion/dlc with some little info on dwarfs

I bet this will attract all those people who are still religiously replaying Morrowind.

Some of us are already here...

... but honestly, if this is Vvardenfell then it is the one move that ZOS could make that would pull me back into daily play (and support) of this game. I've been looking forward to this since day 1.

That's one of the reasons why this is Vvardenfell. To bring the both new and old players back into the game.

I'm hoping a giant cliff racer is a world boss or something.

An amorphous blob of cliff racers.

We don't know if he is already there, but he might be. He never says when exactly he arrived in Vvardenfell. We do know that, if he is there already, he is still healthy since corprus isn't a thing yet. I mentioned here before, but if we see him up and about in Vvardenfell - better yet, if we witness him interacting with Sotha Sil - I might die from uncontrollable fangirling (this is a thing, probably).

Good. It would be nice to have a big injection of relatively calm people who know and love the lore. It will do the overall atmosphere some good.

Vvardenfell should open with a levitation spell gone wrong and a man screaming while falling to his death. I miss morrowind.

Ooo, here's a thought: we know the Tribunal somehow get their hands on the Numidium in the Second Era. Do you think we're going to have a hand in that?

That would be my suspicion as well. If there's any plot to be found on Vvardenfell at this time, it's this one.

But I won't believe it until I see Numidium myself, just before I die to his songs of world-refusal (they can't be daft enough to put The Heart inside him, can they?)

In general I'm inclined to think the Tribunal just isn't very good at the whole, 'outsmarting Daedric Princes' thing.

To say the least. Lest we forget, Vivec, the Tribunal trickster god, was outsmarted by some random Redguard who was lying through his teeth.

And then there was that time where a bunch of daedra took over Almalexia's temple and she had to enlist some schmuck to clear them out, because for some reason she couldn't do it herself...

And then there was that whole "losing the tools of Kagrenak to Dagoth Ur" thing... not like those were important...

You know, come to think of it, for a bunch of so-called "Gods," the Tribunal are kinda incompetent.

They are just some self-centered weirdos with too much power. That's what makes all the story around them so great.

Well, at least I can say that for two out of three of them. I kinda want to meet Sotha Sil alive before I put him in the "self-centered weirdo with too much power" category. Maybe he is just a cute little weirdo that is totally a better god than Vivec and Almalexia.

I mean, I don't really have to argue Almalexia's craziness here, but Vivec was the one who thought it was a good idea to put a freaking huge rock in the sky over a city. And marry Molag Bal. Good for you, Vivec.

So true, while the Altmer are arrogant and condescending af. Dunmer are straight narcissistic. They feel superior to all races, which they may have been as Chimer. I am all for enslaving that lizard race though! And making those cat-men servants! "This khajiit chewed his food too loud so master beat him mercilessly."

Agree about their "craziness"! Lol..
But the "rock" was actually a meteorite that was going to destroy Vivec City and Vivec stopped it.
""Baar Dau was a large moonlet sent to destroy Vivec City by the Daedric Prince, Sheogorath.[2] When Vivec saw Baar Dau falling from the sky, he merely lifted his hand and it froze above the city. Instead of destroying the meteor, Vivec decided to keep it above his city, the reason for this was so that if the people of Vivec ever stopped loving him, the meteor would descend on them and destroy them all.""
Also note, that after they were thrown down by our hero in Morrowind, the magic that held it in place fades and it does crash and causes a cataclysm all over Vvardenfell just prior to the Skyrim time line..

Yeah, they are basically magicians, putting on a show for their people. Almalexia always seemed like the one most involved with the political and social power their status brings, but Vivec and Sotha Sil also used their power to further their divine and metaphysical capabilities. With CHIM, at least Vivec became more than he was as part of the Tribunal, and only Sotha Sil knows what he achieved with the Clockwork City and whether part of him survived in some form. He has been a hardcore recluse anyway, so I don't think you can blame him for abusing his power like you can with Ayem.

Now it is a game with no direction or quality behind it. I would love to eat my words and come back to this game with a Expansion that has meaty content. im not holding my breath

Disgusting.

Definitely a teaser to get the hype up.

Don't hype too much guys, your expectations will be too high and it may not be a whole lot close to what you imagine which will lead to a ton of letdowns (*looks at No Mans Sky*)

Can't compare a game no one knew nothing about with a game we already know a lot about.

I'm not comparing the game, I'm comparing the expansion with a game. The game was overhyped and it led to letdowns and lots of people saying it sucked (I quite enjoyed it myself and I think its because I wasn't hyped). Its an actual fact that if you have so many high expectations for something, and it ends up not giving you the things you expected, it will lead to letdowns
