When will we ever see more content in Dominion zone?

DC has Wrothgar and Craglorn

EP has Shadows of the hist and now Morrowind. (Why the remake anyway?)

I would like to see and spend more time in new Dominion areas too, since i'm all about the Dominion.
NB enthusiastic:
  1. Woodhippie stamblade - DW hard-hitter / PvE
  2. Know-it-all elf Magblade - Healer / PvE & PvP
  3. Hate-them-all elf Magblade - Destrostaff AoE monster / PvE
  4. Cyrodiil-Refugee stamblade - Stamina Tank / PvE

Go dominion or go home

Nightblade-Hipster. I played Nightblade before it was cool - from 1.5 onwards.

    For me personally, Craglorn does not feel like DC territory. And shadows of the hist barely adds new land to walk around on.
    Morrowind is based on nostalgia since its release was 15 years ago. No major TES game has took place in dominion territory (yet), so most players would not have any nostalgic feelings towards the dominion lands.
    I also would like to know what is going down in the southern parts of Tamriel, maybe we'll get lucky and in a year or so the next major dlc is gonna be "TESO: catlands" :P

    Morrowind is because it's iconic and I would imagine a bit easier to produce as the work's been done to some extent already.

    The Dominion stuff will come but it's not going to be as attractive to those not playing as there is no nostalgia and less people would know the title.

    Why the dislike of the dominion?

    Because of arrogant n'wahs with a supreme power complex, cannibalistic n'wahs and thievish sneaky n'wahs ?

    So let the snow flakes and unicorns dance alone until they melt or vanish from existence, we will finish up with those smart enough to stay in the glowing circle of love.

    Well, by the time the Fourth Era rolls around, the Aldmeri Dominion has, more or less, morphed into the Third Reich of Tamriel, thanks to the Thalmor.

    Except for Argonians. They are just lesser beings who were made to serve the supreme races of Tamriel, and maybe the Akaviri races in the future. Poor creatures.

    Welcome to ESO, where the developers hate three things in the game: Aldmeri Dominion, Altmers and Templars. I checked all three. Fun indeed.

    ESO didn't do very wel financially speaking compared to the single-games. Of those, Morrowind and Skyrim are the major hits.

    ESO already has Skyrim locales and the timefame can't accomodate dragons. So they can't really cram any more of Skyrim into the ESO. Morrowind they can work with.

    It makes sense but I'm not sure how successful it will be. Morrowind was a standout not only because of its unique location but for the immense freedom it offered, including being classless. It was also an absolutely massive game compared to anything that had come before it. That holy-crap-this-game-is-enormous effect is not something a Morrowind expansion is likely to be able to tap into.

    So I think it'll be nice to see but I'm not sure if Morrowind fans will necessarily buy it.

    As would I.

    I'm completely in love with Valenwood. And I think they did a very good job with all of the other areas. So I would like to see them turn their hand to Summerset and Alinor.

    Actually Vvardenfel is not part of the Pact. The Houses were not a fan of letting go of their Argonian slaves, so they refused.

    One thing I've only discovered recently is that Morrowind was not only many peoples first TES game but their first RPG of any kind. Which goes a long way to explain the hype to me. It is an excellent game but the way some people talk about it makes so much more sense in the context of them never having encountered that style of gameplay or mechanics before.

    (It makes me a bit sad actually, to me it was an interesting new development of a very familiar format. Maybe easier to jump into that way, it was mainly the lore I struggled with, but not as exciting.)

    Unfortunately the downside is that nothing can ever really recapture that feeling, except maybe your first encounter with a different genre. Re-visiting the same places in another RPG once you're familiar with the gameplay isn't going to be the same.

    All of which means I'd really prefer to go somewhere new, somewhere a TES game hasn't shown us before (or at least not since Arena, which most people haven't played and which looked and functioned very differently).
