DATAMINED - Future chapter: Redguard ?

James-Wayne

Recently found some new models in a folder titled Redguard, could this be a future DLC Chapter modelled after the late Elder Scrolls Redguard game?

Thoes looks like the same arches used in Abah's landing.

a future DLC Chapter modelled after the late Elder Scrolls Redguard

Redguard took place on the island of Stros M'kai, which is one of the starter zones in ESO. So I doubt that unless they plan on redesigning the entire island. (Which they totally should, in my opinion. But I doubt they ever would)

Or it can be the wireframe / mesh for a Redguard manor / palace

James-Wayne

Could be just a bunch of RedGuard models used in various parts of the game for sure...


This is the Manor 3D model

Hmmmmm.... Another 3.7 mil manor with no storage? No thank you.

Just one property? Khajiit thinks this smells like another crown house rather than a whole zone.

Perhaps a version of the palace in Hew's Bane? So many expressed their liking of that location that khajiit assumes perhaps they might in some way cater to those wishes yes.

ZOS has a palace if you have the crowns ...

I expect the second chapter to take place in Summerset Isle.

Considering the fact that the work on spell crafting is proved to be continuing, I think it would be very logical if they merged it with the release of Summerset expansion. Moreover, there are no new zones for the dominion right now.

So, in my opinion, redguard or khajiit zones are probable but altmeri one is more likely to be the new chapter in 2018. As for these models, they can be related to any new redguard themed dlc in quarter 1 or 4.

Yeah, we already [will] have The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind, so The Elder Scrolls Online: Redguard, The Elder Scrolls Online: Battlespire, The Elder Scrolls Online: Daggerfall, and The Elder Scrolls Online: Arena will only be a matter of time.

I think Altmer or Khajit. 75% of AD zones are Bosmer, and the AD hasn't gotten an DLC or xpac yet.

I bet they save Akavir for once we have most of Tamriel explored. We still have daedric realms, Argonian areas, and other zones we've see/heard about to be added to the mix too.

Don't forget Skyrim, lots of players would come back for that one!

Propably some stuff for player housing, nothing to worry abvout.

Next chapter is called "Warm sands of Elsweyr" this one likes the title.

I doubt it.

I think Morrowind will be it for a while. If they do another one from a previous game, it will be something different, like Shivering Isles. The next Chapter will be some zone in the game, like Summerset Isle, where no TES game has really gone. Which one they do depends on what Todd Howard and BGS have in mind for TES 6. If TES 6 is headed for Summerset Isle, we won't be.

Part of the problem is that they now have a self-imposed upper limit to what a DLC can be, and that upper limit looks like it is pretty low. Basically, everything that is Vvardenfell and Wrothgar sized is probably going to be bundled with some big system change and tossed into a Chapter salad.

I think Bethesda Softworks wants to do that one first. No worries though, I'm fairly convinced that is what they're doing for Elder Scrolls VI.

MasterSpatula

I kind of hope not.

Since the initial release, Hammerfell has been the subject of 3 content releases (Lower Craglorn, Upper Craglorn, and Thieves Guild). Toss Wrothgar into the mix, and the Covenant had gotten a lot of attention so far.

The Pact is getting Morrowind. And I suppose Shadows of the Hist is technically a Pact content release, even though no new open world was added.

I say this as a person who finds the Aldmeri Dominion the least interesting of the alliances: The AD is owed some love. The next major content update needs to be Dominion-related, hopefully in Elsweyr or Summerset.

James-Wayne

Elsweyr would be nice to visit, Summerset I feel is a massive content release like Morrowind.

Todd Howard did say recently they are sticking with their templates meaning Fantasy and Post-Apocalypse for their next games so Akavir is possible but at E3 last year he said no more Elder Scrolls games till at least after these next two which makes me think it isn't.

Finishing off Skyrim in the North thou would be nice and joining Hews Bane to the north would be great but I'm DC bias!

I am pretty sure we won't got to the Summerset Isle or Elsweyr (or Akavir e.g. Redguard territory) because those regions are possible locations for ES 6. As much as I like ESO, they won't waste a small DLC (sorry, expansion) on a region that could be a totally new ES game.

Paws of from Stros m'kai. I love the island how it is.

But I loved the game Redguard with it's pirate theme. I would love some pirate themd additions to it (Pirates of the Abecean Sea) and maybe sailable boats/rowboats.

Yes, that would be logical, however southern Vvardenfell is also an option but DC has gotten an lot of attention.

One option is housing in the TG zone, I doubt its an dungeon as I expect the next dungeons to be in Morrowind.

If it's in Alik'r , I call dibs . Khajiit Sultan statues .

Dunmer should be next one, just a couple week back we had a poll on favorite race and Dunmer was the winner.

We need something comparative to come to a viable conclusion. What are the other folders called? If they're called Breton, Nord, Khajiit, etc, these are architectural style folders. If there's one called Morrowind, then the chapter idea might be viable. I would think that unlikely though; ESO's Morrowind is set on Vvardenfell just like TES3 Morrowind. But TESA Redguard was set on Stros M'Kai, and that's already in-game, so there's no nostalgia to build on there.

Oh damn, Morrowind is the home of Dunmer.

There's no nostalgia primarily because there are very, very few Redguard fans. It's a spin-off, it was released long before most of us joined the community and it wasn't easy to run (let alone finish) on modern PCs. Unlike Morrowind, it wouldn't generate instant excitement. When the Redguard DLC rumors appeared a few years ago on the Skyrim boards, some people had no idea we even had a separate game by this title before.

There is only going to be one (1) single player TES game released in the next several years. TES 6 gets to pick where it wants to go, and that will be it for the restrictions on ESO from that quarter. If TES 6 goes to Summerset or Elsweyr, we won't go there, but we could go to the other.

While I know BGS will make a new TES, and Howard never wants to stop, there are limits to how many they roll out and how quickly they do it. ESO is not going to sit around for 10-15 years waiting for BGS to slowly crank out single player games.

I wish threads like this wouldn't contain spoilers in the title, we don't all want to know unavoidably from the forum main page what may or may not be coming in the future. Just putting the title as "DATAMINED - Future Chapter: Spoilers within" would make all the difference.

On thing to consider is a Redguard themed Chapter that takes place in Hammerfell. They could craft a story in a zone south of Craglorn, and west of Cyrodiil, that has something to do with Redguards.

Someone at ZeniMax Media wants to, or wanted to, use Redguard for an on-line interactive game as recently as 2014, after ESO released. I know that ZOS is not the only team working in the Elder Scrolls space, but it is one of the three known studios that could make use of it.

I agree, they cooperate on TES 6 in that the area will not be used in ESO, any other area is open, TES 7 is too far off to even think about now.

Or maybe jus a new redgard house for player?

Pretty implausible, there's no reason whatsoever for ZOS to have included content that won't see the light of day until next year .. other more mundane explanations offered by others here are far more likely.

Fact is, Redgaurd (the game) was a very minor part of TES 'lore', largely a failed game in terms of player reception and sales, and of itself offers little to no useful addition to ESO as far as I can see.
