Will we get to see Yagrum Bagarn in Morrowind?

As we all know Yagrum Bagarn is the last Dwemer left alive at this point in Elder Scrolls history. As far as we know he should be in Vvardenfell and not have contracted corprus yet. Do you guys think we will get to see him?

I would say no. I feel that might be one area of Morrowind they don't want to touch on.

That said, we're in for a lot of surprises so who know if I will be eating those words in a months time.

I think they already said on ESO live that we won't meet him.

Yeah i remember them saying we won't see him and won't know about him

Per ZOS, Tel Fyr is the partial (starting) location for the new 12-man Trial ... which eventually heads deeper into the doldrums of Red Mountain.

So, the likelihood of seeing the Corprusarium or Yogrum Bagarn seems very low to zero.

Relative to this timeline, the mysterious 'disappearance of the dwarves' was not TOO long ago. Yagrum was in some 'undisclosed plane of existence' during that time, which spared him the fate of the rest of his kind. When he returned at an unspecified date we can conclude the Blight was already in full swing since the first thing he did once back on Nirn was contract Corprus and become a shambling monstrosity. The Blight wasn't until the third era, still several hundred years into the future for us. Meaning he's still just floating around in some pocket dimension somewhere, doing important dwarf things.

Yeah, only 2800 or so years...
Oh, wait, that IS long ago!

But if you recall what Yagrum Bagran said on the matter back in TES:Morrowind:

"I was in an Outer Realm at the time, and when I came back, my people were gone. I left Red Mountain, wandering Tamriel for years, searching our deserted colonies, looking for a survivor or an explanation. Then, a long, long time ago, I returned to Red Mountain, still looking for answers. Instead, I found corprus disease, and I have been here ever since."
...
"I do not know for a fact that I am the last. But in my travels thousands of years ago. I never encountered another."

So, while there is no definite date on when he was around, we do know that he came back to tamriel somewhen after the battle at red mountain, spent a long time trying to find his people, then came back to red mountain, got infected with corprus and taken in by Divayth Fyr...

Notable is that his comments seem to indicate he got corprus -before- Dagoth Ur woke at the end of the second era, since he mentiones his travels were "thousands of years ago", while Dargoth Ur awoke a mere 440 or so years before the events of TES:Morrowind... (or will awake 300 years after the events of ESO) which means that Yagrum is most likely already residing in the Corprusarium during the times of ESO.

On the other hand... his mind may not be what it used to be, there IS mention that he went mad when contracting corprus, and only later recovred his senses... so its entirely possible that his comments are not entirely accurate, so there is some leeway in the lore there... he could still be searching for his people... somewhere in Tamriel.

Of course, if we get to see him or not depends entirely on the decisions of the powers that be. They can add him somewhere, or not, as it fits in their storylines...
