This is the official discussion thread for the Horns of the Reach - Falkreath Hold Preview blog article.

Falkreath is under siege, and it soon will fall to the Minotaurs and their Reachmen allies. Falkreath Hold, one of the two new dungeons found in the Horns of the Reach DLC game pack, pits you and your team against the hordes of the Dreadhorn Clan in a desperate attempt to save the city. Want the inside scoop on this new four-player challenge (including information on the armor sets, monster mask, and other unique rewards)? Check out our preview!

I don't understand why you can't instance these so that they can be played solo. I'll probably never get a chance to play this (and you'll never get my money for it), until you find a way to make them solo-able. I don;'t see the point in paying for content that I can't play.

lol. There's plenty of solo content in this game for you to play. This is a group dungeon, if you could do it solo there would be no point in having an MMO in the first place. Go play a single-player TES game if you want to do solo dungeons. They're designed around having groups, and you can't make them soloable just by changing the difficulty.

It's a dungeon. There is plenty of content already you can solo.

well , don't pay it , nobody force you to pay it . so you will be able to spend your time in " solo thing " like " dark anchor " or " exploration " .

Some games feature "story" modes on dungeons. I think that could work and would not hurt anyone. Of course you don't get an achievement or the same loot.

Would actually be funny to just get like a horn or toe (compared to a complete bust or wall plaque).

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom , Which world builder did "all of this"?

I think a story mode for dungeons would be great as I've never (since playing from beta) have been able to find a group that wants to hang back and listen to the story... Shame because the work they put in is amazing!

Agreed. I still don't know what most of these dungeons are about since I'm forced to skip dialogue to not get kicked. Also it'd be nice to be able to do the quests without relying on someone else to hang back until the RP is done(I'm looking at you Selene!), or to help you with an optional boss that's blocking the way (Like in that deshaan dungeon...).

Wait a sec @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

There's a new home 'overlooking the city'? How's that going to work? I thought there wasn't a new area with the dungeon, you could just port to the dungeon that was it. Or will it be located on the North-Eastern Craglorn edge (hopefully near a wayshrine) and you can see the city from the back balcony or something. Also, will it be a manor?

It's on a hill over the main portion of the dungeon, inside the dungeon for most intents and purposes. They showed it during the last ESO Live, so you can see it in the Twitch recording if you like.

You can solo that one. Just hop onto pts and try (if you happen to be on pc)

So we'd have to go inside the dungeon to get to it?

When is this set to be released?
