Predictions for tonight's BE3 announcement!

NemisisNaxus911

So if anyone has read the news article that was posted on Tuesday, they will know that ZOS plans to announce two new DLCs or updates to the game tonight. For my first-ever forum post, I want to hear what everyone thinks they will be! We already know from Matt Firor's article last year that they will likely be releasing a dungeon pack in Q3 and a content-based DLC in Q4.

I predict that they will capitalize on the attention being drawn to Raz as part of the Summerset chapter and release a Khajiit-themed dungeon pack in Q3. Aside from the Maw of Lorkhaj, we do not have any group dungeons that really focus on the Khajiit lore and race, so I would love to see something like that. Additionally, it would be unwise for them to release anything High Elf or Dark Elf in nature, as a great portion of the fan base would likely accuse them of selling off parts of Morrowind or Summerset rather than releasing them as part of the chapters. Additionally, I also would not mind a Redguard-themed dungeon pack, but I don't see that being quite as likely.

For Q4 I predict that they will release the Spiral Skein as the next zone, capitalizing on Mephala's presence in the last couple of DLCs and Chapters. I could also see them releasing a reworked version of Murkmire, but I don't see that as being quite as likely either.

Let me know your thoughts and predictions!

Well, first off, welcome to the forums. I wasn’t aware they were announcing anything (shows how much I pay attention). Maybe I’m just biased but I’d love to see more AD content. I’ve had enough Skyrimesqe like things. I would also welcome some Daggerfall based locations— or even some other region not under the alliances rule.


Good first post. Hope people don’t ruin it.

Part of me hopes we get a pvp dlc, an IC 2.0 almost where they take what they learned from IC and put it into this new dlc. maybe where u dont have to fight on faction basis like with bgs but its larger than just 4v4v4 ect, keeping the open world theme and all.

any race would be cool for dungeons but khajiit would be nice. i do hope for some more Orc stuff in the future as they have been left alone since wrothgar but the mephala's realm part does seem very likely.

I really like what you have suggested! I would love DLCs from what you suggested; however, I don't believe they will be releasing a dungeon DLC this year, as they already released Dragon Bones at the beginning of the year and their original agreement was one dungeon DLC per year. That could have changed just for this year and they might still release a dungeon DLC, but I don't know if it will be Khajit themed (I would love if it was though).

As for Spiral Skein, I definitely want a new fully explorable daedric realm like Coldhaurbor. I hope they do Spiral Skein or the Colored Rooms, I think either would be greatly interesting.

Why not sweet Apocrypha?

Lets see,

Terrible mobile game
Fallout 76 is battle royale
Skyrim re release
Look at how cool summerset is
Rage 2
Disappointment.

I'm banking on 4/5 here.

As long as we don't get another dungeon DLC I'll be fine with mostly anything.

Everything ZOS has anounced turned out to be very underwhelming for this game

Fallout Shelter: 2 or DLC

This would be an easyish one for them to do because they could re-use a stack of art assets from Skyrim, but I hope Apocrypha is never relegated to a dungeon DLC. If we go there, I want story and as much interaction with Hermaeus Mora as possible.

Their original plan was:

Q1: Non-specific DLC (can be anything)
Q2: Chapter
Q3: Dungeon
Q4: Overland DLC

I have some bad news for you pal, and I agree with you btw, dungeon DLC's are such a waste.

I am quietly hoping that chapters will be allowed to have more than a year prep time.

Q3 is dungeon DLC quarter. Dungeon DLC are easy to pump out and they're actually fun. I'm definitely looking forward to another pack.

I know that but we've already got the snooze fest called dungeon DLC in Q1. I just hope they don't stretch it to two dungeons DLCs per year because they're the most uninspired and boring DLCs they could come up with (and that's the reason why we'll most likely get another one in Q3 or Q4...).

I enjoy them a lot more than content DLC like CWC. But to each their own.

And Q1 was outfit system (base game DLC) with dungeons tacked on. The actual dungeon DLC is still Q3. I don't see anything else they could give us (we're certainly not getting 2 content DLC due to their higher production time).

Higher production time? I mean they delivered a lot less with Summerset than they did with Morrowind. What are they working on if they can't deliver two "content" DLCs back to back?

They didn't even have time to model the main villain in Summerset. And Summerset was bigger than Morrowind (20% bigger map, longer main quest). It also required more planning as it was an entirely original zone with no previous work to base it on. There was also less development time for Summerset as they only had 12 months, where as we don't know when they started Morrowind development (they had 2 years from tbe previous content DLC)

Content DLCs require far more work than dungeons (need to model an entire zone, create hours of quest content, voice act lines for dozens of NPCs, and design a trial, if that's still an annual thing).

I hope they will feed the hamster. It seems like it could use it. they could even release it as a whole new update.

"Huge performance increase! the hamster has been fed 1 piece of brocoli! except it not to drop dead in 20 minutes! buy brocoli crown-crates as celebration"

I would play a battle Royale for skyrim lol

But I will bet all the internet that they won't announce anything about es6. They probably will once again make a stupid excuse that "the technology isn't available yet for what we want to do."
Makes me so mad Every time I hear that. Such a copout.

WuffyCerulei

I wanna say Murkmire for the content thing. I know ZOS has been sitting on it for awhile. And a dungeon dlc? Perhaps? Or maybe 2 content dlcs this year. I am curious as to what they'll announce.

ChunkyCat

I predict I will be named the one true Vestige and will be presented with the Amulet of Kings for my effortless defeat of Molag’s Balls.

I'm hoping for 2 zone/content DLCs myself too.

We already got one dungeon DLC this year. I'd like to see some new stuff.

For ESO at BE3, I'm guessing:

Q3: Dungeon DLC. Based on clues in Summerset I expect...

One will almost certainly have the "obscured" 4th Sea Sload as boss - located on Ulvorkus.
The other dungeon, less sure, maybe Balfiera and the Adamantine tower.

Q4: Content DLC and Trial:
My favourite for content would be Spiral Skein, with a few excurions to other plains, tidying up unfinished business.
We know they've got Murkmire in the cupboard but I think it may be far too big for just a DLC, unless they split it into one zone now and the rest later.
For the Trial I have no idea, unless that's where we get

Balfiera and the Adamantine Tower

I don't think they'll say anything much about next year, unless it's something really, really massive like "ESO 2" with the whole story moving forward a few decades to a time beyond the end of the three banners war.

If FO76 turns out to be a Battle Royale I think I shall probably die laughing.

SantieClaws

Hmm this one she ponders ...

She hopes for:

Elsweyr
Guild function updates
Trader system overhall
All the housing things - all of them

She is expecting:
A new hat
More elves
A dog themed crate season
Sparkly indriks

Still Khajiit likes hats so looks forward to wherever she will be traveling between now and Fishmas yes.

@RaddlemanNumber7 Summerset spoilers ahoy:

All four of the cabal's Sea Sload are in Summerset.
--One in the main quest
--One world boss
--One public dungeon boss
--One Trial boss

Rain_Greyraven

Personally I would love to see a evolution from One Tamriel where we can have group instances of Delves and Dungeons...I don't see it happening but one can dream.

Oh and of course the major baby fit when the Angry Joe crowd doesn't Get TES VI: Yet More Skyrim........because you know all Elder Scrolls from this point forward has to be Skyrim

I also hope for Elsweyr. If not this year, then next year.

Here's hoping you get to walk on warm sands sometime soon!

Loralai_907

They are going to announce the next two DLC's right? So, we are either going to get another dungeon pack and then a smaller DLC, or they are reinventing their whole deal yet again. Either way, I have no idea what to expect in terms of what the content will be about. I would think the next smaller DLC will begin to bridge us into the next story line. But if there were any indications as to what was going to happen next at the end of the Summerset quests, I missed it. UNLESS, it is dealing with our precious Golden Knight. But I kind of doubt they will bring us back that way anytime soon.
