How about playable Daedra? Have some break off from Oblivion. Give them customization that includes demon and insect aspects to make them look less like a plain human variant.

How would they even walk around town and interact with people though?

For the love of Christ maybe ESO will turn the CC down a little in both PvP and PvE.

DAMN.

Let's hope it's just a skill line and not a new class! UNLESS....they give us class change tokens as well! And AT LEAST one free one with the purchase of the chapter!

Why not just sell max level characters in the crown store with all skills maxed and all the skyshards collected?

I honestly wouldn't care if they did.

Oh you dont mind paying out the rear end for things just as long as its not in a Crown Crate. P2W good, crate of consumables bad.

Buying a level 50 at this point isn't even P2W even with all skyshards and skills unlocked. So many people already have maxed out characters and you can't buy skill so no advantage could be made there. I can't go and buy a maxed out Nightblade and expect to dominate with it if I haven't played one before. Plus CP is account wide so my CP would be the same as if I started a fresh toon at level 3. Buying a level 50 is pure convenience at this point and nothing more.

Mmm... Seems a little early for them to "tease" this in the game data. Wonder if somebody made a mistake here.

Its perfect timing. Both previous Chapters were announced in this general timeframe to build up enough hype for the June release.

Lore just got shot in the head XD.
When can I have Lilmothiit race now? Because clearly lore is not a issue anymore.

How was lore shot in the head? So far, all that has been revealed is lore friendly

p_tsakirisb16_ESO

Lets hope ZOS designers, consider that the Khajiit need open boots & gloves (for the big feet & claws) on upcoming "Khajiiti" styled motifs with the expansion, and is ridiculous to publish all motifs with the same small closed boots that fit barely the Bosmers feet in them.

To put in to words what i need to do for a 16th+ time is really difficult. A very brief idea is that my worst of 15 alts has
200+ skill points. All mount trained. All researching done. Every skill and ulti in the game both unlocked and levelled up to morph. A Precursor. A little more PvP (the next event) and undaunted are the only skill lines not completely finished with all passives. etc etc etc. Probably have to remove and use another 12 furnishing slots at a guild hall adding in the new sets and re-arranging them all again on natural ground (not on platforms coz thats bugged as hell for 2 years). Whilst doing writs daily on all characters since housing released. Being a GM of a large social/everything guild established in 2014. The list goes on and on

"Sounds like fun" (NOT)

Glad I'm not the only one that sees this. I mean eso has been playing fast and loose with the lore since inception, but this is truly jumping the shark and disregarding all lore entirely.

Not only lore, but all sanity.
I have mostly defended ESO's lore, as I find it enriching for the most part. But this update is clearly meant to please cows and whales. Because they have been asking for necromancy and Elsweyr since years and dragons would be a welcome nostalgia for them. I am fairly sure that true fans will find this rather questionable.

Yeah. Let's do what the people who pay their paychecks want. Sounds absolutely dreadful.

Also necromancy isn't at all lore breaking.

Thank you for finally listening to us, ESO team!

For me that's not only about skills and skyshards, though it'll be quite annoying to do it third time for one character.
With recreating character I have to repeat absolutely same appearance (I hope I didn't delete screenshots with settings! But even with them it's difficult because of triangles). With class change - no such problem.

It's almost like all those other elder scrolls games that have dragons and necromancers in them, wth is this!?

Well necromancers are already everywhere so lore is safe on that one. And we don’t know what they even have in store with dragons. Could be just one in a dungeon or trial or could be a few. Wild dragons exist right now (unnamed dragons). Not lore breaking.

After the fail of summerset, will NOT be buying this...
It'll be another laggy mess just like ALL dlc's and chapters before it

Elsweyr
Elsweyr is said to be relatively accommodating to necromancy. The Khajiit are said to show little if any outrage over uncovered graves, and corpses can apparently be purchased in the port of Senchal. Though corpses don't hold up well in the forests, the deserts of Elsweyr preserve corpses for centuries, allowing skilled necromancers to make use of them relatively easily. The way the bodies are buried in the deserts, under only a small cairn of stones, is also ideal for necromancers on the prowl for resources.

So having Necromancy in an Elsweyr update doesn't seem odd.

I seriously don't believe it. They're actually going to give people their Dragons after all this time.

I mean i am SO STOKED that we're actually going to get Elsweyr, FINALLY. But Elsweyr, Dragons, and Necromancy have been the top three things everyone's been begging for so I kept assuming this was nothing but a player hoax to rile everyone up.

To be honest the most obvious thing about this game is that its set before a dragon break. Which will...alter events into what we know from up to skyrim.

However even if they didn't it is not..."impossible" that more than just parthunnax survived the blades. Dragons are extremely intelligent. Provided its just one or two at max. The blades were quite thorough in that era.

It is also possible that we would be moving backward in time potentially for the encounter (through jone and jode etc as they are aedric beings they'd need only make a request of akatosh and bam pretty much).

We should also reserve judgement till we've actually played it and even if we didnt its tough because if this game never leads up to a dragonbreak and there are way more dragons then it means bethesda chose to retcon them or at least to some extent as the devs run everything by them for lore reasons.

What strikes me is that

Dragons + Elsweyr + Necromancy

sounds so weird. I mean Dragons in Elsweyr? Why? Getting a tan or what? And then Necromancy?

Right now we lack almost every bit of information but it sounds like a really weird cocktail of ingredients to work in the end. I have to agree with @Dracane on this except for the Elsweyr part. Dragons and Necromancy very much sound like the most obvious choice to generate cash, just Skyrim as a new zone would have brought more to that table.

I'm just gonna wait for more details. Hoping the "Dragons" part is very few dragons as end of quest or dungeon bosses. There just aren't that many dragons around at this time for a horde of dragons to make any sense. Also having them in Elsweyr seems really odd.

I took it as they were explaining three different things

Elsweyr is the chapter

Dragons will be in 4 installments

And they are introducing nexromancer class

That’s how I took it

Dragon wars will be separate from the new chapter

richo262

Class, not a skill line? That sucks.

SydneyGrey

Super excited about necromancy and Elsweyr, both.
But I'm also excited about this:


Finally! Another pig for my farm.

zyk

I don't think it's really about the specifics of the lore per se, it's more disappointing because zos went for such low hanging fruit to please the crowd because it seems to compromise artistic integrity.

But in this game the Crowd always wins.

@Seraphayel let me know if you find anything related to fixing Cyrodiil performances.

Can't wait for the next mini trial where we fight a Dragon

Hmm, I think perhaps you may have hit the nail on the head! If all 4 DLC are linked and it culminates in a final showdown.... its quite possible, even likely, that q4 DLC will be a trial where we slay the main dragon enemy
