Datamined "Chapter III" - The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr

chaz

Hmmm, interesting. Although I would love to say I will participate in this, truth be told is that I truly believe that in a few weeks I will probably not be around anymore. I wish I could say why however based on experience talking about it, does not fix it.

It would be nice to learn more of the khajiit and possible see more of Maiq the liar and have a side line quest by him, maybe something to do with skooma and at the end of the quest he doesn't admit there was even one and knows nothing about skooma.

That said, About Dragons. If dragons, and necromancy, what of dragon priests?

The Dragonscale armoured mounts look cool, in tiny images.

Also a "terrifying sench-rat"? Looks very low down compared to other mounts.



Lots of interesting stuff.

This is all guesses and conjecture based off datamining, yes? Nothing official announced yet?

I wonder how necromancer class fits with Vanus Galerion conversations. He goes all along against necromancers. More plot holes on tes storyline. Vestiges became Mary Sues

You Sir get a special thank you from me!

Guys and girls please give a special thanks to @Arko_Nam_La for his datamining efforts.

I will properly edit the first page with your name. I hope you don't mind that I consolidated all the datamining stuff into this thread. [/quote]

many thanks, although I'd rather you call me "Thalmor_Justiciar" as that is what I am most known as online, this forum account is an anomaly in that respect. also I probably won't post on the forums as much as I did with Summerset's, since everything I post in the uesp discord is being posted everywhere instead lol.

btw, are you in the uesp discord? @Seraphayel what is your username if so?

I will not pry but I do hope you mean around this game due to your own choosing and not...this world altogether. Hope things start looking up either way.

NEW CLASS? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

ZOS, CHANGE IT! NEW SKILL LINE, PLEASE!

CLASS IS SO OUTDATED!

Lol why skill line? It would be much more difficult to manage and last chapter had soo many complaints due to single Psijic Skill Line.

Class pack with 3 skill line and lot of passives, we need class.

It's more difficult to balance classes.

The game needs horizontal progression.

I don't want to have to levl up a new character from Lvl 3 to 50 again, and I don't have any more slots.

In fact, all ESO classes should be extinguished and replaced with Skill Lines.

This is ESO, not WoW or FFXIV.

You do not want ESO to grow, it needs new class not simple skill line.

For end game players, game is dying!

And, for you, is a simple class more essential than skill lines?

If ZOS wants, a skill line may have 10 or 15 active and passive skills. If ZOS wants it, it can create a "shared Class", with traditional 3 skill lines, as long as you donwt need to create another character.

There goes what was left of lore and logic. Real Dragons in ESO, which never happened and which was confirmed by ZoS to never happen. And undead chilling in all major towns and social hubs.

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.

Lore...lore... Oh, come on! ZOS can make another lorebook which will talk about dragons and this will become a new lore. It's a game and not a real history.
Bring it on! All this stuff sounds too fun.

And this is exactly how cows and whales would comment. Which just confirms my original theory, that you would be very pleased by all of this.

Well, I'm a self-professed whale - and so far I'm not a bit happy about it. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I've already had some issues with "lore" in this game - but since they set the game in a time where there wasn't a whole lot "codified as canon" previously, I've let it slide by me.

Don't think this is going to slide very well though.... and on top of that, it'll be an absolutely HUGE download I won't have the bw for, so I'll have to ask a friend to send me his install folder again.... *sigh*

I’m a whale (search for the Plauge Husk Horse thread) and I’m very happy about this? Anecdotal experience is anecdotal.

Looking forward to this. .

It's obviously Senche-raht:
Nicknamed "battlecats", the Senche-raht are larger and slower than the Senche. They possess a shorter body-span and straighter legs. The average Senche-raht stands as tall as two Altmer and can weigh as much or more than fifty. However, these measurements may be exaggerated. Nonetheless they are the largest of all Khajiit breeds, although Imperial reports state Senche to be. Like the Senche, Senche-raht are also employed as steeds, notably in battle, or used to transport equipment.

I am trying to decide how I feel about all this...

Necromancy feels more like a skill line than a class, but I can see why they would do a new class. We will buy character slots, mount upgrades, xp scrolls, etc.

Dragons and Elsweyr seems like an odd combination, but the "lore masters" usually write good stuff, so I may have to hold my immersion nose at moments and just enjoy the story.

I agree with one of the previous posts... It will all be worth it for the Gerboa.

Seraphayel

Will try to keep this thread updated as good as possible but it's already hard to stay on track with all the new posts here.
__________

And everybody who says "nothing official yet so not true": you are right, nothing is announced yet. But it's datamined and already in the game files. Morrowind and Summerset were datamined as well and I'd say 99.9% of the datamined stuff ended in game.

So as much as you might dislike this "leak", it's with what we're dealing in 2019.

What if the second Dragon's Break from the Psijic Order questline brought the dragons back? Or you know, it could be necromancers who did it in Elsweyr. Maybe that's how it's all connected? Although... I didn't really see a connection with the Warden class and Morrowind, as nature and green is more of a wood elf thing, not a dark elf thing. Correct me if I'm wrong on that though.

Yeah I would agree with that. Wardens would definitely be a more Bosmer (or Breton) thing. So really, Vvardenfell / Warden / Battlegrounds are equally unrelated. Summerset and Psijic go together, but there's also no connection with them and Jewellery.

I wondering if there's only one dragon and it's the trial. Would make more sense to have it be one or to dragons in isolation.

That would make sense yes buuuuuuuuut...you really think they're gonna save something as big as a dragon encounter for a trial that 99% of these people will never set foot in? No way.

What about flamboyant male and female High Elves? I mean come on, master race without proper jewelry?

Dragons. And Athmora pets! Can a DLC be a part of Athmora? Even in 3rd Era is is said to have some life - not mer or men, but wildlife.

Elsweyr, Necromancy, Dragons. I really don't see how those three things are related.

@ZOS_Lawrence_Schick I look forward to your explanations.

Abnur Tharn, obviously.

Tiber Septim is yet to be born so he hasn't migrated from Atmora yet so it should still have inhabitants.

I think the new dragon icon will bring a new types of events on world map and it will looks like that:

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.

This makes sense, though, as ESO is now an aging game and the graphics and engine are frozen in time, while more sophisticated games are on the horizon. Of course they want to maximize profit, so they will throw lore to the wind in order to generate the most cash before the inevitable migration to other titles.

MornaBaine

ZOS @ZOS_GinaBruno . Okay, yes, many of us are excited about necromancers. HOWEVER if you intend to give necromancers UNDEAD MINIONS (aka pets, zombies, skeletons, etc) for the love of all that is holy MAKE THE GUARDS ATTACK THEM IN CITIES!!! Please, please, PLEASE do NOT allow them to just casually shamble through without anyone noticing anything. In fact ALSO have the townie NPCs attack OR run away in fear, raising the alarm AND have merchants refuse to deal with the necromancer. Have entering a town with minions up INCUR AN INSTANT KOS BOUNTY. Seriously. Don't destroy what little semblance of logic this game actually has.

majulook

My Predictions:

1. The new Class will be overpowered in one or two aspects so as to increase sales of chapter then as complaints of P2W get stronger and stronger it will be nerfed.

2. They will not have any way to change classes, this will give players 2 grind options.
A. If they have open character slots create new and grind.
B. Purchase new character slot and grind.

3. More difficulty with balancing classes will follow.

Lol I've fur allergy. I will probably skip this one.

It does make sense but so does the fact that any race when faced with death would go to any extremes to survive. We do have a dragon right now (verified by lore and another game) to be living in Hammerfell somewhere right now.
