Fanservice. nothing more. friend was right.
Dragons. okay they was okay. hardly swallowable but okay. Vampires, Lord Harkon and Serana? Just excuse me what the ***. Serana was caged way before 2nd era. She dosent say thousands of years beause she just overreacting it. She was caged for reason, as Harkon was happy in his stupid castle.
i understand now why Lawrence Schick left. Fanservice = more money. Well written story = deeper lore and more awesome story. (Morrowind, Summerset). But without him now they just making this 1 year long stories. What will it be next then? Year of the Vampire? Year of the Wolf? Just nonsense. Makes. no. sense.
They should have start a more deeper story into the game after summerset. a story that leads up to the end of the war aand not some fanservice dragons who was so overpushed. every boss is now a dragon. just why?

So it might have the Volkihar, but Serana seems unlikely.
From Wiki...Her year of birth is unknown, but she was originally locked away in the mid-late Second Era, in between the rule of the Reman and Septim Empires
uesp>fandom usually. That said, serana's dialogue implies that she was locked up much earlier than the events of eso.

Dedicating an entire year to a theme is far deeper than anything we have gotten so far. Before it was 1 dlc for this region, 1 xpac for this, and they were only ever so slightly related, if at all. Vampires and werewolves play a huge part in TES lore, and the loremaster left because of health and family reasons.

Not this time! UESP actually got it wrong here (Wikia has a dev quote to back up their date).

Durnehviir likewise dates his entrance to the Soul Cairn and the bargain to guard Valerica as a time when "The dovah roamed the skies, vying for their small slices of territory that resulted in immense and ultimately fatal battles." This is almost certainly the Merethic Era, prior to the defeat of Alduin, or after when the dragons are hunted.
The thing about retcons is they can also be used to explain Durnehviir's dialogue, since with Elseweyr we now have a much more recent period when dovah roamed the skies, who knows we might even have a role to play in sending him to the soul cairn ourselves...

You ask me, during ESO period, the isn't an empire either, but Emeric calls it the second empire, so there was one before (we know for a fact, but my point is...) that the vestige main character may not even know about considering if you're young, all you know is war of cyrodiil, but no emperor.

It could happen, but it would be a total retcon that reinterprets much older dialogue in light of events that were added extremely recently that were not planned at all during Dawnguard. Which is a thing that bugs me on a fundamental level.
All I can say is that there may be plenty of players willing to pay for Dawnguard: 2nd Era Edition, but I am NOT one of them.Lady_Linux wrote: »If seranna ends up in the next expansion i will have to quit. so much lore breaking can not be done without offending the majority of the fan base.

ESO happens in 2E 582.
The last of the Longhouse Emperors was deposed in 2E 577 by Varen Aquilarios.
The Three Banners War started in 2E 580.
So maybe if your Vestige is two to five years old they can say they only know about the war in Cyrodiil, no Emperors. Otherwise, assuming they weren't completely sheltered from pretty much everything going on in Tamriel or lost their memory or some such, they ought to know there was an empire in Cyrodiil in the very recent past - not the Reman dynasty, but certainly an empire.

Unfortunately, you kinda doomed yourself with your own statement. You recognize that many players would play and pay for a Dawnguard-themed expansion, yet say that you aren't one of them.
So regardless of what you say, there's enough people that want the expansion to warrant it's creation and it's success. There were people like you that didn't want dragons to return, but hey, here we are.

We should also note that the next two Crown Crate Seasons have also been datamined.

"Nightfall" is the Q2 Crown Crate (released between the Chapter and 2nd Dungeon DLC for 2020).
Gloomspore could be a reference to Dwemer or Falmer related content, considering the abundance of Fungi in their domains within Skyrim, especially in regards to places like Blackreach.
Nightfall, on the other hand, has only ever been referenced in the names of a Sabre Cat Mount and Pet related to the Reachmen.
But, both could also easily be attributed to Vampires as well. Vampire Lairs tend to be dark and gloomy and suitable environments for mushrooms. And given their natural (unnatural?) aversion to sunlight, Nightfall could be a more literal term.

OMG, if they feature the Dwemer in any manner that sheds light on their mystery, I am OUT. That's the one thing in the TES universe that NEEDS to remain unknown. I don't know why, but knowing more about them would probably destroy the franchise for me. And I'm only being the SLIGHTEST bit hyperbolic here.
They could involve the Falmer as we see them in Skyrim (besides Gelebor, who I believe could technically be involved in ESO), but it was the Dwemer who destroyed them and we're the direct cause of the Snow Elves' transformation into the Falmer (I know that they were Falmer before as well, but just for differentiation here), and the Dwemer are long gone by the time the ESO timeline begins.
Regardless, I'm suspecting that I'm not going to like what they do regardless of what that is.

At the end of Moongrave fane, the npc talks about the thu'um and the grey beards as well. Please don't add the thu'um as a skill line or some stupid thing like that.
I would hope that the falmer are introduced as they are and leave the dwemer mystery a mystery.

Personally I would hope for some Western Skyrim stuff (But not the Reach), focusing on Solitude. Throw in some Vampires for Plot, and a focus on the Bards College as the main side quest line with an accompanying Skill line that focuses on Group Buffs/AOE Debuffs.

so, you're making asumptions, and like every other fan boy, deciding the next chapter must be skyrim.
