PTS: "Badlands" Chapter in Collections

RaddlemanNumber7

In the Collections menu, under "Chapters" there is an incomplete entry for a chapter called "Badlands". Is this a clue?

Maybe, I am getting blue thinking about it.

You are mistaken, that's the Deadlands. Similar, but not quite. Badlands could be some of Cyrodiil atm though, or the deserts and wastelands of Hammerfell.

Take into consideration real quick one of the new things they added in the arena is a Merunes Dagon portal-fighting place.

Plus all of the obvious evidence we're going to be doing something with imperials next year.

And next year is Oblivion's 15th anniversary.

I think it is fairly obvious they might do a throw-back chapter to that game that features Merunes Dagon in some shape or form. The name BadLands shouldn't be immediately discredited as it is highly similar to Deadlands, if they just called the chapter deadlands then it'd be way too obvious. Still think they're one in the same, though.

This is probably just because they already had the assets from other quests (Oblivion gate in Auridon) involving Dagon, and haven't used him much recently.

Isn't it just crown crates so far?

This is a good reason.

I'd be disappointed if there was a cyrodiil / deadlands chapter. Maybe if one of the dungeon DLCs included a deadlands dungeon it would be fine - but they already did a mehrunes dagon vs Cyrodiil in TES IV.

I'd rather see them add the dreamstride, or apocrypha as the main oblivion regions (hopefully as actual zones).

The Shivering Isles should get a whole Chapter to itself... Maybe a whole "Year-long story"... Although I could see Shivering isles being a chapter, and then winterhold being the smaller DLC that year...

Badlands...i only think about the border between Cyrodill and Morrowind. Some Potentate/Akaviri resistance here in no man's land?

We've got quite a lot of Uncle Sheo already. Azura's, Malacath's, Vaermina's or Namira's realms would be more interesting. Or Sanguine's. Or there's no such thing as too much of Evergloam.
And if we get Apocrypha, I'm buying that expansion twice

Oh, and I'd like to visit Meridia. We kinda need to talk.

Edaphon

Probably just a placeholder name. I wouldn't read too much into it.

We do have a lot of sheo already... well - kind of - he's the focus of the mages guild quest, but that's only like 6 quests or something, so it's not that much, and I think one other quest somewhere? I'd still like a shivering isles Chapter...

I'm not sure they could manage azura's realm. It's supposed to be so beautiful that mortals can go blind. Summerset is nice - but is not as beautiful as I imagined, so I don't think Moonshadow would be either! (Although i'd be happy to seem them try)

Vaermina's would be pretty nice. I can imagine that all sorts of weird things would happen there. I have this idea in my head that it would be the perfect place to add player created delves/dungeons.

I'm not sure I would want to go to Namira's realm. It sounds horrible xD.

Sanguine's realm could be interesting - It's lots of pocket realms

Crown crates and some quest text hints at cyrodiil. There is also a red diamond-themed card back for TESL too. And a skin literally called red-diamond something-something (cant remember) was also datamined with this PTS.

It most certainly is going to be a cyrodiil chapter at the very least. ZOS *always* gives small hints at the next chapter in the Q3/Q4 DLC.

They did it with Elsweyr, they did it with skyrim, safe to say they did it here too.

They already did dragons vs people in Skyrim, yet see how that turned out?

I'd be highly surprised if we don't get at least a cyrodiil chapter next year. There is no way all of this imperial stuff got datamined and doesn't hint at something.

Taking in account datamine It really can be this way given amount of Tribunal items incoming to crownstore in the future.

Epona222

Don't get excited about nothing - the name of the quest is the same as the name of the Western Skyrim starting quest, so it is probably just a placeholder that got left in the PTS build by accident.

No but those are most likely for a datamined event celebrating the Triunal (merging of Clockwork City and Morrowind celebrations). Plus, there's no cities in that area that we could go to, seeing as Deshaan is base game, and so is Cheydinal (closest Imperial city). More likely, for a Cyrodiil chapter, it'll be either Skingrad or Bravil/Leyawiin as the chapter, and the other as Q4. (Of course Badlands could mean a type of biome, so maybe an area in Hammerfell could work?)

RaddlemanNumber7

Sorry, folks. False alarm. As @Epona222 said this must be a development place holder for Graymoor that got left on the PTS by mistake. I guess I just saw "Badlands" and got lost in a fit of wild imaginings

It doesnt make sense, your sentenace is just klling own self.
1. Greymoor is on pts with own description and "title"
2. Badlands is in chapter category + it has question mark banner which means picture isnt added to the pts yet

so yea its new chapter which has been published by mistake propably

It wasnt on pts before so its not a greymoor placeholder

CyberOnEso

That's what it looks like on the PTS, the quest text is the same as Greymoor.

This isn't just a false alarm. Badlands doesn't refer to Western Skyrim.

Iruil_ESO

I have the game in french, and even if the quest text is the same as Greymoor, the title is "Terres mortes" for us (Deadlands).

Mehrunes Dagon? That you, bro?

xclassgaming

I want to remind people, that alot of codenames for the chapters are odd.

Glacier - Summerset
Mesa - Elsweyr
Scarp - Greymoor

Honestly, i think its called Badlands as its gonna take placei n cyrodiil, the colovian highlands, Skingrad. The chapter atleast,

and obviously its the 15th birthday of oblivion next year, and what is one of the things you think of first when thinking of tes 4? the deadlands. its probably just a codename for "yeah, Cyrodiil nostalgia chapter."

Last year there were several obvious give-aways about Skyrim from a few Southern Elsweyr NPCs

They mention Cyrodiil a lot.

Like, a lot.

Meanwhile still waiting when zos will finally add some content to Sheodorad zone of Vvardenfell that they released unfinished coz they were out of time. Bit triggering to watch on kinda not-small island that has nothing but occupy space on map and serving as example of unfinished Chapter.

I am almost certain it will be a dungeon DLC or something at some point.

Sheogorad being unreachable triggers me too xD

Really hope if we go to any major daedric prince realm it is a chapter in its own right not a short story DLC zone. There are infinite realms of oblivion so maybe if it is Q4 it’s something relates to the chapter that is not a princes realm.

JohnOfMarkarth

What badlands could refer to:

A postwar blood covered land blighted with corpses of men mer and daedra alike... Dark and fetid, sweet stench of blood...

Cyrodiil war zone... but now used as a normal story area. Shrinking the PvP-Cyrodiil to inner circle of forts ... +imperial city itself... Majority of the land left, now... badlands in need of fixing. which could add to new visuals... A land covered in bodies...corpses... flies and heavy air... with deathly purplish-greenish swirls of magicka... as leftovers of great amount of death.

Such amount of dying has created its own entity in Elder Scrolls later on... could be a nice addition too. A new godly threat, that isnt hellbent on destroying everything but isnt a good entity either... An Umbra'Keth. One created before Shadowkey. (Which would make shadowkey Umbra'k' a 2nd one)... Could also delve into shadow magic and its metaphysical properties. Gods we need more metaphysics lore in ESO... summerset was so *pinkbunnies* good in that.

just a thought

Speaking of which, next crown crate season will be, apparently, about akaviri potentates. I think you might be kinda right about the location. And lots of Imperial based stuff. Also a new imperial mission in the christmas event but that might have nothing to do
