Thank you Zenimax for Blackwood!

Just creating this thread as a thank you to ZOS for creating Blackwood. The content in the region has been engaging, interesting, and fulfilling for me so far. I enjoyed the Argonian Xanmeer themed delves, villages, and other related content. I was skeptical at first when I saw the repetitive use of Murkmire styles in the expansion, but you showed that such styles can be used in more unique and creative ways (see Xi-Sei delve and Stonewastes). I do hope to see different architectural styles for Argonians in the more Eastward expansions in the future, especially if Helstrom is ever released. Gideon was exactly as i pictured it, a Medieval Imperial stronghold that was under Argonian control.
Additionally, I enjoyed the imperial side of Blackwood, a region I have loved since Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. This expansion did Leyawiin justice and fully populated the region with new and unique content to explore. There was a sense of balance between the grandiose and the down to earth themes that characterize both Argonians and Imperials (as opposed to the glitzy and overtly grandiose Kajhiit and High Elf provinces and the overtly Dark Age earthiness that often accompanies anywhere in Skyrim).
I hope to see more Argonian and Imperial content in the near future, and will look forward to 2022's expansion (whether it will be Hammerfell, which we sorely need, or a repeat of the remaining provinces. Hopefully we can see a proper full year of Imperial content as well as a proper full year of Argonian content, despite the fact that many on the forum think we can just skip over such years. Every race should get its own year, regardless of personal bias. I like the Nords as a people, but I dislike Skyrim as a province. I still enjoyed trekking through Greymoor, despite my dissatisfaction with the main story.
