Q4 is 2 companions and a pvp update.
So we get Q3 including the housing update for free, correct? What's with Q4?

They said the pvp thing will be something bigger they don't want to reveal yet. So it might probably be something like a dlc instead of just an update? I just hope that, if it costs money, pvp and companions won't be bundled. Chances are high that there are a lot of people who are only interested in the companions, but not in the pvp feature at all (or the other way around), so paying a full dlc prize just for 2 companions would be a bit much (especially considering that they've been part of the Q2 chapter so far and didn't have to be bought seperately). That's the reason I'm curious about the details.
Two, scribing is designed with balance in mind. This is still an online game where you are interacting with others and working toward goals with others. The team needs a way to balance, and scribing (a precursor to spell crafting) achieves that.
Does that mean all of the scribe-able skills are tailored by means of their animation to only be useful in very rare circumstances, as is the case for the showcased bow skill?

What I meant was, just like any other skill in the game, we need a way to balance them. In Oblivion, if you wanted to make a spell to destroy people in one shot, you could in-theory do that. With Scribing, you should not be able to make a skill so powerful that you could one shots a boss.
I'm excited about the new content, including the scribing concept, although there are unanswered questions as to how it will work, and I'm unclear how the style changes will work with skill animations - if my skill effect is changed say from orange to purple does that just affect how I see my skill effect, or other players' effect for that skill including the way they see my skill effect?
Perhaps nothing, because the companions might just be added as a patch, and then be available via companion "unlock" quests, just like the previous ones.Fata1moose wrote: »I wonder how much the companions will cost in the crown store being separated from the chapter.

The devil is always in the detail, and given past experience in recent years never more so than when QoL changes/additions
are mentioned. One person's improvement can be another person's gamebreaker, so yes the devil will definitely be in the detail, including whether such things are mandatory or optional!

This won't happen. Q4 is a DLC, a PVP DLC, which will have companions included. I am sure this was a way for ZOS to get people who don't PVP to buy the DLC.
Because it's obviously not Spell Crafting as everyone envisioned it to be. It's Spell Customization. Probably what ZOS was only capable of doing within the confines of the existing code and gameplay mechanics. We have to appreciate what we can get, not demand what we want.

The stream (at 38:19) presented a graphic listing the 4 quarterly updates, and saidPerhaps nothing, because the companions might just be added as a patch, and then be available via companion "unlock" quests, just like the previous ones.Fata1moose wrote: »I wonder how much the companions will cost in the crown store being separated from the chapter.

So I'm not convinced the companions are locked into the PvP. Although they may have mentioned something about the 2 being connected in the stream and I missed it, so I could be wrong.Update 44
