Now that one Tamriel is on the PTS...

craybest · September 2016

can anyone tell me what will happen to Cadwell's silver and gold? it doesn't make much sense to let them be the way they were before, right? I?d love to see what's going to happen to it, since I'm just starting doing silver (in AD) and I want to see if I should focus on something else entirely...

You should like collecting skyshards........

craybest · September 2016

oh I absolutely do XD but with one tamriel we wouldn't need to take cadwell's silver or gold quests in order to get them we can just travel freely around collecting them all.

They said the Cadwells Silver and gold meta-quest (Experience <insert faction here>) was going to be replaced by something else entirely, however that has yet to be put on the PTS.

Hey @craybest if you watch yesterdays video on Twitch.tv/Bethesda Rich Lambert goes into detail about what happens with Cadwell's silver and Gold.

You can still go and do the questline for the other zones - Veiled heritance, Angulf, etc. They are all separate from the main quest line for character soul.

So the only unknown is the actual "silver gold" 2 minute chat with Caldwell at the beginning and end of silver and gold.

craybest · September 2016

oh, so they'll just remove the quests? I mean we can roam around freely and experience the other zones by ourselves, but the silver/gold quests will be removed?
I have never finished them so far (just started with silver a few days ago) but what about the rewards? will there another way to get them?
also, I'll check out the twitch to see what else they say. thanks!

@KICHZY Which one? There was a lot of different panels yesterday, and at least two of them were One Tamriel panels.

It was the one based on One Tamriel @ZOS_GinaBruno had to leave to catch a plane, Maybie she can direct you to the correct video?

I found it, it's in the second panel from that video, the "First Day in One Tamriel" one. He doesn't really answer the question that was asked, but in essence:

Cadwell's Silver and Gold still exist, and the story for them is unchanged, however you are now able to travel to the other alliance territories and complete the component quests before you get Silver/Gold. Once you get Silver/Gold, they will automatically update with the completed quests. He doesn't answer the lore reason for why we are able to travel to other alliance territories unhindered, and he doesn't address the lore discrepancy between how Cadwell introduces the other alliances and the fact that you can just get a boat there.

Enodoc · September 2016

Update from today's PAX. Summary: Cadwell's "Meridia hides your identity" explanation is still canon. ZOS are considering adding an explanation for boat travellers.

JKorr · September 2016

Meridia hides your identity before you do anything other than get out of coldharbor for why? Cadwell's silver/gold might not have been the best/clearest explanation for it, but it does sound a little better than "hey, there; you have no idea that I'm cadwell, and you don't know about Meridia's part in all this, but you can go anywhere and Meridia will make sure no one knows who your are."

@tinythinker came up with a good way to present this:

tinythinker wrote: »

When you first arrive in a different Alliance than the one you start the game with, add a glowing ball of light that appears only to you and that is heavily synthesized or continually altered in tone, pitch, etc. to make it seem other-worldly and unrecognizable. Something like this:

Mysterious Voice: You have strayed into lands that may see you as an enemy. My master sees great potential in you, and will cloak you from detection. In the eyes of those you meet here your true identity will be unknown. Your reputation here will be born anew according to your actions.

Player: Wait, I don't understand. Who is your master?

Mysterious Voice: All will be revealed...if you show the qualities my master anticipates. Fare thee well, mortal.

When you enter the other "enemy" Alliance, the original line from the Mysterious Voice changes a bit to this:

Mysterious Voice: Ahhh, mortal, once again you have strayed into lands that may see you as an enemy. My master still cloaks you from detection. As before, your reputation in this place will be born anew according to your actions.

So, you know, there you go. When you finally figure out who is pulling what strings (and why) later on this will make sense, but until then it adds another layer of intrigue. Now ZOS just needs to have a coder put in an NPC with the form of a glowy sphere at location x,y,z triggered by a new player entering zones a,b,c, then add in the text dialogue and set it to auto-play upon arrival, and grab a voice actor for a few minutes of work. Nothing too complicated or overly expensive/time-consuming.

craybest · September 2016

yeah I really think they need to update the story for the quest, or add a story for why we can travel freely, but it doesn't stick well between the story for cadwell's silver and gold, and the free roaming from one tamriel.
