You should stop making DLCs and "Chapters" based on previous TES games.

AdamskiAlders✭✭✭As someone who didn't get into the Elder Scrolls franchise until the legendary game that is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion(still has one of the most awesome and epic intro cinematics btw), I have absolutely no qualms about them revisiting past locales from previous Elder Scrolls titles in the series and putting them into ESO.

Cool its an mmo though so your questing will be *** in comparison to an actuall rpg and there will be 600 different players running around doing exactly what your doing!

And? We already have Eastmarch and The Rift now. 900 years prior to when TES V takes place.

Considering there are even Reachmen in the game now, this wouldn't even be a big stretch to justify bringing in, so I say they go for it.
Reachmen would be the interesting part.
One race does not has its own zone now, just an starting island, yes orcs had priority as reaper mach is mostly Khajiit.

It is, questing is amazing in this game, the writing quality is on point, it's even slightly better than skyrim's.
Playing Fallout4 right after Orsinium was such a jarring experience. By now, ZOS is streets ahead of BGS in terms of story and questing. I'm much more looking forward to ESO's new chapters/DLC than TES6 because of this, sadly.Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?

You keep using those words copying and pasting but I don't think you understand what those words mean. I don't think you can call it copying and pasting when they're using absolutely nothing from TESIII outside of the heightmap (which wouldn't change because a continent doesn't change in 700 years).
Things like buildings/armor/weapons/items/various objects in games have a mesh and a texture. They're using neither of those things because it'd look horribly dated. Just as much work is being put into the Vvardenfell expansion as anything else they've done. By using a heightmap which does not require changing at all, they shaved off a week of development. Good for them for being efficient.Edited by AlexanderDeLarge on February 17, 2017 7:08AM4 -

I loved Oblivion and Skyrim but nearly every Elder Scrolls/RPG fan I speak to always mentions Morrowind as one of, if not their utmost favourite game. I happy that I'll get to experience my own travels and journeys to Vvardenfell, Red Mountain, Vivec City and the like as I've heard about them from others or from reading the lore books in game(yes I once read the whole Imp City bookshop in one go when I first played Oblivion - don't judge lol).
For a 600 CP-level player, it sounds like you don't enjoy the setting/game itself/MMO genre. You're more than free to quit, and I would advise doing so considering that it sounds like you're just angry that The Elder Scrolls Online isn't The Elder Scrolls VI
How are they catering to RPG fan boys (me allegedly) by releasing an expansion pack that improve ESO by adding more features and content?
You keep using those words copying and pasting but I don't think you understand what those words mean. I don't think you can call it copying and pasting when they're using absolutely nothing from TESIII outside of the heightmap (which wouldn't change because a continent doesn't change in 700 years).
Things like buildings/armor/weapons/items/various objects in games have a mesh and a texture. They're using neither of those things because it'd look horribly dated. Just as much work is being put into the Vvardenfell expansion as anything else they've done. By using a heightmap which does not require changing at all, they shaved off a week of development. Good for them for being efficient.
Again, what are they copying? They can't copy the mesh because they're low poly, they can't copy the textures because they're ugly, they can't copy the sounds.... What are they copying? The burden of proof is on you my friend.
watch the eso live from the 10th0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I'm ecstatic I get to visit Vvardenfell in ESO and am even happier it's arriving as a full-fledged expansion. This is fantastic for the game.
