That is an A+, Hall of Fame worthy guest list. Sounds like a very entertaining show is on tap.

@ZOS_GinaBruno can you please address what is being done to fix Xbox trials. Why this issue reoccurs with each major update and why it has taken three months to be addressed.

I'd love to hear what Lawrence and Zeb think of this map, where I've marked the geographical regions of Vvardenfell as they appear to be in ESO. There is no indication in-game of where the borders are situated, so this map is based on landscape features and climate patterns.

There are a few (intentional) differences between this map and the regions that were in TES3:

Balmora - Due to the 700-year difference in climate and flora, the vegetation surrounding Balmora more closely matches that found in the Bitter Coast, so I've included Balmora in that region instead of the West Gash.
Molag Mar - Again, the surrounding area is much more green than it will be in 700 years time, and Molag Mar matches the landscape and climate of Azura's Coast more than it does Molag Amur.
Tel Mora - Vos and Tel Mora seem to basically be two parts of the same settlement in this time period. It's also stated in-game that "Vos and the lands beyond" are ruled from Tel Mora, so I included the whole area as part of the Grazelands instead of Azura's Coast.

In all seriousness, these two gentlemen in the same livestream is F!@#&^! amazing! ....wait, what's a livestream?

Can I just swing by the offices and rais my hand and ask questions about old TSR modules (I'm in the neighbourhood)?

Seriously, I don't look at these things, but I need to see this...

WhiteCoatSyndrome · May 2017

Can we post questions here?

The Wise Woman you speak to for the quest to honor the First Ashkhans mentions learning to talk in her water-tongue and I'd kind of like to know what that means.

Enodoc · May 2017

Question for Lawrence and Zeb:
Why have you taken King Hlaalu Helseth's Imperial banner from TES 3 and supplanted that banner's wolf design on House Indoril? There's no logical connection between a Third Era Imperial-sponsored Hlaalu ruler and the orthodox Tribunal-supporting House Indoril. Beyond that, it clearly states in The Great Houses and Their Uses (a lorebook first introduced in ESO) that Indoril's crest has wings.

TheRimOfTheSky · May 2017

Questions for Lawrence:

Why did House Dagoth, the sixth Great House in the days of the Chimer, have their capital of Kogoruhn in the northern Ashlands of Vvardenfell? The location is surrounded by hills and not that close to the coast, plus it is quite far north and far away from most of Resdayn/Morrowind.

Question for Zeb:

Are there any plans to add Sheogorad or inaccessible parts of the Ashlands in the near future, like how Upper Craglorn was added to Craglorn? If so, will they still be free of charge to access if one has already bought Morrowind?

NewBlacksmurf · May 2017

My question...
-Why isn't there any Easter eggs or heck even a new NPC for this memorable TES:3 reference of Tarhiel the falling merchant.

latest?cb=20131004203949

You did create Icarian in Cyrodil, but it would've been awesome to continue this in Morrowind

Avran_Sylt · May 2017

Given that there are 3 sets that give group bonuses to HP/Mag/Stam (Ebon, Worm Cult, Savior), if a group Ult Bonus set was introduced, what lore could potentially be tied to it?

Cinbri · May 2017

Couple questions for Lore master:
1. In quest to ask Vivecs questions it shows that ancestors knows about Heart of Lorkhan and its being source of ALMSIVI power. Isnt it a bit weaird that spirit was so respectfull to Tribunal that was trying to keep it in secret along with actions on Red Mountain and lied about their origin of power and later after Nerevarine acts when it was revealed, they were called as "false gods" that lied to their people? Couldnt just any spirit of ancestor reveal that Tribunal built on lie to future generations?
2. Can you tell us more about origin and meaning of Ash Statues and Totems of House Dagoth? In tes 3 it looked like they were used to channel Ur's dark magic and control people, but in ESO it shown that ash statues and totems were already used by members of 6th House even before Ur awekened and had magical powers. Does members of Sixth House were already in some kind of mind control? Does quest "Echoes of Lost House" was influenced by tes 3 books "Poison song"?
