What do we think the next big arc will be?

Aptonoth · June 2019

At this point with dragons done are we going to do them again next year? Its going to be hard to top in my opinion. I suppose we could see a massive sload invasion of some sort. Pretty much everyone and their uncle thinks Skyrim will be 2021 and I agree. Its highly unlikely they will do Hammerfell since two deserts back to back could be boring. So its really only of the main provinces Black Marsh left or a return to or we could see a Cyrodil focused year filling in huge chunk of what isn't there. Alternatively they could do something unique like clockwork in there for an entire year or something + full expansion.

What do we think is more likely? While I would love for it to be Black Marsh my gut instinct says its going to be one of the last places we go. If I had to guess Cyrodil > Skyrim > Black Marsh > Hammerfell for the big expansions.

I think all of 2021 will be Skyrim for dungeons, chapter and zone DLC. Game was too big and it will likely bring in new players if marketed correctly.

I think the chapter after that will be in Cyrodiil, I'd love to see Skingrad. Hammerfell is obviously TES VI so I see them holding off on that until they know what BGS makes it look like, they'll want it to match up as closely as possible and it'll give cross marketing opportunities. Black Marsh isn't very popular so I could see them splitting that up into smaller updates as much as possible, while also trying to avoid two EP chapters in a row (Skyrim, BM).

As for what the arc should/will be. I really want to see vampires expanded. Add in a vampire lord skill line, revamp the current vampire tree, add in vampire and necromancy armors, player themed homes, etc. It could be a very popular piece of content.

I agree with Cyrodiil, perhaps the Blackwood region + the rest of the Nibenay Valley/Basin.

When the game decides to perform right.

How to lose customers and still appear to be raking in cash, maybe!

I keep seeing BM isn't popular only on these forums with all the keyboard racists. Seems to be pretty popular everywhere else, at least from what I've seen.

Hoping for something related to Imperials. Maybe something like trying to reestablish Blackwood or Colovia as a base of Imperial power in the hope of ending the three banners war. Early in the Elsweyr main storyline, Abnur Tharn briefly mentioned having liberated a few Imperial villages so...who knows?

I like how for the first time we're starting to see that Imperials aren't exactly the bad guys in ESO.

The one with spell crafting....

THIS!!!

I can very much agree with the expanding of vampires. It's one of the most untouched aspects of the game and if they go to Skyrim, then that would be the perfect time to expand upon such. I really feel like we'll see a vampire lord skill line along with a revamp of what we currently have next year along with finally a story/quest line revolving around vampires. Another sick addition they could add with the next expansion is a HUNTER (dawnguard or some other group) skill line for those that don't want to be vampires or werewolves. Very tired of this game not having an option for such.

True I see lots of BM love outside this forums. Hence why I think the next one is either Cyrodil or BM for sure.

Could be anything there are a few things here and there and a few loose ends
I think 2020 will be there to tie up loose ends with the Year of the Dragon and main quest line stuff I think more imperial stuff so Nibenay Valley Chapter, hopefully now the Dragon Guard in game ZOS will finally do something with Cloud Ruler Temple.
2021 will probably be Skyrim related stuff I suspect Winterhold with The Pale Chapter this will be apart of Meridia Story Arc were we help try and rescue Darien and find out what Meridia true intentions are and a College of Winterhold skill and quest line.

You know.. it occurred to me. The sload teaming up with angry argonians to make a super flu would be a cool plot and major antagonist. On top of this spears are the most requested weapon addition since Morrowind, oblivon, and in ESO now too. What better place to introduce it than BM instead of a class?

Can anyone think of really crazy big and unique antagonists for the Cyrodil zones? Something huge enough and interesting enough it could justifying being as big as Daera/Sloads/Dragons?

Shivering Isles would be cool...…

Who doesn't need a bit more Uncle Sheo in their lives??

Rewards including a Wabbajack-esq type weapon...…. never knowing what type of damage/trickery it might produce!

I can already picture one of my Guilds doing a "Wabbajack" only Trials run, that would be very funny.
