Will High Isle have a new intro quest for newly created characters?

    No. The new tutorial at Balfiera is the game's tutorial, but there will probably be a new portal added to take new characters to High Isle added to the portals for Summerset, Blackwood, etc.

    Sounds like OP may have been referring to the/a Prologue quest (not the tutorial).

    I would hope there would be one, but I think they usually drop those with the 1st dungeon update and I don't recall any of the pc folks mentioning one this time around (or seeing any threads on one).

    But with everything going disastrously wrong atm, I can understand why that particular piece of news could get buried in the mix.

    I'm sure they'll be one if there isnt already it'll be with the incremental patch in about 6 weeks.

    Every dlc since Morrowind has had one.

    At first I also thought the OP meant the prologue quest, but their reference to new characters suggests they did indeed mean a new turorial quest as was the case before Blackwood gave us a standardized turorial regardless of which chapters a given player happens to have.

    So I think the answer to their question is No, there mist likely won't be a new tutorial as was done before Blackwood.

    As far as the new prologue, I'm guessing it's going to coincide with a new set of Crown Store offerings, since the quest starter for the prologue always gets added to the Crown Store in addition to there being some NPC in the game who we can talk with to start the prologue quest. And I'm thinking that has usually come after the first dungeon DLC, generally around the time of the big QuakeCon or whatever it's called, although I might be misremembering.

    Yes. I kinda glossed over the "newly created character" part.

    Yeah, with the introduction of the Balfiera, the most they'll ever be adding is a new portal out of there with each new Chapter.

    Okay, I was mistaken about QuakeCon, because that's usually in August I think. But the Blackwood Prologue wasn't released until the end of March last year, which was well after the first dungeon DLC was released. I doubt that they would want the prologue quest to potentially interfere or overlap with the quests from the two new dungeons. In terms of the ideal sequence or story order of the quests, it should be first two dungeons, then chapter prologue, then chapter, then second two dungeons, then concluding zone DLC.

    There's been a High Isle Prologue tested on the PTS, so yes, there will be a Prologue quest at some point before the Chapter launches.

    Just to clarify, I was referring to the tutorial. It's a convenient way for a new character to activate most of the weapon, armor, and class skill lines in one compact area.

    No, the Isle Balfiera tutorial we got with Blackwood was said to be the permanent tutorial going forward. No more new ones with every chapter, just this one with additional portals placed in the tower to allow us to access newly created areas.
    PC NA, CP2500+. Character creation is the true endgame.
