Ok so really excited for all the new stuff, class - companions all the zone and content but I'm stressed because I've used all 18 character slots and don't want to delete any and need 1 preferably 2 for the arcanist !!!!!

Ok just seen the post that says we get a new slot with the upgrade - very happy!!

Need more character slots

So I am currently watching the developer direct. I figured since the Global Reveal Event is following right afterwards, I will live react to it.

Developer Direct News

New Class: Arcanist
New Location: Eastern Morrowind
New Chapter Name: Necrom
Story will revolve around Hermaeus Mora

I'm a little sad hearing about a new class because I'm 999% certain we're not getting class change tokens. If we are, then count me excited as heck. I don't want more character slots. I want existing ones to be changeable.

This, clearly.

Making it to lvl50 is not the matter, the matter is the background we have for a character - levelling some stories, skill lines... That is to be lost without Class Change.

The Arcanist looks interesting. Not what I expected at all but pretty neat and some of its skills look fun. As a fan of Lovecraftian horror, I absolutely LOVE the cosmic horror vibe they're going for with Hermaeus Mora and Apocrypha. I, for one, am much happier with today's reveal than last year's.

The all-in-one attunable craft station sounds great and gives me hope that other QoL enhancements will really improve the game experience.

Right?? I think I'm more hyped about the AIO set station than the class LOL
Imagine, guild halls that can be fleshed out and themed instead of a giant sea of set stations and an exit door.

Excited to see what other QoL and bug fixes come later this year!

That was really uninspiring. The cinematic didn't have any words (the leads had to spend 5 mins explaining what was in the cinematic afterwards).

What actually dismayed me was they kept going on about how different it was.. when as a player.. it looked IDENTICAL to morrowind. Maybe they're sensitive to this internally, so have to push the message that its different when its not. If anything, the detail level of eso makes subtle differences that might be there not possible to notice (without adding more detail).

I didn't get the impression from the combination of what was shown and what was described that this is any more than going through the motions. The only glimmer of hope was the story writing might be interesting.

Also it seems i don't have enough disk space on any of my drives to patch eso. Hmmm, a hint maybe.

And to nail the coffin, the all the preorder items and the deluxe edition are terrible. Threw the baby out. Fitting designs sure but who would actually use those items? Oh yeah and recoloring very exclusive and very expensive pets as , also really low effort and a cheap way to generate value.

Anyways, that's what they're doing so it doesn't matter. That's just my first impression in case anyone at zos cares.

From the reveal: On Companions: "We've been looking to expand and evolve it in new ways".

You had my attention, finally.

Romance?! It's the third year now, thats gotta be it.

Houseguest versions of our companions emoting, sitting in chairs, laying in beds or changing outfits?

Helms?

Can they sit down and play the card game with us?

There was a glimmer of excitement.

And then... nothing.

There was nothing new mentioned at all.

Unless an endless dungeon run with our companion is it.

Oh my god.

Zos is scared of anything mature. Take a look at the Timbercrow costume and tell me whether you think they would ever add romance (gasp!). In all seriousness though I agree.

Not sure about the stations on the user end, though. Now, as a PC user with addons, I just follow the arrow to the right station and autocraft the writ with a keystroke. With an all-in-one station, will I then have to scroll through dozens of styles to pick the one I need? Guess it depends on whether the addons get a major rework.

joergino · January 2023

Extremely disappointed

A new class - what for?

Two more companions to level up one entire year until their replacements appear - why?

It would be really great if they'd review all the sets in preparation for this feature and consider dropping some.

Yup, very disappointing. The companion system is very thin as it stands. Years of players asking for more content for their companions now and still nothing. Ridiculous really.

Here's the cinematic for those who missed it.

Well, the character 1 shotting everything without being in any real danger is true to present overland content.

KlauthWarthog · January 2023

I am kinda curious if the player character will get an IQ comparable to that of an eggplant on this chapter again.

Oakenaxe · January 2023

Not hyped at all. A new class is always something interesting, but far from being enough reason to come back. My favorite part of the game (Cyrodill) is still uncared for.

FeedbackOnly · January 2023

New comestics where far more stylish than last year...I bought strange green mount that is Destined for my new healer

Disappointed no new overland concept. I hope they expand on Oblivion portals more. 🙏

New group for premade groups

Books that attack people

wilykcat · January 2023

I didn't have much of a reaction either. I thought the new stuff they are adding into elderscrolls is fine.

They cornered the market on adult diapers.

It's another dungeon...

In theory an endless dungeon for two players is a nice concept, but compared to what the game needs and players are asking for, it's barely a drop in the bucket.

Can you even call it a new game system when you can play through the whole game without realizing it exists?

Wait, a looping dungeon is the "new system?"

Oh boy.

Yeah, when I saw that, the first thing that popped into my mind was that I'm really going to have to watch out in PvP zones on my non-Arcanist characters!

Yeah, it will be fun to watch troll tanks with 20 people parsing on them for 5 minutes, and as soon as someone puts down some meatbags and coldfire..... *Poof*. Where'd he go?
