But it won't be Elven content. It will be beastrace content oppressed by muh bad elfs - that is, if the Telvanni areas on Vvardenfell are any indication (seriously, House Dres has been written totally out of the game, their lands aren't even there any more, they are where Shadowfen was stuck, for some inexplicable reason). No one - no one - wants me to be wrong about this more than I do. But the track record is there. We'll see.

That's a fair point. If they'd go that route, that would ruin the entire chapter for me.

Ah yes the ancient holy city of Necrom where the Dunmer revered dead are burried... Also home to drunk Nords, non-slave Argonians and what looked like a bunch of pickpockets. Gotta have an outlaw's refuge after all.

This is why I didn't want them to do Morrowind. It taints the work Tamriel Rebuilt does to bring that province to life in TES3. Just like the 2017 chapter tainted the base game.

Tamriel Rebuilt's entire mission statement is to build upon the Morrowind that was envisioned back then, with the lore that was there from back then. Nothing is "tainted" as you so eloquently put it, because they purposefully ignore all lore from after Morrowind and build based in the descriptions that we had.

As far as the base game is concerned, ZOS is under no such constraints, so has the freedom to retcon or change things as far as Bethesda will let them, which despite what other Morrowind purists believe isn't really all that much when you get down to it--certainly not as much as Redguard/Morrowind changed from Daggerfall.

Seriously, we're looking at a different time period in an uncertain point in history seen through the eyes of one individual and you're acting like the entirety of a game set some 800 or so years later is being irreparably harmed.

All in a topic where one person had the audacity to express their enthusiasm for something.

I don't agree with all of this, but it is indeed a bit strange if they let people just wander around in their sacred necropolis. I'm sure though that they'll give us an explanation to be there. Something as simple as "(player character) has an important task in the Necrom vaults / was invited to speak with priest xy about an urgent matter". Of course it will still look a bit strange to have masses of players runnin around everywhere, maybe jumping over ancient gravesites, but it's an MMO and not much can be done about that.

Also fair. I wish they were more lore accurate with keeping specific races to specific things such as in this case. I'm not sure why they don't... it's immersion breaking. Other players is obviously one thing, but there's no excuse for being lazy with lore concerning npcs.
