***YES this will be long because I'm trying to describe my problem entirely without having to come back here to answer questions multiple times per day to get an answer***

Ok so on Tuesday morning I got upgraded to the Collection: Necrom™ Deluxe (I had the other expansions but none of the Collector's Editions so I wanted to get all of them at once since it was on sale for $40). Later that day I created a new Dark Elf arcanist who is part of the Daggerfall Covenant (I've had the Any Race Any Faction since I first started playing). I did the skip the tutorial to start straight into the game since I didn't need to "learn" the game on an alt. It drops me as level 2 into High Isle at Druid's Gate just west of Westbay Wayshrine.. No main story starter. Nothing. I was thoroughly confused as every other character has dropped me in at the Alliance starting area (Stros M'Kai, Bleakrock, and Khenarthi). I've traveled to Stros M'Kai because I had the wayshrine unlocked already but nothing there. I traveled to Betnikh via friend teleport but no main story quest. The only thing I haven't done is head to Bleakrock Isle & Khenarthi's Roost to see if that triggers anything.

Here's where things get even more confusing. I thought this was because I upgraded to Necrom that it was sending me to High Isle (again I already had owned High Isle) for whatever reason. So I created a new Daggerfall Covenant Dark Elf arcanist (still have the one that got dropped in High Isle) and skipped the tutorial again but this time it sent me to Telvanni Peninsula and she was level 3. Deleted her, made a Daggerfall Dark Elf warden. Also sent to Telvanni Peninsula. Deleted him and made an AD Dark Elf arcanist who was also sent to Telvanni Peninsula. Finally fed up with not understanding why I'm being sent to all these other places than Stros M'Kai, I made a Brenton Dragon Knight who was with the Daggerfall Covenant to cover ALL my bases that it was a DC race with a base game class under the DC which you'd be part of as a Brenton without purchasing the Any Race Any Faction perk. Yet again he was sent to Telvanni Peninsula to start.

I should add that ALL of these characters started with Soul Magic at 1 which is only leveled up by doing the main story questline or buying the unlock from the crown store. Am I bugged or am I missing something that's changed with Necrom being released & character creation (my last character created with like 2 years ago I think). But then I'm confused on why my first arcanist would be sent to High Isle while the other characters I created after him were sent to Telvanni Peninsula.

Can someone help me out with what to do??? I'm afraid I'll be losing the entire set of skill points obtained from the Harborage quests and other stuff.
