"Next year will kick off with a Global Reveal show in January, and we are excited to continue the story from last year but in a different part of Tamriel."

I never look at the website so I didn't see that. That makes me marginally more hopeful that it won't be more Dunmer....

Even if they didn't say that I would be doubtful beyond words they would make another (somewhat) dunmer themed chapter right after another. Even more so since that would make it three dunmer themed chapters.

True! Well, I will just continue to hope. I have the definite feeling that the only race the devs really like is Dunmer....

Watch ZOS make it none of the above and set the entire chapter in the realms of Oblivion.

It has to be either Redguard, Imperial or Bosmer since they're the only ones without proper expansions. Maybe orc as well since orsinium was so long ago.

Personally I'd like more Khajiit stuff but I'm a bit biased.

I can see that Imperial City wasn’t an Imperial themed expansion, but wasn’t Leyawiin mostly Imperial? Some Argonian as well, but there were few new Argonian furnishings and no new Argonian houses.

And was Craglorn Redguard or not really? I still haven’t done that zone story yet. And then there was sort of Hew’s Bane, although the focus of that zone is the Thieves’ Guild.

I agree about Bosmer, although they have a lot of story in the base zones, they are the most neglected in terms of motifs, furnishings, houses (no tree house?), and further content. Next would be Redguard I think.

I would enjoy more Khajiit content too! I love Elsweyr.

Blackwood is honestly daedra themed. The imperials and argonians are some shallow decoration. I'm not sure if a lot of Blackwood was made during the pandemic, because it feels rather half-arsed, and the portayal of the south Nibenay is minimal and nothing close to the gaudy cultural melting pot it should be.

Craglorn has a little redguard, but a lot of it is mostly historical to Nedes (among other things) and the constellations. Same so is Thieves Guild mostly about Thieves Guild, even though it takes place in Hew's Bane. There is of course a little redguard there, but has a small role.

How about an expansion that includes all races and all provinces?

For some provinces it might just be a return to an existing zone for some part of the story-- which is sort of what they already do for prologue quests and dungeon DLCs, where we have to do something in one or more existing zones during the prologue, or where the entrance to a new dungeon appears in an existing zone.

But for other provinces it might involve new zones to explore, ranging in size from small areas to large ones depending on how much of that province hasn't been added into the game yet.

I mean, does an expansion really need to focus on a single race or province?

That seems.... ah... really ambitious for the current state of development....

I'm expecting Winterhold to be at the Tamriel end of things in 2024. It's the only place that got a credible mention in Necrom. So, Nords, but focussed on some more crazies at the College.

But, as for the rest of it, the story seems to be taking us ever further down a rabbit hole of times and places that never were. Existing lore need not apply, none of it. Very hard to predict.

That doesn't seem different from most chapters. It's based on TESIV's south Nibenay with a few more pinches of flavour in dialogue and books.That's to say the flaw was in the design rather than the execution.

Sometimes the quoting doesn't work right - it's a bugaboo with Vanilla for years now.

Bosmer could use a zone of their own and there was an interesting theory i heard in guild chat last night.

What ZOS could do is take the eastern mountainy part of greenshade and turn it into a zone of its own. Would take some finagling on the part of the in game maps but the idea of a high mountain jungle combined with something like Falinesti would be extremely cool

Just no more boring elf zones, thanks.

Imperial and Argonian, if they are looking for the race that has been short changed the most.

as long as it's not dunmer and isn't as boring (environment-wise) as blackwood, im happy personally

I don't think so. An Argonian and Imperial zone was the intent of Blackwood only a couple years ago. Whether you like the way it turned out or not, I doubt ZOS will tackle the same thing again so soon after the last time.

I am offering them the opportunity to do better. Like I said... "short changed"

I'd really like to see some more Imperial lore (not Reachmen Empire lore) in particular.

Am I the only one thinking that a "proper" Argonian chapter where we can see ancient un-destroyed Xanmeers and a huge Mayan / Aztec inspired city would be cool ? I mean, every time ZOS decided to do something related to argonains, it was always either about slavery, misery, death or very primitive tribe culture (primitive even for tribal stuff). So if they would take fresh & different approach and show us something that we never seen before & something that was never done before, I guess it would have huge potential & would be quite awesome. The map is empty in a lot of places.

But, what I want to see will most likely not happen. I think that best way to "guess" what new zone we can get is to see what companion's races are still missing. And those are: Orc, Nord, Wood Elf and High Elf. We always get 2 new Class Companions. The only class that is missing is Necromancer. And every time there is a new chapter - there are 2 new companions.

My wild guess is that we will get Solstheim zone with 2 new companions - High Elf necromancer & Nord werewolf.
