Man... after playing this game (just got the platinum trophy for skyrim on PS5, working on it for oblivion remastered), it made me think about how cool an alternative version of the imperial city and cyrodiil would be in ESO. That's all :) Happy monday!

    I wanna preface this by saying I don't think anything should be taken away from pvp players. I've enjoyed Cyro and IC to a lesser extent.

    I look at oblivion and I see wasted potential. Cyrodil and the imperial City are a huge portion of the map that will never see any development. Think of the story potential of post 3 banners war and planemeld. I don't want to sound mean but the whole area seems kind of wasted. I think it'd be really cool if they made an alternate instance of the IC and surrounding area and did a chapter or season there. Telling the story of rebuilding after the war and Molag Bal. Keep the pvp areas, obviously. Just don't restrict yourself story wise.

    Yea given how low the pop cap is and how dead IC is most of the time, I agree. Definitely don't wanna take anything from PvP, I just think it'd be cool to visit these areas in a different fashion at some point. Like a separate campaign or something with a new story once. IC story actually is cool, but it'd be cool to not have it in doom and gloom fashion for a bit and see something new

    Would be nice if they at least rotated the IC to the proper orientation in ESO...

    I actually think they did a fantastic job, visually, with Imperial City in ESO. The Planemeld terrain mixed with the IC architecture was amazing, and still stands up to this day.

    I'd very much love a PvE instance of Cyrodiil, though.

    With dwindling space in Tamriel proper, and the excellent assets the game added with Blackwood and Gold Road, it just seems like a really good idea.

    I love being able to go questing in Oblivion in Cyrodiil and IC without getting mobbed by other players that won't leave you alone. Just reminds me again why ES is better as a single player.

    i really wish you guys would stop asking to take away PvP from us. Us players never demand to remove dungeons or PvE content.

    uh, theres a war going on between 3 factions vying for control. Shouldnt be changed to appease the pve crowd.

    I'd very much love a PvE instance of Cyrodiil, though.

    And to add: I'd also support that. Leave the PvP Cyrodiil the way it is, but an extra version of it, with a story taking place after the war, would be something I'd find interesting.

    That's a desperate interpretation.

    Never fails to bemuse me how they so often make that assumption when we explicitly say it would be in addition to PvP Cyrodiil & IC, just a PvE instance that removes nothing from PvPers.

    Just a pity I've run into a quest breaking bug for the Thieves Guild which means I'm not going to able to finish it and get the achievements. You'd have thought stuff like this would be fixed in the remaster, but nah... too much work I guess.

    Submit a report if they have the facility. The problem with bugs in open world games is that they can trigger in very odd ways (because virtually no player does exactly the same thing as any other) so they may not be aware.

    I have. Just the generic "do the obvious stuff to fix it dummy" reply, like people don't try all that stuff before submitting tickets.

    If anyone else has this issue with the Thieves Guild questline, I just finished the Dark Brotherhood questline and that fixed the issue with the TG questline... weird.

    Cyrodil and the imperial City are a huge portion of the map that will never see any development. Think of the story potential of post 3 banners war and planemeld.

    That's not really a unique attribute of Cyrodiil. Every zone is stuck in permanent limbo, ever unchanging. The dolmens and other incursions will keep happening even after the storylines are over. NPCs forever stuck in place talking about events as if they happened a second ago.

    I'd argue that if anything, Cyrodiil has the greatest chance to be meaningfully altered, as it's pretty much the only PvP zone. ZoS could always decide to canonise a particularly big change to the battlefield.
    Like declare the Alessia bridge permanently destroyed.

    If Imperial city wasn't a pvp zone it would be dead as Murkmire or Hews bane or Gold Coast on off event day.
    People cry that it's pvp only but forget that literally every dlc in eso (at least the smaller one's that weren't chapters) are extremely empty because there isn't really anything to grind for in said zones.

    If zos did go in depth into older zones and released some unique rare drops it would boost up the interset in those dlcs. Unique drop I mean like costumes,pets,mounts etc.
    Cause if you are a casual you finish the store in like 5 hours add few hours to do few delves you are basically done the dlc, the achievement collector has a little fishing and about it. That's why small dlcs don't really have a long player engagement which is quite sad as they are amazing zones.

    If you read for 2 seconds in what I said, I said it'd be cool to have an alternative version meaning not to take away stuff from PvPers. It's literally in the post you quoted. Read for a second before turning your brain off and intentionally misrepresenting what I said.

    Literally just said itd be cool to experience these separately lol
