I remember her for a little bit. I completed the main quest ages ago. She does have a memorable personality, that's for sure.

Can't wait to meet Captain Rian Liore! Does Buffy see any similarities to Liore and Savlian Matius?


Thanks Grits! That's Draken Decentius. I've been playing around with AI slop cinematic videos and making CGI-versions of my in game characters. Had a few Oblivion and Skyrim characters "brought to life". But that's a separate project altogether lol.

I bet he did! I am actually very excited to get started with the Blackwood Questline. Though I've revisted Oblivion remastered and got to scratch the TES IV itch, I always love new lore and going back in time to familiar places. And let's be honest, who doesn't want to teach Mehrunes Dagon another lesson?

I'd check the store but I fear I'll be broke with all the fun stuff. Fun fact: if there's an item you want but you can't obtain it via normal means in the store, you can personally reach out to Zenimax customer service and request those items in your character account as long as you have the crowns and let them know. But . . . you didn't hear it from me. I've had items and a nice little home in one of the Oblivion realms when they were taken off the market.

She does. I'm sure that is a big part of what draws her to him. Similar to Savlian, Rian is clearly a brave warrior who takes his duty to his city very seriously. Buffy is drawn to brave/noble men who can and do protect what is important to them.

It also doesn't hurt that Rian is quite handsome and openly fancies Buffy.

That new High Isle house in the Crown store is gorgeous! I don't usually buy Crown exclusive house (Tel Galen excepted of course) due to the price, but that one...

Ooh, I'm really tempted!

That makes sense. Can't ever go wrong with with honorable warriors who put others before themselves. She has good taste.



I didn't get a chance to check it out yet. I swear I've spent a lot of cash on the ESO homes.

Don't forget to grab the free gift ZOS is giving away. Transmutes, gold etc.

TL/DR Go to Crown store, redeem code, type in - U49GIFT

Thank you, Burnt! I saw that in game in the crown store popup but when I went to the store, I had no idea what the code was - so I wrote it off. Thanks to your post, I just went into game and got it no problem. Thanks again!

Edit: Ah, I see the reason for my earlier frustration. The bundle was available early this morning when Buffy did writs. . . but the official forum post on how to redeem is timestamped several hours later. Nice stuff!

What an exciting time to be playing ESO. Look at the new updates we’re getting!

They sold me on deep-sea fishing and ship battles!

Yep, I actually watched it live. Since the new people heading the direction of ESO have come in, I can honestly say it's the most positive I've been about the direction of the game since I began playing. I know some people (yes I lurked and saw your comment on the official forums Arcadian) are dubious/not keen on the upcoming Night Market, but I tested it on the PTS and honestly thought it was some of the best content I've played in ESO - can't wait for it to go live. Grits, you in particular are going to love it.

DE, thanks for posting that link! I'm not able to watch any of the Twitch stuff live.

Burnt, I was simply commenting on the descriptions of those three factions in that thread - not the Night Market itself. I honestly have no idea really what the Night Market is about so appreciate your endorsement.

I was having a little fun, not being serious I read your "Ewww" comment just before posting

As for the Night Market, it's different. I honestly don't think I can compare it to anything else. I loved it. As you and Buffy like soloing Dungeons, you might well too. Imagine harder group content, some can be soloed. some can't, unique rewards for the different kinds of content. You don't need to do all of it (but as a guild meet night for example, we totally could, though we might want to make sure we've all chosen the same faction - I'm not entirely sure how that will look like live yet)

I watched almost all of the link that DE posted and there was lots of goodness in there.

KABOOOM!!!!!!


* mALX's head explodes *

I did not know this!!!!!!!!!

If you love it, and you think Grits will love it = that means hard combat.

Well, hardER combat. From what they said, they've actually reduced the difficulty from what I experienced on the PTS. But, it's designed for a group of players, not to go in and solo everything yourself. And it's going to be very popular with a lot of people doing it, so you'll always have a lot of people around. If I remember correctly, its instanced and there'll be 36 players per instance.

And I've seen videos of people soloing it as well. Add in another 35, that difficulty isn't so intimidating.

But, and this is why I don't think we'll have any problems getting you to join us in this endeavour...

https://eso-hub.com/en/guides/how-to-get-nights-den-house

Free house, and upgradeable from doing tasks in there. And it looked a really cool house.

Along with unique dyes, sets, skill styles, monster helms and who knows what other rewards they'll throw in there. There's guaranteed to be a Golden Pursuit around it too I expect. But mainly for the free house lol.

Do we all have to be in the same faction to play together? Are the Factions just different instances or are they like PvP where other Factions will actually be fighting us in there?

If you choose a Faction going in, are you locked into that Faction from then on? And if we all have to be in the same Faction, should we discuss on here which to join so we can play together as a Guild at the Meets?

The question about having to be in the same faction was asked on the official forum. A poster who has been on PTS said no, differing factions can fight together against the baddies so if we go in together for a guild meeting it seems like we should not have to be in the same faction - assuming what that poster reported is the case.

Regarding changing factions, I get the impression from PTS posters that you can't change factions for the duration of a Night Market - which will normally be several weeks. Then that Night Market is done. The event will be a repeating event though and the next time it comes back, you can choose a different faction if you like. At least that is what I think I'm gleaning from those on PTS.

Yep, so they've said whichever faction you pick, you're locked into that for the duration of the event (End of April to June something). They're planning on bringing it back at least twice more (once towards the end of this year confirmed) with the aim that people will choose a different faction for future run throughs. As for the factions themselves, it doesn't really matter which you pick, it doesn't effect being able to play with others. Each faction gives slightly different rewards, so for the first run through just pick the one with the rewards you want most/ like the sound of.

It's not going live until April 29th (I think) and there'll be plenty more information closer to the time.

Okay, so one more question ... can you have different characters play different factions like we do in Cyrodiil?


OH! And one more question after that: where do we go see what each faction's prizes are?


EDIT: Never mind, I found the answer to both questions, lol. Factions are account wide.

I've been checking this thread throughout the day, and now that I'm at my laptop I see all my questions have been answered. Sweet! Excellent news that no matter what faction we choose to support we can play together anyway.

I am very much looking forward to the Night Market. I think we're going to have a lot of fun with it!
