ESO 2020 Discussion - The Dark Heart of Skyrim Options

[RaderOfTheLostArk]

Alright, people. We've finally gotten a look at and quite a bit of information about the season-long story for ESO this year: The Dark Heart of Skyrim. This specific thread will be for discussion about it. What do you think about what ZOS had to say regarding this year's content during the live reveal? What confirmed content excites you the most? What are you hoping for or predicting will come out in terms of locations, monsters, dungeons, etc.? So on and so on.

And...discuss!

I’m very interested in this new chapter. Really hoping it involves the Reachfolk in some meaningful way rather than just more fodder for our characters to destroy.

Agree 100%.

I mean, there has to be at least one Reach clan that isn’t compromised entirely of murderous psychopaths, right?

Maybe?

Most we’ve seen in lore from the time of ESO to Skyrim are a bunch of murderous wild-warriors, and given the fact that the Daedric Princes they serve range from Namira, Molag, and Hircine, there’s not much room for anything else.

I’m hoping to meet some less murderous ones, for sure.

Now what I’m hoping for this chapter? Lore. I really like the fact that we’re getting to meet new characters and familiar ones, too.

The new vampires are apparently not Volkihar but another clan entirely. Since Skyrim, I’ve wanted to know what other clans are out there. They’ve been mentioned indirectly a handful of times. Harkon and his people are prepping for the events of Dawnguard, which in my honest opinion, is a lot of prepping.

I’m also interested in seeing the conflict between clans. Apparently the Rivenspire crew is going to go against the vamp crew in Skyrim, and Lamae’s quest will be reworked, most likely to fit the vampire lord ultimate skill. They also pretty much confirmed the suspicion that vampire lord form is NOT exclusive to the Volkihar, but pure blooded vampires in general.

Blackreach is apparently very, very big!

I feel that they could easily do a... I won’t say friendly, but a less hostile Reach clan that worships Hircine. I’ve never really felt that Hircine is evil, especially when compared to the likes of Bal. Likewise his worshippers wouldn’t have to attack people on sight.

The thing about Daedric Princes in general is that they often have more than one aspect to them, and the same goes for their followers. The Glenmoril Wyrd venerate the nature side to Hircine, while the Reachmen value his feral side and champion violence through hunting for sport. It really depends on the clan to be honest.
