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 consider Eastmarch and the Rift to be "Eastern Skyrim", so they could have a "Central Skyrim", but I really don't believe they want to close the gaps between Alliance territories yet. Each one borders on Cyrodiil, but none of the others, and I believe they'll only fill in those parts right at the end. Since they've introduced Blackreach as part of this chapter, there's a lot more map available underground.

It's still possible they'll expand to Whiterun and the Pale, and leave a narrow gap, like the one between Anequina and Pelletine. After all, the Throat of the World is a decent barrier between the holds. Further north, it's harder to guess. Since Winterhold won't fall into the sea for a long time, that could remain a independent buffer. Maybe the Mages Guild keeps it neutral?
