Correct. They're marketing it as an 'expansion' rather than DLC so it won't be covered by ESO+. A little cheeky if you ask me, though it seems to be a pretty huge slab of content so it likely cost quite a lot to develop.

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

That would be a "No." Cash/credit card purchases only, or they wouldn't be having a "Pre-Order."

Well that's a bummer. Doesn't make a lot difference to this one honestly (don't foresee a problem affording it), but one reason Khajiit got + was because he was under the impression new DLC would be automatically included.

Just from what I saw in the vid = most def cost a bundle to develop. They are touting it to be as big as a new/separate game might be. And I haven't even played all of ESO yet, so will probably hold off on buying it for a sale - but will put it on my gift "Wish List" too, since my Birthday is coming up in February, lol. (Hint hint to my sons...)

DLC are included; but expansions - especially one this huge = it is the size of a separate game. It will make Wrothgar look like a spit in the ocean from what they are saying.

Also, this gave me a chuckle:

Pete Hines, about Vvardenfell

Elder Scrolls fans give you no quarter on anything.

So true! We love too hard to give quarter.


Warden class Warden class Warden class!!! *happy dance* Jerric is more than ready to re-roll. Frost magic! BEAR!!!

If anything the timing encourages me to drop Crowns on housing, since the Morrowind expansion makes me more committed than ever to this game. It’s down to picking out which version to pre-order.


That street scene of Balmora! Thanks for posting those, hazmick!

[Arcry]

So glad its coming in June too~ Nice lil early present on my birth month. That Mecha monster is gonna look great next to Alduin. .. Wish I would have managed to get Bal but I preordered the wrong Collectors edition

Guess this one will check steam and see if he can preorder when he gets home.

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Oh ma gaah, Khajiit's Reachwitch is going to want that skull face paint!

[monkeyemoness]

Welp, looks like I gotta buy crowns for the cosmetic packs. I've been waiting for body/face markings for a while now.

Also, what I don't understand is why have Nibenese furniture when all the Imperial houses are Colovian. I mean I guess a lot of them use Nibenese style but still.

[Acadian]

Thanks, hazmick! The black cat, Redguard overdress and perhaps dutchess personality look interesting.

I'm a bit frustrated by the overuse of the pirate pants cut on so many of the newer pants outfits - as flattering as a floursack when you actually have a figure. . . .

This one agrees. Give us something sleeker!

Actually, Mira has been wanting a nice nordish dress for when she is out and about in chilly places like Eastmarch or the Rift. The Imperial dresses are nice but not really suited for Skyrims climate.

[Grits]

Thanks, hazmick! I was just wondering what the Crown store would offer next.

The Homestead Imperial styles terminology confuses me. What are they calling the Gold Coast style these days? It looked like that’s what they used in the pre-furnished Colovian houses, not matching the house style at all. At least they have named the areas in the Nibenese pack description. That should help clear things up. I have seen people calling the Gold Coast style Nibenese. Or maybe the Homestead houses are going to be called Nibenese now? Time will tell I suppose.

Nice to see a cat for straight-up sale, even for a short period. I’ll spend cash to turn Darnand into a crazy cat lady mage.

Acadian, I would also like to see some svelte trouser choices. Elke does not care if her pants could be mistaken for a tent, but Lildereth is not coming over until she has something nice to wear. Specifically something nice for her cute Elven backside.

[hazmick]

Agreed. Haa-Rei loves baggy clothes, but Cirinwe wants something a little sleeker.

The Crown Store seems to always have more Imperial and Redguard clothes than you can shake a longsword at - I would love to see more racial styles.

The black cat with the red collar !!!! I have wanted that since it came out for the Japanese players!!!! I wonder how much it will be?

And the housing packs = really hope they will have sets of other race's furniture available, not just the Nibanese stuff - and it makes me wonder if they will be offering different racial sets per month or something. Like maybe we'd have to wait months to buy the racial sets we want?

I hope they will still offer buying individual furnishings like they have been doing on the PTS, because I prefer to pick and choose my own items rather than buying in bundles like that.

Thanks for the update, Hazmick !!!

Interesting, he said "classes" in that message. Do you folks think they plan to add other classes besides the Warden or is he just speaking generally about what chapters could contain?

Oooh, I wonder what the "Content based" DLC in December will be? Clockwork City? Or will that be next year's "Chapter?"

They have a need for a better Mystic Archer build; and I really would like to see some of the other Classes able to summon combat pets in this game - or a way to balance out Nightblades between their stam and magic needs without them getting so squishy they can't survive a hit.

[Grits]

I took that to mean other classes might happen. I think it will be a while, however. Balancing five classes against each other will be interesting.

I like the move to expansion-sized Chapters along with regular DLC. Maybe some day we will even see a separate PvE Cyrodiil without PvP messing up the fun. To me that part of the map is pretty much wasted now.

That's one of the things I've been asking for since day one - such a waste of a zone, and it wouldn't take much work on Zeni's part to make it PvE only (probably).

[mALX]

I've only had to PvP a few times while down there, mostly just been jumped and killed while fighting environmental enemies in a dungeon - but I've only been killed about 7-8 times or so, and I've killed 8 Players too = but still managed to get every skyshard down there except one behind Aldmeri gates. That is a whopping number of added skill points, and was well worth the trip.
