Colovian Highlands & Skingrad make 2 of my RP mains come to life finally, this reveal had me shaking, prepurchased before it was half over. I'm so excited for everything coming & I can't wait to hit 'create character' on June 5th to start my new journey oml
Since your head canon was mentioned in the video, I wanted to say that what has me the most excited for this new chapter is the fact that we will finally be visiting an area where my main character was born. He is an Imperial, but he is also Colovian so it will be great to experience an area where he was raised as a child, and it might also help me work out a few more details about his past. I don't exactly role-play in the game, but I do love to give my characters backgrounds and relationships so every time a chapter is released, any of the lore that is explored helps me expand on that. Anyway, I'm ranting. Seriously, though, this is going to be a very exciting year. :)
I am excited for the new dlc and all. Im also glad that they try to make each zone look different. However, one thing im noticing more as time goes on, is all zone npcs look similar to each other. Their body language is similar to every other npc as well. Their voice is recognizable sometimes too. Not to mention, the wild animals and monsters are the same too, with some new additions from time to time. Im not sure if this is mentioned as much, but i hope future dlcs can get new face models and textures. It can work the underlying character creation/customizing tech as well within ESO.
Yea a valenwood dlc in full would be hard, there's not any additional territory for them like with high isle, the entirety of their province is in the base game, and falinesti is such a huge mystery and I wouldn't even imagine how they'd bring a walking city into eso and roaming around the base game areas like that.
What Political Intrigue of High Isle, ZOS said the chapter would be political intrigue except it was until Firesong threw that out the window and brought back another world ending doomsday scenario that fated the end of the world on a deathmatch between us and the threat.
Not only do you make these videos where we all can understand you're a wits and you're comedy is on a whole different level I always look forward to your next video😊
Annnd....THIS is why we need a gender-neutral personal pronoun in english, haha. We'll have to settle with either 'it' (doesnt sound right for a person) or 'they'...which is technically plural. :P
The thing with the Bosmer inclusion is I'm not seeing any new models or textures in their biome, it all looks like it was pulled out of 2014 Grahtwood with the same trees and snugpods. People want new furnishings, updated architecture and even foliage. Maybe I'm wrong and that's in there but if it's not I'd rather it just all be traditional West Weald. I think at the very least we can expect Ancestral Bosmer armor so that's nice.
I’m very pleased with the ambitions behind the Scribing system. Maybe now I won’t have to use the gear set that makes my holy Templar vomit poison out of his eyeballs every 3 seconds just to provide a group buff 🗿
Definitely feel the disappointment at scribing being behind a paywall. I've felt that about pretty much all expansion features. I stopped buying expansions when I realized I hadn't even gotten around to playing a few of the ones I had and not to mention the fact I hadn't even fully explored non-aldmeri zones. So I just started orsinium again after completing cadwells gold and will be continuing through the dlc and expansions as they appeared (except thieves guild and dark brotherhood because they're icky.) But all that still brings the problem that I don't get to enjoy these new features post-elsweyr because I don't have the money to just blow on expansions I might not play for a long while. It sucks trying to find inspiration for builds and 90% of builds are based around oakensoul and pale order.
Glad to see they have improved on the costumes somewhat... boy there for a while all the costumes looked like they found them dumpster diving!🤣🤣 Excited about Gold Road thx🎉
Maybe this will get me back into ESO. I skipped Necrom cause I was really burned out midway through High Isle. But from time to time I really get the itch to start playing again.
I wonder how this Prince will be dealt with. Considering she's not in the future games of Oblivion and Skyrim (I know she wasn't developed yet but) I'm hoping she gets a fate like Jyggalag, free and we can see her again in the future, since I just like the Princes so muccchhhh
All I wonder with the zones.. how many more will there be? I see like 10 more possible options on Tamriel + small islands and maybe few deadric realms. Would love to see whole map finished. But I guess it will take 10 more years
My only deterrent regarding Eso are the whole dlcs and addons. Like I'm someone who'd like to own all content but that would be way too expensive for me I think. but Gold Road seems cool so far
Kinda "meh" about the fact they had the liberty of creativity to make a brand new daedric prince design, something we have not seen since, well, almost forever, and they decided to just make her look like a normal person with tattoos.
By Azura, Byyyy Azura! Finally someone who makes proper summaries about patches/Dlc thanks. Somehow I don't feel like looking for information piecemeal, especially after the last chapters are rather disappointing for me personally. So maybe there will finally be something that will force me not to devote the whole year to housing only.
i saw you in this video and thank you for giving me so much information everytime. your voice and pace makes me calm and i can listen forever.. warmest regards
Imagine if a skill style wasn't limited to colour but changed the appearance entirely. Like the damn matriarch model, I would grind something for a hundred hours to be able to change that thing into something smaller.
As a hard-core bosmer fan I'm bummed we arnt getting some falinesti wood elf galore chapter. But I'm grateful for at least SOMETHING. And I've often thought about the valenwood swallowing up cyrodiil. So it's wild that's what's actually happening
Ah yes can't wait to customise my favorite spammable skill, mage light 😩 fr tho can't wait to finally customise resto staff abilities so u don't feel like a wannabe templar no matter what healer class u play.
Soon as I found out Spellcrafting (Scribing) was happening ON TOP of cosmetic options... I could only mutter "thank fuck...". Looking forward to this year very much and this added another huge reason.
I can pretty much guarantee that this new system will be monetized to hell and back, especially the skill styles, there's no way a company as predatory with MT's as them won't put almost all of them in the crown store for absurd prices.
@@SekiberiusWelkesh I get the negativity but they said on screen it'd all be earnable in game. That said the system itself is only unlocked via the chapter purchase, so you're partially correct - you're going to have to pay something.
Great video as always, Arttea!! For me, this expansion looks awesome. As someone who is off and on with this game, I really do like where the game is going. If they keep giving us more good earnable content in the game. That's only better for us players. So, I sincerely hope they keep going down this road.
As an Red(EP) Imperial and a PvP player I am LOVING 2024, a diamond anniversary crate, a imperial colovial area, scribing, New housing tool and then a pvp update! I expected nothing and somehow gained everything. ZOS BLESS US IMPERIALS WITH A RED DIAMOND/EMPORER RADIANT APEX MOUNT IN THE DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY CRATES!!! Literally got 16k seals ready for if they bring one xD im gonna save all of my gold and rip the Whitestrakes events for gold too so i can get everything in these upcoming crates :)
I’m not gonna lie, I don’t really understand how there’s a new Dedric prince. I get there are Dedric princes we haven’t seen yet in any of the games but they are at least mentioned somewhere. A new one just doesn’t make any sense because this is the earliest game in the series.
Make still no sense a deadric whatsoever maybe - but an immortal daedric princess forgotten never ihmo devs running out of ideas pr says make samething new samething catchy ...@@Liohlon
There's only one possible conclusion for this story for it to not absolutely destroy the continuity of the lore, and that's for this new Daedric prince to get deleted from existence again by the end.
You don't understand how the daedric prince of forbidden knowledge kept a secret and then (I assume) managed to make it AGAIN a secret once word got out briefly ages in the past? Doesn't seem like much of a suspension of disbelief to me considering all the other things that have gone on in Elder Scrolls lore over the years.
we already have one with the warden gray bear. people have been asking for that for a while though, mainly to morph sorc's pets to something less purple and ugly
hyped for the new zone (and fennorian's return!), but not for the new daedric prince. there are still some existing princes who deserve a proper spotlight

ESO has now become paid to win got to love it this game has been unbalance and has so many other problems and there now adding a mechanic they now have maintain and look over now not to mention how this is unfair to the people that don't want the DLC so are they just going to be at disadvantage now because they don't have this DLC I have high doubt this is going to be balance on test servers locking a mechanic behind pay wall that is going to have a huge impact on the game and how people build there classes don't think is right but a what do i know right LOL🤣🤣
I legit dare you to have a heal off with me !! I’m willing to bet I can build a far better healer then you cause I’m far better I’m eso’s chosen son or daughter bring the smoke coward you won’t !
Red Mountain guilds on xbox NA are full of great people. We dont all agree, but we are friendly and respectful :) try embers (free) or ashes if u want a competitive sales experience
It’s because it is meh 😅, if you like the story then that’s fine but other than that they haven’t done anything meaningful in the game in a long time. AI combat is boring and just grindy there’s no actual challenge to anything in the game

Yessss! Cant wait! Awesome recap Arttea!! Lets go!
Arttea is definitely a Thalmor, she said by the eight.
Old vid but just got into eso so love the review
Glad to see they have improved on the costumes somewhat... boy there for a while all the costumes looked like they found them dumpster diving!🤣🤣 Excited about Gold Road thx🎉
I hope they give us a necromancer companion
Maybe this will get me back into ESO. I skipped Necrom cause I was really burned out midway through High Isle. But from time to time I really get the itch to start playing again.
I wonder how this Prince will be dealt with.

owning all the content is expensive yeah. best bet is getting eso plus for the month you're planning to play
❤
Kinda "meh" about the fact they had the liberty of creativity to make a brand new daedric prince design, something we have not seen since, well, almost forever, and they decided to just make her look like a normal person with tattoos.
If they didn’t do that, what else could the cringe role players cling onto?
Hi, if was to buy the gold road dlc would that unlock every single chapter/dlc before it like necrom? I only buy eso plus so fancy a big dlc purchase
highly entertaining as usual - thnx :)
Thanks for the recap!

companions in q4 means you cant play with them through the chapter 😕
Thank you for the recap
I do wish there was cross save :(
All I need to know is will scribing affect lycanthropy and its skill tree!?~
I'm always down for more Imperial content. lol
You forgot to mention the part when Kira spoke and everyone started calling her mommy
We really need after this to take a couple years off of expansions and just make a new game with a new engine because the age is REALLY showing
i saw you in this video and thank you for giving me so much information everytime. your voice and pace makes me calm and i can listen forever.. warmest regards
I am a simple gamer. I see a single mention of a vampire, I spend money.
Imagine if a skill style wasn't limited to colour but changed the appearance entirely. Like the damn matriarch model, I would grind something for a hundred hours to be able to change that thing into something smaller.
At the pre brief event that I attended, the devs said that the styling system could eventually be used to change pet skins!
I just want the whole map to be filled
Once again the edits are on point 👌😂
Great vid🎉....Just a thought, can you get a wearable nose chain face decoration in game? The one on your character avatar looks wicked.
i cant believe arttea missed a dad joke opportunity at 0:04 by saying by the eight instead of by the eight-een
Holy shit Matt Firor, havent seen that guy since the mmo documentary Second Skin he got old
Noice
Im hoping the dark brotherhood gets a cameo.
Wishful thinking, but I'd like a companion that's part of the brotherhood as well.
Oohh yeahh, it was already amazing that in blackwood the brotherhood came back for a couple of quests . The brotherhood dlc was very well done
Dang. I had to remind myself that I actually watched the reveal. It didn’t leave much of an impression I guess.
The chapter itself will be same as every other chapter . 6 world boss's 6 delves so on . Its the scribing u want
Ed Stark aka Papa Moll
10 years later. No minimap added 💀 I love eso, I use mods, but still, I want the officially option to turn on minimap or not.
Ed Stark sold the shit out of this DLC.
He really did man, his enthusiasm was contagious 😅
He went head first on it!
The memeing in edit is strong and I love it
Love your editing style :)
Getting a whole new Deadric prince retconned into existence before Jyggalag gets any time in the spotlight is lowkey criminal. Greymarch DLC when ZOS?
I skipped Necrom, but I'll definitely be coming back for this!
As a hard-core bosmer fan I'm bummed we arnt getting some falinesti wood elf galore chapter. But I'm grateful for at least SOMETHING. And I've often thought about the valenwood swallowing up cyrodiil. So it's wild that's what's actually happening

Nope, I meant the eight 😌
I am not sold on this expansion... doesn't feel like $60 for me. I don't think I will purchase this one and just wait around to see more.
Crazy how the fan base gets led with the ol’ carrot on a stick for another year to be led into the trash can that is ESO
I bought this on pc now. Use to play on Xbox.
Sssooso excited for more bosmer love!! Crossing my fingers for a wood elf companion so my vinedusk warden can have a friend as nutty as her lol
Can I just say... Ithelia is mommy.
and I haven't done necrom story yet.
I remember being called a dumbass and downvoted years ago for saying that ESO will eventually sell ability skins. The clock advances.
we already have one with the warden gray bear. people have been asking for that for a while though, mainly to morph sorc's pets to something less purple and ugly
They will sell every little thing they can make money off on this game without ever fixing the actual problems in the game
I have this flimsy dream they'll give us Eveli as a companion. Yeah, I've set myself up for disappointment.
Ahhh sweet sweet voice
Grimoires as in runes from wow season of discovery… but betterr…. Another thingbthat wow can learn from eso
why the f they cant improve the animation, weight of the weapon and hit impacts... why does it look 2008 still?
