    if this this turns out to be free to play

    then I will probably install it just to futz around with the character creator, play a little while and then get bored and forget about it

    like fucking really one of the factions is nords, dunmer, and argonians?
    I don't think there's been a point in tamrielic history where any two of those have gotten along, let alone all three at once



    okay now I think I'm done, unless I start thinking about that kagouti again

    I really don't want them to release a pallid MMO imitation of a series I love that isn't even directed by Howard
    If it's any consolation, it's supposed to be set a bit after Daggerfall and won't affect the main series at all.

    I thought it was supposed to be late 2nd era. So hundreds of years before any of the games took place.

    wait what? Where'd you get that info? And this is supposed to be during the height of the Tribunal? I just...I just don't know anymore...

    they talk weird
    they come from what is basically a swampy version of hell
    nobody really knows how they breed but it is rumored they have a symbiotic relationship with some creepy elder god-sorta tree things
    they change genders regularly

    Nords have enough problems with outsiders without having to wrap their head around the idea of a bunch of tree-queer lizard-homos

    well I dunno how regular it actually is but argonian gender is referred to in the context of "life-phases", which seems to imply they spend a length of time as one and then decide it's getting old and they rearrange their anatomy through some unexplained natural mechanism and so forth

    it doesn't really come up at all, as one might imagine

    Might be I'm mixing up the times. I thought Daggerfall took place in the 2nd era but I may well be wrong.

    Nothing except the title and how 360 gets it a month before everyone else (god fucking damn it Bethesda) until E3.

    It's kind of a pain in the ass, really. I'd much rather they'd have just waited to announce it with some actual info at E3 instead of this pathetic amount.

    That'd be pretty cool!
    It's got something to do with Snow Elves too though. Wonder how big this DLC is going to be. I'm hoping for it to be closer to Shivering Isle size than Fallout 3 DLC size.

    They straight up said that it's going to be the size of an expansion pack, like SI or Tribunal.

    Like directly? I know they said it's going to be pretty bigger, but I didn't know they're likened it directly to SI and Tribunal.
