During BE3 (Bethesda’s Annual E3 Showcase), we got an all-too-brief look at the two major DLC packs coming up next in Elder Scrolls Online: Horns of the Reach and Clockwork City. The first is a dungeon-based DLC, and the second is a large story-line driven exploration of Sotha Sil’s famed lost city. Today we’re unpacking these announcements and offering our thoughts.

    I hope they make housing more social by allowing other people to add their own furniture if they like to.

    Just released an expansion and already talking about DLC, little odd to me.

    Well, Morrowind was announced like 5 months ago, so if you assume that there will be new content every 3 months, there should be an announcement about every three months. If course, data miners kinda forced their hand announcing Morrowind....

    There is so much to do in ESO.  Getting more content is never a bad thing.

    It is bad as they ask for money even for patches, meaning they don't release full content and sell you bits of patches often. In the end you pay more money than sub games.

    Don't you get access to all DLCs when you sub?

    This is from their Steam page: "The Elder Scrolls® Online: Tamriel Unlimited™, the latest chapter of the award-winning series, brings the legendary experience online for the first time. Explore the vast world with friends or embark upon the adventure alone - the choices you will make will shape your destiny. No game subscription required."
    So if you don't pay sub you pay for game(buy2play) + expac + every patch(very oten) and still you have an limited account, you don't have everything a sub has which also has to buy the game+expac+15$ a month.

    edit: They started as sub game but failed bad and turned to buy to play meaning why pay sub for a failed game?

    cause the game is not a failed game...technically to be a failed game it would have to be shutdown or at the least not succeeding like it is now.   Very bad Spock logic.

    How do you have a limited account if you pick up the DLC? Besides the crafting bag, what else are you limited to? I'm starting to think you've never played this game if you actually think that's true. BTW, I have no problem paying for the DLC.

    I don't have to have a sub and I have full access to the game at anytime. I do sub, and the 1500 crowns I get a month for subbing are used to buy the DLC.

    So? Then subscribe and problem solved. You get access to all content when subscribing.

    No. Only the DLC still called DLC. When they take a couple of DLC, bundle it and call it Chapter the sub doesn't give you access to that.

    I like the direction. The monetization model is annoying, but not much different than traditional sub + pay for expansion model. Actually, in this game you can not sub and only pay for expansion/dlc which is likely much cheaper overall than the old model.

    Keep moving in the direction they are going, and at some point I'll probably buy in (I already bought the base game on sale a while back). Basically, move away from RvR and towards content and interesting MMO systems and I'm all about it.

    Bullshit.... I sub and you get access to everything except for the Xpac which would be Morrowind itself. I bought Morrowind and now have access to that as well.

    Or in simpler terms, when you sub currently you get everything except for Morrowind. 

    @ConstantineMerus He's responding to you not to answer your question but to grandstand -- once again -- about the fact that he doesn't like the way Zen rolls out content.

    Agreed. Zeni are doing an awesome job with ESO overall. Next to other current MMOs on the market now, I think it's one of the only ones that truly deserves having "RPG" in its description.

    They're running circles around a certain other MMO that rhymes with Spinal Manta Sea Fourteen, in terms of quantity of content, variety of content and overall quality of experience. It actually *feels* like you're in Tamriel. Everything is internally consistent, everything is rooted in ESO lore - there's no cheesy real world, "wink-nod", "get it??", cultural references. ESO's writers don't need to resort to that. They have actual imaginations and respect the world they're creating.

    "Oh FFS" he meant they already had this content done and ready to go, but of course they would cut it out from the expansion and sell as separated DLC to milk it.
    Of course. Clockwork City is as much part of the Morrowind story as Vivec and the Morag Tong. Its physical location is even in Vvanderfell.

    But hey, the "don't question the hype" police is always strong in this forum.

    Right because pulling content to sell as additional DLC never happens lol.
