Tamriel Rebuilt aren't doing anything for Skyrim. We are the Skyrim province mods.

That is quite epic and unique!

Alright, so watching the trailer. I think Blacklight might be included. Let's look at it for a second. 00:06 it looks like we are floating into Raven Rock... coming from the South almost South East... meaning the boat had to take off from a port in the South/Southeast. And if it's Fort Frostmoth... that's further east so... same point. At 00:22 we see that again, we are approaching from the South. The last we are approaching is the dry side of the Island, the south side... meaning we are coming from the south. At 00:24 we see completely dry land... and Red Mountain in the background... it's VERY possible this doesn't take place on Solstheim at all but Morrowind. At 00:28 we see Red Mountain again, however the city has a tree with snow on it, giving the idea this does takes place on Solstheim.

ah the morrowind fans, still reaching for that past glory with present graphics haha...I highly doubt we'll see much of morrowind outside of solstheim, the land is too big to squeeze much of it in an already seemingly meaty dlc

That's most likely the east, given the presence of the Skaal Village (use a HD version of the trailer and you'll see it, ritght under those strange, flashing clouds).

Alright... approaching form the east... uh... why would we be approaching from the east...?

Why not? It's a camera thing, it's not that we are approaching with a ship like in the scene with Raven Rock.

Ya, I guess. So with the ship... the only logical port you would be docking at would be on the west side of the Island, if we are coming straight from Skyrim. I guess that's possible.

Yeah, I think it's very likely the scene with the ship is showing us the approach on Raven Rock. There are even some buldings reminiscent of Bloodmoon (besides the Redoran stuff, of course).
But I don't get your point why all this is pointing towards Blacklight being included.

If it is Raven Rock... then we are coming from the south right? It looks like we are turning in from the south east. If we are coming from Skyrim why would we be coming from that direction?

It really doesn't matter if we get Blacklight or not... this is to me, the best DLC we can get. If we get to explore the entire Island. This is awesome.

Ah, okay. Rather slim, but I hope you are right.

It's the most promising DLC so far, that's for sure.

This is actually the...perfect section. :confused:

The only thing I notice in the trailer is that red mountain looks too close from there. So maybe northern Morrowind anyway :-)

Here's to hoping.

In any case it think this will be a great DLC

Let's be a bit pessimistic and admit that the roads leading to other provinces (four in total) are there only for aesthetic purposes. But WHY is there a closed gate in Riften? Behind it, there's a paved road leading to some important locations in Skyrim and then heading into the Morrowind province, possibly to Blacklight. I never read a meaningful explanation for that. It looks like a HUGE tease for some future additional content. If this has been dropped sometime during development or if it's still to be implemented, it's anyone guess...

If you go to the college of winterhold and clear skies the area, you can see vvardenfell. It doesnt look that far if your standing on the top of the college. And Solstheim should seem really close.

Pretty shore? Velothis has nice shores :-)

I hope we get to see them.

As for seeing Morrowind with Skyrim graphics. I believe we're already getting a bit of that on Solstheim. I want to see what Velothis look like. Not Vvardenfel.

hmm, I'll have to check that out

I can see Sosltheim but not Vvanderfell. The only point from which I can see Red Mountain is Stendarr's Beacon.

Near HM shrine in Oblivion, there was a long mountain path that spanned a decent range of the northern map iirc. I also remember it trailing off going even further north. I think that lead to Skyrim. That's the only road I know of leading out of Cyrodil. But I like how they added roads and gates around Skyrim. I've found like 5 of them. Just kinda neat. Allows immersion I guess.

There was also Pale Pass. But I seem to remember that route being blocked off by a ruin of some sort.

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 2:01 pm

I wasn't aware of one south of Helgen. I thought it was all mountain between the gate at Riften and gate at Falkreath?

Nope. At the very beginning of the game when you are on the carriage with Ulfric and Ralof, you are on the path that leads from Helgen to Cyrodiil. You can go back and check it out after you escape.

Really? Thats cool. I wonder if there are any other landmarks you could see from different places on the map. Imma check it out.

I really really hope we can go to Blacklight.
