Morrowind (or any other province) is too big to be a dlc.

i hope the next DLC is horse armour! lol


whatever the next DLC it better be good!

Again... Horse Armor? LOL!

Out of everything else, people want horse armor, so darn bad. LOL!

Would be just 1 cool thing, for a DLC I guess. Our friggen horses die too fast, and do need a bit of protection, for sure!

Uh... Not really. Excluding TR mod for Morrowind, which isn't official or canon, we haven't already been to Morrowind. We've only been to the Vvardenfell District, which would be like saying Skyrim is a complete game with just The Pale open for exploration.

That said, I still think Roscrea or Orsinium are better candidates for Expansions... Though I'd certainly love to see Morrowind's mainland.

People always speculate...


Why in gods name would they make a Morrowind DLC?
How could you even assume that there would be one, JUST BECAUSE of a stupid anniversary?


The game came out a WHILE ago. Move on, or don't waste your time on THIS forum.. There are plenty of Morrowind forums...

I don't want to rule out this speculation.. But when they are saying we are not saying it will be used or not used usually means they are using it.. Werewolves example.. They said they wouldnt comment and one even said that there will no Werewolves.. And we get Werewolves

there is also a gate leading to hammerfell to

Just saw this article in the latest edition of Xbox Magazine!

(Word for Word...)

ON THE HORIZON
I've been playing sky room for a while now and I've been wondering about DLC. while looking up info on the web I came across a rather interesting glitch that I ended up trying out; the result was me looking down on Cyrodiil And Morrowind. Could this be the foundation for future additional content? - Shane

We say: Funny you ask, Shane. Just as you wrote in to us, Bethesda's Todd Howard confirmed in an interview at DICE that says, you were looking at Morrowind and Cyrodiil. Unfortunately, he went on to say they're not necessarily indicators of planned DLC: "The reason they are there - and I will not say if we are or are not using them in the future - is when we first built the landmass for Skyrim we knew we were going to have these tall mountains. We have views early in the project where you can see into the [neighboring] province from the other game. We needed to have something [there]... [T]he thinking is, maybe we'll use it one day, but our larger worry was, 'I'm going to climb up on top of a mountain and look that way. What will I be able to see there?' We try to cover all those angles as much as we can."

Key Quotes:
1.) "and I will not say if we are or are not using them in the future"
2.) "[T]he thinking is, maybe we'll use it one day"

So, there you go guys! It's a possibility.

Agreed.

I think the Idea of being able to see the province in the distance is nice, but actually returning there? No.

Morrowind has come and gone. Oblivion may have ruined the whole 'combo' of the games, but Skyrim sort of filled in the gap. I would much rather buy morrowind to play that, instead of playing it in Skyrim...

its an expansion pack so it won't be a province

an island or a deadric realm are better possibilities

It would be stupid to rule anything out.

I was there when everybody ruled out the possibility of werewolves. I said (and I quote) "They ain't said nuthin concrete, we won't know till we play, yo" Yeah, we all know how it turned out in the end.

We all won't know till Bethesda shows/says their DLC location/plan. Let me reiterate: It would be stupid to rule anything out, considering we are not privy to what Bethesda is actually doing.

Well yes, it would be stupid to rule something THAT minor out.

When it involves adding another game into a game that is FAR more advanced, then it can be ruled out. I would forever HATE bethesda if they actually added that, because I would have wasted the 20$ I spent on my Morrowind game.

Now.. when it involves adding a new Potion / Skill / Item / Quest, then it's MUCH easier to assume that it's possible, because it's not game-breaking.

People don't want Morrowind (the third game) to be added. They just want Morrowind (the province) [or a portion of it at least] as DLC, because we've never actually been there.

And a new province [any of them] (which is only new land, models and textures) is not all that far out there in terms of possibilities.

I'll wait for Bethesda to say something about their DLC plans for their most successful game ever. I'll say it again [at least until we have something concrete]: Don't rule anything out. Bethesda, at least to me, seems like they got something big up their money lined sleeves.

Keep in mind what they've said about DLC size. They said "Big" as in Fallout-3 style. Point Lookout was the biggest DLC for Fallout 3, but was still smaller than Shivering Isles IIRC (it's been a while since I went through them). They aren't going to try and fit an entire province into something roughly the same size. They can still do a lot, which is why I think an island expansion, elongated questline, Daedric realm, or Orsinium (props to whoever first suggested that in this thread) is what we'll end up with.

Nova Orsinium, is an Orcish city province located within Tamriel. It featured prominently in the The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall as the Orcish capital city.

Got that from elder scrolls wiki.

If it has already been featured in Elder Scrolls Daggerfall, then that's kind of the same concept, of a game played in the past. So, if your saying to add Orsinium, then why not Morrowind? Both were featured. What makes Morrowind a better choice, is that it's viewable, and confirmed to be there. All that needs to happen, is open those 2 gates... I hope!

Morrowind is perfect for DLC. It's changed a lot over the past few hundred years. Returning to a post apocalyptic/volcanic morrowind would be amazing and feel completely new.

Also keep in mind that Bethesda, in the lead up till Skyrim's release, has been rather sly. They mislead everybody in what was going on with werewolves. In addition, Bethesda [Todd Howard] has a penchant for weasel words.

They (and their publisher) are also sitting on a ton of cash. We may not get an entire province, but there are relatively detailed paths (which are inaccessible) leading in to Morrowind, and High Rock (or something). It is anybodies guess at this point, but I wouln't discount partial access to a province/s for DLC at this stage.

I could see bethesda put the western side of mainland morrowind(That includes the city Blacklight) in an expansion. We've haven't seen it yet and there's a gate leading to that direction(and yes I know that there are gates that lead to every province next to Skyrim).

I think what many of you are forgetting is that htye said they were going to produce more expansion pack sized DLC instead of smaller DLC so I do believe we will see Morrowind, High Rock, and face the Thalmor somewhere in Cyridil and maybe even beyond if the DLC does well. I for one am dying for just any word on when it will be coming out and how large it will be.

Also if a single modder can recreate landmasses just from the lore posted in less than a month then Bethesda Studios should be able to do vastly more! Just saying that with their resources it should be a simple matter to create these expansive landmasses and I would happily pay 20 dollars per expansion.

Also remember that GTA4 had multi gig expansions so if Skyrim does need that much memory it is not out of the realm of possibilites. Additionally most of the mechanics have already shipped so it would just be new character models, new attack/defence data, and locatoinal mapping. While it could be expansive I don't see it being bank breaking.

I almost think that Morrowind, and Cyridiil might be 2 different expansion packs. Why? Well, Todd Howard confirmed that Morrowind and Cyridiil were viewable from Skyrim. So, if there are 2 different land-masses, then could we be not only onto a Morrowind expansion, but also see Cyridiil as well?

I mean, why would they not have viewable landmasses for the other provences? You guys mentioned Hammerfell , Orsinium, and a few others. They don't even have those lands viewable, so to have it pop out of nowhere would seem odd...

Could we see possibly Cryridiil as an expansion?

What do you guys think?

Good anolysis. You forgot... Orsinium, a small mountain kingdom nested between Highrock, Hammerfell and Skyrim.

There is a road west of Falkreath, with a gate, heading to Hammerfell (possibly to Elinhir, the Hammerfell Town closest to the Skyrim south border). What if, before reaching this province, we pass through Orsinium?

There's also the closed gate south of Helgen which leads to Cyrodil via the pale pass. Is it there only for story purposes? Will we be seeing again old Bruma and, in the distance, the White Gold Tower (which is already into the game, albeit it cannot be seen from anywhere in Skyrim, not even from the top of the Throat of the World!)

Well Morrowind become a wasteland and it's easier to implement to the game since they won't have to make many cities or civil population. I personaly prefer new lands implanted to Skyrim land; not a magical gate or a ship.

This month we'll get a small DLC, like todd said, or an expansion's announcement.. And i'm pretty sure that we are not going to see new provinces, it never happened

In the months prior to Skyrim's release... Mr. Howard strongly hinted at wanting to do something High Rock related. Anybody remember that?
