Ughhhhhhh, ESO, why do you make us wait so freaking long for new Fennorian Ravenwatch content? OK, fine, yes, I miss them all, but especially him, lol. Met Fennorian with my mag Arcanist when I was in Bangkorai and decided to do Unhallowed Grave since I was there, then got antsy to go back to Western Skyrim so switched to my bosmer nightblade werewolf to go revist my favorite 🥰
Miss him 💔 Is it just me or does it seem totally obvious that they could tie in Lyris (Who has totally been to Apocrypha before, as she said in Markarth) and the Ravenwatch to future Herma Mora stories, thank youuuu?? They have been showing that Ravenwatch loading screen constantly. The crown store has a bunch of Dark Heart of Skyrim merch again. They used to show the Lyris load screen a lot before dropping Necrom...it feels like they're hinting.... Following the events of Markarth they could entreat ol' Hermaeus Mora to help them with a certain someone with a certain dark heart situation in exchange for joining the vestige on their merry journey to save the world, this time *for* a daedric prince in exchange for knowledge and power to help, etc, etc. Would be a fun time, please, please, please, Bethesda et al. 🙏

So I want to start this off by saying, ESO is my FAVORITE game. I literally have not invested as much time, effort and money (literal hundreds) into a game as much as this one. I’m also aware that my expectations are my own responsibility. Not to mention, things go on behind the scenes all the time that we don’t know about. Like maybe voice actors weren’t available or were sick or something… and that I completely understand.
But with all of that being said, I have some thoughts. (And want to hear from you guys too!!! And I’ll TOTALLY untag this if the post upsets anyone I just wanted to hear what other people are thinking too?)
Personally, I feel a little bit let down. This is my favorite chapter of the game and I love the story very much.
Adusa and the mad scientist vampire lab furniture set being added during the event were a fine idea, why not? But a lot of people got Adusa from the crown store last year in October. So what’s new for those people? What’s new for the returning audience?
This is not a big Ravenwatch centric post (not the point at all here!) but Fennorian was a part of the main story line and we didn’t get any new dialogue from him? (Even after getting a mention about him from Gwendis during the Zeal of Zenithar event just a few months ago?) And nothing from Svana, or Lyris either? Hell, nothing from even Maugh or Mjolen?
Not to mention the Impresario feels very… empty? All she has is the fragment stuff from the year long event (very fair to include those!), the companion upgrades, group healing kit, and a clothing motif set that (from the top of my head) I don’t even recognize? I mean I figured we would get something Greymoor related that we would recognize or be excited for? Maybe some kind of Ravenwatch memento or vampire memento or a bat pet or something?
And as for the event prologue quest I personally didn’t remember Mel. (Very happy for any Mel fans though!) I thought we were going to get something with Svana or someone in it? But you can’t even play the quest more than just once? I thought it was going to be a daily thing, so I was at least looking forward to that. But you can’t. It’s a one and done kind of deal.
I also don’t think we get any kind of XP boost or extra gold for completing quests in Western Skyrim. But I was waiting for that too? I started replaying the main quest on a new character and I’m pretty sure there was no incentive to replay the questline or for NEW players to pick it up?
So I’m just kind of wondering what the point of the event is, if there’s NOTHING new? No little easter eggs, or new dialogue or anything? And like, I’m aware that this all sounds kind of spoiled and bratty but I’m not mad. Just kind of sad because… what’s the point? Why do I want to play it? That sounds rough but when you’re writing a paper for class, professors ask you those same very basic questions. Who is your audience? Who are you trying to get to participate? and what’s the big WHY? For this, the audience (target or not) is going to be a LOT of people who have played through Greymoor before. It’s people who have most, if not all, of the dungeons and world bosses and delves completed. What’s NEW for all of us? We hear the Dark Heart of Skyrim event and we don’t think of JUST dailies (that we’ve probably already played through) and a pretty empty Impresario list. I’ve been excited for this event ever since it was first announced.
I’m also afraid that ESO might be using this to test audience interest in the zone/storyline. Like what if they wanted to see if we’re still invested in these characters and this area before starting/releasing something new including all of it? I definitely see participation falling off as the event comes to a close. Already fewer people are playing it than the first two days. At least when I was online anyway.
This just had the potential to be so cool and instead I feel kind of let down. And like I said, my expectations are my own responsibility, but… yeahh??
Sorry for ranting on main… I just don’t really get it and wondered if anyone else kind of felt that way?

The Skyrim Sexyman poll is bringing tesblr together in a way that I have never before witnessed. Thank you @incorrectskyrimquotes - it was about time we came together over something meaningful: Videogame Sexyman.
I feel like there need to be honorary titles for runner ups, like “Most Babygirl”, “Poor Little Meow Meow”, and maybe “Girboss”.
