Todd Howard Explains Morrowind in Skyrim

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

This was obvious to me since the first time I heard about Morrowind and Cyrodiil in Skyrim.

 

[Denamic]

It's going to be used eventually anyway, because mods.

 

[Ralen-Sharr]

Maybe they could patch in the distant silhouettes and cries of some delightful cliff racers beyond the mountains of Cyrodiil, so that the player feels no regret for not being able to explore further into Dunmer...

By the nine, this a thousand times. Their cries still haunt my dreams.

Good news. You know that fellow prisoner in the ship when you start Morrowind? Some of the fluff dialogue in Oblivion shows that he wiped out the entire cliff racer species.

Remember how the cliff racers actually wiped out dragons in Dunmer? Yeah, I don't believe their claims of the death of cliff racers!

They prolly annoyed the dragons to suicide.... but that other prisoner was granted sainthood for wiping out the cliffracers.

I'd agree that he deserved it.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Figured it was something like that [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything].

It is a nice attention to detail though. Maybe modders will do something with it.

After all, modders have added Elsweyr [http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=25023] and Valenwood [http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=22555] to Oblivion. And that game didn't have the terrain outside of Cyrodiil set up for it.

WHY DIDN'T I INSTALL THOSE MODS? ELSEWYR LOOKS BEAUTIFUL D:

Someone better make something like that for Skyrim, but I bet it'll take at least a year or so. Bethesda bringing the creator kit out late really ticked me off

 

[Aethren]

Bethesda's clearly going to do an expansion pack later that uses the mainland of Morrowind, with the eruption of Red Mountain used as a cop-out to explain why players won't be returning to Vvardenfell.

You heard it here first.

 

[digital warrior]

Its simple if thy wont use it the modders will. Which reminds me time to lose another few weeks of my life to new mods.

 

[Adeptus Aspartem]

Humanity just like it's conspiracy theories. That's just how we are.

Captcha: I'm now off to the "Gourmand Siatar". Like a Sir.

 

[grigjd3]

Bethesda may not use them, but what do you want to bet modders will?

 

[Random Argument Man]

Futur secret DLC?

 

[draythefingerless]

i was actually planning, if i had the time, to make sth beyond the imperial gates in riften. the area just outside the borders is actually textured and even has trees and stuff. it wouldnt be hard, if you were already planning on putting extra dungeon and village in the game, to just do it outside the gates.

 

[Gather]

It would be interesting if they released whole new lands as expansion packs

 

[Twilight_guy]

And then the modder moded in the entire other games in perfect detail and people played the old games again and enjoyed them all the same... and as a developer I weep deeply and bitterly for what hope is there in a population who's only goal is to wallow in its own past glory for all eternity and never seek to advance or change?

 

[ben-]

Why not just put the original games, in the new environment. with some character model updates of course. I tried playing the other TES games, but I didnt get hooked until Skyrim. I would be willing to drop 30 bucks or so if it was so.

 

[Lionsfan]

I can't wait to see what they have for expansions, I would love to see them go into Morrowind or something. Hopefully the first one is more like Bloodmoon/Shivering Isles than Tribunal/Knights of the Nine

 

[sorsa]

Call in the modder cavalry.

 

[Technocrat]

I'd better get modding, then!

 

[Stalydan]

I know someone's gonna hate me for saying this but here's the list.
First off, hire the guys who made that multiplayer mod.
Make it so that it'll run off remote servers and link everyone together.
Link all the lands and turn it into a FPS MMO with optional/separate singleplayer.
Profit.

Criticism is expected and encouraged.

Sounds fun. Can't wait to here the screams of terror as people try getting out of Morrowind and keep on being killed by the Cliff Racers
