Rich Lambert: There's actually two really huge quality of life improvements that are coming in this last DLC that I'm particularly excited about, and proud of. If everybody's got a combat partner with them at all times, what does that mean in the world? And how does that affect performance? It was a huge, huge system and took a lot of thought and effort to bring it to the point it's at now.Īs creative director, are there other specific moments or features in any of these four releases that you're particularly proud of, and then any that you wish might have gone a little differently? In terms of just kind of going through and creating companions, and that kind of process, there was a lot of thought that went into them, ranging from, obviously, the characters and what they are, to how they're going to go about living in the world, and how the players are going to control these characters, all the way to 'how is this going to affect performance?' One of our biggest marching orders over the last year and a half, two years, has been to make the game run better. Our players really love having that kind of permanent friend to help them through the world, and they also really enjoy the stories that those companions have. But overall player sentiment has been overwhelmingly positive on companions. Rich Lambert: Well, so on the future plans, I generally don't talk about what could happen in the future, although I have said a few times that it would be a major miss if romance didn't come to the companions at some point. What was it like bringing them to life? And are you able to speak to any future plans to expand that mechanic? introduced companions this year, and they seem to have been pretty well received by the community. It's a really cool mix of visuals, in addition to obviously finding more about Mehrunes Dagon, and what he's up to, and wrapping up the entirety of this year long adventure that we've sent players on. It is very traditional, The Elder Scrolls 4 feel, fire and brimstone, jagged rocks, you know, that feel, but there's also an entirely brand new section to this area, and it is focused more on storms and lightning and just ravaged wastes. So, there is some familiarity in there with one of the biomes. So we are going to go and explore Mehrunes Dagon's realm of the Deadlands. Can you tell fans a little bit about what they can expect to wrap up that narrative? The last piece of ESO's year-long Oblivion story is coming soon.

Elder Scrolls Online creative director Rich Lambert spoke with Screen Rant about what players can expect from the remainder of the Gates of Oblivion story, the changes and updates ESO has received this year and will receive in update 32, and what may be next for Zenimax and Bethesda's MMO. This year brought many changes to ESO, including the introduction of companions and oblivion portals, and a story contextualizing the events of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Among these are the armory, which allows players to save and switch between builds, and a curated RNG system for item set drops so players can complete their full gear sets from dungeons and arenas. In addition to the DLC, which finally brings players into new parts of the Deadlands and Fargrave, ESO fans can expect several quality-of-life updates to the base game. The Deadlands DLC follows Waking Flame, a recently released, two-dungeon DLC with dire implications for the potential fate of Tamriel. Now, players will have the chance to confront the Daedric Prince antagonist of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion directly. For a year, players have experienced Blackwood and sought to uncover Mehrunes Dagon's plans. The final release in the Elder Scrolls Online Gates of Oblivion saga, the Deadlands DLC, launches later this year to complete the story of Mehrunes Dagon's rise to power.
