Akavir expansion

I know that TESO will take place in Tamriel but it would be great to see Akavir continent. There is a lot of lore about it, but we never actually saw it. They should make an Akavir expansion. What is your opinion and who agrees with me?

I have always wanted to see Akivar, however it would have to fit in with lore in TESO. The whole reason for the strange alliance of the Ebonhart Pact is that the Argonians, Dunmer & Nords were all fighting off an Akivari invasion on their shores and decided to present a united front - which worked in repelling the Akivari from invading Tamriel, this time.

So, I don't think it would be very lore-reasonable to suppose that we Tamrielens would turn up in Akivar anytime soon after. If it did not really happen in 2nd Century, then it will not happen in TESO. Let us hope me wrong.

If there will be an Akavir expansion at least put it in a single player game.

Voted No.

I could see it going in as an expansion, with the correct back story to get the lore to match up.
The problem would be in how to divide one race among the factions to keep the balance. I never have liked the idea of adding a new race that can be in any faction. The alternative though, is to add 3 new races to balance it out. Although I like this idea better, its a much more complicated idea.

Hrm, I'd actually rather us not to Akavir at all, or at least, not for a long while. I enjoy the fact that we don't know much about the places outside of Tamriel. What we know of Akavir is taken from myths, legends and the records of attempted invasions. A lot is left completely unknown, and I enjoy having that mystery in the world.

So I'd personally rather not see it in ESO, and if we did, I'd rather have it in a singleplayer game.

I think if TESO became very successful, they would bring out expansions often (to rake in more doh) then after having all of tamriel open to us, I think then they might start looking at the other continents as expansions.

As stated above, the Ebonheart Pact was created of need to defend against an Akaviri Invasion... however, the timeline I'm familiar with has a big gaping hole in the time frame this game fits in. Could the writers have really anticipated putting a game here, rather than going further into the future? If so, then the century or more that is blank could have any number of unscripted events!

Well to be honest, they wouldn't need a lot of lore to get us over, because you don't need lore to decide to go to Akavir, if it was a giant alliance attack on them yes. But for an individual person, no.

They would just need to put in the lore of what you do once you get there.

That would work in the SP games, where it is just one person.
Not in TESO, where it's 100,000+ people.

I'm not feeling Akavir for an expansion. My faction just finished killing all of them that tried to invade.
