Blackwood
June 1, 2021 - PC/Mac/Stadia, Consoles - Patch Notes
With Update 30 the plot thickens around the year-long story arc of "Gates of Oblivion". We get to experience a whole new area with Blackwood in the south-east of Cyrodiil, which is untouched by war. By exploring this area, players will see Daedric portals appear, through which they can enter the oblivion plane.
Many things players have loved about the original TES: Oblivion have been implemented into the game, such as the Adoring Fan. But first and foremost, we get introduced to a new system: Player companions. They fight alonger the players side, keep them company, tell new stories and grow a friendship with the player.
Also a new Trial is introduced, called Rockgrove. It is heavily Argonian themed, as about half the area of Blackwood.
There was also a free update to the base game, including several other additions and features like ability bar timers, bankable outfit style pages, Imperial City Monster Masks, Master Writ quest assistance, adjustment to proc sets and the Champion System. Also, set bonuses have been reenabled in Cyrodiil.
