Here's a snip:
To what extent will the Tribunal feature in the Ebonheart Pact storyline, and how far along in the main quest will we learn about the pretender to the Tribunal? By Josh James
As the rulers of Morrowind, both spiritually and politically, the Tribunal are quite prominent in the Ebonheart Pact especially Almalexia, who's been handling temporal affairs since the recent Akaviri invasion. But a pretender to the Tribunal? Mother Morrowind would dismiss the idea as absurd. Clearly impossible.
Are many changes being made to Skyrim to make it differ or stand out from the Skyrim we have recently come to know and love? If so, could you detail some of these changes? By Brandon Donio
The Elder Scrolls Online is set 1,000 years earlier than Skyrim, so you may notice that some of the ancient Nord ruins are a little less worn and weathered than in Skyrim's time. You'll also find towns, like Nimalten in the Rift, that are gone and nearly forgotten by Skyrim's Fourth Era, but are alive and thriving in ESO's Second Era.

Last time we had the chance of discovering the land of Morrowind, the different feelings to the Great Houses and the House Wars was one of the most intriguing aspects to the game. Will we have an opportunity to join the houses? If so, which of them will be joinable? I just so loved the mushroom houses. By Greg
The rivalries between the Dunmer Great Houses have deep roots, and they are all important players in the politics of Morrowind. In fact, House Telvanni they of the mushroom towers are estranged from the other Houses at the time of ESO, and refused to join the Ebonheart Pact. (We'll share more about them in the future, you can be sure.) Your characters will have opportunities to help (or hinder) all the other Great Houses of Morrowind, though formal adoption into their ranks won't be part of the game at launch.
