The Elder Scrolls Online The Thieves Guild DLC Interview

Following this week's announcement of The Thieves Guild, the next DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online, the folks at MMORPG.com cornered creative director Rich Lambert for a quick Q&A about what we should expect from the add-on and what it will bring to the game.  A couple of questions and their answers:

MMORPG: Can you preview any of the skills we'll see in the Thieve's Guild line?

RL: For Thieves Guild skill line we've added in all new passive skills. The focus of this line is to improve your toolset as a thief the easier it is to either escape the law or reduce being noticed during criminal activities, the easier it is to be a successful thief. A really good example of this would be Clemency, which is the ability to sweet talk your way out of being arrested by a guard for a limited amount of time.

MMORPG: What sorts of updates will we see to Cyrodiil with this DLC?

RL: We're hard at work on improving the overall performance in Cyrodiil so there are a number of behind the scenes server and data performance improvements going in. In addition to the performance improvements, there's a new non-champion point campaign as well as a new traveling vendor who you will be able to purchase monster mask sets from with AP or Gold (dungeon sets).
