Hoping for more quests with a touch of Lovecraft!

Hope they include more Lovecraft references and quests based upon his works just like "A shadow over Hackdirt"( A shadow over Innsmouth, read it its great).

That was probably the most enjoyable quest in Oblivion imo, the mystery and the feeling of not being welcome at all had me by the edge of my seat through the entire quest. I was saddened when it ended it was so short, hoped for a more epic culmination with me getting caputured and having to fight for my life as the Bretheren executing some strange ritual on me. But you cant have it all.

More intruiging and branching quests is what floats my boat!

Agreed?

Agreed. Lovecraft is too awesome to not be inspired by him a bit in fantasy games.

Sounds like you guys would enjoy the Point Lookout DLC for Fallout 3 if you haven't already. It's quite "lovecraftian" in many ways. Imho it's a masterpiece in regards to mood and the setting.

Agreed, it doesn't need to reference Lovecraft either directly or indirectly, but just some quests and areas inspired by that brooding atmosphere will always go down well with me.

That would be awesome. I loved playing CoC:dcote.

Have some fishmen in an underwater cave dangit!

The Hackdirt quest was awesome, mainly for the atmosphere it gave. More quests like this in TES V would be welcomed by me.

I know, investigate strange cults with odd beliefs. Spooky atmosphere, solving mysteries within isolated an village in the woods or in the mountains. Lol sounds kinda like dragon age, the "mystery" part was solved within 10 minutes then you just killed everybody. However the feeling when you first got there was great.

I'm hoping for some quests related to "At the Mountains of Madness". It's fit in perfectly with the snowy, mysterious environment.

More Lovecraft is always a good thing. The Hackdirt quest was one of my favorites from Oblivion.

OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!!

There has to be some sort of Cthulu reference. Like an outlandish cult for Alduin, in which they worship him as something entirely different then any other race. Or even a cult to some obscure Daedra Prince, which can then span DLC's.

See everyone, it's official, Imma genius. XD.
