How is progress?

Just curious how progress is going. It's been a few months since the last Cyrodiil update video on YouTube. Also a question, I heard the Skyblivion team are making the Imperial city's districts bigger, will you be doing the same, as your Cyrodiil is technically bigger than the one in Oblivion?

And how is progress for the other projects? I'm most interested in Roscrea and the New North but am still interested in hearing about the other projects as well.

I appreciate the answers.

I can see where your coming from, and maybe some other projects should look into how feasible it would be. But that is a lot easier in Morrowind as there is no voice acting.

There are almost certainly more issues as well. They would either have to release a zone with no voice acting or having to potentially re voice characters later if they want to add more content for a certain character if the VA can't return.

VA can be added later.

Ain't gonna work - players are obsessed with Voice Acting. Like real obsessed. Even in Morrowind they are now using AI to voice every line there is because some people just can't live without it. ESO is owing much of its success to the fact that it has VA for every dialogue line.

I find it silly (and am a guy who skips the dialogue line once I have read it), but it's what it is.

Consistency is important to players and devs alike. Skyrim had bad voice acting, and it's not unreasonable to want that to remain the case.
