Why ESO is STILL My Favorite MMO in 2025
The Elder Scrolls Online continues to be my favorite MMO in 2025, and in this video, I’m sharing the six key features that I feel distinguish it among its peers. I love the engaging action combat, as well as the evergreen content system and casual friendly gear grind. ESO also features a highly flexible class system, deep character customization and an unparalleled housing system. For MMO vets like me, ESO just does many things right. Regardless of whether you’re a longtime adventurer or a curious new recruit, join me as I break down why I still love exploring Tamriel after all these years. #ElderScrollsOnline #ESO2025 #MMO #ESOFeatures #elderscrolls

YAWN!
Thx for a great video, but what a dick move you didn't help out your "friend" that was lucky enough to find valuable ethereal dust 2 days into one of the most complicated grindy games out there! Talk about quality of life upgrade! 200k is such a motivational reward when you're new and broke! It's such a disappointment to know that's how you treat your friends. Maybe that's why you used past tense? Regardless, great info and thx again. Thank you to all the players out there who helped me out in my 1st year playing this daunting but worthwhile game. Your suggestions and generosity kept me coming back and helped me get gud!
LOL - Don't worry, I mailed it back!
100% agree with everything
Bruh i hate sorc int hisvgame abd it would otherwise be my favorite class. Why? I dont fucking like finosaurs man. I dont want to summon dinosaurs at all! I eant to be a mage lol bot a dino ranger
loved Eso from 2015 to 2024 but I was playing on xbox and recently bought a high end gaming pc and realized its impossible to transfer my progress and i dont feel like downgrading back to xbox so goodbye eso unless they decide to let us transfer someday...
You can do a million character builds but every character kinda looks like it was born from the same mom and has the same fitness routine as anybody else 😅
Polar bear skin for my warden? Yes please
I tried so hard to like ESO but I can't stand the combat 😭
Flame atronach skill style would be epic
I want a VR ESO! The world is absolutely beautiful!!!
ESO is literally my favorite MMO. I've had it since it first came out. Sometimes I'd take some breaks from it, but I'd always come back, because its just so fun.
I have ESO on PS5, but there seem to be very few players there.
I like everything about ESO but the combat system. So I just did a lot of exploration and some questing. Not really playing anymore ever since I sold my winblows pc, game doesn't run at all on mac for me. I wish there was a native support.
Eso the best mmo ever.
what are the recipes? only for armor
I wish they were more than just a reskin
I remain hopeful, the first Skill Styles were all just color swaps but now we've seen ones like Lavaburst, Wildburn, and Winterfall that do more. I feel like more Guardian skill styles are inevitable, I just wish they'd hurry up.
gw2 combat is better
I think you make a lot of fair points. ESO has a lot to offer and enjoy. Unfortunately for me, and many other pvp fans, the degradation of pvp over the last years was the final nail in the coffin. The pvp streaming event a couple months ago where the lead combat designer, Brian Wheeler, demonstrated he has almost zero understanding of the combat system or ability to put together even a slightly functioning build which was enlightening and explains why pvp is in such a poor state. With that said, I am glad you are still enjoying the game and hopefully others see your video and give the game a try.
Aside from the Wheeler incident, I'd be curious to hear more of your thoughts on PvP. I've actually spent the last couple months grinding in Cyrodiil to get my War Marks and collect enough proofs for the Feral Favor body marking. In that time it's been... mostly awesome. Outside of really large battles the lag hasn't been an issue and as someone who spent 8 years in DAoC and 3 years in WAR, Gray Host is a way better RvR experience. I have learned to despise the ball groups, cross healing, and whatever build makes someone unkillable. I also lose a lot of fights, but is the big problem those balance issues or am I missing something? I could also see it get a bit stale if you've spent thousands of hours in Cyrodiil.
servers arent good enough for north eu
I'm hoping we get something different than a Bear for Wardens...like a Gryphon for my Aldmeri characters...
ESO is a great game. With that being said, ESO has the worst auction house system I’ve ever seen.
i enjoyed for the year then i quit got bored playing.
I stopped because of the stupid eso+ pass being needed for the crafting bag.
Reaching the point of “needing” a Kalam0n builds webpage hahaha With gear, skills, rotation, build lore background and it all!!
I quit ESO because the inland difficulty is set on r-tard mode. I will come back to this game when the difficulty is relevant. Have fun
I love this UI revamp mod. Can anyone identify which one it is?
I use a few, all covered in my 2024 Addon video. But it sounds like you're probably most interested in Azurah, LUI Extended, Votan's Minimap and Perfect Pixel. Those are the 4 key ones to recreate my UI. Full video with more details: ua-cam.com/video/tpVgmKxut4U/v-deo.htmlsi=SbMDN1IHffgYUyEg
@@Kalam0n Tysm! Perfect Pixel looks great! I'm so glad I discovered your channel! 🙏🙏
How do I get the damage numbers only, it keeps showing the icon of the attack or item no matter what i try changing on my own
Go into the Addon settings for LUI extended, under Combat Text open the panel for Damage and Healing Options, then remove the %t from the format.
Games been watered dowm that much that triffecas used to be very hard to clear. Everybody is a godslayer know and there as popular as a vet hm clear know.
I dislike too much the fact to play with two weapon and kinda forced to play with specific weapon to get good with your build. plus the fact that there is ZERO challenge or difficulty killing overland monster.
As someone who has never played ESO, am I okay getting into it now in feb 2025?
Definitely! They just made some updates to the tutorial and more improvements to the starting zones are coming in the next update. Also, because of the evergreen content model, you shouldn't have any trouble finding people to play with in the old zones, or run the lowbie dungeons, etc.
ESO is a good game but the action combat has always felt rather stiff to me in this game and like many other games, you're set on a hard rotation with pretty much most builds where you're looking at your hotbar 80% of the time rather than the screen. The amount of chances I give this game is beyond my ability to count at this point and the only class that at least feels the most engaging for me would be Arcanist, it's the only one with which I can sort of enjoy the game but even then I feel the rigidity of combat in this game and it's a bother yet again. I want to love this game but sadly I think it will never be one I can play consistently. Taking frequent breaks are the only way I can enjoy it.
I don't really care for MMO's, but I love the Elder Scrolls. I wish there was a way to remove the other players, but beyond that it's a great game.
The game is so solo oriented the other players don't really even matter, think of them as NPCs.
I basically played it as a solo game for the first year or so. Sure, there were other players around, but I just did the story quests and solo arenas.
9:04 what is the chestpiece called?
Deadlands Gladiator!
What's that water thing with the fish in it
Is the same game nothing change no new weapon skills such as one hand weapon or a new class Monks for example
I play at this Game since 2015 now I love back on it everytime
I wish they would use the ESO legends decks in the game, Legends closed their servers down today
Newbie here. Great content. Ty. What is that addon that shows the price of the item on its right side inside the inventory? Seems super useful.
is the PVP any good? Is there any pvp?
There is! Both in the form of Battlegrounds (4v4 and 8v8) and semi-open world in the form of Cyrodiil and Imperial City. I find them enjoyable but there are issues with balance, certain build/group types and performance. It's one of their focus areas for 2025. I've been playing a ton in Cyrodiil lately and I've enjoyed the keep sieges quite a lot.
@ seems like fun to me thanks for the info
@@Kalam0n Do you know if there is a free trial version?
@@Thejollyoldbman Only occasionally, however the base game is 4.99 right now on Steam, and the Gold Road Collection which includes the base game plus all 8 chapters is only 17.99 on Steam.
Sponsored Video? ESO combat is one of the worst things about it lol.
Man I wish this was sponsored but sadly I just don't share your opinion.
@@Kalam0n I get it man, opinions are opinions right.
I kind of like ESO. But coming from FF14, I wish the dungeon experience was better. Players just steamroll them with completely wtf builds and zero skill... Until they don't in DLC dungeons and then it's an atrocious experience.
I occasionally run into this, the Castrum Meridianum / Praetorium experience! But I've found people are often willing to slow down if you ask. I would love to see improvements to the queues and party matching that put like-minded players together rather than throwing a sprinter into the mix with newbies.
Have loved this game since beta. Played on pc, steam deck and PS5
eso is so fun but i had to quit from it cus playing from australia is hell
love this game, been a day one player, on and off, on playstion, only thing I wish is if they can just give us a one time trasnfer to pc, kinda like destiny did. Maybe one day
Lol look at black desert combat. Come on man. ESO combat SUCKS.
Can't say I agree with you there, I hated BDO when I tried it.
It's my favorite one too which is sad because I don't think it's good. It's missing - a seamless world without loading screens on the edges of the map - harder difficulty during regular leveling ( I basically never die, add a companion on top and you're a God) - no open world PVP, I'm the first to admit I suck at pvp in mmo's but having open world pvp makes the game feel more immersive - less focus on microtransactions... I remember back in the day when you could get all the mounts in WOW by just playing and mobs dropping them (in this game every mount is almost the same but a recolor or a retexture of it... and they charge like 30-50 bucks for 1, that's robbery, F___ that greedy S____) - less console-y would be nice too... having more than 5 spells or whatever it is... feels like it's made for those s____ controllers
@kalamOn whats your main character
The warden from the thumbnail is my main. 2nd and 3rd are probably my two templars though, the Khajiit and the Breton 'Warrior Priest'.
Still my fav mmo i love how theres no button bloat
Honestly a great perk of the combat system!
Its so refreshing to find a CC with a positive outlook on the game. Recently everyone has been so negative, and ok its justified often, but its also getting exhausting.
I have my gripes of course, but I'm still enjoying ESO every day. There just aren't many MMOs that combine this feature set.
@@Kalam0n Id say Guild Wars 2 is pretty similar in many aspects but each game is fun and great in its own way!
The action combat system is the reason I don't like ESO tbh. Just like you , I have been playing MMOs since UO Beta. I started personally to dislike action combat in MMOs, because it takes away from the character. It matters little what stats, equipment or skills the character has, if the main input of success is the pure reaction time of the player and his actions per minute. Let's compare it with an MMO that is a different beast , EvE-Online. In EvE the APM of the player matters not that much. The build of the character and the build of the ship you choose is way more important, hence theory craft and tactics. In combat, you don't need to press 120 spells per minute. Your job is to know the ship you are fighting and what optimal position your ship needs to take in battle to counter it and play out your ship strength. Knowledge of ship stats, item stats and your character play a way more vital role than your pure reaction time. The same goes for games like UO (specially Outlands) and even WoW specially classic PvP. There are so many games out there that are purely based on player reaction time, especially FPS , that I'd rather not have it in the MMO I play. So, that Action Combat you enjoy, is exactly the reason I had to stop ESO. Otherwise, it is a very good MMO and more power to them.
