“Make that noise!”
Many will not understand how important that actually is
"Do the roar"
That sound meant relief back in Morrowind, when there was no fast traveling nor compass
@@sorchatheraven the sound you're talking about is literally tied to fast travel you dope
@@ksquidplaysminecraft ... You know by fast traveling I meant just clicking on a place you've discovered and magically appearing there, right?
@@sorchatheraven Yeah I don't care bro. Silt striders are by definition fast travel. Morrowind has fast travel. Words don't change meaning based on your feelings.
You’re a Morrowind fan, huh? Name every NPC in Seeyda Neen then.

I don’t know why MMO weapons always do thousands of damage and mobs can absorb hundreds of thousands of damage. Must be in order too tap into human psychology.
@@murderedcarrot9684 Better scalability in damage values mostly, is why. Endgame content involves multiple players beating on the same boss. Those bosses have to be chunky HP wise otherwise they're just burnt through (Which is already a problem in all MMORPGs as content gets outdated over time) quickly and none of the mechanics matter.
It'd be unsatisfying for people to see themselves doing like 5hp's worth of damage even once they're endgame. But they also can't make that the norm because you need lower damage values to allow for some scalability in damage from levelling.
So yeah, it's to tap into human psychology but it's also because it's a lot better for scaling damage values across a wide range of level and content difficulty. Singleplayer games don't have to deal with the same issue to the same degree.
didnt make it to the josh fight huh
Bit of LORE as to why Vivec was so easy to approach in this one:
Prior to Dagoth Ur stealing Sunder + Keening, the Tribunal still had their full powers, and were more interactive with the Dunmer.
It was only after they got their balls stolen by the golden mask man that they withdrew to sulk in their palaces.
I always thought Vivec was intentionally portrayed as passionate and vibrant in ESO in contrast to his gloomy and desperate self in Morrowind.
Tried ESO once. Hated that this Tribunal fricken priest told me "Oh yeah, go talk to our living god." Like even if he would talk to lowly little me, brand new to the area and almost powerless, why not go yourself? You know, *you,* the Tribunal priest? Bothered me. Sucked the awe and importance right out of the whole Tribunal faith imo. I don't mind him being characterized differently or made more accessible; I *do* mind him being turned into a nostalgic quest point.
@@bignwah6905 in the lore of Morrowind in many books Vivec and the other tribunal were among the people a lot before the events at Red Mountain
@@breendart134 i would say something, but i would spoiler the main quest
@@breendart134 What's the point of a god you can talk to if he won't let you talk to him?
Vvardenfell feels so small in ESO because you actually can sprint/mount, rather than moving at the speed of smell like in Morrowind.
*laughs in 50 fortify speed spells*
There also aren't mountain ranges designed to make you take the long way to a destination. You can just run straight there
@@SomethingLame you mean alteration trainers
I died at, "the speed of smell!"
@@SomethingLame if you arent just levitating over mountains are you really playing morrowind?
as someone who has never played ESO, I find the lack of fog in Morrowind
disturbing
View distance can be changed
On console the fog is everywhere
The weather changes all the time, it definitely can get foggy.
As you start getting nearer to Red mountain, while doing quests you get more....Well it's not fog as such but ash, but still it's kinda cool.

@@JuniorJuni070 Yes.
How much of a madman am I for playing the game exclusively in first person

I watch all of his content religiously

*shoots everything with lightning*
Well generic for TES to be honest.
RuneScape 3 looks crazy different
Ur twitter posts are prime my guy. Respect you.
Evolution of Cyrodil
The crossover we never knew we needed
This is RuneScape 4
Just started playing RuneScape. People heavily told me to play the old school version. So far I’m loving it. Question: How big is the world of RuneScape? Like can I get lost in it? I want a big game that lets me do whatever but is fairly big
ESO has Alfiqs and MickyD. Time to play ESO.
I love how Micky takes his time soaking everything in when he plays an elder scrolls. I'd imagine it'll take him years to make some headway in ESO because of how massive it is. If he does though, you bet I'd watch him play it. Micky if you're seeing this you're really great and entertaining. Keep doing what you're doing man. Cheers

20:20 that “hah, no” edit was amazing
19:33 you were asking about the argonians being slaves. The ebonheart pact during the second era when this game takes place bans argonian slavery
House Telvanni didn't enter the Pact though, so they still keep slaves in eastern Vvardenfell. the questline in Sadrith Mora is amazing btw.

Always above you head and behind you .
Always fun to see an Elder Scrolls fan play ESO for the first time. I hope you enjoy it, there’s loads of stuff to do!
I really enjoyed what I played!
@@MickyD happy to hear! :D
Lol, I started about a month ago for the first time, after years of Oblivion and Skyrim. Now, I am hooked and rolling three characters and am in 5 guilds. Great game, great looking game, great quest lines, well executed and immersive, decent community, I guess. I do play on Xbox so they may skew the community interactions a bit, but still a great game.
@@MickyD although you never made another youtube video on ESO :-(
@@ESO_PRIME Probably busy MMOs take up a fair bit of time. Meanwhile in the regular games you can do challenges and the like plus quick saving and reloading saves a ton of time.
Hell, I enjoyed ESO and The Old Republic but I just don't have that kind of time anymore.
The quest lines are super good. Especially the Morrowind based ones
Is it like deeper into the quests? All I remember for most quests are literally fetch quests
I loved Morrowind quests! As soon as I went to high rock I found the quests to be mostly boring but Morrowind was really really good.
@@zhitchcresttail3387 The original base game quests can be like that but expansion ones have proper story lines. Some even have choices.
@@zhitchcresttail3387 It depends. They are set up just like mainline quests.
@Crow Orsinium was my favorite quest line. I am not a fan of orcs but it was great
MMO’s aren’t for everyone. I was going through morrowind -> oblivion -> skyrim when I decided i might as well add ESO to the list. At the time, this Vardenfell stuff had just come out, so I was coaxed in by nostalgia and hooked by the mechanics, visuals, and (sometimes) some stories. I’m still not into MMO’s, and I don’t see myself playing anything besides ESO, but I think it’s really good fun for any TES fan, as you get to see what some place might look like in future games. I mean, you get to explore all of valenwood, that’s pretty cool in my opinion.
I’d be really interested in seeing you play around and explore some familiar locations, especially Vardenfell, but other places too. Also try Cyrodiil when you’ve leveled up some more, that shit’s real interesting.
Also, check that Zanispulu or something dungeon that guy told you about, you won’t regret it :)
The game has grown *a lot* since then and is just coming into its golden age. Tons of quests, crafting, fun harvesting mechanics, amazing dungeons (and tons of them), gritty PvP, and good events/celebrations. The first 5-10 hours are confusing, and at times frustrating, as with any large-scale and complex game. But with ESO it is really worth getting over that hurdle. The community is solid too. It is also not really beat-able, as in when other Elder Scrolls games would start having an endgame you can cheese and the struggle to grow can slow down, ESO is now huge enough that there are still 800 other things to find and do. Best stuff in it? Very challenging high-level team content (Trials) that is super rewarding and gives golden jewelry.
The final boss in this game is housing. You can get a mega mansion super structure with all furniture you crafted yourself.
That's depressing to hear though, ESO is painfully generic phantasy art design.
i just wish the game had an auction house. you can always make/join a guild and rent a trading stall. or you can directly link items in the global chat. but an auction house gives more freedom for the lone wolf, which i've always liked. some people don't like to be obligated to a guild and enjoy random encounters, as well as the satisfaction of carving your own individual path.
all of that aside, TES is my favorite setting and lore. and i think they did a good job not just copy-pasting MMO staples from WoW, FF, Eve, etc. i especially enjoy the fact that enemies and quest rewards scale to your level. so if you like morrowind, you can start there. or go straight to skyrim and start there. or anywhere, for that matter.
@@tisFrancesfault I’d disagree. Generally speaking, artists in Zenimax do a good job of mimicking the art style of the games that exist. Vardenfel has more color and clutter, but it still looks incredibly alien, and Red Mountain is no longer just something on a map and occasional conversation topic for the first 50+ hours as it was in morrowind, it’s now a looming volcano that can be seen pretty much anywhere in the island and is always ominous. Hammerfell may look alike a generic desert, but it’s in line with the deposition in TES: Daggerfall and Redguard.
Its style is TES through and through, if it’s generic for you that’s understandable but it is faithful.
Eso is diet elder scrolls.
Remember that the cities in the main Elder Scrolls games are smaller than they actually are in the lore, for example, the Imperial City has millions of inhabitants in the lore, but in Oblivion only a hundred appear. In ESO the cities can be bigger because it is an MMO. So yes, the huge buildings of Balmora are accurate.
Also, in the time that occurs ESO the Argonians are no longer slaves, the Dunmer, Nords and Argonians made the Ebonheart Pact and now work together against the Daggerfall Covenant (Redguards, Orcs and Bretons) and the Aldmeri Dominion (Altmers , Bosmer and Khajiits), Cyrodiil is the neutral province.
Obviously, even with the pact, Dunmer and Argonians don't fully trust each other, and even some Dunmer still have Argonian slaves, but is illegal.
I love the lore of Elder Scrolls, lol
Except for some of em its not illegal. The telvanni can still have them because they didnt join the pact... or something like that idk i dont do much questing in eso
@@qcklu that is correct. its one of the reasons I dislike the telvanni so much
Yea I love the lore as well, its awesome if u can actually keep up with it
Must be rough liking the lore of a game who's company doesn't care for it anymore
I think a series where you do the 7 main quests of Morrowind would be a really cool series, or at least one of the quests in it's own video. I'm playing through the ESO Morrowind quests on one of my characters now and it's been a lot of fun
Tbh they're the most aggravating of them just to how incompetent vivec and window sil is made out to be. Also the clockwork city needs to be done after morrowind to actually have a semi-end to the questline, and even then summerset needs to be done after for a full conclusion. It's a disaster to do without committing to or really enjoying the game.
+1 I'd also love to see the quest lines for Almalexia and Sotha Sil
@@MrRocksW Again, he'd have to do the mournhold main quest for it to not be jarringly out of order haha. Just a ton of investment needed and if there's no passion for the game there then it's going to be horrible. Especially with how gruelingly slow the earlier quests are for mob density if you can't skip them.
so we can all share the hate for Sun-in-Shadows?
Eso Def is different than the typical tes games but it's fun beyond the flaws
It's honestly *a lot* of fun. The learning curve is rough if people expect it to be just a skyrim with friends. The skill bar and lack of options in fighting is frustrating for people treating just like any normal TES game, but it's actually a god tier MMO if you can get past that.
@@mando_dablord2646 yea exactly. Joined after morrowind dropped and after I stopped looking at it like a tes game it became easier. Haven't stopped since
My big problem was that it's not a true TES game. And I'm not an mmo person. I truly want a TES game that I just play with friends.
@@xxarcangelxx143 I'm not sure what you mean, but to me the exact opposite is true. ESO is NOT a "true" MMO, and feels more like an "Elder Scrolls game with friends".
@@xxarcangelxx143 I'd have to say that ESO does a very good job at being a TES game.
Only the sandbox is limited so you can't do crazy exploits. Which by that logic Skyrim isn't a very good TES game. Redguard and Battlespire don't even stand a chance. 🙃
Which while ESO is an MMO, it's honestly more RPG then it is MMO. The learning curve continues to be the biggest barrier with a vastly different sandbox.
Micky D, as someone who started playing this game when the Morrowind chapter/expansion was announced, allow me to pass along some anti-frustration tips to help answer some questions you had:
1. You picked a Dunmer, and the Dragonknight class. Now, this is actually a good combo to pick, so you didn't choose unwisely. Dunmer are well-balanced for the races, so you can use any focus you want with them. Dragonknight is a solid class, and is mostly known for either being a magical damage class OR a tanking class.
2. Gear does NOT level with you. If you out level your gear, you will die faster, hit weaker, and just otherwise get worse. HOWEVER, as you fight creatures and generic NPCs out in the wild or during quests, you will get gear (albeit randomly generated) for your level, so even if you can't craft or get help, you can still find stuff to put on. But with that said, don't stress too much if you out level your gear, because you level up FAST in the early levels, so you may rocket through it faster than you think. Just try and generally keep your gear somewhat up to date as you level, and you shouldn't have too many problems.
3. In every region in the game, in the major city in that region (Vivec City for example for Vvardenfell) you can find a 'Pack Merchant'. Talking to them with enough gold on you allows your character to gain 10 more inventory slots. It gets more expensive each time, but the first couple upgrades are very cheap, and you can help reduce your inventory frustrations.
4. At level 10, you unlock your first mount, and like with the above, in each major city, you can find a 'Stables' which will allow you to spend 250 gold once a day (20 hours technically) to level up your mount's speed, stamina, or inventory (aka make your inventory bigger) by 1. It's a flat 250 gold, but you can only pick one thing a day. However these stats apply to all mounts on a character, so if you get another cooler mount you like more, you will NOT lose any progress.
5. Continuing about gear, what you wear affects what you can do/abilities you can use. Each skill line has it's own abilities and passives, and can be used only while equipped with the right gear:
Destruction staff: Magical damage or tanking
Restoration staff: Magical healing
One-handed and shield: Stamina tanking
Dual-wielding: Stamina damage
Two-handed: Stamina damage
Bow: Long-range stamina damage
Light armor: Magic-focused builds
Medium armor: Stamina-focused builds
Heavy armor: Health-focused builds
6. You're on (I assume) PC-EU. Which the EU server is not quite as populated as the NA server is, but it still has a steady population. However, EVERYONE on the EU server plays together as such. But you won't see any players from PC-NA or from say the X-box servers or the PS4 servers. As such, maps are instanced, so you are in Vvardenfell, but there may be multiple maps OF Vvardenfell running that you aren't in at that particular moment.
7. The Guilds basically are their own sectioned off part of the game. There's 6: Fighter's Guild, Mage's Guild, Thieves Guild (DLC), Dark Brotherhood (DLC), Undaunted, and Psijic Order (DLC, but you own Summerset, so you could theoretically do so). Each one has their own skill line. Don't worry about these right now though.
8. If you decide ESO might be something you want to do more of, I might recommend getting ESO Plus. That would, among other bonuses, unlock ALL DLC you do not own (with the sole, singular exception of the new Blackwood expansion that just dropped) for as long as you have a subscription.
Cheers for all the tips and advice! I read through it all and really appreciate it. Was definitely the most helpful one so far!
@@MickyD Sure thing, as a few more tips to help out, especially if you decide to play on your own:
1. Vampirism and lycanthropy are things in ESO if you should so want to become one at some point. However you won't just randomly get them by fighting stuff, you have to go out of your way to unlock them.
2. Progress and characters are not transferred between servers. If you're on PC-EU and switch to the NA server, you'd have to start all over. That said, ESO Plus does transfer if you should get that.
3. Every quest gives, at bare minimum, gold and EXP as a reward. Which also increase as you level up. So just...run around and do stuff and you'll gain plenty of levels in no time.
4. Your skills level up as you gain EXP, and your skill lines only gain EXP when you equip abilities from them on your skill bar. Ergo if you want 'Destruction Staff' to level up, you need to unlock a skill from that skill line, and equip it to your bar. Mind skills do not have to be 'used', only equipped to your bar when you gain EXP. As an addition, skills also can be 'morphed' to add or change their effects, which you do want to do, as the skill will no longer gain EXP (which means that the skill line also stops gaining EXP).
5. To do all of the above, you need skill points. You gain skill points in primarily three ways: 1. Level up your character. 2. Do quest lines (basically do any quest with a fancy quest arrow is part of a quest line) 3. Find skyshards (which are crystal looking things that send a beam of light into the air), for every three you find, you gain a skill point. There is more ways beyond that, like PvP, but those are the three easiest and most direct ways of doing it.
6. To help explain some map markers:
Pillar looking things: Wayshrines. These are found all over every map, and can be used to freely teleport between, including to other regions in the game. These are usually found near settlements or along various cross roads. It's extremely useful to unlock these, to make getting around easier.
Skull-and-crossed-swords: World Bosses. Immensely powerful enemies that are meant to be fought with a group.
Cave entrance: Public dungeons. These are basically open air dungeons. Every public dungeon has quests, multiple bosses, a skyshard, and a 'group event' within. Doing said group event gains you an instant skill point, but it is meant to be done with others.
Lit torch: Delves. Small/medium sized dungeons, which contain more enemies, usually one or two quests, and a boss or bosses to fight (but while more difficult, can be soloed, even by a new character). They also contain a skyshard each. Beating a delve (by defeating the boss/bosses) nets you a chunk of bonus EXP one time for it.
Entryways: Dungeons and Trials. For the former, these are things you queue for, and are the standard 4-person content of the game. You unlock these at level 10. Every dungeon has a 'story' quest you can do that gives you a skill point upon completion. However most players do tend to rush through dungeons, so let your teammates know if you need to do the story line. Trials: DO NOT ENTER. These are the 12 man raids of the game. The thing you saw with Divayth Fyr, that is a trial. Trust me, you're gonna have a bad time if you go there.
7. If you can, try to log in once a day for your daily login bonus. For a new character especially it gets you some nice things. Good healing potions, food that buffs your stats for a couple hours, scrolls that increase your EXP gains for a couple hours from all sources, and so on. The timer for this bonus is the same for all players, so you can't cheese the system or anything.
8. At level 10 as well, you unlock Cyrodiil, the main PVP content. However don't worry too much about this. While you get a generic quest to go there, it's a tutorial, getting to Cyrodiil (often times shortened to Cyro) is a bit weird. But even if you do go, you will be put into a safe 'camp', so don't worry you won't be teleporting to a battlefield against your will.
I think that about covers all the basics. I know I dropped a lot here, but really, don't fuss too much about it. This is meant to be just some general tips to avoid frustration or annoyance. Just run around, find quests, do quests, empty inventory when needed, and repeat.
don't forget that ESO plus also gives you the crafting bag so that materials don't count to your item-limit any more. You want to have this because there are a ton of different crafting materials.
I’m new to ESO but I never see anyone mentioning this tip, and I only found out from someone online, but: you want to do at least the pvp tutorial quests, as it gives you enough points to spend on the pvp skill line and you can get something like +30% PERMANENT SPEED BUFF to all your mounts with those points (I believe it’s the 1st pvp passive ability you can get). The tutorial itself has no pvp at all. Just some fetch quest and learning about balistas and stuff.
These mechanics all sound like crap dang
I'm so glad I'm not into MMOs, imagine having to put up with "will allow you to spend 250 gold once a day to level up" as the industry standard. This is just sad, but I guess the MMO public brought that upon themselves hahahaha

Something that makes this feel way more like a normal elder scrolls game right off the bat is disabling target highlighting and some UI glow stuff. It's a little bit, but it helps you forget you're playing Dark Age of Elderlot.
But if you dont have the highlighting then you dont know if an npc is agressive , neutral or innocent.
@@andrei8p45 you will learn by interacting with them and it's more immersive that way imo.
Oh I didn't know you could do that. I absolutely hate the highlighting.
In ESO i think each guild has only one Guildmaster. So she might be somewhere else in Tamriel.
Yea it’s part of the base game she’s in the the first major faction town u choose , so it’s a separate storyline to morrowind
I would imagine if he is part of the Ebonheart pact, he will find Sees-All-Colors in the Fighters Guildhall in Stonefalls. But I figure it's okay if he plays Morrowind first then heads back to the base game in a few months/years. Probably. It's like a whole 'nother story.

@@mysteryman4013 console. Xbox to be exact. I got it downloaded, I just don't play it much.
But only pay the game or you need to pay a subscription?
@@reny8970 what?
When you want to fast travel make sure to use the wayshrines or you just are losing money. Sometimes it's worth it to do it from the map but I wasted a fair amount of money before I remembered oh yeah that was free to do it from the shrines. Also one option to consider is buying a premium sub because you get the dlc while you are a subbed member instead of spending just to buy them. So you could get a month and check out more areas. Nothing to rush though. You can get a lot of enjoyment out of what you already have. Just saying this is an option available to you. Just be warned that joining the Psijics is kind of a grindy and annoying line to do. Though it is pretty cool you can join the Psijics.
That's better than $60 for the collection.
@Luke Morgan eso is one of the best mmo games imo. would you mind telling me what you dislike about it?
@Luke Morgan another fucking hater who just sucks shit at Mmos.
@@sethrussell7771 i mean, not eveyone has to like the game. they could have gotten the game in hopes that it wasn't as grindy as other mmo games but then realised that it is just as time consuming as the rest of them.
i do want to know what they personally dislike about ESO as it will provide insight as to what people may dislike and wish was better. It could be the battle style, art style, game mechanics, trials and dungeons, or even that trading system. now it could just be that they are the type of person that you were tal9ng about and just lives to hate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ who knows
@Luke Morgan You see that's what I enjoy. I love playing games like ESO and Destiny because they feel like you are working towards something and growing in power for the work you put in, rather than just another match that is the exact same as all the other matches.
It's funny to see a veteran at a game I know nothing about being a noob at a game I know a lot about.
I only started recently myself, and as a massive Morrowind fan, when I finally decided I'd seen enough of Western Skyrim and hopped over to Vvardenfell, it felt like coming home...
If you want a blast from the past, check out the Forgotten Wastes dungeon near the North Coast. Eventually. Recommend getting a hang of the game first, and/or find a group.
I love that you had basically my exact reaction to the locations
Seeing Seyda Neen in ESO always kinda bugged me. It always felt like a relatively new settlement in Morrowind, not something that's been the same for like one thousand years.
Eso was in the second era tho
@@OreganoParsley Alright, so it's more like 740-750 years and not one thousand between ESO and Morrowind, but the sentiment still stands
@@ThaCrossword yea I get what u mean
ESO. Beautiful to look at but starts to hurt when you think about it for a second.
Seyda Neen doesn't actually exist in the Second Era lore-wise, but gamers would riot if it wasn't included because of nostalgia, which is practically the entire point of the DLC. A lot of stuff in ESO is not lore accurate, but no one cares other than extreme lore nerds. By the way, when you do visit Vivec some of the Cantons can be seen under construction rather than all fully built like in Morrowind
i've been playing eso on and off since 2015 and i absolutely love this video, just seeing someone enjoy the game without the desire to immediately grind or min/max is so refreshing. really makes me wanna play more eso
Ive always thought of silt striders as giant fleas cuz thats what 16 year old me thought they looked like
What a coincidence! I was planning on starting this game for the first time tomorrow night!
Also if you keep playing this I'd watch it. This game seems really big but i like the idea of you just taking on the morrowind expansion. It sounds fun and manageable
Love ya Micky, rough day of school then I see your upload, a blessing really
Really enjoyed this video, Micky! Hope you do more in the future

You can unironically get morrowind to look like this
@@AnnaMorkin no way
@@teibdavies242 easily since they have face model mods on par with ESOs and they dont lose morrowinds style, 2K texture packs for everything in game, complete lighting overhauls, flora overhauls filling in the barren lands and other things to completely revamp it

One tip: you can increase your mount speed at a stable master once every day. You will get a basic mount at level 10 or 15 from level up rewards. Your mount speed is useless in the beginning...... something I wish I had known when I started. XD

Yes you can get ordinator armor in this game :D And Fighters guild starts from the main game area, you can find Sees-All-Colors from Davon's Watch fighters guild. This is traditional issue with starting from DLC area, it really won't hold your hand.
I was thinking about asking you to play ESO but you read my mind! Keep up the well edited elder scrolls series!
I love ESO!
It took me some time to get used to it, but in the end it's well worth it. It is an mmo, though, so I don't treat it *quite* like I do the other games, but there's so much solo content that it's very easy to play it just like a mainline Elder Scrolls game!
I'm a little over a year in and still haven't done much socializing or grouping up haha! It's a great solo game
I love Elder Scrolls Online. I started this time last year and I do enjoy the environments and lore, the races, cultures, and references from older elder scrolls games.
I'm pretty sure that the reason why you can just go speak to Vivec is because ESO takes place before Dagoth Ur awakens, which means that the Tribunal can pretty much always go to the Red Mountain to recharge their powers with the Heart, so Vivec doesn't really have a reason to be isolated from the Dunmer.
This should be series i swear great episode! 👍
There are some questlines that are not related to the zone you are in, they are not listed under zone name in the quest list. Fighters guild is one of them.
Nice to see you playing ESO for the first time, brings back memories :)
I started playing Morrowind, then Skyrim, and now I play ESO, I really enjoy seeing all the regions you only hear about in the other games. Elsweyr is one of my favorites, I enjoy dragon hunting.
5:35 Gear and stats scale in this game. a level 3 weapon for a level 3 player would do the same damage as a level 50 player with a weapon of their level. in ESO, it's entirely dependent on skill, the amount of abilities you have, and what gear you're using.
I love your videos, and I love ESO. I'd love for you to do a let's play kind of thing through the whole thing. It'd breathe new life into it seeing it all again with your style of commentary.
Okay, I enjoyed this one. You should make mini-series out of this :)
The reason you can just go see Vivec so early here is that during this time he didn't shut himself away like he did in Morrowind. In Morrowind he isolated himself and his Ordinators were allowed to just run amuck. Here he's still out in the open.
great start. please continue doing the fighters guild main quest, i'd like to hear your comments on the oldest quest arc in the game.
I found your channel a couple of weeks ago maybe because of your Harry Potter videos. I'm excited to see you try this game out. I've been playing it for almost six years and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
Great video! I will love a weekly video about ESO
The damage and health of enemies scale with ur level. As u get higher level ur damage will drop on older items depending on the difference in level.
ngl I would binge the shit out of this series (I entered TES with morrowind and actually play eso now)
The Morrowind DLC got me into ESO as well. As a huge morrowind fan, I wanted to check it out, now I have something like 1.5k hours into eso lol
I recall giving this game a try when it first came out. I don't think I could customize my character and there were just loads of other players that spawned in some big room and they were all attacking a single monster- Never knew it would lead to gameplay like this.
This is literally my favorite game
You need to do the Clockwork city stuff, that was my favorite storyline so far.
love how you take the game in, and appreciate the attention to detail. not just rushing through areas like most people.
Hope you enjoy the game Micky D, playing slowly and enjoying the story is pretty good lore content
As for the equipment; yes there's some weird scaling going on. Essentially all equipment is "optimized" for your level, so your level 4 staff will be good for as long as you're level 4. As your character outlevels their equipment you will actually see the numbers decrease (by the time you're level 8 that same level 4 staff's damage will probably be around 900 attack instead). It's a bit confusing at first, but you eventually get used to it.
6Theories Nice illogical garbage system. You get more experienced in combat so your old weapons get weaker. What?
@@nihilism6226 it makes sense with the level scaling and becomes a non issue once you are 160cp. Tbh gear doesn’t mean much till 160 anyway as overland combat is easy and gear only really is relevant in pvp and group pve
its still a stupid thing, Why bother saying your weapon does that much damage if when you use it against the enemies it takes off maybe 5-10% of their health?
@@MyAramil you literally get new equipment from every mission, and every other enemy.
its literally just a number that you use to compare one item to the other. its not much ''damage'' but ''attack power''
@@DDDloki still what's the point of having the weapons have 8k attack power when it does so little damage to them. Then you just keep doing it again and again. It could be 1, or infinite attack power yet it barely chips off the hp block
As a long time ESO player, this was adorable to watch. And I don't mean it in a condescending way! It was so entertaining to see your innocent way of interacting an MMO version of the game you have played as an RPG. Luckily ESO brings on the RPG vibes very awesomely, it is worth to play the new contents (like when they add a whole new map and story arch, just like Morrowind, or Blackwood recently) just the way you do. By small, exploring steps. Wish you a good experience with ESO!
I also love fishing in MMOs. Loved the video, keep up the good work!
godd damnit man i keep getting distracted on my main quest i literally have been clicking every video i see related to elder scrolls and then i forget why i got on youtube in the first place my mind so small sometimes.
good video btw.
As a matter of fact, you CAN have the Ordinator armor! But its at the pvp vendors in Battleground Camps in Vivec City. You'll have to do a bit of PVP for it! Or wait for the next Morrowind Event to get the ordinator armor they drop.. Or use the Dark Elf motif style at the outfit station for a lower rez armor that is akin to ordinator.
Divayth Fir's name is said in game by other characters. It's like "Die vey fear"
This is so awesome! As a fellow adoring fan LOL of the Elder Scrolls series I can say this game is amazing! It has easily become my new favorite, it does however require the monthly ESO Plus subscription to really fully enjoy but it's like half the price that while used to be and you get plenty of awesome stuff for it including in-game currency. It is however very much an MMO version of The Elder Scrolls but it preserves a lot of the lore as well as having a very cool combat system. If you decide to try to get into it you will find very quickly that it has less to do with what kind of character you make and more to do with how much you practice game mechanics and recognizing telegraph's. It is also ideally designed to be a multiplayer social game. I'm sure many other people will volunteer to help you but let me know if you want any help with it, I've been playing for a couple years. As a final note you may find it easier to do story mode version stuff if you get a good friend who's been playing this for a while to run around with you silently while you're doing all the quests on camera. Otherwise you will be very focused on completing the fight and you may have a hard time doing commentary. There are also builds you can use that will keep you alive in story mode content and let you still do a ton of damage. My personal biggest tiptoe is go back to the tutorial and practice all of the game mechanics it taught you, roll Dodge, interrupt, block, setting your opponent off balance, and heavy attacking to stun them deal a ton of damage and regenerate resources
You probably wont see this Micky but since you are a dark elf you are in the ebonheart pact which includes the dark elves, argonians and nords, so without any dlc you can actually go to eastern skyrim just not western skyrim, thats dlc, but you can go to the rift and see riften and the area around windhelm i forgot what its called, you just have to get there by traveling, which is fun in this game because you will literally cross borders in game and end up in a new province
I can't imagine playing ESO in first person. it makes combat a bit claustrophobic. you need to be able to see behind you.
Eso definitely doesn't play like other es games but the story telling and quest lines are so damn good.
Can't wait for more on this game man keep it up 👍
Please make more of these if you like the game, I'd be interested to see your reaction to places like Ald'Ruhn or the clockwork city!
Awesome your finally giving this a go, as i commented in another video, they did a great job designing morrowind (besides the telvani isles, which are more of a swamp now), hell, they even managed to design skyrim better than the original (of the regions present)
But the combat damage scaling is by far what annoys me most about the game, you actually get scaled DOWN when you level up, kinda brings a new perspective to the oblivion difficulty curve.
And the way they redesigned Mournhold is disappointing af as im sure you will find out, and Cyrodil feels very uninspired as well, but im excited to try the Dark brotherhood dlc which adds a worldspace with a standing Kavatch and a reimagined Anvil.
oh you can even go to Stros M'kai, island from Elderscrolls Redguard, which i personally found really cool
Been playing eso since launch. Such a great game.
as a long time eso player watching this was actually amazing. made me feel like i was playing for the first tiem again.
Haha man I enjoyed watching this high af for no reason whatsoever, subscribed I like this content keep it up man lol
you should definitely check out the clockwork city dlc at some point! it's super fun + interesting, and i'll take all the sotha sil lore i can get.
every dlc is fun and interesting. buy em all only $300
I'm a pretty big elder scrolls online fan, so I would love to give you some tips:
-regarding damage: weapon/spell damage caps out at around 6k. Your current damage seems high because of One Tamriel which removed enemy "levels" and scales up the damage of low level players so they can join higher level players for dungeon content. End-game is more defined by your skill and knowledge as a result, which is nice.
-fighters' guild quests: since you're a Dunmer, I'm also assuming you're ebonheart pact. As such, you need to go to Mournhold to do fighters and mages quests. Each guild has a quest storyline that requires you to travel the entirety of the base game, but they also have daily quests that help you level the skill line. You can also level fighters by killing daedra/undead and mages guild by finding lore books (the glowing blue books you might have noticed).
The game definitely suffers from a lot of the usual MMO pitfalls and gaffes, but it can be a lot of fun and the writing is generally enjoyable. I recommend going to Sadrith Mora and doing the questline there.
I have been waiting for when you delve into ESO for so long!
I honestly play TESO each day but I am genuinly frightened to see Micky visiting Sadrith Mora for the first time and stating his opinion on those shrooms XD
When I played ESO for the first time it was with the Morrowind expansion. Now I hadn't played Morrowind in years, but when I went to Seyda Neen I thought "Hmm, this seems oddly familiar."
Aldruhn is very interesting in ESO
It’s currently controlled by Ashlanders
Similarly, Markarth is controlled by Reachmen
is that the area with the mudcrab house?
@@PoppyGaming43 an oversimplification of events, but yes
Hey Micky, glad you're giving ESO a try. It's a really fun game but incredibly daunting for new players and can be unintuitive at times. You mentioned you're going to give it a go in your own time and I wanted to recommend trying some dungeons as that makes up lots of fun content. Queue times can be a nightmare but if you wanted I could join you as a tank, healer or damage dealer and explain the mechanics, it can make a world of difference enjoying the game when you have an idea of what's going on around you.
Keep making the videos mate they're a good laugh after work!
Played this when it dropped and will never forget the amount of people I would see throughout my time playing. Was a great experience and I have many fond memories despite not having played for a couple years....
The silt striders look like they're in pain. 😔
Totally agree about Balmora. It's so jarringly different. Seyda Need is like, cute update. Not the same but still SeydaNeen...
Balmora is absolutely a different town in a bizarre way.
true, it makes it confusing to walk around
Love ya work Micky 💜
Thanks for the intro exploration vid! You're fun to listen to. I just installed ESO on my Playstion. It's just the base game that I got for $5. I'm gonna play a little and see if I like it before I spend the money on the expansions. I generally don't like MMOs because I don't like playing with a bunch of strangers, but I want to try it out just because it's Elder Scrolls. I'm hoping there's enough story stuff I can do without too much social interaction. X3
How was your experience?
Honestly I'd like to see more, I've been looking at this game a little but, I've been on the fence. Give it a look see! :)
"Die fetcher" " you nwah" most memorable quotes of Morrowind.
I miss this I hope you make another video on this game
I've been debating on trying ESO. Thanks for doing some in first person. Almost every person that plays/reviews does only third person and that's not how I want to play any ES games. So thanks for that! Would love to see more! I might actually check this out
