Oblivion was 20 years ago?! I can feel the dust drying in my veins. 🙂
Right there with you.
You think you've got it bad, try being a Morrowind fan!
..........I played Daggerfall. 😭
If it makes you feel better, it's only been 18 years.
@@nwahnerevar9398 I check every barrel for a ring in every other game, just in case.
Although you think you've got it bad, I remember Gold Box games being a work of genius, changing games forever.
Yo they're actually making part of Cyrodiil a jungle? That's how it was supposed to be in the original lore of the series before Oblivion came out, that's awesome.
A nice squaring of the circle there.
ES lore is so wild, I wonder if they'll ever include the journeys to one of the moons?
@@zanite8650 Well, in one of the quests you already end up on one of the moons.
@@zanite8650Elsweyr Chapter. It happens.
@@zanite8650 Sorry to spoil it but they kinda did in ESO. Play the Elsweyr expansion and you'll see what I mean.
Wow that surprises me, Mike plays an MMO and that he seems to play one for fun and not just content.
I always suspected his derision of MMOs was because he felt he already spent too much time with them.
To be fair it is ESO, it is one of the least MMO-like MMO's on the market - which is the reason why most MMO players don't really care for it (that, and the obnoxiously predatory cash shop and loot boxes).
@@lj_aderyn More the second part. ESO is just a real obvious cash grab.
So glad to see ESO getting coverage! If anyone is coming back to the game, there is also now a really helpful guild-finding tool. I really encourage finding a guild. The number of people who will run dungeons and trials, while also stopping during the run to admire the beauty or lore of the area, is outstanding!
Hit me up when they remove that loot box system and I might spare some time to come back and see how it's changed since Morrowind.
But while it's still there, I won't be coming back.
I'm def excited for the rest of skyrim, and hoping they make it soon - specifically, the College of Winterhold, because realistically, Winterhold would be a big proper city, not the tatters you find it as in TES5. I'd LOVE to see what Winterhold looked like before the accident that destroyed the vast majority of it.
The Blackwood Chapter also introduced a good Chunk of Cyrodiil a few years back.
Yeah, it makes me wonder if this guy's actually been paying attention for a while.
+ Oblivion portals and the Deadlands chapter the Deadlands as a big region, which TES IV fans would also like.
My main issue with the game is that I always feel as if I were missing out, because of how they monetize the game. While it is buy to play like guildwars , plus buying the "chapters" : Summerset, Elsweyr, Greymoor, Blackwood, High Isle, Necrom, Gold Road now. But wait there is more ! (8) Zone DLCs costing around 2000-3000 Crowns each and Dungeon DLC (11) costing 1500 Crowns each. BUT WAIT THERE IS EVEN MORE! You have limited bag space, but need to hold herbs , ores or other goods? ESO+ will provide you that and all the DLC except for the 2 most recent chapters... BUT WAIT THERE IS SOME HOW EVEN MORE !
Loot crates ! Wish it did not nickle and dime me for everything.
It’s so predatory. They love the “create the problem, sell the solution” approach.
If you just subscribe then you only ever have to buy the most recent chapter, have practically infinite bag space and get a monthly allotment of more Crowns than I know what to do with. I legit mostly use them to buy zones for my friends.
Like, yes, the monetization model is a mess, but it doesn't cost any more to play ESO than WoW.
@@MxReeseyeah I had a subscription for a long time. You only needed to buy the main yearly expansion if you wanted it straight away and you got the smaller ones "free". I'm not sure what people expect from a free to play game. They have to pay for it somehow. They dropped mandatory subscriptions early because people didn't like it So instead they had to go paid expansion or a choice to subscribe. At the time it honestly didn't feel egregious at all. I got what was basically a decent size new area for £30 a year and I played it enough that having the subscription basically equated to a lot less than all the other games I would have been buying if I wasn't constantly playing the same one.
I can totally see that if you were jumping in now it could seem overwhelming, there's a lot of game. It's actually why I dropped off. I wanted to try other stuff and after a few months I felt a bit out of the loop with my guilds and people I played with. I've spent a lot of the time since alternating between new games and filling in the ones I missed while I played ESO for three years. I sometimes miss it, I genuinely loved the game. I just know my personality and would just drown in FOMO. Plus I have a son now and that means I can't just sit down and play for five hours straight.
Oh, so your average MMO
*legasp* A buisiness that is designed to make money, is actually making money off of their product? Inconcieveable! /s
Kinda cool to hear Mike talking about an rpg he enjoys without irony!
I wish SWTOR had continued to recieve the level of support ESO had from their publisher. Oh well.
SWTOR actually is now receiving alot more support and they’re planning on revamping alot of things since it was sold to a new developer
@@adonysusoh damn fr???? what’s getting added???
@@volatilerain6647 lmao nothing besides the occasional mediocre (at best) story update. That guy is full of shit.
Hey Mike! I'm glad you are enjoying ESO, but you seem to have missed that Blackwood is also in Cyrodiil! It has Leyawin and some of the Argonian settlements just outside of the border. Well worth a look!
It has Leyawiin, Bravil is inaccessible in the pvp zone
@@vulkendov5210 I always get them mixed up in my head. Corrected. Thank you!
For me, ESO's major problem is how adventuring on zones won't fell so rewarding... to have good sets of amor and weapons you gotta do the same dungeon over and over.. after 30 minutes on a specific zone I feel like I'm a infinite grind killing hundreds of easy enemies to meet an easy boss and be rewarded with almost nothing. I would love to be more challenged while exploring zones and be rewarded as such. Furthermore, dungeons are usually played with the unique purpose of rushing and getting the items and xp, so it feels less immersive to me.. sometimes, I can't even read the question dialogs since the party is rushing through the dungeon
same its way to easy, gear nothing matters.
All they need to do is incentivize doing overland missions and make them more difficult as well. Then If hop right in to the game.
I like the game and I love all its lore, but I wish the combat felt meatier and some of the animations look terrible (like your mount at high speeds)
You nailed it. Just booted up Fallout 3 again after years of not playing Bethesda games and now that I'm older it's easier for me to spot the main gameplay loop: you get a quest, go out to the objective, get side tracked by a landmark, clear the place of enemies, get loot, fast travel to a merchant, sell, and upgrade your equipment.
ESO doesn't have that because you just won't be getting any serious loop doing the single player landmarks. There's no great armor or sources of gold you'll just happen to stumble on to. That said, the fact that you can use craft really solid armor that's more than enough to dominate the single player content strikes me as a decent middle ground given that ESO is, at bottom, an MMO
It seems like Mike's Oblivin' his dream...
please see yourself out. lmao
This comment wins
Over the years, they've realized that Elder Scrolls Online should be as little as an MMO as possible.
If they just take away all the MMO nonsense, the class system, the race locking, the weird bow and magic systems, the skills locked to specific weapon types, the predatory cash shop, paid monthly subscription, paid dlc, separate paid dungeons, limited bag space (unless you pay extra), bad PvP, weird dungeon system, poorly implemented mount system, poor enemy AI, and bad pacing... it could almost be a Top 5 game in the franchise.
@@chrismanuel9768 I agree with all of that except the DLC/Subscription stuff honestly.
The expansion prices aren't actually all that unreasonable for how much content they each add, not to mention older ones are cheaper.
Plus the subscription for Elder Scrolls Online does one of my favourite things (which Stellaris has also done recently) and gives you access to all DLC content without having to buy them all individually, for the duration of the subscription.
@@nettogames4268except the latest dlc that everyone is actually playing so what’s the point
@@PainxSorrow
It used to give access to all DLC, but as I said the best way to play ESO is to ignore the fact that it's an MMO, which means 'current content' and what other people are currently playing kind of means nothing, unless you give a damn about dungeons, and even still you can either scrounge up some friends or even there's usually enough people still doing older dungeons.
@@PainxSorrowthat’s what most games do though, no?
I've been an on-again off-again ESO player as well, recently picked up Necrom due to a sale. I'm... curious about Gold Road, but don't know that I'll leap immediately on to it. But I think it's interesting that everyone has "their area" of Tamriel. Mine tend to be the spots on the map that haven't been filled in yet: the dripping, fetid heart of Black Marsh; the weirder, more conceptual planes of Oblivion. If they threaten to bring us back to the Shivering Isles, I can't guarantee I won't be tempted.
You can already visit certain spots of the Shivering Isles during the Mages Guild questline. It's only 5 missions IIRC but gives you a glimpse anyway.
Biggest issue is that it still doesn't have crossplay...if it did I would be on it all the time
Yeah, wish more MMO's did crossplay, FF11 did crossplay as far back as 2002 before the PS2 and 360 servers shut down.
Big agree. What I don't understand is that it MUST be far more expensive to maintain separate servers for every platform. How does it make any sense to restrict players like that?
Either way, yeah.. I just don't enjoy it very much alone, and would love to play it with my S.O. who shares my sentiments. But I'm not going to buy a duplicate console to play one game together. That's nonsense.
@@ledumpsterfire6474wrong, it would cost more to run one large single server unit that has the files and programming for multiple consoles and PC, it's easier for maintenance and bug fixes to maintain them separately from one another.
That's not an issue by any measure, that's an opinion and personal desire. When I did play this game there was always plenty of people online and playing. So it's not like you're lacking people, you just want to play with others who didn't get it on the same console as you. Cross play does not by any measure make or break a game in terms of content. It just upsets you personally, big difference.
@colynrobinson212 no it definitely makes or breaks a game. Same way multiplayer in general can make or break a game for people.
At the end of the day all game options are just opinions so you saying this opinion is not a deal breaker means nothing.
If I can't play with my friends I'm not going to play the game thus not having crossplay is a deal breaker
Used to play ESO on and off for the longest time, the hours on my steam were pretty decent. But the size of the game gig wise, ever expanding made it impossible to keep the game installed. And to this day I don't have the space for it, though I did love it.
A good SSD is not super pricey these days, although you're not wrong about the disc space MMOs require...
Yeah man look into a bigger HDD or SSD. Space is cheap as dl sizes increase
My thing is the combat. I like manually aiming a bow or spells. Can't do that in this one for whatever reason they decided.
Yeah, that feels janky.
Just a quick trip, you should enable quick casting ground ability as it makes the combat feel better.
I always have times I return to ESO because most of the game is pretty fun but combat is always the leading cause to pull me away....that has to be the jankiest combat in all current big MMORPGs....
As much as I agree, knowing how bad the servers are in ESO I'm glad that it is targeted because if it was aimed then no one would be able to hit anything.
I was inducted to the ES cult with Morrowind, and this is exactly how I felt with the Morrowind expansion. Going back to Vvardenfell was so cool. But damnit Mike, I moved on from ESO years ago. Why are you tempting me to plug back in?! I don't have the time...
Going back to morrowind comes with both good and bad nostalgia for me. They basically went rocks fall everyone dies on the entire province after Oblivion. Walking through those familiar areas knowing that by Skyrim none of it is there anymore carries an enormous amount of sadness and melancholy for me.
Cool bells and whistles, a shame the combat feels so lifeless and lacks impact. A lot of the skills are just noises and colors and effects... Enemies just either tank it or die like a target dummy with names.
Yup the combat is stuck in 2014. It lacks creation.
The ESO solo experience is actually pretty solid. Granted, it still doesn't have the same magic as the mainline games, but the quests are pretty solid, the world pretty, combat actually more fun. So I'd def recommend the mainline fans give it a shot and stick just to the solo gameplay. The multiplayer stuff can be an absolute blast but isn't necessary at all to play the quests/explore the continent
Thank you so much for making this video. I was on the fence about getting the new chapter, but the simple premise of "I get to be in Cyrodiil again," without having to worry about getting killed by other players or going through queueing, is enough for me to decide in its favor. The content/gameplay feature enhancements are not very big factors for me as a general Elder Scrolls fan; I just want to immerse myself in the jungles of the West Weald once more and give the beautiful city of Skingrad another visit.
That level locking and Alliance "baggage" you referred to was what gave Cadwell's Gold meaningful story progression and personal achievement. Since One Tamriel auto levelling kills any sense of immersion in open world zones. New players didn't experience that so they don't know what they're missing.
Man I miss ESO. I keep watching the map getting filled, but I have no strengh to install it again.
Hey Mike. Was cool to see you at the ESO event yesterday. Didnt get to actually talk to you unfortunately (my bad, you did seem very apporachable), but glad to see that you too are an enthousiast.
The thing about ESO is that the new player experience is actually horrible. Nothing is explained and you can randomly get different main story quests going at once with no idea what order to do anything in.
Go on the main player board and search. It's easy to find. If you are starting out just do the base game in one of the three starting zones.
as a player since launch with only one break - I 100% agree, and the new tutorial IMO only made it worse :( like... its nice to be able to just explore wherever but at the same time, you are missing out on so much of the little bits of story and call backs when playing out of sequence....
The Portal Room is basically a blatant advertisement to get players interested in buying past content - it wasn't actually for improving the new player experience
“The problem with eso is you have to pay attention, and figure out what’s going on”
@@utah710 nah. It's fuckin bad. I've played MMOs since Final Fantasy 11 and not even that was as bad, and that had PlayOnline you had to get past.
I first got into Elder Scrolls with Oblivion. Never finished it cause my ps3 died and while i had a back up save on an external hard drive.... it was really old from b4 i finished all the guild quests.
I haven't played ESO in about 2 years or so. Was actually thinking about playing again.... now I just might lol
I dropped off ESO for a long time, need to pick up the Necrom expansion still but I've started getting back into it recently.
Lockdown finally gave me a chance to get into ESO and I wound up putting like 100+ hours into it on Stadia (which mercifully they migrated over to PC for us). Fell off after High Isle, but might need to pick it back up if they've fixed Cyrodil!
1:16 the fact that enemies scale to your level is one of the worst things they could have done. It's game breaking for me. No matter how powerful I get, enemies are still a chore. That's not fun.
Hopefully enables steamdeck support. I know it works with some light modifications but i cant be bothered since its file size so large
I love how ESO has the healthiest blend between hardcore and casual players. It's like even the hardcore players understand that TES games can be a bit cozy sometimes, so they can't rage really rage and often just help out the casual players. I think TESO hasn't had as high of highs as WoW, but it has steadily increased in terms of popularity and overall quality more than any other MMO I can recall.
I had the same sense of nostalgia when they let us explore Vvardenfell. Morrowind was my first Elder Scrolls game, and now I have to figure out how much older I am than these guys.
Magnificent video, comrade!😅 I have to agree that interlinking parts to the game are also my favorite. I love the game but I also love the series 😅
I still remember they went from 6 classes in footage to launch with 4, and now we have 7. I was so excited about getting BETA access in late 2013ish
Looks cool. I have been thinking about getting back into ESO again.
I'm an on again off again ESO player. I always manage to pick it back up just before Jubilee though which is happening now. So yay to ESO time!! As a beta & day one player its awesome to see how much the game has evolved over the years.
You make good points in this video Mike, my first Elder Scrolls game was Skyrim and for me, ESO does not have enough of Skyrim's world in it, I know that's the whole point, it's Elder Scrolls Online, Not Elder Scrolls Skyrim Online. Also, like yourself I'm not the best at Player vs Player, better at Player vs Environment. I'm glad the new updates will help you enjoy the game more and the added Oblivion areas should help with the nostalgia yearnings.
How dare you sir!
Disco can never die!
My problem with eso is the fact you can kill a boss with 2 heavy attacks when doing a zone quest
The scaling in ESO is all over the place. One moment a small region looks huge, whilst at another a large zone looks relatively small. Plus the way ZSO is cutting up Tamriel is bizarre, with small slivers of the map being left out of new zones.
Is Mike's mic different from channel's usual or is it on my end?
The biggest thing they could do to draw me back in is get rid of the class system entirely, refocus it on Star Signs that give you some bonuses for whatever build you’re going for, but overall let me just level skills like Skyrim, then I might actually play more than 1 hour of this game. As it stands, it’s still not enough of an Elder Scrolls game for me. People can say all they want about Fallout 76 but when I play that, it still feels like Fallout. I don’t have that feeling with ESO. With ESO it has always felt like they’re trying to shove a square peg into a round hole, I mean they’ve done a great job of trying, that square peg is nearly shoved into the hole by now, but it’s still not all the way in quite yet.
I gotta get back into this game
This video is making me really excited for gold road!! 🤩
Ooo me! I've been a TESO player since the very first beta and I've never left. It's... honestly a huge part of my life. My first game was Skyrim, so I don't have a ton of beloved childhood memories, as I was already in my 20s, but ESO and Zenimax Media's games (ES and Fallout) in general mean a lot to me.
As an on-and-off ESO player myself, my biggest issues with the game are the visuals and animations. I dislike the art style (at least the character design), the animations look cheap and dated and the abilities don't feel impactful enough, you may ne a powerfull Sorcerer in the game but the abilities look like they tickle the enemies rather than destroy them.
When I play ESO I play for the Build Crafing and generally the gameplay part. The story is mostly ok but it hasn't been groundbreakingly good. Star Wars the Old Republic had a better story by far across the board and had choices that gave meaningful flavor. Something ESO has lacked.
I wish the game would look like the cinematic trailers and I wish they would hire more and better writers to add an RPG experience akin to Baldurs Gate 3 or old Bioware games. Then ESO would likely be the best game ever. But as it stands it's fun to hop in and out every now and then.
Don't forget Blackwood with Gideon
Marowind was my first dance with elder scrolls
Also, also, a big chunk of Hammerfel is missing.
I came to this game recently as its the closest I can find to guild wars 2 on a console and my cheap ass PC can't run gw2 well enough on my bad Internet to make it really enjoyable.
But this has similarities i like, such as the map exploration sky shards instead of hero points and multiple class variations on each class just makes for that extra freedom in your character builds.
I think a way to queue for trials would be nice as well for those shy players who will watch what they have to do so they can minimise their vocal interaction.
you can stream gw2 with GeForce Now if you have a potato PC
@simex909 mine t even a potato PC at this point then even with lowest graphics.
I would not recommend doing trials with random players. You should try to find a guild which does raiding for newer players. But I suppose you might have to search a bit.
Love ESO, been playing it for 4 years. Awesome video Mike! Very excited for the new chapter!
weird to think how long ago ESO first came out
I stil hope aganist hope they'll fix the world map a bit and add winterhold! I wanna see uncollapsed version of it!!
Also PLEASE let us have the spells of classes ESPECIALLY the templar and nightblades spells in TES6. Light amd shadow magic is so dope!
I just finished Oblivion a couple months ago after inadvertently stopping back in 2011. I could definitely see having little-to-no PvE in Cyrodiil being an issue and even moreso with missing cities :(
please add an optional difficulty slider, playing with friends and questing is so utterly boring because of how easy everything is. I am begging you zenimax lol
We've been asking for open world hard mode since they dropped One Tamriel lol
I’m glad someone else said it- ESO is a very fun single player game with an optional multiplayer mode I mostly ignore
ESO is my first Elder Scrolls game. The other games seem fun as well but 99% of the time I only game with other people. ESO is a really fun multiplayer experience & with so much to do and explore doing it with a funny group of individuals is the absolute best. peak gaming.
I'm still relatively new to the game and so are my friends but so far I have to say its been the most fun i've had in years. I have yet to really have any problems with the game [other than it having its own launcher for some reason]
They also added blackwood in another DLC, which adds the town of Leyawin as a pve environment. So they have already fixed your biggest problem years ago.
anyone else who will try to 100% Oblivion quests before release of ESO Golden Road?
Been debating whether or not to get back into this....
Wait, did you say 24 million players that’s not accurate I play every day there’s only about 33,000 total a day that’s the max amount of players playing
They lie about players by claiming everyone that's ever played is a "player", even when it's throwaway free accounts for their twice yearly "free weekends". Every time anyone tries it on a new account, even if it's a returning player on a new account or someone with multiple accounts, they claim it as a new player.
If their inflated numbers were true, 10% of the entire population of America would be playing ESO right now. It's blatantly false.
Probably accounts open over different platforms
Necrom was pretty darn good I liked the story a lot I did the prologue for the gold road and feels like we getting a pretty decent story there as well.
Looks interesting! Never gotten into ESO to be honest, maybe it's time to revisit:)
Doubt that scribing will be as hilariously weird as spell crafting in Morrowind, but that's probably for the best:)
Why does your version of eso look so much better and cinematic than the one I've tried though??
How much of ESO is solo friendly?
Quite a bit of it is
Granted, more difficult content will require you to have a pretty good build and knowledge of the mechanics. Even some non-DLC dungeons on vet can easily be solo to be honest with you
Not much honestly, it’s easy to get a lot of stuff thrown at you at once and end up doing multiple main quests that conflict at the same time, plus it’s suuuper money hungry and monetarily focused. They really try to push you to keep spending money.
None. Even the solo story content expects you to do multiple forced multiplayer dungeons. They're not optional. Content outside of the story is PvP, multiplayer dungeons, open world enemies with health and spawn rates balanced for multiplayer, and... that's about it.
The game is designed to force you to play with 2-3 people at all times.
@@chrismanuel9768where do you get that info from? Basically everything despite trials and some newer dungeons cannot be soloed. Zone content as well as normal dungeons are extremely easy for the most part.
with spellcrafting finally being added all I want now is a combat overhaul, even if it's just a sensory overhaul to make it feel more punchy
i, too, like to explore and i so wished that they would have a cyro to explore. not all war torn, but how it was before. and no pvp.
Mike's snarky commentary makes my day
My main issue is I can’t choose my starting area like I started during the morrowind expansion but took a break and when I went to create a new character after the summer set isle expansion I had to start there. No going back to morrowind.
You can level anywhere tho so just walk there
@@KwBeee I know but I like playing through the tutorial stages as to make complete stories plus with each one gone it feels like the work put into the older tutorials are wasted
When I saw the title of this video, Mike was probably the last person I expected to be the one narrating it. Even after all this time, Oxboxtra still manages to surprise me every now and then.
I've only just started a couple of weeks ago (base game, no DLC except Thieves Guild) but it's really impressing me so far, as another filthy casual who just wants to explore & brainlessly fill things with arrows & steal anything that isn't nailed down. There's no way I'm going back to paying a subscription for any game, but I am really tempted to buy the Gold Road Collection Pack or whatever it's called because there's just so much stuff.
I haven't played ESO in nearly as long as it's been out, but if they have a Dinner Party quest in Skingrad, I'll buy it all and catchup just for that quest. That quest alone, probably because I was a kid, is among my all-time favorite memories. I'd save before hand just to re-play it and see how differently I could get it done. Good times!
No mention of them adding all of Blackwood in 2021? This isn't the first time they've added more regions of Cyrodiil
Biggest issue is that the game is unplayable in Australia yet they keep marketing it like it is...
I played for 600 hours or something like that and had a blast but finding people for dungeons was an absolute nightmare locking me out certain content and I had to do PvP to get the best weapons for solo play. On top of having to do dailies- it felt like anything I did was pointless.
Maybe it’s because I tried on PSN. I’d play on PC if I didn’t already have the Ring of the Pale Order
Seems reasonable to check back in again with ESO. I ditched it a year ago or so, but this looks interesting.
I bought ESO when it released and liked it, but didn't play much. Maybe it's time to go back. Looks pretty cool
Coming from Dark Age of Camelot as my first MMO (yep... old...) I actually liked the idea of Cyrodiil...
I hated the poor execution, so much I quit playing TESO after one month until One Tamriel. Well, not the
only reason, but certainly not the weakest one. That being said: I welcome the new area. New areas are always good :)
ESO WAS A DECADE AGO?!?
I might actually play it now!
I am so burnt out of Tamriel for 10/30 years now, I wanna explore other continents of Nirn!! :/
Do the dungeons still have a bunch of other players all running around? Cause I'd like to play ESO but I just can't deal with that.
Yes, they have quests to do also.
It’s only a matter of time before Cyrodil becomes full PVE
The random ingame sound breaks are Awful for audio listeners... not sure why the combat sounfs are being shown off they're really not the selling point
My player experience dates back to Morrowind and I’ve played everything since. Somehow I’ve never played ESO but this video has intrigued me in a way I haven’t been before. Maybe it was the MMO lite comment. I’m not too much of a PvP person in my elder scrolls journey
You can avoid PvP in ESO without even noticing you're missing anything.
@@Deinareia exactly this. I play on PS5, am in two very active guilds, and I will not go into PvP areas. I still enjoy the heck out of the game
PvP is such a small part of the totality of ESO, yet at the same time you could play ESO purely PvP also. Many do
@@mattmalcore801 yup, and I know quite a few who do. One of the other officers in the guild I've been in since 2017 is like that. Once he beat the original story he almost never comes back to PvE. Only to do the new dungeons and trials.
i really hope scribing aka spell making is super fun and unique for atleast a few weeks i know deep down that all the meta andys will suck the fun out of it eventually but i think the time during those weeks will be fun af just figuring out whats fun to use ect
Welp time to get back into ESO!
My problem with this game us is that the questing is just so easy that it makes it very dull to explore for me. There’s no challenge besides me forcing to maybe playing a new character i don’t want to.
there is one problem for me-there is no monk class...
I'm the opposite to you, and I'd prefer we get to see and explore new areas and lore over getting re-hashed versions of places that we've already seen 3D animated. ESO: Elsweyr is still my favourite part of the game for that reason.
Wish this video had some equalized audio jfc went from quiet to ear bleeding loud...
Torvesaard or whatever his name is, is interesting.
Im hype im gonna sub soon trying to get into the game if i still like it after the sub ends i might preorder the new expansion
Oh, I might have to get back into ESO
Bro rhat scorpion mount looks like a hazard
My biggest problem with ESO is it deleted most of what makes ES games fun and monetized the rest of it. There’s nearly no world clutter and you can’t move or place anything that is there, AND the homes are monetized. So what you’re left with is essentially a competent reskin of WoW. And that’s fine, but not a compelling reason for me to play it beyond the test run I gave it.
I also dislike that questing rewards are lower tier than dungeons. I HATE games that reward you better for queuing levels 1-max than actually playing the rest of the game. It’s two totally different play styles and you don’t need to incentivize queuing. The people who are gonna do it are gonna do it. Trouble is, they’re playing alongside people like me who view steamrolling the same dungeon five times for drop upgrades and then switching to the next tier as a chore that’s pulling them away from everything else.
And you know what? The dedicated dungeon players don’t want me there.
