The Elder Scrolls Online

It's pretty good, there's a LOT to do and it is fun to play alone or with friends. I like the game quite a bit, but I never enjoy it as much as I do playing with my grandmother, she has thousands of hours in ESO lol

I like the game,hate the makers of the game. They promised in the beginning that all Dlc content would be free if you bought the game. They lied!

I play this game mostly for classic elder scroll exploration and quest experience, treating it like other elder scroll single player game while ignoring many of it's multiplayer aspects. Experiencing morrowind in the past before ES3 Morrowind release, meeting character of legends mentioned in some elder scroll games. It's been great!

Review from Oblivion / Skyrim player who does not play MMO´s

it´s surprisingly good.
i wasnt expecting all voices to be not only voice acted, but better than what we got for usual bethesda games.

the main storyline is very epic and grandiose.
the side-quests are lower stakes and entertaining.
crafting seems very involved though i didnt get into it much, same with house building.

phenomenal music.
great to visit some places i had never seen and re-visit some old favourites such as morrowind.

seems like the game can be played fine solo but it´s not difficult to find groups for the harder dungeons.

the downside; you better do what i did and wait for a decent sale otherwise it´s quite expensive if you want to purchase the whole game with all the areas.

that´s about it for the bad part, can´t think of anything else really..
i´m enjoying my time exploring and probably will continue to do so for quite a bit of time.

ESO is a game that tells you that a subscription isn't required, and then super glues a crafting bag to you with a big combination lock with enough tumblers to put your credit card info in.
ESO is also a game that, at every level up, feels like it's jingling keys in your face, your character screaming in what i can only hope is excitement, as a new dungeon unlocks for queue. but most early dungeon queues are terrible to sit through, highly recommend doing quests while you wait.
Elderscrolls online feels like a world that doesn't want you here, but since you've bothered installing is trying to entertain you just enough that you'll pay the monthly sub.

I've done everything there is to do in this game. Group Content, Solo Play, Housing, Fishing, Card Game, Achievement Chasing, Questing, Thievery, Murder, Melee and Range Weapons, PVP and PVE, became a multi-millionaire and have played dirt poor. There is no "End" in the game, do whatever parts you like and leave the rest or do it all. Ask questions respectfully in zone chat, someone will answer. There are always events to look forward to or take part in, join Guilds and talk to people or join guilds and don't talk to people. There is something for everyone. Make your character look and act however you'd like. It's up to you. Make multiple characters. I like that today I can focus on doing dungeons and trials with my guild or with a random group and tomorrow I can craft things to make myself and my house look pretty, and the next day I can race around the world rescuing NPCs or aiding fellow players who are on the same world quests as I am or are in my PVP alliance. In ESO the world is your oyster, just find your groove.

This game is not very much like Skyrim/Oblivion/Morrowind in mechanics; it has the same theme but it is quite unique. You can customize any class to be a tank, healer, or dps. Some are definitely better than others in some roles because of core class mechanics (Templars are EXTREMELY good healers vs. a Nightblade healer , Dragon Knights are insane tanks but Sorcerers make totally insane tanks as well), however any class played "well" can excel.
While levelling up, if you do random normal dungeon queues, be prepared for breakneck pace dungeoneering at times. I personally don't mind taking it slow even at a meagre max level + 800 CP, but there are people with thousands of hours in this game who have done these dungeons probably thousands of times. They can (mostly) solo them and are just getting the once-a-day queue XP / rewards or just having a grand ol' time, but be advised you will encounter this type of situation. Most folks will happily help you with a quest if you ask, but as with all games, there are also some VERY sweaty people in here.
In terms of subscription, you miss newer things but there is a TON to do for free with the base game. You can hit max level/CP, sell via auctions (you have to be in a guild with a trader though, but you can do that without subscribing). You can buy houses and decorations with gold (but crowns are locked behind subscrip/purchase). Your inventory is a bit smaller but it really isn't a big deal. There are four free classes: Nightblade, Sorcerer, Dragon Knight, Templar. Purchasable classes are: Warden, Necromancer, Arcanist.
If pve is your thing, theres TONS of free quests and stories. Decent if not great voice acting for it as well.
If pvp is your thing, let me tell you about CYRODIIL. A 24/7 combat zone with capturable forts with capturable resources, and mostly destructable structures. Mostly because it's mostly the fortress wall sections and inner fortress sections / doors that can be destroyed to get to capture the flags within. I have been in at peak hours where there can be 200+ players from all 3 factions swarming a fortress (it doesn't happen often and if you are new you will have to earn peoples trust before grouping generally, so you will need to figure out how to FIND the group on the map, listen to map calls and respond, before being able to get into the zerg). I have a couple screenshots of huge battles I've had that have been so cool. It will be brutal too; you will get WRECKED by nightblade gankers and stupidly tanky sorcerers. Looking up builds helps you to find a groove. I prefer to play a slippery nightblade healer in heavy armor (sometimes light armor though in some situations). I can't kill anyone except with siege equipment, but I'm stupidly hard to kill and i can literally disappear and phase back in to full heal someone and then dip out again; but there's always a rock/paper/scissors to beat something.
