May 2025
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.

I treat the game like a big singleplayer with the occasional social interaction. Lots of lore, stories, collectibles and a beautiful environment. Not much of an end game player. Got my main geared up as good as possible for a solo player and can tackle much of the game on my own at my own pace.

Stoped playing World of Warcraft to get away from mmos for a whille . . . Started ESO since i was bored and other releases are overpriced ea titles . . . Much better community than wow at least , much more solo friendly since most of my friends play fps mostly . If you are unsure about it just give it a try over free weekends and check it for yourself instead reading about it since we all have our own opinions and likes .
