One of the best Elder Scrolls experiences.Show moreShow less
Going to be clear and concise, this is not the typical Elder Scrolls game that you are probably expecting. It's different. It has the same feel and tone, but it lacks in immersion. The gameplay is bland, the characters are forgettable, the graphics are decent. It's your typical MMO. I really want to enjoy this game though. I've played thousands of hours on the ES series and ESo somewhat fixes what has been lacking. However, it has forgotten what made Elder Scrolls what it is.Show moreShow less
├ Digitals Review 👌🏻 ┤ Score 60/100 Game Pros • Giant fully explorable beautifully designed world • Night/Day Cycle (3 hours each) • Weather • 1st and 3rd person is easily accessible • Designated PvP area • Customer support is very helpful • Various lines and skills for crafting • Ton of possible character builds • Mass amount of quests. (You'll have a hard time running out of things to do) • Frequent updates • A lot dungeons ranging in difficulty for you and your friends (or random players) to complete. • Microtransactions are mainly all cosmetics (Other than mounts and crafting styles) Game Cons • If you have poor internet, prepare for the longest download. (80Gb) • You can only group up with players from the same faction. So if your friends join a different one, you're out of luck • Minor bugs (Rooms can take a little to fully load, possible freezing/crashing) • Pricing of mounts is a little high (It takes awhile for the normal player to earn even 10,000 Gold. While most horses are 42,000 gold. Other than that, there is one that is 10,000 Gold. Only other option is buying it through the micro-transaction store) • Only guild stores and AI markets. There is no public tradepost (like you would find in Guild Wars) Controversial Features • Leveling system can be EXTREMLY slow, and may take a lot of time and effort to level up Relateable Games • Guild Wars • WoW • Skyrim Conclusion Elder Scrolls Online is a very fun and potentially an addicting Massive multiplayer online game. 900+ quests, giant open world map with a ton of caves, and dungeons, to explore. Sure there is some cons here and there, but overall I would reccomend this game to any person who enjoys MMOs. In the first 2-3 days of having it, I hit 30+ hours of gameplay. If you got the money and time, i'd pick this one up for sure. And no, you can not do shouts, and there is no dragons. This isn't skyrim. (If you found this review helpful, consider giving it a thumbs up!)Show moreShow less
Their last privacy agreement update (January 1st, 2021) states they will "sell" users information, including name, email and billing address to third party companies (including social media and advertising).

A highly realistic game. Spawned as a half naked man in the starting dungeon. Want to get the tutorial over with as soon as possible, so I rush through it and don't open any chests . Five minutes later I get to the first city as a half naked man without any clothes. Other players stop to look at me. They shake their roleplaying heads. They throw money at me. "Buy some clothes!". I start dancing. They throw more money at me. More roleplaying fanatics come over. They clap for me. I continue dancing. Even more money is being thrown. I am Lockmort, naked beggar master of dance, just like in real life. 11/10.Show moreShow less

I am a 58 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I am a single farther to my Son, who is 14 now. My son got this game for Christmas in 2021 from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So I decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. I loaded into the game, picked my character and world and started playing but I was stuck on what you where supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he hosted a game for me to join. I loved it as it was the best time I had spent with my Son since my wife had died. This game has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my Son many happy memories.Show moreShow less
