The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind expansion announced
- Thread starter LiQuid!
- Start date
One of the packs is only a group of 4-man dungeons. Rest has solo content.
Very cool. Will definitely jump back in. I love Morrowind.
June kind of stinks though, busy time of the year
Anyone who has purchased all 4 DLCs...is it worth it when you are mostly SP?
I have all 4 DLCs but have only played Orsinium primarily and it was fucking awesome. Fun storyline and good zone design.
I haven't touched the Dark brotherhood DLC yet outside visiting the Gold Coast (which is awesome. Oblivion nostalgia overload), and the city from the Thieves Guild DLC.
The Imperial City DLC I'm waiting for a friend to get a bit further in before we play that together. They can all be solo'd though. Imperial City a little bit less so. Tougher content.

Okay, take all this work and remake TES: Morrowind please.
Hmm, I'm not sure I like them calling this expansion "Morrowind" and re-releasing the game under that same name. Because now they have 3 things called Morrowind: TESIII, the expansion and the re-release of the full game. It's kinda confusing.
And while I like ESO and play it from time to time, I don't feel like this expansion can ever be as good as TESIII: they have Vvardenfell but the trailer and screenshots don't feel like Vvardenfell - rather just like the rest of ESO. They nailed the box art and the collector's edition though.
Also, from the Steam page:

This is funny because that is exactly what happened after Morrowind (ugh, but this new thing is called Morrowind too). So I guess that had almost happened before, with this new lore.

Orisinium, Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood are all 95% soloable and they are all really fun areas.
The Imperial City is 100% PVP focused.
Honestly I kind of prefer the Dunmer in ESO to the rest of TES.
Consoles play an absolutely crucial role in that. Baffling to me that swtor has always been "nope" when it comes to consoles.
Absolutely. Same with Final Fantasy 14. So nice to see 2 games with so much effort poured into them that launched as a bit of a fiasco turn around and become so well loved by their communities. In such an unforgiving genre too.

That snippet of the Morrowind theme at the end of the trailer was perfect.
That was a pretty bad ass trailer. ESO always had awesome CG trailers. I just wish it came out May 1 like Morrowind but June 6 is cool too since that was the original Xbox release! It just seems so far away.
I'm also now debating to save all my Gold and wait to buy a nice house in Morrowind.

exactly how I feel.
You can take an old character there, or create a new one and start in Vvardenfell.
I mean... that's Morrowind. Much of the main arc of that game is to do with the Dwemer.
It's an expansion. You can use all of your old characters.

That's what I liked about it actually, a big merchant dude who shows the kind of variation in body type that real people have. Not all elves are thin and fey. Seemed like a cool guy.

Allright, then I think im gonna make a new one and start from there. Morrowind was my entry into TES and I can't wait to re-visit all the old places <3

I've been curious about this game for a while because the MMO's I currently play have gotten stale and I've very little left to do outside of when a new patch drops.
Very tempting to pick up now as Morrowind was my first elder scrolls game... Hm.

I'm curious myself, to add onto this question. How is the PS4 player-base compared to PC?

Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited is like $11 on cdkeys or $30 for the gold edition. Is the latter version with the extra money?
Both console playerbases are very populated. It's a pretty even split between all 3 systems with PS4 edging out just a little bit.

If you plan on subscribing then get the regular version because then you'll get the DLC with the subscription, but if you don't want to sub for the extra xp and shit then get the gold edition.

I'd say yes. Really great content.
Keep in mind the cd key version is not the steam version most likely. It's the Bethesda launcher version and it can't be transferred over. If you want it on steam gold often goes on sale for 30.
Very healthy on both consoles. Wouldn't be surprised if they exceeded pc at times. But all 3 platforms are doing great in terms of steady numbers it seems. Have to give them big kudos to turning the game around massively since launch.
lol there is some truth here
The best thing about a new class in ESO is that each class is basically 5 new classes in one due to the way you can spec every class as a tank(mag or stam), healer, or DPS (mag or stam). I personally love playing tanks and my main is currently a magicka templar tank.
Looking foward to seeing what's possible with the Warden, maybe as a healer with its defensive ice magic line. It sounds right up my alley.

Seems like cdkeys might give you issues, I was also looking in to getting it there (see comments): https://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/36womu/deactivation_of_fraudulently_obtained_esotu_game/

Looks like I need to go hard into ESO this time around. Juggling 2-3 MMOs at a time is difficult though.

Fuck me that looked nice.
Bethesda could make a pretty decent ES cg movie at this point. They've got all the races, locations and lore to work with.
Can't wait to see Vivec

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I don't play when I'm not subbed anymore, because that damn bag is so useful. I really wish you could buy it permanently.
This is my #1, most desired feature for Elder Scrolls Online, ANY Elder Scrolls for that matter, or actually every video game to be quite honest. Spears are the most criminally underrepresented weapon in games and it's something I carry with me at all times.

You haven't played ESO. There is a shockingly minimal amount of "collect 5 bear asses." Or even "kill 5 war berserkers, 6 battlemages, and 3 healers." Most quests are actually story significant. The most common boring quests are "visit the 3 fountains and use the tuning orb" or whatever. You kill things because they are in your way, not because they drop anything that you need for the quest.
