12/28/2023 0 Comments Elder scrolls online reviewAnyone who is into Elder Scrolls lore like I am will be thrilled to see Vivec City in its formative years, still under construction, with Vivec himself overseeing the the project many years before the city’s eventual demise. The story focuses on the living-god Vivec, and solving a mystery of his unexplainable loss of power. Like all of the other quests in the game, it was very entertaining, not just by MMORPG standards, but just RPG standards period. I didn’t stop for a ton of side quests (I did some) and mostly walked around everywhere to explore and take everything in rather than flying around on a mount or warping everywhere. It took me about 10 hours to complete it. The main quest line in particular was impressive. Although not a decision-based RPG, there was a nice handful of quests that I could impact the resolution of through my choices which is a very nice touch for a MMORPG. Quests were refreshingly varied with objectives, had interesting dialogue (with lots of freedom to dig in for more details or the option to just get to the point), and contained memorable characters that had that Elder Scrolls quirkiness to them. More so than any other MMORPG I’ve played, and I’ve played quite a few. The new quests on Vvardenfell, including the main line, was superbly put together and worthy of the Elder Scrolls name. What better place to start than perhaps the most iconic in all Elder Scrolls lore, the province of Morrowind. It made it easier for players of any level to group up together and tackle content free of restrictions or for “lone wolf” characters to play the game as if they would any other single player Elder Scrolls game. I had heard of positive changes the massive One Tamriel update did for the game last year. For some it was, but for myself and many others it wasn’t, and after a passing glance at reviews and gameplay, I moved on.įast forward to the present, and I was presented the opportunity to give TESO: Morrowind a shot and jumped at it. I was just like anyone else cautiously hoping that TESO would be the multiplayer Elder Scrolls experience many have dreamed of. At the time of the game’s original launch though, my writing career was just getting started and I wasn’t assigned to cover its launch. I’ve played MMORPGs since my pre-teen years starting with Ultima Online and eventually Final Fantasy XI. I’ve been skeptical of The Elder Scrolls Online ever since the original version of the game released to lukewarm reviews back in 2014. Any impressions of high-end content geared towards returning, experienced and well equipped players will be done separately and will NOT factor into our launch day review score. Thus, our review score will be focused on the new player experience in TESO: Morrowind and its story content. The Morrowind expansion to The Elder Scrolls Online (TESO) is fairly unique that it can be the starting point of a new player and its main quest can be completed by anyone at any level unlike other MMORPGs.
