There are some difficult fights, sure, but for the most part, it’s just hacking, slashing, and flinging spells at your targets over and over again. If you’re looking for a complex combat system, you’re not going to find it in ESO. Whether you’re in Wood Elf territory or talking to Khajit elites, there’s a well-scripted quest you’re going to want to complete. However, The Elder Scrolls Online allows you to participate in core storyline quests in every map you travel to in Tamriel. I tend to save the main quest for last so I don’t accidentally finish the game before I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly. ![]() I love a good quest, but some quests are better than others. While most skills and skill trees can level up through combat, the crafting skills require you to actually craft to level them up. To morph a skill, you will need to spend one of your skill points, but the benefit is almost always worth it. Once a skill, and skill tree, level up to a certain point, you have the ability to morph your skills into a better version. You can choose to gain access to certain skills by spending skill points on them, and then level them up by using them in combat. What skills you have access to can depend on your race, vocation, guild affiliation, or certain quest lines. For every level you gain, you get access to attribute points and skill points. Like any good RPG, Elder Scrolls Online allows you to level up not only your base stats but your skills as well. And if you have a solid party, you can even take on some of the group dungeons and monsters. Many of the quests and dungeon crawls can be completed more quickly if you aren’t by yourself. If you do want to play online with friends, you certainly can. Most of the time you’ll actually be glad when other players come by and help you kill something because experience is shared. While there are other players running around and completing quests beside you, you don’t have to interact with them if you don’t want to. The majority of the quests and fights can be handled solo if you use your skillset effectively. One of the best things about Elder Scrolls Online as an MMORPG is that you don’t have to play with friends to enjoy the game. This allows you to wander off in any direction and still gain experience through unique quests and challenges. If exploration is what you’re after, this MMORPG has it in spades.Īdditionally, the game actually encourages exploration by having quest-givers at almost every ruin, dungeon, or cave you stumble across. ![]() The Elder Scrolls Online does a great job of promoting this type of gameplay by giving you access to maps across all of Tamriel. Sure, there’s the main storyline I’ll eventually follow, but straying off the beaten path is what makes these open-world games worth playing. One of the main reasons I love the Elder Scrolls games is the sheer amount of exploration to be done. While ESO can be too easy at times, it’s a wonderful addition to the series. Whether you want to play solo or in a group, you have plenty of options. Even if you manage to finish all of the solo quests, the developer (Zenimax Studios) is still releasing additional updates.Īdditionally, as an online game, ESO offers the ability to play with friends or even strangers without forcing you to do so. With seemingly endless quests, exploration, and lore, it’s a great way to enjoy new Elder Scrolls content. ESO offers something more, and a lot of it. Though Skyrim is still worth playing in 2021, there are only so many hours you can log into that game before it starts to become repetitive - even now that the Anniversary Edition is out. All-in-all, it’s a great title to play while we wait for The Elder Scrolls VI. And while it is an online game, most of the quests and fights can be taken on solo. The game itself isn’t exactly like Skyrim or Oblivion, but it makes up for it by allowing you to travel all over Tamriel. The Elder Scrolls Online is definitely worth playing in 2021. Years later, however, I’ve found myself finally giving in and loving every minute of it. I love most games like Skyrim, but the idea of an MMORPG version of The Elder Scrolls games didn’t sit right with me. When Elder Scrolls Online first came out back in 2014, I didn’t want anything to do with it. ![]()
