Quest bombardment in Starter Zone city
I recently statrted playing ESO on Xbox and had played this game before on PC and PS4. I decided to chose ESO plus to give me a better start with inventory. I really also wanted to just play through the initial questlines before exploring any new zones created over the years. However, when my character finally arrived at her starting city, I was literally bombarded with quest markers and quest givers popping out at every turn. Most of these were quest givers for new DLC yest their markers are not really distinguished from other quest givers in that zone. In my case Daggerfall was the starting zone yet to was very difficult to pick the quests just for that area’s main quests. After playing a couple of days confusing days this way, I would like to make some suggestions.
1. Distinguish the prologue quests for other zones/DLC differently - every marker is the same and often times you cannot figure it out until you accept the quest. Why not have these quest be different markets ir colors when not fir current zone?
2. Organize the quest givers for different zones /new DLC in a separate area so as not to confuse the new player
3. Make the quest journal larger to accomodate the hundreds of starting quests in the starter zones. 25 quests fills up quckly and a new player is forced into journal management from the get go.You need to constantly abandon quests in order to go back to the original quest you were tracking. It is very overwhelming for new player to start off this way.
4. Why not have an option a player can enable in order to filter out only the main zone story quests and quest related to the current zone? I play on Xbox and we don’t have the option of convenient add-ons
5. After retuning to the game a few years later, I am amazed that nothing has been done with journal management when so much new content has been introduced.
