    Hrm... is it just me, or does anyone notice that these types of videos tend to run at kind of low frame rates? Is that just an "evil" of the recording process? The game just seems to look and run a lot smoother when I'm actually playing it. Good video though! I'm hyped and I already own the game :)

    Very nice trailer. Makes me wish I could rediscover the game now as if I had never played it before :)

    But it also makes me wish there were more zones that allow for truly free exploration, less guided by one-time story quests, more like repeatable content and adventures that are a bit different every time you do them.

    Ok; Im sorry I got to play the dumb card here; as "provinces" are confusing to me.

    So with Tamriel Unlimited are you saying that any character regardless of faction can travel to anywhere on the map; unlike last year when you were really restricted? So a Daggerfall area Character can travel completely across the globe??

    I logged into a character and I was counting the highlight'able map areas and ironically it was greater than 9 so I just wanted to make sure that while my current character is on the East side of the Globe he can travel completely to the West Side without any walls?

    Thank you.

    PS. With this answer it could bring my friend back to ESO lol

    After you have spent hundreds of hours questing to level up, you can indeed travel to all provinces of Tamriel, even though most of Black Marsh and Elsweyr are inaccessible at the moment, as are large parts of Skyrim, Morrowind and Summerset Isles.

    At the start of the game, your character is restricted to visit only your own faction's zones. After reaching level 50 and finishing the main story in Coldharbour, you start questing in the zones of the other factions, starting with one and continuing with the other after you are done with the same quest line a newbie character would do, only with tougher mobs.

    Oh well that part I knew in regards to reaching level 50 and traveling across the globe.

    I thought this announcement was allowing like Level 5 players to go anywhere

    don't get mad at my spelling, autocorrect doesn't cover fantasy.
    Why couldn't the Khajiit go to the party? She had to be Elsweyr.

    A lot of ZOS's announcements create false messages as of late.

    Read it again, it says:

    "For the first time in The Elder Scrolls series, Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited allows players to travel to all nine provinces of Tamriel."

    This has been true since launch I believe. It doesn't say any character, AT ANY LEVEL, is allowed to travel to all nine provinces. Any player IS allowed to travel to any province, provided that that player has EARNED that right by completing the quests required... Cadwell's Silver and Cadwell's Gold quests allow for this, as well as the daily Undaunted pledges are examples...

    So are they just marketing these announcements towards Console players then?

    This so called "Tamriel Unlimited" announcement means nothing to PC players?

    I mean yes I understand there will be *some* changes within the PC platform of "Tamriel Unlimited" but I was thinking these announcements were for all platforms including PC and that line would mean that as a PC player you can travel within those 9 provinces.

    And since us PC players have played the game since April of 2014 we of course know/knew that we had to obtain a specified level before we could just travel anywhere anytime.

    Uggghhh
