I've been with this game since early beta. Absolutely love the base game content. Still play is over and over with different characters and combinations to this day. However, there is a distinct difference in the quality (in my opinion), and type of writing in many of the chapters. By that I mean..... base game is a little, dare I say "darker"? A little more mature? New chapters seem to be a little more light hearted and even a bit "bubbly". Such as the sisters in the Ghosthunters side-quest in Solstice. Utterly annoyed me, maybe even a touch childish. I found High Isle utterly predictable. And the format of the game and the writing got stale for me.

Maybe a Prince could get their way for once?

I took Gold Road and Solstice off. Got them when they were on sale a year after launch. I hope the quality and style of the future content get more like the base game feel.

I gotta agree with that, I mean, i am still half way there, and just like you, I never got there because I always went back to playing the base game again as I LOVE how dark and sad the story in EP can be, and less so but still good in the other areas.

So far from Vvardenfel to Elsweyr was very good, and I really hope that Tharn found a way to survive but if not, that was an epic ending to a legend, and for me Skyrim was a good story as well, not AS good, but still good but reading all the comments I might be utterly disappoined from Blackwood onwards... WHY do they need to "tone down" the stories? Is not like the main player base is kids.

Now I like my humour, I mean, I love the silliness of Rigurt, Laurent and Stibbons, Narsis Dren, I love reading the rivalry between Lady Cinabbar and Phrastus, and contrary to what I now see(I thought she was a fan favorite) I love Eveli, even in Blackwood.... but the game didn't need to be all silliness and if they are leaning towards that in the following chapters that I have not played(and any future content), then it will be a disappointment.

Can you imagine a DLC zone with the Tanlorin vibe? "Sorry tree, we need your flesh chunk" (Annoying AF laugh) Nope, I hope they don't lean that way for future areas as some have mentioned, I hope they are wrong lol

Some are talking about servers being merged. Some are talking about console players having to start over on PC.

Does anyone actually have the first idea what ZOS mean by "crossplay" and how they intend to implement it? Have ZOS ever explained it? I'm not aware that they have, certainly not in any detail.

Maybe i am dreaming but they have said. Nobody will lose progress. We will also be able to play with our own accounts cross platform. So if i ever get a Console, i can play with my PC account there. If a Console player gets a PC, they can also play with their account there.

Greyhost is intended for end game players, everyone there participating should be "hardcore" by the definition of the rest of the community, same as vet trial pvers, and especially the hardcore mode enjoyers.

No one's telling them they're too sweaty and need to have their content lose focus for everyone else to enjoy their content on easier casual modes for the same rewards, or worse, more rewards than what they're doing despite it being harder.

I really, really loathe this focus on calling greyhost enjoyers who dont want vengeance "tryheard sweats". Lol that has a lot of mileage apparently and is a very, very varied and wide spectrum.

There are absolutely would be if vet trials players were constantly fighting tooth and nail to prevent a normal version of trials.

Furthermore, most PvP games don't force new and casual players to fight against top 500s. They have separate matchmaking for a reason. PvP as it stands now has needed different modes/maps so that there is actually choice for a long time now.

ravenwatch, below 50

Summerset is probably the last actual zone with a main quest I was ok with. Blackwood was a bit too featureless and from then on I've generally avoided the zone main quest if i can. I will say that generally the zones other than west weald are really well designed from a world perspective. West weald someone left saturation and vibrance at 100%

Insead of holding down Shift on PC to run/ride (instead of walking), make Shift a Toggle function. Hit it once, you're running, hit it again, you're walking.

I've asked for this before on Console sadly no luck, it's a great idea. It's like we are back in the early days of programming sometimes sigh.

How long until ESO uses AI quests?

Game lands are expensive to develop, and fixed quests are expensive to develop. So now, the game design is, spend a lot to make a zone, have one fixed set of quests, you do them, and you're basically 'done' with the zone for questing, which is the main activity for a zone.

AI is now able to generate unique quests and stories for your character, to personalize them, say to your class, to your game history, and to create AI voicing for them, all very cheaply.

It's a move to essentially unlimited re-use of zones and unlimited replayabiliity.

It's a compelling case as a huge increase in content for players and cost reduction for the game. How long until they decide to do it?

No.
