Hello Forum, I logged into the PTS recently to start a new character and see what the new starting experience was like. I had previously seen a bit on a ZOS livestream but was interested to try it myself.
I like that you are immediately greated by Lyris.
I like that they give a bit more clear direction on combat.
Sneaking up on the eye is really neat and introduces stealth.
Unlocking the door provides a tutorial of sorts that wasn't there before at all
Overall I think the opening sequence is much better now than what is was at launch but there is still the issue of player choice imo. It was made clear very early in the starting sequence that you are going to be using a 2 handed sword and given no choice about it. I made the suggestion in the video that we would be provided a choice of weapons as soon as we left the tutorial but I think its very important that as an Elder Scrolls game ZOS maintains the standard of player choice.
