A few question I have., Been gone along time, want to see if I want to come back or not.

I have been away from ESOTU for a year or so. I bought ESO for my Mac when it first came out but didn't like the subscription fee. Played it again when there was no subscription fee but never liked playing on the PC. So when it became available for Xbox One, I bought it again. I played it but then stopped because of life. Just didn't have the time. Well now sadly I have lots of time on my hands now. I lost my job, so until I can get a new one, I have lots of time on my hands now. So I am thinking of coming back to play ESO since I missed playing in the Elder Scrolls Universe. I can't play Skyrim on Xbox One and since prefer playing these types of games on console instead of the computer, I am thinking ESOTU would be a great place to try again.

I am not sure what to do. While I haven't played much I will be starting over again. I was like level 10 or 15. I guess the furthest I got was when I was an Altmer and I was with the Queen trying to to the quest in some cave to kill a boss monster. Was never able to kill him. Now I started the game, but I lost the "feel" of my character. So I am thinking of starting a new game.

So with the new expansions are out, I am wondering, do I buy the expansions, or is it better to go with the subscription for 2 or 3 months? How much do the expansions cost now? How much in real money does it cost? I know to buy them is in, in game currency but how much real money is that? What is a monthly fee now? Do I really need them? Do they add a more enjoyable experience?


I can't remember what characters are and do now. I want to play and not restart anymore so I thought I would ask here as well what I should be looking at. Have they changed since the beginning or are they drastically different now? As I said in my last game I was an Altmer since I liked casting magic spells. I am not sure with all the changes now, if magic has changed and if I should still pick Altmer to get the most magic or should I be looking at another race?

What I would like to do is, be able to cast magic. I would say I want to be sneaky as well, but last time I played, there was no real options for being sneaky that I can remember. Has this changed now? Do the expansions let us be really sneaky? What race and class should I be looking at with someone who is great at swords, magic and sneaking?

I just saw something about Dark Brotherhood DLC and it's out for PC/Mac. Does that mean it's not out yet for Xbox One/PS4?

Thanks for your time reading this. I will appreciate all the help I can get.

Where is the edit button?

One thing I forgot, if I should play on my Mac, can I plug in my Xbox One Elite controller on the Mac now and play as if it was on the console or is there still no support for controllers on the PC?

First I would say subscribe first, you'll have access to all the dlcs and you can decide if you wanna buy them or not.

You will get crowns with your subscription, you can even save up these crowns, cancel your subscription, then buy the dlcs with said crowns if you wanna.

Edit button is buy the Title for threads

Sneaky magicka Nightblade is both magical,and sneaky

I personally do not subscribe now, but have done so to do the above.

I'm really glad I have all the dlcs.

I have no idea about computer stuff tho, and DB just came out for PC

The DB DLC is not out for consoles yet. but to be honest? Thank for that. The general patch changed sooooo much. Which I for one welcome... However:
A lot of stuff is broken. For example the stance you have with different weapons is bugged. If you have a bow for example and change to daggers, you'll hold the daggers like a bow.
They removed cool features (like the DPS dummy) without saying it, and introduced "features" that the testers EN MASSE told them not to add (and then the community).
Now for example you have a huge, obstructing and unimmersive shield of light indicating that you are blocking NO MATTER THE WEAPON and NO MATTER if you are playing on PvP or PvE.
Also a bow heavy attack indicator that replaces the texture of your bow with a white one, overwriting even the enchantment texture.

For us, players that want to play on the TES universe... live in it... It's becoming impossible.
They also introduced ugly new health bars (thank the gods THAT one is optional... The indicators are forced on you)

If you like PvP however you'll have a blast... That is if you are willing to put up with the new strange bugs that will teleport you across the map without warning, the huge nerfs and the lack of balance introduced after they changed almost all (if not all) the skills.

Take a look at the indicators:













And take a look at some of the thread discussing them:

For the other problems, just take a look in the forums.
Suffice to say that Zenimax has answered only with silence.

Tbh... Just play other game. or make your voice heard.

Thanks for the comments I appreciate them.

Stoltvert said something about PvP. I forgot to mention I would be playing the game Solo. I don't know how to play with other people in an MMO, or how to talk or chat with them. So I would be playing single player except maybe with my son. I always wanted to play Elder Scrolls with him.
