Does anyone actually think questing is fun?

Deadfinger6

I like seeing new places and generally have to do quests to get there, but yeah I'd say fun. Especially meeting fellow questers and NPCs

I love the dialog in most quests and NPC's, although some are more enjoyable than others.

Agstarg: There's an old Orcish saying about shields. I don't remember what it is.... Buy a shield.
Me: Do you sell shields?
Agstarg: No.
Me. Thanks for the advice.

The writers for this game have some funny stuff out there. Like the cat who likes to eat flowers, hey fancy man and some others.

I listened to all the quests.

There are a lot of stinkers but many quests are good and funny to boot.

edit: also, did you know there's usually different voice acted lines from NPC's before, during, and after quests are over? The amount of voiced dialogue in this game is staggering.

I've been playing since beta and just yesterday I found the group of Hoarfrost Downs recruits you talk into joining the Lion Guard. They are chilling at the Shornhelm Castle when you finish the zone's questline (if you do the Hoarfrost Downs quests, naturally). Just little Easter eggs hither and yon.

As the central feature of almost every single DLC and now the Morrowind xpac, does anyone actually enjoy questing? I would think that most people are like me and just skip the dialogue and move to the objective that the all knowing marker tells me to go to. There's no choice, consequence, or impact to any of my actions and listening to dialogue for 5 minutes at a time seems tedious and keeps me away from what I really want to be doing which is killing things.

"i don't playing like this, therefore people should be playing exactly like me"

seriously?

I thought it was more:

"I don't play like that, you are stupid if you do."

There are all kinds of figures bandied around but the consensus is that most people don't even bother entering Cyrodiil. Just what does he think attracts all these players to the game?

The joys of grinding the hell out of mudcrabs?

I enjoy all quests your not supposed to skip dialogue and do the quest as quickly as possible before you get the chance to have fun

Questing can be and is fun, but personally I'd like there to be some group quest content that is more of a challenge and is actually done in a group and progresses a story arc. So not something like a standalone dungeon quest.

Great thing about ESO is everyone can play pretty much their own way.

Loll, never ask on an ESO forum if people do like voice acting or other stuff like that. Those who don't care won't show up to back you down and people who like it will spam the hell out

I think that would be the reverse case too if the subject was 'Does anyone actually think Trials are fun?'

craybest

I love questing, lots of effort went to create believable stories and characters with good voice acting. So I listen to them and learn about it too. I loooove questing!

Saera

I love my questing!! Id really hate it if they added in an xpan in any game that has no quests

abigfishy

I just had to do a ton of quests to get the house that I wanted to buy and I was impressed with the quality of both the writing and voice acting. Quests are great. It is a pity that they have made them utterly the worst way to level. Would anyone really mind if they DOUBLED the XP from doing one off quests?

I don't mean double XP event either as that just means more people are grinding Skywatch Catacombs or Alikir Dolmens. They should change the balance so questing is a viable way to progress.

Yes.

A lot of the dialogue on this game is well acted and written. Whether I listen to it all or not usually depends on my mood, but I don't think it's a fair criticism of the game.

I like the questing... I have done each alliance + Coldharbour at least twice or more. Just like any other form of entertainment (TV, movies, books, etc.), some of the stories are better than others. Some are absolute classics and some don't do it for me - you have to do them all to find the gems, though.

Linaleah

questing and dialog is THE primary reason I even enjoy this game. I love the stories, the little dramas and mysteries, I listen to all the dialogue and explore all the conversation options. lore is fun for me. the fact that ESO sotries continue to be engaging and interesting with each new storybased update? is what's keeping me playing. but then I do almost no group content outside of occasional duoing stuff with a friend, very rarely joining guild runs and joining world group stuff if I happen to be in the area and encounter is in progress or about to start.

solo story portions of the game for me are THE game.

waterfairy

This game suffers from too much dialogue. Everyone has too much to say, especially side quest givers and there's so many quest givers. I don't need to hear your life story just to fetch an item for you...it doesn't make the item fetch quest anything more then an item fetch quest just because they blah, blah, blah.

Another problem with dialogue is that this is an mmo. While waiting to hear what they say, another player will burn past you and kill the boss or trigger the quest fight.

I've really liked the DLC quests but most of the base game quests are garbage

Love questing. I need to start being pickier about who I do dungeons with because, at least first time through, I want to go slow and actually listen to what's happening and not just blaze through it and rush to completion. I played this game at beta, didn't love it that much, but ended up buying it anyway because I really wanted to finish the storylines!
