As a new player should I buy the expansions?

I bought the Imperial Edition back in 2014 when the game came out, but I quit like a month in and haven't really played since then. I'm only like level 14 I think.

The Place by Tony Walsh Please ReadThis is the place in the North West of England
It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing
From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking
Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and
So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands
We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands
And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton
And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten
And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome
And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it
And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth
But the Manchester way is to make it yourself
And make us a record, a new number one
And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!
And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league
And make us sing louder and make us believe it
that this is the place that has helped shape the world
And that this the place where a Manchester girl
Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side
Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride
And this is the place with appliance of science
We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance
In the face of a challenge we always stand tall
Mancunians in union delivered it all
Such as housing and libraries, and health, education
And unions and co-ops, the first railway station
So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!
But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!
And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls
And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul
And so this is the place to do business, then dance
Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance
And this is the place where we first played as kids
And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did
And this is the place where our folks came to work
Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt
And they built us a city. They built us these towns
And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound
Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves
They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves
And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe
The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive
And to work and to build, to connect and create and
Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great
And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own
Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home
And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat
All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets
Because this is a place that has been through some hard times
Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times
But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit
Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics
And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city
But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity
Because this a place where we stand strong together
With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever
And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)
Can get funding and something to help with their scheme
Because this is the place that understands your grand plans
We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!
Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere
You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer
You can live local, give local. We can honestly say
We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way
And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams
We support local dreamers to work for their dreams
We support local groups and the great work they do
So can you …help us help… local people like you?
Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes
Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones
‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact
That this is the place. We should give something back.
Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.1 -
keevil111✭✭✭✭It's not that they don't have anything of value, it's just as a new player there is a ton of stuff to do without ever buying the DLCs.
Most of the dungeons are available, crafting, questing, making new characters, farming. I mean do whatever but don't expect the newer content to make or break the game for you.
If you play for a while and start feeling like you want more to do, that's when I'd consider ESO+ or buying DLCs.
Good luck.

There is the answer, sub for the month play the base zones with your mate, if you like it and stay great, if you dont, you havent lost as much as buying all the DLC and expansions.Born, Bred & Made in Manchester UK, RIP 22 Angels. 22/05/2017

craftycarper73✭✭✭✭✭I would just play the base game to level up, play the zones there, if you really want a peek, then subscribe for 1 month, dont know where you are, but uk is £9.99 for 1 month.
The only thing you wont have access to is summerset, i think, so for a tenner you get a sneek peek.
Do the zones offer anything for a new player, at such a low level you will still be exploring and levelling, again something you can do in the base game.Born, Bred & Made in Manchester UK, RIP 22 Angels. 22/05/2017

Wife and I just did the same thing. Quit wow a few weeks ago and looking for another game to fill the void. We bought the base game and did the eso plus for a month to give it a good try. We did the marriage thing last night. With the eso plus giving us 1500 crowns, the pledge of mora was 1000 so we had enough. I would advise doing this if you and your pal will be grouping up the whole time. Also, only one of you need to buy the ring. We both bought one but only mine was changed to the xp ring and she got a new ring in her inventory with the Pledge of Mora still in her inventory as well. So we are just saving that for another set of characters down the road.

Kind of, but not really. The biggest issue is the goofy way the new content is introduced. A new character is forced to start in the new content, not the original story. IMO, the first character should start in the original content, then make their way to the Chapters.
As for skills, Thieves and Dark Brotherhood do have some skills that help the larcenous and murderers.
Everything else can be obtained from guilds and kiosks and other players (set items and motifs). Of course some dungeons are locked out, but those new ones should be done by experienced characters.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Oh yes they have great value, at least for me. I have ESO+ because I am a hoarder and also love getting all the DLCs as well and some crowns to boot.
What I do when I start a new game is head to the Gold Coast so I can start the Dark Brotherhood quest. Why? So I can get the Blade of Woe. It's an ability that if you sneak behind a human and for me hit B+Y (since I use a controller on PC or Xbox) that you assassinate them. For me, I pretend I am knocking them out since they come back anyways and I really don't want to be a killer but like the idea this gives me a great way to role play being more of a sneaky character who knocks people out instead of killing them.
Other than that, you get Morrowind with the DLC. You DON'T get the Warden class though, that needs to be bought separately.
If you go that way just remember when you get to your factions starting city, speak to the "Hooded" character so you can start the Main Quest at a later time if you so choose.Not my quote but I love this saying
