Thankfully I stopped the stupid long DL in time before any files were deleted. I bought the base game from ZOS for $20 and got right in using ESO64.EXE. $20 is worth never having to deal with Steam issues ever again.

Hey Jameliel. I uninstalled then just reinstalled. If you haven’t pay Bethesda for the base game and never launch Steam’s launcher again. It’s what I did.
I logged out to watch a movie a couple days ago and came back to this crap. Uninstalled and let it reinstall while I slept. Went to work came back and Steam had an hours worth of updating. I was so pissed. Didn’t even play once I could. Logged in, got the daily, logged out.
ZOS is deathly silent throughout this issue. They don’t seem to realize that crap like this makes people not want to play their game AT ALL.

Since I've had an issue like this happen before with other games. I saved it for future reference and I will kjust copy and past that text here. Since it could be solution and might be whats causing the issue.
Close all Steam and ESO programs and make sure it's closed via Task Manager. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to your steamapps folders. By default it's Program Files x86 --> Steam --> steamapps. In that folder you will find several files named appmanifest_xxxx with the xxxx being numbers. You will see a file numbered 306130. Copy that file to your desktop for backup purposes.
Open 306130 found in your steamapps folder using wordpad or whichever file editor you have (wordpad lists it line by line as compared to notepad) and in your first few lines you will see:
"AppState"
{
"appid" "306130"
"Universe" "1"
"name" "The Elder Scrolls Online"
"StateFlags" "4"
It is StateFlags you are looking for and StateFlags as above should show "4". If it shows "36", change it to 4, save it and startup Steam again. If it shows "128" and changing it to 4 fails then you have a corruption somewhere and need to reinstall the game unfortunately. Any number other than 4 tells Steam the game files are not all or correctly downloaded even if you know they are.
If that all fails you may have a corruption in your Steam program files and possibly need to uninstall and then reinstall the Steam client. If you have to do that make sure you first go to x86-->Steam and copy the steamapp folder and userdata folder (you should do this as a backup anyway) so that you can simply copy them back when the Steam client finishes reinstalling. Otherwise you have to download all of your Steam games again.
