What is your favorite memory from exploring Murkmire?

ZOS_Adrikoth

Since the Celebration has begun, we’re interested in hearing some of your most memorable experiences in Murkmire! This could be anything from running Blackrose Prison with some friends to your favorite moment from a quest.

Ooookay ... well, Murkmire may be wet and marshy and full of gnats, but I still know how to spend some quality time there.
So far, my favorite moment in Murkmire was when I caught my first Scuttlebloom!

Odovacar

If I had to dig deep, I'd say the music, and BRP farm. Zone was smaller and not necessarily my cup of tea lore wise...this is just me though.

Hellmasker

I love the ambience there, especially at night... and the music. But then again, I'm also a fan of our Argonian friends

The part in the main quest where you pretty much go on some sort of ayahuasca trip. It was very weird and well done, also had it's own animations and visuals, which was something the zone did pretty well. It all felt rather polished


The story was also refreshing in that it was about saving a hist tree and only a region. I was getting fed up with all the "be the chosen one that needs to save the entire universe" scenario's.

It's what i like about orsinium, dark brotherhood, theives guild, clockwork city, etc. It's more believable, local and less doom driven.

Finishing VBRP for the first time

Sergykid

the memento that acts like the Dragonhold grappling hook. This "memorable experience" was gained at its release tho, not now at this event.

Jolipinator

The moment I accepted it as a daily reward.

FierceSam

Finding the grappling vine thing in the Teeth of Sithis delve and figuring out how to use it.

This event is really killing any love I might have for the place though.

snoozy

going hunting with my bosmer because she is so good at sneaking.

... oh wait...

My favorite moment was to realize there was no wayshrine on the other side of the cliff that cuts the zone in half. Only in the corners. It really makes the zone feel alot bigger and it not annoying or inconvenient at all.
I also like the dailies are mostly far away from wayshrines too. So if you want them to do them on more characters it really feels big if you dont have the horse speed.
Doing the main-quest over and over again for all of them is allso nice. Gives you the chance for anything you might have missed in your ninth run.

That aside the story(side stories too) is actually good. Just.. dont tie the dailies into it and please 1 in the middle of the northern part would be great.

StormeReigns

Choixth. Loved her in summerset. And always enjoyed encouraging her and the random Altmer blaming her for ever growing crimes.

Love seeing her (again) in Murkmire just walking about.


Also... is that a boat... in a tree? (Loved the Hitchhiker's Guide plug on why it is in the tree.)

The moment I got out of that bug infested swamp. I only played through it late last year but the staggering amount of unfixed problems kind of ruined the whole thing for me.

furiouslog

I remember the time I ran around for four hours spamming wall and shards at overland mobs trying to get a second strongbox and failed to do so. I also remember my buddy rage quitting the farming party because he had farmed for 6 hours on Day 1 and did not even get his first box with the tickets. Those are my fond memories of this event so far.

Asardes

Choixth part 2

That time on the first day of the event everyone in zone chat was complaining about how they were not getting any drops and didn't see any event tickets. And I had to tell them that the strongbox was only guaranteed on the first drop. So half the people waiting on the WB spawn just noped out. Best time ever.

The moment that most jumps out is the escape from the Ixtaxh xanmeer. It had a real Indiana Jones feel, running for your life while the ruins collapse around you, trying to snatch up as many relics as you can along the way. I brought my most Indiana Jonesingest character to that adventure, and I wasn't disappointed.

Nice choice @opaj

Waynerx8

None

Probably getting it for free last year xd

The end of the main quest. Coming from a very dark place to find so much hope for a bright future.

Contrasts sharply with the way ESO quests usually end - "Well done, you killed the boss. Bye".

huntgod_ESO

This little cave home, need something like this as a small or medium house...

Sephyr

Not farming it because the RNG after the first box is so abysmal that I've more chances at getting a life.

Aptonoth

When I grinded 4 boxes over a 6 hour period and got no fragment pieces and when half of the world bosses didn't even drop their regular stuff. Fantastic can't wait to stop spending money on ESO at this rate.

Orjix

killing argonians, always a good time

MajThorax

When I realised world bosses are only for dds.

TheRealCherokeee3

Having the Bright Throat set introduced...that's about it.

Cavedog

Leaving.
