- Did you find it easy to get the Main Story quests?
- Which Main Story quests did you play?
- Did you engage with any quests outside of the main story? If so, which ones?
- Did you find any quests to be problematic from either a directional or difficulty standpoint?
- World Bosses
- Did you fight any world bosses? If so, which ones?
- Were any of them too easy or too hard?
- Were mechanics clearly communicated?
- Public Dungeons
- Did you go into any public dungeons? (Labyrinthian or Nchuthnkarst)
- Public dungeons are generally balanced for two or more players of average skill and gear. Did you feel sufficiently challenged?
- Zone
- What did you think of the Western Skyrim environment?
- What did you think of the Blackreach environment?
- Did you enter Blackreach on your own or as part of a Quest?
- Did you have any issues navigating between Blackreach and Western Skyrim?
- Did you encounter any new monsters you haven't seen before? What did you think of them?
- Harrowstorms
- Did you see any Harrowstorms? If so, what did you think of their general look and feel?

I am not into anything story-related yet (the zone is beautiful), but I have some general wish.ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »

I have noticed that the larger mobs In Western Skyrim such as Vampire Scions and such are not affected by the interrupt from Crushing Shock in the Destruction Staff Skill Line.ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »Did you encounter any new monsters you haven't seen before? What did you think of them?[/list]
I went on the PTS mainly to check out the landscape and the housing (I'm a Housing addict). I found the zone very familiar after years of playing TESV and camping out in the wild with the Frostfall/Camping mods. Even without the presence of the Thalmor it was very recognizable and I found myself looking for landmarks from TESV. I really loved exploring the zone.ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »This is the official feedback thread for Western Skyrim, mainly focusing on the zone, side quests, and other types of content found in the area.

Has anyone managed to find a Psijic Portal instead of a rune in the Western Skyrim? Are they spawning? Is it a bug that they are not spawning?
Thanks! After two hours riding across the zone I have finally found one (just a minute ago).
Yes!Did you play through the new tutorial?
I liked it well enough - but I took him to 0 health with light attacks, he didn't move & didn't die. I moved a 1/4" closer & then the tutorial started - with him at 0 health the entire time. Maybe the tutorial fight should start as soon as I get close enough OR attack?What did you think about the combat tutorial (Vitrus the Bloody)?

You still seem biased towards stam. All kinds of swords and axes, etc. I found an inferno staff. How about a lightning staff also? I would have liked some more armor pieces, but it's fine. However, Fennorian kept standing so close it was nearly impossible to pick anything up. The cursor just kept highlighting him instead of the item. Back up, dude!!!Did you find sufficient items to loot in Deepwood Vale? Were they noticeable enough?
Nope. Didn't see it at all. Ol' Fenny kept a brisk pace.Did you encounter the optional lockpicking tutorial? Did you feel rewarded for completing it?
Super easy. But I've been playing a long time. And it's a tutorial, it should be easy.What did you think about the tutorial boss fight (Matron Urgala)? How was the difficulty?
Yeah I would agree with that. The radius for POIs in Blackreach showing up on the compass is far too wide - it may be standard compared to an overworld zone, but I think it needs to be significantly reduced while in Blackreach. I would suggest, for example, only marking on the locations that are in the same cavern as you, and not any that are in the next cavern over.SidraWillowsky wrote: »The main reason I'm commenting is that the location icons at the top of my screen (in console/gamepad UI) show up way, waaaaay too soon. The Nchuthnkarst icon showed up when I was in an entirely different area and was much further away than the icon would normally indicate. I'd recommend dialing that back so that it shows up when you get closer. I noticed that in general.
