SKYRIM - worth it?

Only West map of Skyrim in this chapter? Why not full map? To me it's only a small area (outside) and few caverns, which looks like a small piece of game for a price of full game.
I don't count the issues, which made already nervous the whole community. This chapter is far below my expectations. Ok, this is just a personal feeling...
By the way ... Dolmens replaced by Ritual Sites in Skyrim? What's the point?

    TES5 on PC? YES! One of the best games bro!
    Praying the Daedric Gods will make Cyrodiil great again.

    They're selling other parts of Skyrim or at least some dungeons as extra DLC for year of Skyrim aren't they? Just wait some more until you can buy those.

    One night in and I had fun. Easily worth the price I paid for what I am going to get out of it.
    and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."

    And that is main reason I did not purchase it... Why to bother to buy a chapter for 31+ euro which only gives lets say 65% of the story and then need to invest more money for rest of it? Else was my last expansion for time being.
    Only quality can warrant such approach. Right now I dont see it so, I am waiting for some discounts etc as it is not worth of full price.

    Thank you. I just remembered I bought this at the same time as eso. Time to give it a try.

    Don't kid yourself, it's not "western skyrim". It's maybe a third of western skyrim. "Buuuut blackreach". Ya, we don't give a *** about blackreach. I doubt many will. Most people wanted to see a fully realized Tamriel at some point in this century. It is pretty pathetic that they cannot even fill in half of one province in one year.

    As for the dolmens/dragons/Ritual Sites, ya that's been the copy/paste map mechanic for awhile. It's not new, it's not creative, it's just the formula with a new skin.

    Gotta admit, it's ballsy to sell a fifth of Skyrim in ESO for nearly the retail price of Skyrim.

    I only managed to ride around and access the underground world and help kill a WB before maintenance #4 set in.

    Not that impressed yet. The overworld part is only a VERY small area.
    But then again, an upgrade key isn't all that expensive, a bit less than €20.

    Playing since dec 2019 | PC EU

    $39.99 is a lot to pay for a chapter that is having all of these issues. Only you know if it’s worth it for you.

    I’d say to complete all of the quests, dungeons, trials content you still have left before considering Greymoor. It’s the most underwhelming and worst received chapter currently.

    I suppose they will add more during this year like Northern/Southern Elsweyr I guess. This current update is mostly Blackreach, as far as I have understood. It's like people are never happy with anything these days. :smiley:

    I am confused about size after playing it.
    I thought underneath was 40% of the size of above.
    Above is postage stamp sized.
    Below is full of lost and dazed people hours later. It's huge.

    Quite a lot of bits seem to be quest locked. I'm in the southern hemisphere. The game is almost always offline -I've managed 3.5hrs in between whatever dodgy stuff/failure is going on. So no quests for me.

    Running around Blackreach was more enjoyable than I thought -great atmosphere- not just a damp cave.

    The scrying thing has frustrations, to put it mildly. After we figured it out it seems fun.

    I would get it simply to hang in the zone -the world building is that cool. *oh -there was massive zone screaming about quest bugs that seemed to be really bad and also the pvp problems of weapon swapping, skills not working and people crashing on big texture errors were common. People were warning others of texture trap zones even though it's pve and not Bruma...unless someone copied the map...hmm
