What do you like the most about eso?

francesinhalover

Personaly i like that there's lots of (voiced) quests, and a bit of stealth gameplay on them.
Some of the quests are really funny like the monkey on alik'r , the guy from rivenspire that hates shoes because wearing shoes isn't manly, the skeleton and the dog from alik'r, stibbons and lady laurent, that guy you want to recruit for an army and need to help him with love.
I also enjoy somewhat the setting, because it gives me lord of the rings vibes, and some of the world bosses are amazing.
Delves are alright for me, some are awesome

however there's some things i do wish existed in the game like lower face masks, bandanas...

Happy holidays.

The reason I love this game is because there is just so much stuff to do. I like to farm for mats to craft furniture or sell the materials, I like to fish in Summerset to get those bottles with motifs in them, I like to do the achievements, find all the recipes and thieving. I'm mostly a solo player so I also like doing the delves and public dungeons also the dailies..so many dailies.

The size of the game. PVE and PVP Play. Customizing toons. Different levels of delves/dungeons. Quests. Events.

And best of all, the people from all over the world.

There are many unique things about eso that can't be found in other games especially on console. The number of ways you can play, it's more customizable than most console games, but now classes seem to be too similar and with gear being changed to accommodate both spell and weapon instead of one or the other opens the door for more interesting builds, but I see too many making the same cookie cutter builds still.
The fact you can play solo or group content is nice. Granted I started playing mmo's when solo play wasn't accepted, so wanting everything to be accessible to solo players is frustrating.
I like you can chose what you'd like to do on any given day: farm for mats, dungeons w/friends or through group finder, trials, pvp, you can make gear/furniture and sell it...lots to do depending on your mood and the state of the game for that given day.
I loved Skyrim and that eso has a number of things that take you back to Skyrim but eso is also it's own game with it's own identity.
Are there issues yes, but I as a console player it's the best we've got for now.

PvP content and the choices you can make in-game. Very few games I know let you play a vampire/werewolf, do crime, and give stealth options to all players.

My favorite thing about ESO is the character customization and motif system, hands down. There's so much available that allows you to create a character that doesn't look like anyone else walking around in the world, from a unique face to a totally new outfit composed of different motif parts. I've been playing for at least 3 years now and I haven't stopped going "wow" when I see someone who has come up with a new and unique combination of motifs. (I only wish that they would make outfit slots account wide and increase the amount of slots I'm allowed to have...I have certain characters that I absolutely love making outfits for and don't want to overwrite old outfits! Pretty sure you could give me 50 outfit slots and it wouldn't be enough to satisfy my outfit addiction XD )

The housing system is right up there along side character customization and the outfit system when it comes to my favorite things, because its an extension of who my characters are in the world. Its an opportunity to express their style, their interests, and their hobbies outside of battle. I love showing all the little things that go "unspoken" about a characters personality through the way they leave a book on the table, or what makes them comfortable. I really like building scenes that look like a character has just gotten up in the middle of something.

I also love the completely voiced quest dialogue, along with many of the NPC's in the world.

Then there's Fennorian, whom I adore. By far my favorite NPC in the entire game. Oddly enough, one of my other favorite characters from Final Fantasy- Prompto Argentum, was also voiced by the same actor. I had been following his work for years and only later discovered that he had voiced Fenn during the Twitch interview with him. The odd little coincidence and connection between my favorite games only made me love Fenn all the more.

Overall, its the immense creative freedom ESO has to offer that really makes me love the game and will keep me playing for many years to come.

Graphic style and the stories they picked good voice actors for.

SeaGtGruff

I love that we can wander around almost all of Tamriel, and that there is such variety between the zones.

I love that there is so much to do in the game that we can "live" in it day after day, either doing different things each day, or establishing a regular routine of "work" to earn gold and other currencies, followed by "playtime" for entertainment.

I've never been deeply into TES lore like a lot of players, but I've been trying to get better about reading the in-game books and letters, especially the quest-related ones, and I'm definitely becoming more appreciative of the lore in general, and all of the thought that's gone into designing each zone's storyline.

Dojohoda

It's Elder Scrolls, I like the lore, the sounds, the appearance.

fiender66

The list is not so short:

Graphics
Acting
Animations
Chars' appearance
A huge world ever expanding
Many things to do (or not to do, ones' choice)
In my experience, a rather good players' population
The combat system
Reliable implementation (do not be surprised. I've played many MMOs for years, and only some top AAA ones, like FFXIV, are on a par IMO).

TheImperfect

All the above honestly. I love pretty much everything about ESO.

Bradyfjord

I appreciate the crafting system. It's important without taking over the game.

I appreciate the skills/morphs that allow us to create effective and flexible characters.

Artim_X

ESO has it all! However, the world of the Elder Scrolls and its rich lore will always be what hooks me in.

ssewallb14_ESO

The ES setting and the open-endedness of the build and combat system.

Tenthirty2

The variety of stuff to do is the biggest thing for me!
I've been enjoying ESO for 2+ years and there is always a new adventure\quest, dungeons & arenas to try, some new shiny bit to chase up, or just pick a direction and wander Actually just wandering across a zone is possibly the funnest thing.

Blinx

I love that I can literally go anywhere I please, unlike my previous MMO which forced me to complete dungeons so I could continue exploring the zone, which after a while just got on my nerves, so I packed my bags and left my white mage behind and settled here on Tamriel

oldbobdude

Changes all the time. When I started loved the quests (story, voice acting etc). Then I went through a dolmen/public dungeon zone clearing stage. Now my favorite is 4 man dungeons for randoms, pledges and gear farming. Who knows what it will be next month. So many things to do.

I came from Guildwars 2 and before that other MMOS. The main draw card for me here is the exploring. See in Guildwars 2 you couldn't really enter and explore buildings. There were very few interior places at all really, mainly only dungeons. So the exploring here of all the small towns and the buildings in them is awesome for me.

Then you add to that the loot/steal system. It expands the exploring more, sure you get pretty much the same things from those containers (depending if you are free looting or stealing), but it still adds a little more to that exploring/looting system. This was VERY lacking in Guildwars 2. The looting system in general is just better here. You could be a master thief and steal from houses/people for rare furnishings or you could run around maps/delves all day looting chests to collect all the different paintings. You can do daily quests to hunt the rare furnishing plans as well as container looting again for them. So many different options.

The next main thing for me is the Housing system. I currently own 59 houses (thanks to getting my Doomchar house last night ) and plan on furnishing them all with specific themes or what not.

There's other things too like the minigames:

Antiquities - of course I would love this because it adds to the furnishing/housing system.
Lockpicking - lets not overlook this, it is a minigame! Unless you force pick it every time like I usually do on my main lol....

That's about it for minigames off the top of my head. No fishing is not one, I wish it was but it's not. It's just click, wait for rod to move and click again. Ignore the vibrating when fishing as that will only make you miss the catch!

There is more to the game that I like obviously, but I am sure others will touch on those.

There are a lot of things I like about ESO - farming, crafting, housing, questing, PvP.

The biggest thing I like about it lately is if I’m having a bad day, I can log in and play and just forget about the real world for a while. Then when I’m done maybe it’s not so bad after that.

WiseSky

its addon friendly mmo

MentalxHammer

Grinding gear and levels is manageable in ESO, the real grind is skill. That’s why ESO is the best MMO.

xgoku1

IMO the best part is that it adds new lore to the TES universe year-on-year, without ESO you'd have to wait for many, many years to get your fix. The quality may be (arguably) sus but the content added in is a fact.

not_without_coffee

So many different things to do, love the mixture of all.
No aspect is overweighing, you can do whatever you want.

Love the graphics and the landscapes and some of the delves and dungeons are really really awesome.
I love exploring everything and stealth and stealing and all that. There are so many beautiful and interesting spots and views out there.

Doing raids, dungeons, world bosses. Flexibility of character skills and gear, your choice.
So many story quests, funny quests or tragic ones. Great voice acting. Learning about the people and background story of the world. Housing is great and flexible and furniture crafting really fun.
Pvp not my thing but I love stealthing through imperial city.
Antiquities, even more incentive for exploring. Endeavours.
Rather fair payment system, no rng in character skills or crafting,
Loot-boxes and ingame shop not too obtrusive.

endgamesmug

Zonechat, more specifically Craglorn zonechat love it and everyone. Guilds are mostly atrocious in my experience

TheS1X

With few reshades and better Global Illumination this game looks gorgeous compared with other mmos.
Funny is that if you add Global Illumination and Marty McFlys Raytracing to ESO, it does not get much of FPS hit while other games do, it was not the case a year ago, not sure what Zenimax did or added but it allows them to actually add raytracing to this game if they want.

SSX_Gryphon

Too many things to mention, but if I start with what I miss in other MMO's that might help.

Combat - It's the right blend of slotted skills and rotation, but with action. I'm not just stood there popping skills, I have to move, I have to dodge. There's great fight mechanics that make use of the arena/terrain/environment. I like that. I miss that in other games.

Skills - Great depth of customisation, not overly complex but not too shallow either. There's plenty of skills,w ith enough similar/duplicate skills that work with different sets of passives. I'm not boxed in to a set of specific skills. I can be creative with my builds. I can make a DPS monster with whatever's meta, but i can also make unoptimised builds that have wacky mechanics, are just a bit silly and are fun to play whilst still being able to play through content. I'm, not punished for being creative - even on unoptimised builds. If I want Grothdar, Venom and Darkness on a character for fiery poison murdercrows, even if the DPS is lower than a meta, I can still smash content whilst popping silly AOE :P

Questing- I love that it's voiced. Wall of text in other games tends to mean that I'll skip through it and I don't really enjoy as much, voice acting helps a lot, keeps me engaged and adds depth. I love the Augur of the Obscure! I like that even though mechanically speaking there's only a set number of ways to interact, kill, carry, trade, use, move to, dialogue responses and condtional checks - I like that in spite of this there's a lot of creative and fun quests out there.

Social - I wipe with my guildies, I win with my guidlies, I body throw with my guildies, I dance with my guildies. The community is far less toxic than I've experienced elsewhere. I have a lovely guild with plenty of content to wipe on with them :P

Environment - it's still pretty. Blackreach is one of my favourite areas.

I've recently returned to ESO around a month or two ago. Prior to that I was in the Betas and stuck around for a while after launch. I've dipped in and out for the odd fews every now and again over the years and from where it was at launch to now, it's developed very well.

It's a huge boon for me at the moment. I work for a medical regulator. I'm stuck working from home, my country has restrictions. It's very isolating and in my job role, we're not winning at the moment. Things are hard.

Being able to log in to ESO, do things I can win at with people I enjoy being around has done wonders for my sanity.

Kudos ^^

The gear cap staying the same, not having to regrind your sets from scratch every expansion.
