I'm not buying it. Might buy the new class when I can buy it from the crown store. I feel like I got morrowind and I want a chapter that shows me someplace else on the map... also land of the dead mythos doesn't appeal to me.



Who has other reasons to skip it?

    I'll get it eventually - but sorry, the "prepurchase" stuff is of no interest at all to me.

    Honestly, I have zero interest in EP.. I don't like the races, I don't like the quests, I don't like the zones. I've paid to change all my EP characters to the other factions/races.

    I haven't made up my mind yet. I like Morrowind and Dark Elf lore, so that's appealing, but I dislike Hermaeus Mora and Apocrypha stuff, so that's not appealing.

    At this point, I feel like I might buy it when it goes on sale later in the year.

    I wasn't really enthused by the reveal and my time on the pts cemented my feelings about it. I was looking for an expansion that would draw me back in, give me something to care about, but Necrom just seems more of the same.

    Might get it at some point but Necrom is the first expansion I've not pre-ordered in years.

    No. The 3 new crafting tables are only available if you buy the new chapter. :)

    I personally decided against it for the moment.

    I'm not a huge fan of Mora or the visuals attached to him.

    I didn't really like the Arcanist visuals or combat experiance. Playing it was one of the few times I got eye strain from playing content alone in third person.

    The "Telvanni Peninsula" was the part that appealed to me most in the update and has some cool visuals but, it's also a bit small especially on a mount with speed upgrades and it isn't exactly the Telvanni Peninsula.

    The new item set/mythic additions didn't really seem like they brought that many fun possibilities.

    I didn't enjoy the process of getting into the Bastion Nymic or doing the Bastion Nymic.

    The majority of the world bosses were for me in the category of either not being fun to fight or not being fun to fight more than a few times.

    I don't really like the balance direction the game is taking.

    I didn't like the
    sexual assault related
    quest line. It has been changed a fair bit since so I might reconsider buying in the future but, it honestly feels rather creepy to have back to back updates with a noticeable portion of the quest content being about
    non-consensual sex
    . The Elder Scrolls series has always had that type of content but, it's frequently made up a smaller % of the content or been a bit more subtle.

    With all that said, if you actually like the content it's probably actually a good deal from the amount of stuff in the chapter.

    I didn't pre-purchase and am not sure I will purchase. I'm happy about a new area and I hope for some treasure hunts, but I have no big interest in the necrom, also not in the new set, so in the end, am afraid to receive something that will have very little content for me, so not worth the money. It's therefore a wait and see in my case.
    I'm out of my mind, feel free to leave a message... PC/NA

    Ahhh. Ok. Those will not be available till Q4 I believe.
    I have bought new chapter to get new tables for our guild hall as to have all of them. :)

    I did end up buying it but not for Arcanist, or the card game or group world events, that’s for sure.

    Hermaeus Mora is my favorite Daedric Prince and so being able to go to his realm was big. I also didn’t buy High Isle last year so it was like getting two chapters for one.

    Did your High Isles unlock straight away? I redeemed Necrom code and High Isles is still locked for me.

    Yeah it did. I’ve already started questing. That’s weird, I know Necrom has different editions maybe one doesn’t have High Isle?

    Update has only the new chapter, collection includes base game and all previous chapters. If one has missed few years it can make sense to get the collection for existing account.

    Yeh I chose 'upgrade' because I didn't need another account, never had to consider it because I've bought every chapter thus far except High Isles.

    Not going to buy it, don't see a point until they add some engaging, fun and challenging overland content in an expansion.

    I won't buy it for now, but may be getting it eventually.

    - I have absolutely no interest in Hermaeus Mora or Apocrypha.

    - There's too little Morrowind/Telvanni content in it and too much Apocrypha.

    - The Arcanist class doesn't appeal me to me at all, I hate the visuals and loathe the gameplay.

    - I'm not interested in any of the new companions. Considering how long we have to wait for the next companions to arrive, this is major disappointment for me.

    - I'm not interested in the Bastion Nymic world event

    On the positive side... the writing isn't as bad as High Isle and it has Naryu and Ashur.

      I'll buy it for the quests... eventually. I am in no rush.

      I am not a Daedra worshipper so Arcanist is a no for me. Were it a less specific theme for a class, or a new global skill line, I'd probably already have it pre-ordered.

      I don't want to give this company any more money until they deal with the stolen art they're still profiting off of. It needs to be removed from the store (so they stop profiting from theft) until they finish a deal with the artist they stole it from!

      I pre-purchased it a few days ago. I actually enjoyed the Arcanist on the PTS, especially after the first bdlance patch. I didn't explore the rest of Necrom though.
