On my main (A High Elf Sorcerer) I have now completed all of the main quests, all the dungeon quests, and every side quest.
The only quests I have not completed are 8 Trial quests, which I have now grabbed, the vampire and werewolf quests, and a quest apparently associated with the year one celebration that I will have to wait for the next event to try to pick up entitled "A Quest of Sand, Snow, and Blood"

    I was expecting an opinion from all that experience...

    Too many games are full of quests like "kill 5 of that and come back to me" without much substance.
    I didn't notice it in ESO, which in my experience has pretty robust quests compared to others, but I admittedly haven't played all quests, I'm missing tons of them still.

    What's your opinion?

    sadly "A Quest of Sand, Snow, and Blood" will likely never return as the Year One Celebration seems to now be the Guilds and Glory Celebration

    Questing is my all-time favorite activity in ESO. It's part of the thing that keeps me lost in Tamriel.

    I got introduced to The Elder Scrolls series with Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind. By the time Oblivion had been out for 2 or 3 years I pretty much stopped playing any other game that wasn't an Elder Scrolls game.

    Initially when Elder Scrolls Online came out I refused to play it because "my Elder Scrolls games are single player games." But in 2017,after 6 years of playing almost nothing but Skyrim, I wanted something new but was not ready to leave Tamriel, so I tried ESO.

    The only complaint I have about questing in ESO is that I wish there was an option to turn up the difficulty.

    When Gold Road comes out, the first thing I am going to do is run from the northern coast of Eastmarch to the eastern coast of Glennumbra and try to go through as many zones as possible without having to backtrack through the same zone.

    Equip bad gear (especially weapons) and fights will take longer.

    Probably not a good solution for an RPG player.

    Fantastic! I plan to do the same! From Daggefall to Windhelm or viceversa, but taking the long route through Malabar Tor and Grathwood, not cutting with just Reaper's March.

    Someone posted a 2 hours video like this on YouTube, I suspect a Dev since enemies never attack him even if he stands besides them.

    About the joy of questing and the low difficulty, I would suggest an unarmed build with a couple pieces of armour missing.
    I have a build like this dedicated to questing, where I role play as a monk of the order of the pants free. Funny thing is the character became a member after a drunk night where she got her pants stolen, not on purpose but she became a member of honor. Now traveling the world in search of her missing pants, thirsty to take vengeance on the thief.

    One thing that has helped that is actually role-playing. At this point, my character has engaged in combat with multiple daedric princes and the idea of common grunts being a challenge stares in the face of reason.

    So, when I want a better challenge, I just do content other than overland like go and solo a dungeon. One of these days, I'm going to try to solo a trial.

    i think the only trial that might be feasible to solo is asylum+0, as it has few mechanics, virtually 0 adds

    many of the other trials are not possible to solo due to mechanics (like HOF you will get stopped at the 2nd boss, the factotum one, because it requires 4 players to trigger the switches to prevent the wipe mechanic, for example)

    I've cleared one of the 2 secondary bosses of Asylum Sanctorium solo but it was late and I had to stop there. It takes too much time really, but I think you can do it! Go for it! (When you'll have plenty of time)

    Right now I'm farming quests for the 10 years achievement, maybe I'll try after I'll be done with Gold Road, if my build doesn't get nerfed.

    I had all of the quests done a few years ago on a certain character and each time a new thing comes out, I do those on that same particular character. However, one day, I learned about a quest that I did not know about.
    There's a bizarre 'secret' quest in Stonefalls. Just up the hill a little from the entrance to Soft Loam Cavern delve there's a merchant by a campfire. He sells a religious fetish statue that you use to start a quest.

    It's a small quest, but a strange one.

    I think I remember that one, and yes it is weird.

    @Tornaad Quick update: I wouldn't be so sure about soloing it anymore...

    I soloed every WB, even Dragons and Harrowstorms, and Inkslayer too... But I got OH SO humbled by Asylum Sanctorium 😂 demolished.

    Saint Llothis was manageable without too many troubles.
    Saint Felms on the other hand... Man if it's hard to solo! I get obliterated before I can take him to 50%.

    I think I reached my limits and I have to give up. But it's fine - It's a 12 men Trial, I totally don't pretend it to be within my reach.

    Now I'm curious about Gold Road! Can't wait to try World Bosses and Mirrormoor Incursions there :)

    Please, let me know how it goes for you if you try! And good luck!

    That's what people do in other RPGs that don't have difficulty settings– challenge runs.

    I thought the same, until I found there is this super hidden side quest where there is no way players can find it by just playing and even if they bump into "it" by luck, there are still further steps to do that no way players can know they have to do, to even just start that hidden quest.

    Again, for years I thought the same, until I found out about that quest (super hidden, to this day not even in any addons).

    I thought to myself: "Dang! There was no way I could have known about this".

    By the way, won't provide any info nor mention what quest it is to avoid spoilers.

    I used an add on to find the quests.

    As I mentioned above, to this day that quest is not on any addons.

    I used addons too, and I so missed the quest, as no addon has it. Probably creators of those addons don't know about it either.

    ZOS did a great job double hidding that side quest.
