At level 8 after 9 days, I think you'll have fun for quite a while at that pace (that kind of sounds like a jab, but it's not).

P.S. Not everyone hates vet content. Although I guess around here that's the equivalent of liking peanut butter on pickles.

Its a great single-player game. Enjoy it.

Dear TESO,

Just another quick note to tell you I'm still not regretting my purchase of your game, or the Imperial upgrade and Explorer's Pack. Last night saw me finally complete all the achievements on Khenarthi's Roost and so now I'm on my way to Auridon.

I'm honestly amazed by the amount and quality of the content and writing which has been integrated into this game. I love how some NPCs are just there to talk to, interact with, or listen to - adding a level of depth that's missing from other games. The three mercenaries in Mistral, for example. The Dominion representatives spreading their propaganda to the residents of Khenarthi's Roost. Nervous lovers and sneaky skooma dealers. The list goes on and on. There's a wealth of immersive material here that would go unnoticed if I just rushed through the game to get to the next level.

The best thing is that many of these conversations have nothing to do with me, the player. In fact, I love how the world isn't about ME. It's about them, because this is their home. And when I finally do save Khenarthi's Roost, and some of the NPCs start talking about me, it seems more immersive, more natural - and more of an accomplishment.

I can tell that someone put a lot of work into all of this content. I just thought you ought to know it's appreciated!

Me.

P.S. My dual-wielding Nightblade is still holding her own. In fact, I opened the skills menu before logging off last night and noticed I had 3 skill points I still hadn't committed yet, so at Level 8, I'm not underpowered. Of course, towards the end, my enemies were several levels beneath me ...

What a well written piece of propaganda. The post script at the end was an especially nice touch.

This would not be so shiver inducing had it been written here within the first few weeks of launch.

The game is beautiful from levels 1 through 50. If you are enjoying Khenarthi's Roost, the rest will floor you.

Did I read correctly that you are level 8 after 9 days? If so, you will probably enjoy the game for some time to come.

The first fifty levels are wonderful - Content flows well with a minimal amount of grinding ,and if you seek out all the quests... you will find yourself outleveling things somewhat quickly. Within the first half hour of my first character (Also a nightblade) I figured out how to one shot virtually any non boss NPC as an opener (Bow + Ambush from sneak)

The question is one of scaling, with full purple+ gear at VR5+ or so, mudcrabs can 2-3 shot you if you are anything but a tank.

Mudcrabs.


Enjoy the ride, take it slow, and don't rush through leveling, they may have it fixed by the time you are leveled enough to see what everyone is complaining about. :P

You know, I started to make this mega long list of everything bad and why people are quitting in their droves.

Then I realised like a lot of those fanboys who caused the devs to ignore everything that was said in beta and why the game is in the state it is, its pointless.

As long as you are happy, that's all that matters, as it's your money after all!

ESO is pretty awesome at low levels, by all means. The whole 1-50 adventure is pretty satisfying regardless of class / build, more or less.

And then... "VR content" hits you in the face like a meteor. Especially if you happen NOT to be a "Harry Potter". But who knows, maybe (and hopefully) things will be different by the time you get there.

It seems like an eternity ago when I was level 8, running away from packs of enraged skeevers..... er wait, I'm level vr6 now and still fleeing in terror from packs or 3 or more skeevers. lol, well as they say, "what goes around, comes around." Just enjoy the ride while it lasts.

I love how all of these "You guys are all stupid, this game is perfect" threads are started by people under level 20. I'm not trying to be "that guy", but at such a low level, I hardly think you've played enough of the game to make such a claim. This applies to ALL games, not just ESO.

@IrishGirlGamer more power to ya you. I actually really liked Khenarthi's Roost as well (many didn't).

It's my favorite of the starting islands. I liked it way more than either Stros M'Kai and Betnikh (Daggerfall starting zones) or Bleakrock Isle and Bal Foyen (Ebonheart starting zones).

Day 9 and I Haven't Rage-Quit Yet! What's Wrong with Me?

That's like saying "They have been married for 9 days, and people said the marriage would not last"

Wait until the honeymoon is over.

Good to see you're enjoying the game. Sorry to see some people apparently can't stand to see that and have to bring in comments about how you'll hate it later.

People seem to forget that different people have different tastes. Just because they dislike something doesn't mean everyone else will, or that everyone else should. People generalizing your post as saying the game is perfect, simply because you're expressing that you're having fun where you are is really just as bad as folks telling others to quit because they disliked one aspect of the game.

It's a game, and what's important at the end of the day is that you're having fun. That holds true whether you're a new player, old player, quick content consumer, or someone that likes to take their time. Folks shouldn't be trying to drag others down just because their experience was different.

I love how people equate "I'm enjoying this game" threads with "You guys are all stupid, this game is perfect" threads. The 2 are not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination, and confusing them is, frankly, stupid.

Obviously i wasn't just talking about this thread. There have been others claiming just that. However, the title of this thread comes off as a sarcastic statement aimed towards people who complain about not liking the game. If you couldn't pick up on that, then i don't think you should be calling anyone stupid.
