Cadwell's Silver and Gold, Do You Like It?

The poll options are slightly limited. Why is there no answer somewhere between "great" and "makes no sense"?

Zed · November 2014

I do enjoy seeing the world and experiencing the quests and stories for the other alliances but it can be tedious at times. But overall, I'm having a good time with most of the pve content.

PSLAnimal · November 2014

Meh.

Breg_Magol · November 2014

Meh +1

Yusuf · November 2014

This poll is way too limited. I like "my" Cadwell's Gold ut hate the Silver-.- I'd rather skip EP-zones and go questing in DC right away.

Not just that, the LIKE in caps, is a bit insulting. Oh well.

I like being able to do everything on one character. Implementation could have been better.

Once you get over the cheap storyline mechanic, it's nice to be able to play the remaining content with (somewhat) higher difficulty. At VR levels, I think the game feels more "Elder Scrolls-ish," because you have more options for just wandering and exploring without needing to stick to the roller coaster of regular level progression.

I think it was a smart way for them to add more game play to the game with a minimal investment in production, but it would be nice if there was additional unique content once Molag Baal is defeated.

What he said.

I wanted to see the other alliance areas on one character, but not really thrilled that ZOS took the cheap way out on the quest side instead of adding unique content. I am not looking forward to repeating those quests when I roll an AD or EP alt.

Blud · November 2014

I would prefer to have rolled alts in the other factions to get those stories from that faction's point of view.

However, I'm glad I got to see all the zones with one character. I just don't much like the Cadwell's mechanic, and I dislike the immersion breaking aspect of betraying my own chosen faction.

Kreetar · November 2014

I don't mind it at all. Many, many moons ago after I first "defeated" Mr. Bal, I found that Cadwell's Gold was a pleasant surprise.

WraithAzraiel · November 2014

Not in it's present FUBAR'd state not particularly

Loneshard · November 2014

Yes! I think it's great! I LIKE doing the other faction's quests!

Exactly. Plus now it's highly unlikely that I'll roll a character in the other factions.

DarthFett · November 2014

If I had known that Cadwell's Silver and Gold were going to happen then I probably wouldn't have leveled any alts through the other zones.
As it is, I wish there was another way to quest so I wouldn't have to do all the same quests again.

I haven't rolled toons for the other factions, which I originally thought I would do. But because I'll have already played all that content on my main I feel no incentive to. If "end game content" is going to consist, even in part, of doing quests then they need to get their writers to work and start developing NEW quests that DON'T make you go on to betray your own faction in some strange alternate universe that is supposed to do...what? Make your character grow as a person? LOL

Father · November 2014

I think I partialy like it, as from my personal experience the best story and lore friendly was in AD, the main story in DC and EP feels weak.
Sometimes I fail to undetstand whats going on and who's against who, and I'm the type of player that reads lore books and listens to npc..but after a while It didn't feel interesting enough for me to listen. I just close quest and look for fastest way to finish it, hell even my quest decisions and optional outcomes I click on whatever pops, without choose side.

astro74 · November 2014

Would have liked more choices like:
Hell no, destroys the idea of leveling an alt...

rzupparo · November 2014

It kind of takes the fun out of starting a new character for a different faction. Maybe if the vet quests where different and not the same exact quests

Rosveen · November 2014

It makes no sense, but I'm okay with it as a crutch solution to let us play through all content with a single character without completely rewriting the quests. I still rolled alts though.

I don't like that we have to complete Silver to get access to the third alliance. All areas should be open when we hit veteran.

Cherryblossom · November 2014

I would personally prefer to level in one faction and then re-roll to level in another. Gives me more playability and a distinct difference in all my characters.

AlexDougherty · November 2014

I'm enjoying it so far.

Same here, disliked the start, did not like the start of Ebonheart pact much, started getting interesting in Shadowfern, and the nord areas are good.
Dc is plain over good.

The only real problem is then you fight your own alliance, however most of this can be skipped as its optional quests.

KenjiJU · November 2014

I think it'll be much better when all the Vet zones are 50 across the board, so we can go anywhere we prefer right off the bat. That way we're not stuck in the same progression as a new character, repeating the same path. There also needs to be some form of repeatable quests for each zone.

Unfortunately, I think doing it this way means they'll have to unwind a lot of things and fix by hand certain links in quests, similar to how they had to fix phasing issues quest-by-quest... Takes a lot of time.

Zorrashi · November 2014

I like the IDEA behind Cadwell's silver and gold, but highly dislike the execution. I don't even understand if I'm in an alternate timeline/existence or if I'm literally changing the course of history in my one timeline.

In EP in particular I am still implied to be the vestige even after I regained my soul, and a certain amount of the quest lines in terms if technicalities/magical qualities actually rely on me being a vestige and thus having certain special properties.

Add in the fact that I am not as inclined to experience the other factions with alts, and I find VR storyline to be bittersweet upon completion.

Gedalya · November 2014

I really get tired of posts like this; people wanting less nuance in the game. People wanting only PvE or only PvP. We need more features on all fronts; not less. If you don't want to play in the "alternate reality", then don't. Thank you.

Audigy · November 2014

The first implementation was great. You could level through the content in a harder difficulty. Those who were able to experience this had a great time.

With the nerfs now a simple VR1 mob is equally strong as a VR 10 so its pretty useless now.

Digiman · November 2014

This has its own slew of problems, I like that I am able to get all the skyshards and skill points but sort of hate the idea of helping solve my enemies problems.

Takes an arrow to the knee with faction pride.

It isn't really an option. Even if I grind through VR instead of questing, I still want skyshards and lorebooks at the very least - and to get to the third alliance I have to complete Cadwell's Silver.

Mettaricana · November 2014

its just boring redoing the factions over an over... that or craglorn grinding.. but the cadwell's stuff is mind numbing i might be less irritated if we can choose which zone we wanted to end up in as our starting vet zone like EP not always in daggerfall ( i cannot express how boring DC is same terrain no change for 3 -4 zones) i'd like vet content to be a lil more freedom like add some more neutral alliance zones or possibly other than craglorn deserts and ravines are a snore fest. i'd like to see maybe visits into daedric realms shivering isles dead lands etc. alternate paths to vet 10-12 other than crag grind and repetitive alternate reality rehash...
