Finished main story

Artfuldodger · August 2015

And what a great story it is, fantastic, superb, wonderful, better than cheese. Okay now I sound like a couple of the characters.

The story main line for me was fantastic, I enjoyed every minute of it. Yes I may have moaned about certain aspects along the way (Will probably continue to do so). Aside from that I think the work that went into the game is fantastic. The scenery was very well detailed and atmospheric. The character acting was just brilliant, no over acting or "I'm just going to do this because I want the money" type of acting.The whole game was well planned and executed. I loved doing the quests and main story line, now that it is finished I will miss it.

Considering the game never cost a great deal, I think it is value for money too fold. Glad I made the decision to buy it.

No over acting? Um, Vanus Galerion? Really?

Xendyn · August 2015

Glad you enjoyed it

I did too the first couple times through.
So now are you going into Vet or starting an alt in one of the other factions?

Why the past tense? You're only 1/4 through the content ...

It was a good story. A hero. And now you're just another nobody or a spy. I don't like that part of it.. I took out Molag Bal for all 3 factions.. I should be a hero to all.

And for the fact I was sent to another faction as a spy I should be spying not helping them..

Maybe you'd feel a bit better about that if you hadn't skipped Cadwell's dialog for Silver and Gold.

I didn't skip it just doesn't make sense to me. I'm DC, for King Emeric - and then suddenly I'm fight against the King. My memory didn't go so why?

Well, apparently you DID skip over the dialog since ...

NONE of it is real! It's all a what-if scenario you experience inside Cadwell's mind. You never actually help the opposing factions. It's a thought experiment to show you what would have happened *if* you had chosen another alliance.

I still don't enjoy it. I like or would have liked the meridia aspect better. A spy..

Artfuldodger · August 2015

@SirAndy I know, it is just that I enjoyed it hopefully I will do the next part.

@lathbury No! Ha ha ha ha

Did someone say Meridia? Yet another Daedric Prince I'd love to slaughter, or at least *** slap...

Rosveen · August 2015

I thought it was pretty boring tbh. A few pure exposition quests, easy final battle, annoying characters, unimmersive follow-up, portals and portals and portals... I like the faction storylines much better. Coldharbor is very atmospheric, however.

dudenamedchris · August 2015

Couldn't resist reading the spoiler alert lol

NDwarf · August 2015

Well glad you enjoyed it. I found it forgettable but when everyone is the chosen one but not really my guy is THE chosen one, it's meh. Running back to the cave to talk to old Blindy McQuestgiver every 5 levels was also meh.

His ghost image would appear and be like "Vestige we need to act fast and save the world! Come back to the cave!" I'm like "er...ok I'll get back to that but first I need to break down loot for mats, repair armor, bank items, transfer items between mules, do writs, and train my horse."

Old Blindy, "Did I mention the fate of the world rest on you?"

Me, "Yah yah, I'll get to it."

dudenamedchris · August 2015

The game really isn't as good as sky rim. In sky rim there's a far deeper level of depth and importance to your character and everything in he story has meaning and you have more options and far far better graphics

Well yeah. This is an online MMO not a single player game. You can't have individual outcomes and all the npcs tuned to your character in a world where 10,000 other people are doing the same thing.
Pretty much the same for the graphics, we'd never even be able to move if all that had to be sent to our computers constantly.

Maybe someday technology will enable that, but not today.

Chaos_Deception · August 2015

Is the Final Level hard?

Can You gain Skill Points when Travelling to other Factions.

BaconMagic · August 2015

Is anything level 1-50 hard?

After the main story, you will still earn skill points for certain quests and when you rank up a veteran level. It's not much different, only slower.

whoa whoa whoa sweet child of mine...a positive comment on the eso forums..time to eat my hat!

Vanus was always portrayed as this elitist smug prick. If anything they basically nailed him in ESO.

first play skyrim without any mods (expecialy graphical ones), eso isn't as lushier in the wilds (because of permance) but the graphics are much better, cities are bigger, more populated and etc

second, skyrim is awesome but the mainstory (and quests in general) are the weakest part of skyrim, you are a nobody prisioner, dragon attacks and you break free, 10 minutes later kill a **** dragon and every one is HURRAY you are the legendary dragonborn! now go see the greybeards and fulfill your epic destiny, proced to kill more dragons like they are clifracers and unlock shouts, solve the problem between the blades and greybeards (a stupid one, parthy is trying to redeem himself and the blades who are SWORN to protect and obey the dragonborn sudenly go all, if you are not with us you are against us and not welcome here until you can see things our way), later fight the world eater Alduin atop the throat of world, then chase him to sovgarde, the nordic paradise and defeat him there with the help of legendary nordic heroes of old, the main quest focus so much on YOU ARE EPIC, EVERYTHING IS EPIC, YOUR DESTINY IS EPIC that in the end nothing is truly epic.

ESO is not perfect, far from it, but it has a much better paced storyline, you have your truly epic moment in the end with the guilds and the invasion of coldharbour but you are NOT a special cookie, you get there by your achievements and the help of others, the game is very clear in this and that alone and without meridia's help, the guilds help, the companions and Akatosh's blessing you would not be able to stand a chance against a daedric prince and even then you just slow him and his plans down since he can't truly be defeated

Prof_Bawbag · August 2015

Really disappointed with Cadwell's silver. My character was AD and now doing silver in EP and to say the world feels empty is an understatement. Davon's Watch is empty. And it only gets more painful as things progress. That's what i liked about ESO, the cities always felt alive. can't see myself carrying on much longer. Would rather just start a new alt and do the story in those pacts, using a character from those pacts.

Smug I will accept. But it was so much mellodrama "I am the grrrrreaaatest Mage in the worrrrllllld!!!"

Admittedly, I laughed pretty hard at some of the lines, so maybe it was actually comedic gold? Kind of like Calculon on Futurama.

yeah i always laugh at that..the future of tamriel is in your hands,we must make haste..im in the background opening a urn and reading bookshelves at my leisure lol.

Artfuldodger · August 2015

I played Sky rim for a couple of weeks and in all honesty, I never got the hang of it. That was just me though and in no way a reflection on the game itself. It does appear I have missed a lot having read the comments.

I gave this one a go and stuck with it and I am glad I did, for me it was great, but whatever floats your boat lol. Seriously speaking I liked it. I never realised before defeating mogul what's his face, how many other story lines and quests I still have to do.

Least to say, yes I can moan about the game I could write a whole book on the issues I have, now and before. However I just wanted to put them aside to say that from level 1-50, I really did enjoy the storyline and game play in general.

I shall report back after a few quests in the next chapter of things.

dudenamedchris · August 2015

I liked the whole epic ness of sky rim that's what eso lacks though

Lol. Bethesda can't write, stories are the weakest part of their games and there's very little recognition of your actions other than passing guard comments. You can assassinate the emperor and then join the Imperial Legion to conquer Skyrim as if nothing happened. Nearly ever quest is completely linear, with murder as the only solution to problems (however, world design is beautifully non-linear). It's an insanely engaging and immersive game, but its gameplay isn't deep at all.
