    It's loads of fun.Lots to win,gather,or just jump off waterfalls for an achievement! You can find easy kills,and hard ones both. I really do like the quests,which feel more like an real TES game vthan the other places.Also,lots of people dont mind running through a delve with you,grouping up for some quests,etc. If they make another DLC like this one,I'll be happy.
    (Those who only like PvP will cry a lot though.)

    I like both PvE and PvP, and I have to say I do like Orsinium. I like the world bosses if you can get a very small group together they can be really challenging. The arena is my next challenge and I have a feeling that will take a while till I get the mechanics just right... so yeah its worth it.
    PC NA DC 4eva! I try my very best. If it is not good enough for you too bad! Playing off and on since April 2014 CP2009.

    You're joking, right? Orsinium is full of group content, even though it was never publicised that way. You can't do the daily boss quests without a group, and many people group up for the public dungeons.
    The only thing you can't have a group in is the Maelstrom Arena.

    This is something that I was not actually able to test on live and may not be entirely true.

    When Orsinium came to the PTS some of the world bosses were very hard but soloable. On live they appear to be buffed quite a bit but I am not sure that they are not still soloable with some class/build combos. I will try again when the masses abandon it since at the moment it's very hard to get alone time with them.
    I actually think those things should be soloable otherwise they will become as useless as Craglorn once the masses move on to the next thing.
    The public dungeons on the other hand are just extremely annoying. People just zerg them and spin round and round and round breaking my murshun :# . I would have loved if they were instanced like Crag delves so i could play the. alone or with a group of max 4.

    I like it so far. A good addition for those that finished Cadwell's gold and cannot group for Craglorn.

    $24.99. I will get that back in enjoyment, so it's all good.
    The Khajit-Orc quest and dialog is wonderful!

    If you're a crafter, it's not really optional. Gathering, crafting stations, and writ turn-ins take away your option to pass it up.

    The main story is lame. Hated it. Wanted it to just be over and done with half way through. The environment and main city are dull. Nothing worth seeing and not pleasing to the eye at all.

    The only bright spot is the "group" content, but the rewards from it aren't enough to make it worthwhile.

    At least 2 of them are soloable.
    Nzachlschidfdfsd (the dwemer boss) was tough cos i use inferno staff, but i did solo him in about 10min^^
    Chief Edu was easier.

    Havent tried to other bosses yet but Poachers and Corinthacc should be possible as well (criple, sap caötrops and run run run^^)

    the only one i think i could never beat is the female titan. #OPfemale

    Roaming around the past few days I haven't seen one single grind spot. They went out of their way to make sure no more than 3 monsters are around at one time lol. They need to learn to cater to all thier customers not just the questers

    I passed on this DLC. I play MMOs for fun challenging group content. Since all my PVE guilds are dead at the moment, I couldnt in good conscience give them money as that would signify I was ok with their decision for a solo based DLC when there's already too many hours of solo content in 1-50, cald silver, and cald gold.
    I'm kind of a small deal!

    Absolutely. In fact the game doesn't feature grinding a single time you have to go out and make it a feature. But honestly I think you are just jealous of grinders and lashing out against me over it. I say LOL to you sir

    Well then, I hate to break it to you, but the majority of players in this game are SOLO PvE players who enjoy grouping on occasion. Expect many more DLCs with the same type of content in the future because if ZOS wants to make money, they will continue making content for the majority. We saw how well the PvP-focused IC went (it didn't), and hardly anyone would buy a DLC that was mostly full of forced group content.

    I hate to break it to you but if they keep catering to solo PVErs, there will be no more game to develop for. There are no successful MMOs that use this business model.

    It was great at first, but I've quickly lost love for it. As far as PVE content goes, it's absolutely brilliant, and a must-have for any PVE enthusiast.
    Sadly I'm a PVPer at heart, so after running through the main quest and several dungeons more than once I quickly became bored. Your experience may differer, though.
    Still, it's a great place to level alts. The battle levelling means you can access any part of Wrothgar regardless of your level. The mobs are more of a challenge, you get higher stats, and it's just a whole new zone to level in instead of the same old crap we're used to it.
    So basically I just use it to make new alts, reach level 10, then go PVP. For me, it's worth it just for that so I don't get completely bored of the game.
    I also enjoy watching people fall to their deaths while trying to get the cliff diving achievement. For an added bonus, I'd take groups of people to the wrong cliff and tell them to jump off because "that's where it was".

    @Alucardo Can you run Failstom Arena with a low level and get low level versions of the sets that drop there?
