PC Players: Overall Satisfaction with Thieves Guild DLC

GreenGhostMan · March 2016

To all the PC players with Thieves Guild DLC:

I'm on XB1, so I'm curious to know how PC players rate the Thieves Guild DLC from an overall perspective?
Is it worth getting?
Best part about it? Worst?

I won't comment on the bugs and other minor mishaps to come with this DLC release (most of those are client related, the others will get ironed out before console launch I'm sure).

Overall, I like it. The zone Hew's Bane is just a bit too small for my taste, however. I would have preferred it to be maybe twice the size (which would still be half as big as Wrothgar, maybe even less). But the activities that TG introduces are really fun, and the city of Abah's Landing is great. If you like playing a thief character, then this DLC is obviously going to give you a good experience. YMMV of course. I like the storyline of the TG quest a lot and the NPCs added are colorful and have their own identities. I haven't played the new trial yet but I've heard good things.

As a PvP player, I see very little reason to pick up this patch. So, i didn't buy it.

Crashing all day long, can't tell.

EnemyOfDaState · March 2016

Appearance 10/10

Story 7/10

Characters 7/10

Total Content 4/10

Overall 6/10 It's worth checking out but the amount of stuff to do is lacking.

OK first off I haven't completed it - I rate it a B - reasons as follows

The Plus
The story seems good
Thieving and Hiests are very good addition - they add an extra element to the game
Hews Bane (the city) is very nice

The minuses
I have to play a thief no choices at all about that - this is the big one (I want to join the merchant lords)
I got murderer because for some reason a citizen just attacked me
Playing a thief gets you insane wealth goes back to point 1.

My view is if you want to play a thief this is a must play addition (A++) it does what it sets out. If you don't want to play a thief then is not worth it (D) if you don't have a thief character but feel like you done all the content so far its worth a shot.

A god dlc too bad they don't have expanded the new thieves mechanics to all the zones of Tamriel.
And pvp is fun again!!!

Too early to give a final verdict, but I'm NOT happy that you can't smash and grab your way through the first TG quest. Are all the TG quests like this? I don't like mechanics where I'm not allowed to fight back against attackers.

Turn offf "prevent attacking innocents" in your game options. It's a ham-fisted way of getting around this, and you can't use AoE unless you want the chance of provoking random NPCs but you can fight back.

If your into trials it is a must have. The new trial has the best designed/most interesting boss mechanics in the game. Not the best I've seen but the best Zos has delivered to date. Holding they continue in the same direction.

Ritzey01 · March 2016

I have really enjoyed it so far. I love the new motifs a lot. The Soul Shriven weapons are awesome, the Outlaw armor looks amazing! Landscape if well done ( as always) just cant want to get into it more and get some farming done!

Ruben · March 2016

I loved being a thief in the previous ES games, so I love this DLC. The next one will also be great for me (as a kind of murderous psychopath thief).

GreenGhostMan · March 2016

Looks like mixed results. I don't really have a thief character at the moment... Haven't really ever been into that style of play either... Might pass on this one.

PainfulFAFA · March 2016

Pve: They improved the LFG tool alot. I like it more. You can earn cool rewards if you do a random vet dungeon using the lfg tool. You can invite cross factions now too.

PvP: Siege hurts. Forwards camps are back. Class balances. All toons can home/guest anywhere. Rwards for the worthy all drop cool stuff (as soon as they fix it on monday)

Overall, i like this patch because of the FIXES and IMPROVEMENTS rather than for the actual DLC lol. I havent even gone into Hews Bane yet.
7/10

jkemmery · March 2016

I've only done a few of the quests so far, but I will say this: Hew's Bane looks great and is full of top level crafting mats!

Troneon · March 2016

It lacks content.

One trial is not enough group content either.

The zone is super tiny and has hardly anything in it. It feels like a starter zone. The city is pretty much a quarter of the whole zone map..

VR16 mats are now super common so the market on that is crashing and those who waited and farmed forever for VR16 full sets in IC and Orsinium wasted their time...

Currently a bug with treasure troves spawn times means everyone is making insane amount of gold and is also crashing the economy a bit...

Overall unless you care about the max level new Trial gear....

No it is not worth it to bother.

Reykice · March 2016

Rollbacks, bugs and so on. I got it had the crowns but i wish i didn`t as i feel bad supporting the game with all the bugs and rollbacks introduced by the DLC/patch.

Same.

Nothing for the PvP players here.

LadyNalcarya · March 2016

Its very buggy, but I'm still enjoying it so far.

I really like the new trial and quests.

The thing I'm trying to find out is if the final passive of Thieves Guild applies to everyone or just npc's. When I read over the description it looks like just npc's, but if the detection radius adjusts vs. players then this is almost a must have for anyone in pvp.

NBrookus · March 2016

I'll probably do the quest line eventually. But as someone not really interested in grinding thieves guild reputation to get skills I won't use, it's a big "meh" from me. I bought it for the new trial.

It's another win for the art department, though. Well crafted and the extra dimensions of travel in this city are pretty cool.

hingarthuub17_ESO · March 2016

The new zone looks great and some of the quests are fun to do. That being said, I seem to be continually failing and getting bounty after bounty when pickpocketing, even though I can find mobs consistently with an 85% chance of success. It's pretty freaking tedious. I've put points into Legerdemain (Improved Hiding, LIght Fingers, etc) and Thieves Guild (Switfly Forgotten, Clemency).

I'm not sure what else I can do to fix this.

dodgehopper_ESO · March 2016

I've managed to hop on and mess around with TG a little bit in the last couple of days and I loved it. I love the fact that it sends you all over the world as well. I -really- hope they do something like this for FG and MG. At least Undaunted has its dailies. It would be nice if FG/MG had something, though I think Spellcrafting was going to be the mages version of repeatable missions.

I love riding around on my camel in the desert, with my hopping firetoad. The story so far is really interesting and my only regret in the whole thing is that there was no opposing faction for us to join. I don't know enough about the Iron Wheel to know if they would have made sense, and I don't want to know until I finish the storyline. This new area definitely feels like it has been done with the same crisp quality as Wrothgar, and I like a lot of the features added. It makes me really hopeful that the DB update will do some fantastic things for Alchemy and Poison.

rfennell_ESO · March 2016

It's not a lot of content.

Full play through of the zone is likely 10 hours or so.

Mojmir · March 2016

All good in the usual depts.(art,story). Place is too small,world bosses are cool,should be more.trial is OK,cant skip the dialogue, which was fine,the first cpl times.i like the crafting area being all in one tight spot.the crafted sets aren't for me.drops are good.mat finding is great.too small an are bottom line.grinding in the citadel is a bonus. Need another way shrine

greylox · March 2016

Love it but it's too small and not hard enough. Heists are an interesting idea but I can't see me doing too many of them. It also needs more (harder) world bosses and dungeons. The quests are great though, entertaining...but all this getting caught in restricted areas is costing me a fortune

nemisan · March 2016

I am having a blast...gzs to zos..perfect time to play a baby nb ..worth getting, there is only one answer: yes!

nine9six · March 2016

I like it so far. I think I'll like it a bit more when it's less crowded.
