Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

I have been thinking about getting DLC content. Which of the DLC's is best? Which is more worth it?

    Orsinium is fantastic,

    Thieves and Brotherhood are great too, if you enjoy questing and exploring new places, they're just not that big compared to Orsinium.

    I haven't actually the two others yet.

    for true end game content you need the ICP dlc and thieves guild and shadow of the hist just because of the fact these come with the new trial and dungeons but my fav dlc content wise was wrothgar

    Thieves Guild
    Orsinium - Most content but gets boring fast with no interesting characters

    Thieves guild - Best characters but if you are not good at sneaking not for you

    Dark Brotherhood - Great voice acting and nice characters again with the sneaking though

    Have not played the other DLC's.

    1. Orsinium - huge DLC with interesting quests;
    2. Dark Brotherhood - well, I always do the assassins guild story since Morrowind, also it was so great to see Kvatch in its full glory, and Anvil again :)
    3. Thieves Guild - little boring, but very nice locations; also my Khajiit thief feels very pleased, yes?
    4. The Hist - meh, can live without it;
    5. IC - a grind-fest disaster, give me my money back!!! Such a huge potential for a great story wasted...

    Orsinium. It just feels so much more complete and well done compared to the others. But the others are fun too.

    I love doing quests and dungeons with others, I don't consider myself a PVP'er, that being said, Orsinium and Dark Brotherhood were hands down the best.

    I have ESO plus, so I have checked them all out, the others had good things in them too, but for me you just cant top Orsinium and the Dark Brotherhood.

    No, that would be Dark Brotherhood. No group content, no meaningful solo content like Maelstrom Arena, forgettable characters, grinding required to advance main quest, guild dailies worse than in TG... Sweetroll Killer is its only saving grace, other than that it didn't really bring anything new to the table. It should have been bundled with TG and sold as one crime-focused DLC, that would have been acceptable.

    Hist was small, but straightforward about what it was and who it was aimed at. The new sets were useful and the dungeons fun enough that I will come back to them in the future. I doubt I will ever replay Dark Brotherhood.

    Thanks!

    Depends on you tbh, if you are more into story or PvE or PvP

    Imperial city = mostly PvP however comes with two PvE dungeons so it's PvP and PvE mixed

    Orsinum = all about PvE, has a decent story and gives you ability to play maelstorm arena which is a nice solo arena somefind it hard af some find it easy af so depends on your build and lvl anyears you can get a title for aceing the vet mode with no death "flawless conquer" which is quite hard but yeah you can get maelstrom weapons with 1 set befits, they used to be nice but with all new sets they aren't that nice anymore

    Thieves guild = Unlocks PvE zone called hew's bane where you go and find out why the old heist went wrong and why did everyone die, basicly stealing stuff without being seen or otherwise you will have a huge bounty that will cost you loads, and you can also the delves and complete a achievement by stealing all hidden antique stuffs all around tamerial and puting them in their places, unlocks a momento and a title called "master theif" also unlocks trial called "maw of lorkaj"

    Dark brotherhood = Unlocks PvE zone gold cost has a good story in which you go and complete brotherhood contracts and basicly go and assinate people and gives you access to blade of woe, you can sneak up behind any humandroid and kill em, ofc grants less xp but drops stolen good(s) that you can sell at the fence, be advised the qualit that item will drop in depends on your lvl in ledgermain

    Shadows of the hist = unlocks two dungeons which are the same on vet and normal but on vet it's harder then normal, you can unlock loads of achievements on VET mode for example having a no death run, they unlock the famous spiderkieth skin and amberplasm but they are hard af so once again it depends on your lvl and build

    All are good except shadow of hist, I am not saying that it's garbage however its not worth the crowns it priced at please keep in mind that it's my opinion only but yeah like others have said it's better to just subscribe eso plus as its cheaper and only cost you the price for 1500 crowns which you essentially get back as it gives 1500 crowns every month

    it depends on what you want.

    Orsinium is YUGE and has tons of stuff for most everyone... but.. it does not include any new skill line.

    DB and TG are great, 1/3 at best vs orsinium, but in addition to world bosses and delves and such provide new skill lines, useful ones too for some players - clemency and dark supplier are good.

    Hist is just new group content so its good if thats what you want.

    prices vary.

    i would say though that while i love orsinium, because it has no skill lines, its not content i find desirable to run with all of my alts beyond skyshards type grabs. TG and esp DB do have content i want to run for multiple characters to unlock the skill lines - at least to rank 4.

    The first 4 dlc is being offered as a package now. Best Buy and get 4/5.

    Subbing does offer best value IMO. Especially with the crafting bag.

    Orsinium is my favourite. A great questline, even the side quests are decent, the one at the top of the map where you rescue the grounded ship crew in the storm is absolutely incredible. The DLCs went downhill since then

    I feel like arguing about it on this forum is a waste of breath, but... Subbing offers best value only if you are interested in crown store cosmetics etc. If you only buy DLC, they typically cost 5.5k crowns a year, which is $24 during crown sale. Subbing would cost at least $156 a year, so you'd essentially be paying $130 for the crafting bag, which isn't necessarily such a good deal (not in my opinion, anyway).

    That said, it's a good idea to sub for a month, check out all DLC and then decide which one you want to buy.

    IC is a must, Soth also had good dungeons. The rest are mostly story content and a few crafted sets, not really worth it imo

    My personal reccomendations.

    Orsinium, DB, and TG, if you PVE. The PVE content with Orsinium is awsome, and the storylines and guild passives if you intend to get into thievery as a way to make gold on a daily basis, DB and TG are a must. While the stealth mechanics arrent that great, their by far some of the best this game has to offer.

    Imperial city is PVP. That's about all there is to say. Do you enjoy PVP? Then you'll enjoy imp city. Do you have no interest in it and would like to do the quests without geting ganked? Steer clear of this. The only thing you get is a ammount of tel-var stones not worth much and a dye. The dungeons, while fine and dandy, are not worth 20 bucks, at least to be. But if you were going to pay 20 bucks for some dungeons, then...well this is the one I'd choose. Speaking of which...

    SHADOWS OF THE HIST IS SOME OF THE WORST DESIGNED CONTENT I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THIS GAME. It is hardcore pandering, plain and simple. I have never met a group that can do the pledge hardmode. The mechanics are so harsh that I dont want to play these. Mazzatun and Velindreth are some of the worst designed final boss fights I have ever seen, and if you dont have any interest in raid-level hard, you should steer far far away from these dungeons. If you have a guild full of elites, buy ESO plus, have them carry you through these for the skins, never set foot in these ever again.

    Orsinium gives you the most content for the $$$. It is by far my favorite DLC.
