Maintenance for the week of April 13:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 13

Could we get a "How Long To Beat" for the main parts of each Crown Store DLC?

Just curious so I know which ones I should get into at which times, for personal reasons.

    It would be kinda cool to see something like "X Hours of Gameplay Content" kinda like what old games use to do. "This game has X hours of story content based on an average play through"

    I always liked when games did that, though I knew full well that it depends on the player its still a cool metric.

    An intended difficulty rating for each mode might be a nice touch.

    Regarding timeframes, are you looking for just a clear, a clear on various difficulties, or something like "All achievements" type clear?

    The times will vary considerably on all of those for a variety of factors.

    (Would be cool if they'd introduce a metric that would suggest how much time DLC would provide to a specific player based on playstyle, etc, but I don't see them going into that level of detail any time soon.)
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    IRL'ing for a while for assorted reasons, in forum, and in game.

    I'm personally just looking for a clear time estimate for the main quests of each DLC. Would I be able to complete (at least the non-dungeon) DLC main stories in a month with a few hours of play a day?

    if you look back at every announcement for every DLC, they do state how many hours estimated on the main story quest line =) hope this was any helpfull xD
    Cleared Trials:
    - vAA HM - vHRC HM - vSO HM - vMoL HM - vHoF HM - vAS HM - vCR HM -

    Thieve’s Guild and Bark Brotherhood arguably have the longest main quest content of a single zone DLC, but only because they require doing repeatables before more of the main questline is unlocked. With every wayshrine unlocked i’m sure it’s cut down severely.

    Wrothgar is, maybe 5 hours?

    CWC takes about 3-4 hours, even taking time to read the dialogue.

    Morrowind main quest took me about 6 hours when I focused on it.

    Summerset seems like its gonna take a bit longer, maybe 7 or 8 hours during a rush. However it is really easy to get involved with side quests and they don’t feel entirely unrelated to the main questlines which is nice.


    Also you can’t really trust ZOS content time estimates since they more often than not include every side quest into them.

    These estimates are wildly inaccurate.

    Thing is, you can do most story content in minutes per quest, or you can draw out quest sections to take hours. Its all in how you play. As soon as they say X number of hours, posts show up on release day saying I finished content in 3 hours they lied. These people just click through things.

    I will say this MQ won't be done that quickly, I had a mega speed boost on my test character, and I did not finish in 8 hours of testing. And I was not reading dialog as I clicked through, as a stress test to the Breadcrumb system. So, I was doing the story content faster than anyone reasonably could on Live. Not sure how far I got, but I was getting close to the end according to the Content Designer. And this was just MQ, not Psyjiic.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
