I'm clapping with my feet because I'm using my hands to play! Honestly, remarkable! The best questline yet in ESO.
Despite the bad Nocturne model, everything was simply awesome!
The characters are incredibly well written and you really feel empathy for them (even the evil ones). I just can't pick a favorite... Raz is incredible, Darien is incredible, the psijic mages couple is incredible...
The scenario is just breathtaking! Very beautiful, really felt like world end.
The main quest itself was really intense and very well written. Comparing to other DLCs and Chapter, the story is much better written and has way fewer cliches and obvious dialogues.
The ending and all the secret interactions are very special and emotive and brought me a very good "farewell my friends" ending similar to the LOTR books. I simply love that ZOS team really puts efforts into the little details. For me, an ES game means a meticulous narrative and they delivered exactly that!
Now, about the Summerset side quests itself. Although pretty good, I felt like they were too short. Every area got only a single quest to tell its story... I strongly feel that they focused their time on the main quest and didn't have time to fill the areas. Which is not bad, but gets the wrong approach. I mean, they should really plan either make a large map the size of Summerset with plenty of side quests and a short main story or a small map with a large story or spend more than an year to make a new chapter. Don't get me wrong, Summerset is amazing but I feel one year gap between chapters is too short.
And here we discuss the future of ESO. What do you think will come next? My opinion (and suggestion) is that they focus on activity-based DLCs and Map-only chapters. The daedric plot has ended, let us rest a little bit! (which doesn't mean we won't have fun!) We should have a DLC similar to Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood - why not my so desired Bard's College? And for Chapter, let us visit Elsweyr and help its folk with its plots. There is no need for a highly dangerous threat or anything like that. I say Elsweyr is where we should go and even Raz said he would go home to visit his family.
What do you think? Let's discuss Summerset and the future of ESO!
