It was a beautiful athmospher, although I didn't imagined Altmer would have the architectural style of the High Middle Ages that seems lazy to me. When I think of Altmer, I imagine glass-y stuff.

To each his own, but I thought the High Gothic was fantastic. And if it is misplaced, I wouldn't call it lazy, simply uncharacteristic. I might give High Gothic to the Bretons, although the idea of a high gothic tower for a wizard seems to fit the Altmer in my view.

I am loving Summerset too. I feel like Orsinium finally has a masterful sequel in Summerset. I also think it's the best new zone created in this game, very narrowly rising above Wrothgar. It has all those hidden touches I feel Wrothgar had, everything just feels so good as an explorer. I mean, seriously, I can spend an hour just wandering around an intensely beautiful coastline searching for sea shells. How cool is that? The beach dolmens were a brilliant idea as well. It's all just so summery and pretty and magical, a wanderer's paradise, and a worthy edition to the Elder Scrolls franchise. I am tripping over NPC's out in the middle of no where with entertaining little side quests, which do not require a long commitment of time to complete. I love this so much. I feel like all my quiet complaints about Morrowind have all been resolved in Summerset. There are not a lot of closed off areas, areas void of much to do, or boring, repetitive environments. We have two brand new skill lines we are all eagerly leveling. The rareness of the two (very pretty) motifs offered is just at the right place to keep us coming back to tackle the group content for a long time to come. I'm also loving the new mechanics (and difficulty level) of the world bosses and I'm feeling like my support skills are making a difference. I honestly feel like I will be spending at least a year here enjoying it all.

Admittedly, I've been a bit of a brat about not getting my spell crafting already. But, honestly, for this chapter, it doesn't even matter. Everything here is super satisfying even without new weapons or a massive dump of new spells for us to learn via spell crafting. I'm having a hard time playing any other game at the moment. Summerset is definitely where it's at.

I have another big thank you for Summerset and Zenimax. I want to give a special thank you from the bottom of my Templar healer's glowing yellow heart for the changes made to healing ritual (specifically, giving us hasty prayer). I absolutely love clapping my hands and instantly doling out a big group heal, but, most importantly, giving everyone the rare minor expedition buff. This is such a great change! It's never leaving my bar.

Thank you also for the new Psjiic skill: Channeled Acceleration. When the major expedition buff is complimented by a buff to damage as well, this is always a really nice ability to have.

Now, what I really want to thank you for is finally letting me have a speedy templar! This is all I felt was missing from this class. Nearly every day, I bemoaned the slowness that was my Templar while my Stam Warden darted around the world seemingly as fast as a sprinting mount. It may take a few well-timed finger presses, but there are moments now where my Templar feels just as fast. Channeled Acceleration, clap, clap, repeat.

One thing, though, I would love it if you dropped the channel and made the ability instant cast as its baseline. Think about it? Or even cut the time in half on the channel. It's kind of awkwardly long. Whatever though. Thank you, still.
