If I would do all quests in a row to grind them out as fast as possible I would have found the quests tedious as heck as there is very little variation in these quests. Now I just grab the portal/parts whenever I am in the neighborhood of one (augur speaks up) or feel like picking one up/farming some one area at a time. But this way of doing does disconnect you from leveling it lore wise.

They are simply a go there click something, go somewhere else, click a thing with lots of travel in between and little in story content. Granted I like the auger comments and the ones where you follow a glowing thingies trail are a bit more fun, then simply clicking for the first few times. I haven't finished it all and hope the final quest adds something more.

I expected a bit more from the psijics. I actually hoped to get a questline comparable to thieves guild or dark brotherhood. But instead it is more like mages guild, book collecting. I prefer the guild leveling where you actually do various quests related to becoming one of them, maybe even some story instances. Learn more, get to know the people on a personal level. Have various quests. Even if you still had to do the fetch quests like you have to do murder sprees/thieving over and over to level the majority of it, preferably not though. More guild specific quests then just working with the order in the main quests for that quests goal.

Also it might have utilized artaeum more as most of it's landmass is quest less. Mostly repeated fetch quests aren't very engaging.
If one of the skillline upgrades was close 4 portals across Tamriel (or summerset, not both) as well as one being the follow the glowing thing trail to staff parts and the rest something else I would have been perfectly fine with it.

Implementing this would have made it a lot more work in development though, guess that's a big reason we got what we got.

I generally think that a lot more people would enjoy the game if they took the 'journey' as part of the fun instead of going on a helter-skelter mad dash for the 'finish line'.

The problem is that the 'journey' in this case is a trip to places I've already been often enough to have done everything of interest there. This isn't a vacation to new and exiting places; this is a trip to work with a particularly long commute. It's like trying to get excited over going to the grocery store. It might have been different if they had taken us somewhere new.

In any case, the Psijic questline really shouldn't be using the content of the rest of the game as a crutch for itself. It should be able to stand on its own merits.

It's not fun but at least it's quite fast, compared to 6+ hours of grinding undead/daedra for Fighters Guild and 2 full alliances worth of lore books for Mages Guild that take a day or more to get. For someone who knows the zones and has all the shrines discovered Psijic quest can be done in about 2-3 hours if you skip quest dialogue and rush to the portals.

The lore books you can at least find while doing other things. I never had to specifically look for them.

I’d reduce the number of tears, bury them deep in delves or really remote locations (and randomize them) and put a decent number of enemy waves around them. Make it like doing a dolmen. Maybe work in a puzzle to close the tear. The chatty skull could pose riddles or something.

Doing it for my main was ok, i wasnt doing it on one day so it was fine, not much fun but ok. Doing it all again on my toons will take a long time...i will probably only do the questline on 1 or 2 toons...

I enjoyed it but I was expecting a little more in the way of the Lore. The Psijic Order isn't just a mages guild it is a way of life and a monastic and spiritual endeavor. I felt like they didn't get into that enough.

It was okay, but I only did it on my main character so far. It is not bad to do, and the storyline behind it is interesting and I like the Augur's commentary. And a good thing is that you can farm some crafting nodes, skyshards and bosses on the way.

But I also understand it would be quite tedious to do it on several alts, especially if you have few wayshrines unlocked and a slow mount.

I mostly enjoyed it, except for having to go everywhere to seal all the breaches; that part got a bit tedious.

However, I do like being able to craft the psijic orbs for my houses. And I like finding psijic portals; they sometimes drop Hakeijo runes, which is way cool.

The Questline is nice. Just to grind to Levels to 10 sucks

Hated it. I did it relatively quickly on my one character because I was using one of their high end skills. But it wasn't something I enjoyed. Maybe the last one going from 9 to 10 was fine but the rest not so much. I won't bother on any other character I can't grind that again.

Still better than undaunted though. That's the line stopping me from making new chars.

No, no. I love fetch missions narrated by a cockney skull who provided me with a map that would make IKEA laugh.

Turbo no, nothing about that skill line leveling was fun.
