Returned to the game, a little help plz?

LuminaLilly · June 2019

I used to play this game hardcore since 2015, never missed a thing. Then I took a year long hiatus and played single player PC games. Now I'm back for a time being and this game feels fully reformed.

Can someone tell me what I missed? Like what's the meta, what class is the worst now and what is everyone going after now? I simply feel lost and even reading the patch notes, all I got from it is that there are overwhelming racial passive changes and necromancer is out.

So do you want four years of updates in one post or spread out over several post?

My take on current events:

If you like Magicka gameplay, try your hand at sorcerer, probably high elf.

StamDK is really nice. Unsure of the optimal race but that might depend on your preferred stamina based gameplay.

Others might have a different opinion and better information.

Looking for PvE or PvP in terms of class metas?

Content releases?

Because of scaling, you can do content in any order you want. If you are curious about the original release order, though, it goes like this:
- your home alliance quest line + the main story ("five companions) + Cyrodiil questing hubs/random overland one-shot quests
- Craglorn + other two alliance quest lines
- Imperial City (DLC with medium zone)
- Orsinium (DLC with large zone)
- Thieves Guild (DLC with medium zone)
- Dark Brotherhood (DLC with medium zone)
- Morrowind (Chapter - large zone)
- Shadows of the Hist (DLC - dungeons only)
- Horns of the Reach (DLC - dungeons only)
- Clockwork City (DLC with medium zone)
- Dragon Bones (DLC - dungeons only)
- Summerset (Chapter - large zone)
- Wolfhunter (DLC - dungeons only)
- Murkmire (DLC - medium zone)
- Wrathstone (DLC - dungeons only)
- Elsweyr (Chapter - large zone)

Craglorn and Imperial City are totally stand alone.

Orsinium is stand-alone but there is a very brief, very small hint about the Morrowind-Clockwork City-Summerset storyline at the end.

Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood are totally stand alone.

Morrowind, Clockwork City, and Summerset have their own stories but they form a larger, connected story.

Murkmire is totally stand alone.

Most of the dungeons-only DLC are stand alone, but Wrathstone (which is as of this date the latest content) is tied to all other content released in 2019 like the new Elsweyr chapter

Or actually everything?

the best advice I can give you is: run while you can

I've been off for a little over a year. So maybe around that

Read up on item sets, QoL improvements etc don't blow your gold until you do, I bought sets that are obsolete because there are better options. Join a guild.

For meta builds, you can check alcasthq and xynode.
