I have over 1000 hours in-game and I haven't even considered doing the main quest.

How funny is this?

I don't think it's unusual because ESO is a massive game and you can jump in and start anywhere.

I got over 24k hours and just decided to complete all the base zones lol only have AD to do now.

The end of the main Coldharbour quest is very cool. I don't love save-the-world plots, but Coldharbour made sense as a conclusion to the Five Companions' story and the Worm Cult plotlines told through the 16 large basegame zoes.

I know multiple ppl that have barely touched any pve in this game except for maybe some skywards and public dungeons for skill points.
Each to their own I suppose.

Once you make up your mind, do it on Vestige difficulty ;3
It makes the difference to make it feel epic.

I am the opposite. When I started playing, I played the main quest + all expansions main quest within the first 100 hours. But I do that with every game I play. I finished up Black Flag Resynced main quests and epilogue yesterday too.

This is how all Elder Scrolls games are meant to be played, so nothing unusual. :-D

My main draw to join ESO has been seeing more of Tamriel, a place TES IV made me love.

ESO Main Quest never interested me so I skipped it for so long, intending to never play it.

Can't remember when it happened but I wanted fast Skill Points and someone suggested me to grind the Main Quest - btw, there are better ways to farm them IMO.

I completed it and all in all I've liked maybe 3 scenes, the most epic ones.

Would I highly suggest to play it as a superb, unmissable opera? Not by itself. Where it gets good is in the bits you get afterward in Summerset, Solstice and the likes...

To me, it remains kind of a slog that I have no will to repeat. I've always thought TES strength resides in having good "sidequests".

So if anyone prefers to skip it, I totally understand it. You'll miss on something but this game is wonderful because you can literally lose yourself doing anything, even just gathering torchbugs to annoy Mirri or fishing to annoy Ember...

The content is worth doing once though the writing really suffered after Gold Road
