Finally... My Elder Scrolls Moment

I'll be the first to admit I've openly complained about this game, or more specifically its faults, but I do truly love it. That said one things has always eluded me and that was that sense I was playing Elder Scrolls, that I was in Tamriel. Until now....

I decided to take a break from the monotonous grind that is VR and just go explore, no goals, no objective, just walk around. So... I see a hill with some structures on top, I go climb it and wow !

On reaching the top of the hill I found this, beautiful ruins.

Taking a step back to enjoy the ruins in all their glory

As I turned around to back down the other side of the hill I saw this, and for me, this is what I had waited so long for...

Its not just the fact that the view is astonishing. Looking down the hill I can see more ruins in the distance just waiting to be explored. A small road winds its way into the distance and I actually found myself wondering what was at the other end !

That one view, those few brief moments for me summed up everything Elder Scrolls Online needed to achieve, it was an Elder Scrolls game. I spent the next few moments just turning around, enjoying that fantastically beautiful view. Then I logged out ( I figured it just doesn't get any better than that and what a great way to end a days gaming)

More memorable moments-

    i explore all the time, its my favorite thing to do. :)

    i was kind of worried about how the game would turn out. i have been waiting for it since they announced they were going to make an mmo, but as it grew closer i kept seeing bad reviews. even my brother said it was going to be terrible.

    but, ive been playing for about a week and i absolutely love the game. i am just enjoying it so much. its got everything i could ask for in a game, and more. <3

    also, ive never really bothered much about the lore before, but this game has made me much more interested. im especially fascinated with the argonians, and i cant wait to visit black marsh.

    :)
