It’s actually the excellent storytelling and exploration in the side quests that outshines the underwhelming dragons with heartfelt drama and comedy. Something as inherently awesome as invading dragons should make for a strong questline, especially when there are also Necromancers and their undead minions running around, to say nothing of an Imperial takeover of a key city that has left the poor Khajiit second-class citizens in their own land. I have a 1080 ti and a 8700k and the game runs at 20 fps in trials and in group in cyrodiil. It was released for Microsoft Windows and OS X in April 2014, with versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S planned. Its most obvious faults, in addition to a limp writing and quests that are not always interesting, are all found in the problems that have also characterized Summerset: that is, a structured "campaign" to be enjoyed alone, as well as badly integrated with a game world populated by hundreds of people. Generally favorable reviews All those wonderful architectural styles come together in the main city of Rimmen, which in turn is stuffed with every kind of crafting table and merchant within easy reach. In every region, Khmer-inspired ruins litter the landscape and hint at ages past when the Khajiit weren’t as disliked as they are now. Let’s put it this way, so I can end on a bad pun while I’ve still got your attention: In all those hours, I never found myself wanting to be elsewhere. Maybe I’m expecting too much from the setting. Necromancy is a touchy subject in The Elder Scrolls world, as its been outlawed by both the Psijic Order and the Mages Guild. Dragons are good stupid fun.
You’d think everyone in Elsweyr would find little time to think about anything but dragons burninating the countryside, but in truth you rarely hear about flying death monsters unless you’re on the 10-hour main quest or hunting their world boss versions in the open world (which are essentially the same Dark Anchors that have been around since ESO’s launch). Then of course there are the dragons: Every fight against the monstrous Flutterviecher feels really epic to me. Standouts include one in which I had to recruit crooks for a heist; hilarity ensued when each brought unexpected skills and issues with them.
You’ll also find exceptional sidequests and play as the outstanding new Necromancer class, and all of that makes up for the fact that the dragon-centric main storyline is a big letdown. The quests are awful! © 2020 CBS Interactive Inc. All rights reserved.

In every region, Khmer-inspired ruins litter the landscape and hint at ages past when the Khajiit weren’t as disliked as they are now. Wander around Elsweyr—the ancient homeland of the cat-like Khajiit people—and you’ll find fascinating vistas around every corner. 04:25. Windswept deserts lie on either side of the bridge-crossed canyons known as the Stitches while untamed jungles flourish to the south. The expansion whisks players away to the homeland of the Khajiit. Characters treated me differently based on the fact I practiced necromancy - I remember Abnur Tharn specifically vilify the Necromancers we were working against, while walking back his statements once I informed him that I, too, was a Necromancer. They come off as window dressing rather than all-consuming threats, and the predictability of their landing spots means they lack any of the menace of the dragons in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It’s also vaguely similar to the Sorcerer, with the main difference being that its pets (such as skeleton mages) don’t stick around like Sorcerer’s familiars. The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr - Review. Still another showed the benevolent side of spellcasters who like to tinker with corpses, as I teamed up with yet another elf to see why a bunch of corpses were having far too wild of a party at an old temple. In another, I actually felt sympathy for a lich after learning what led to his slide into darkness.

Elsweyr also gives players a big new house that’s right around the corner from all these shops just for playing through the main quest, and it’ll only get bigger as ESO’s planned “Season of the Dragon” sequence of downloadable content drops two new patches in the coming months. 8. Dragons do take quite a few people to fight, and fortunately, they’re considerably tougher than the Dark Anchors and Abyssal Geysers. The new zone is beautiful, the Necromancer class is excellent and the story is engaging.
The details in the architecture also serve as another example of how ESO excels at giving dignity to races that normally get treated like cat barf in games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
