Okay, so I heard about this new update for ESO, and I was like, “Alright, let’s see what’s up!” I’ve been playing ESO on and off for a while, you know, not super hardcore, but enough to get excited about new stuff.
First thing I did was fire up the game. Gotta make sure everything’s downloaded and patched, right? Took a bit, ’cause my internet’s kinda potato sometimes. While that was going, I hopped on some forums and Reddit to see what other players were saying. Just wanted to get a feel for the general vibe, you know, see if there were any major bugs or anything I should watch out for.
Once everything was installed, I logged in. My main character’s a Breton Sorcerer, pretty standard, nothing fancy. I usually just mess around with questing and exploring, I’m not really into the whole PvP thing. First impressions? The game looked… pretty much the same, honestly. I mean, the update notes talked about some graphical improvements, but I didn’t notice anything crazy different. Could just be my settings, though.
Diving into the New Content
So, the big thing with this update was the new zone, right? I went straight there. I won’t spoil any of the story, but the starting quest was pretty cool. It introduced some new characters, set the scene, all that good stuff. I spent a few hours just running around, doing quests, picking up crafting materials (gotta keep that alchemy stocked!), and just generally exploring.
- New quests? Check. They seemed well-written, which is always a plus.
- New enemies? Yep, saw a few of those. Nothing too challenging, but I’m not exactly running endgame content, either.
- New loot? Oh yeah, got some shiny new gear. Not sure if it’s actually good yet, but it looks cool, at least.
I did run into a couple of minor bugs. Like, one time my character got stuck on a rock, and I had to use the “/stuck” command to get out. And another time, a quest marker didn’t show up properly, so I had to look up the quest online to figure out where to go. Annoying, but not game-breaking.
I am not going to test the new group content this time, maybe next time!
Overall, it was a pretty solid update. Nothing mind-blowing, but enough new stuff to keep me entertained for a while. I’ll probably keep playing for a few more weeks, at least, to see how the new zone’s story plays out. If you’re an ESO player, I’d say it’s worth checking out. Just don’t expect a completely different game or anything.
