Great to hear. Im over my MMO grinding days, but ESO is still fun to hop in an for an hour and do some quests.
How is it solo?
Been considering an mmo but would want one that's possible solo. Realize that's counterintuitive but was curious.
Thats the main way I play tbh.
The voice acting is nice, but I won't lie questing is a bit shallower than with Skyrim. Lots of collectables, horizontal progression. Its a nice package!
It has options for group dungeons and I quite enjoyed the PvP for when you get that multiplayer itch.
Also world chat keeps things interesting lmao.
Nice. Might give it a go.
What's your favorite class?
I like to heal and have a pet to help with soloing, so Warden is my main, but that's another thing I really really like about the progression is that all classes can tank, heal, or DPS with so many different abilities based on the weapons you use.
Obviously there's more meta picks, like a Templar was for tanking (might be out of meta by now), etc. But for real, the systems are very accomodating to build variety IMO (again people will probably disagree, but im not playing the game hardcore. Just for funzies)
Ended up getting it and playing an arcanist. Pretty fun so far, thanks for responses
I would say that ESO is probably one of the best MMO solo games out there. You can even play the game as an actual Bethesda Elder Scrolls game, to some extend.
Every modern MMO is pretty much solo with people around. I'd say this is especially true for ESO. There's essentially no reason to socialize from what I recall, but I never made it to end-game. I prefer the FFXIV design where you can play solo if you want, but there's also reasons to socialize if you want to. It's much more interesting to hang out in. In ESO, from what I remember, I never felt like hanging out and only played to complete content.
