Me and my companion Tanlorian in Apocrypha
What makes this one of my favorite MMOs?
I log into this game and nothing else matters. After a long day at work, I am
transported to a beautiful open world and explore to my heart's content. No direction, no prompting,
just
run in any direction and I will find someone, something or someone will find me, then I am off on a
quest.
I cannot emphasize how much I love the voice acting. Every NPC has a voice, which is one of the
first
QOL
aspects that stood out to me. So many loveable and silly characters made even more so because the
voice
acting keeps the immersion. The quests and lore are interesting enough for me to listen to their
entire dialogue and take my time. They are well thought out which is a saving
grace for quests that would otherwise feel like they drag on and on.
After a long day of deadlines and being told what to do at work, Elder Scrolls Online progresses at
the
pace that YOU want and there are soo many opportunities to XP boost as well ! Some days I soley go
on
quests, fast traveling as much as possible. Other times I mount up or go on foot and take the scenic
route. It's cathartic listening to the music, harvesting, and finding areas of interest in between
quest
locations. I also love the different cultures and architecture.
If I want more hardcore gameplay I simply find world bosses and instanced or public dungeons. Now if
I am REALLY looking for punishment, I head over to the Undaunted Enclave and enter higher difficulty
dungeons that I may or may not finish or the infinite Archives where I fight my way through stages
to
see how far
I can go until the final boss. Back when I was in a guild, I also went to Trials which are the most
difficult dungeons for veteran players that took hours to beat with the 12 of us. I miss
those
days but guild activities eat up so much time, so now I am a casual player.
Without rambling too much longer I can be a crafter, scryer, steal/pick pocket (and face the
consequences but also level up skills lol), hunt for treasure, go on home tours,
specialize in one or many
builds, weapons, and skill lines (you are not locked in like other games). Play PVP, decorate my
avatar/companion, decorate my house. If I am
playing with
someone else,
I can decorate THEIR house. If playing with friends, we can all specialize in a craft and help each
other
upgrade items and/or focus on having a balanced group of tanks, dps, and healers. Pick a play style
and
just
run with it or make multiple characters to specialize even further. I still haven't gotten into all
the
features in the game !
Do anything, be anything. No worrying about pay to win. I will say there ARE loot boxes but there is
no
pressure to pull. I often forget they even exist because the game on its own is enough. I rarely get
bored and have never felt like I am falling behind.

My first recall (teleportation animation). Three events. Months of questing and patiently waiting, and we are finally here. I have been plotting to get the Roseblood Bat Recall since the Doomchar Plateau hunt, and finally aquired it during the Jester Festival 2026.
Sanguine's Goodbye Kiss was the last item to complete the fragments. The $1,000 items below were the others I bought during previous events to also combine into the components I needed for the recall.
My beautiful bat children are finally home.
Screaming, crying, and throwing up!
I was visiting player homes, came across the "Doomchar
Plateau" and immediately fell in love. I HAD to know the next time it would
enter
the in game store, so I could purchase it !
After finding the answer, I fell to my knees and screamed in agony when I realized I could only
obtain
it during specfic event periods using event tickets to purchase each component of the house. Great
timing because my chance was approaching.
The New Life Festival event went smoothly. Completed quests and cashed in tickets for event items, then
saved up
tickets near the end for the house components.
The following event was based in the PVP Zones Cyrodiil and Imperial City. I almost didn't
participate
as I am not fond of fighting other players, but that house was CALLING to me !
It ended up being fun though! (yet still iritating). We took over a few
towns in Cyrodiil and districts in Imperial City and I scored a good amount of crystals (currency).
I
wish I recorded a video of the fights! All I can say is: I HATE YOU ALDMERI DOMINION.
Our last PVP outing was actually great. "Don't start none, won't be none" was motto
of
the day because we ran
past players from other Alliances and we ALL minded our business. Then we hopped out for the moment
I
was waiting for:
All that grinding, finally paid off.
