Re: Need help with PvP

All my Tel Var stones were gone in the process of trying to complete the daily quest, in less than half an hour.

I can't really help with the PvP, because I'm not much good at it, but just in case you weren't aware of it, you can deposit your Tel Var in the bank so you don't lose it .

What you ...

Need help with PvP

I wanted to get more event tickets, so I decided to join the Midyear Mayhem event. I have now went to Cyrodiil and the Imperial City with two characters, with no prior PvP experience (save two duels). The problem is, it's not very fun. Especially Imperial City is just frustrating, even though I ...

Re: Post funny, stupid or weird glitches that happened to yo

I had a strange graphical glitch a few days ago. Namely, my character's jaw was skewed to one side (see picture). It looked even worse from the 3rd person view outside the menus. As I saw this when checking the inventory right after a fight, it amused me to think that her jaw had been dislocated and ...

Re: Impressions of ESO

As far as the environmental design, I love how much variety there is from zone to zone. There are swamps, deserts, forests, mountains, frozen tundras-- you name it!

I also love the ambient sounds of the environment, especially in certain zones. For instance, try going into Cyrodiil at night and ...

Guild store? (PC EU)

Please forgive me, if this is searchable in-game or by Google, but I can't seem to find the answer. The question is: Is there a guild store for the UESP guild on the PC EU server? If so, where are the traders? I'm looking for ways to make some real amounts of gold and guild stores seem to be one of ...

Re: Impressions of ESO

Well, it's time to make some additional remarks now that I have some dozens of hours of playtime under my belt. In general, I've warmed up to the game a lot more as compared to my initial impressions. For instance, the combat is has become much more enjoyable now that I've learned to use special ...

Well, how time flies! It's only yesterday that I finally bought ESO (the base game only at first, to see if I like it). I'm rather excited to try it out - although tired too, seeing how the download unexpectedly took half the night. I already have two ideas for characters: A Nord sword-and-board ...

Considering that they'll be pulling him out of a retirement home by the time they finally get him to work with this game, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Well, I don't rightly know if this was a glitch or what, but strange nonetheless. I was harvesting some mudcrab souls near Halted Stream Camp. It was broad daylight and sunny. When I was done killing two crabs, I realized an NPC was standing on the edge of the pond, watching me with her arms crossed ...

Is ESO worth trying for a solo player?

While waiting for Elder Scrolls VI to come out, I'm thinking of buying Elder Scrolls Online to get some new ES "fix". But there's one problem: I'm not that much into multiplayer. At one time I played Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory quite much and enjoyed it, but otherwise I've always preferred single ...

Re: General Mage skill priorities. Restoration vs Alchemy et

I think the choice between Restoration and Alchemy largely depends on if you are planning to play as a pure mage, or to wield a weapon too. If the latter, Alchemy is vastly preferable. That is because you don't need to swap either a weapon or a shield for a spell during combat so often. Also ...

Wouldn't it be grand of TES VI was an updated version of Morrowind's style? Like obviously Skyrim-esque combat, but an opening tutorial and questionnaire like in Daggerfall/Morrowind; picking a class, a birthsign, etc. That sounds grand, indeed. I like picking a class and birthsign. And ...

I'd guess it's High Rock, judging by the rocky terrain. Could also be mainland Morrowind, because of the jaggedness (and notice how they don't show the sea enough to see if Vvardenfell is there). Hard to guess, since there's so little vegetation.

Anyway, hot damn, am I excited! I hope the release ...
