Been playing this for the last few years. Helped me get through lockdown!

It’s been around for long enough that there is absolutely loads of content. I love that there are several different ways to play, too. I love housing and decorating, but there’s casual questing, end game content, PVP, crafting… It’s fun!

I don’t know if we’re permitted to post links that that here, so I won’t. But if you go to the Epic Games store, it’s free through 27 July.

Happy questing!

    My girlfriend and I played through the quest line of where we started in Morrowind (I think?) and had a blast, but once we left we were totally lost! I was really engrossed with the story but all of a sudden we’re just doing something completely different. I was quite disappointed and it left me wondering if we had done something wrong or out of order.

      Yeah, the zone quests vs. the main quest are not explained very well. I started just after Elsweyr came out and was trying to play through the main quest at the same time I did the zone quest. I didn’t understand why some of the characters showed up in both with different, ah, statuses, shall we say?

      Probably the easiest thing to do for continuity is to play through the quests for your faction. They will lead you to the next logical zone. With Morrowind / Vvardenfell, it’s a DLC so it’s a bit outside the main continuity lines. DLC’s can be done at any time, though with some recurring characters, it can be fun to do them after doing the main quests. You’ll sometimes get unique dialogue as the NPC’s acknowledge your previous adventures with them. Release order of the DLC’s is one option. However, the skills you get from the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood quests can be really helpful, so it’s OK to take a detour and pick those up early on (and they don’t cross over with the main quest).

      Some lovely person wrote up a nice guide on the forums about which order to quest in for every faction: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/525351/a-clear-step-by-step-guide-to-playing-eso-in-chronological-order.
