Video Games The Elder Scrolls Online worth trying?

I didn't realize it was free on Xbox. Was watching someone play Oblivion remastered. Looked fun. Never played anything from the series. I know this one is from 2014 but still seems active.

I’ve only heard good things about Oblivion and Skyrim personally.

ESO is an MMO set in Elder Scrolls universe, so it's not really like the others.

I would recommend:

- Oblivion Remastered
- Skyrim

The community swears by Morrowind but the original engine is essentially unplayable (and no one will admit that). There is a total conversion mod for original Oblivion (Morroblivion) that MIGHT work with Remastered - basically drops the original game in Oblivion's engine so it plays like Oblivion (with the graphical quality). It's quite good.

The same team is working on Skywind (Morrowind in Skyrim); not sure where that's up to. They're extremely close to releasing Skyblivion (which will be functionally different to Oblivion Remastered).

I'd honestly get it on PC, but if X Box is your only option, get Oblivion Remastered and/or Skyrim

In terms of the immediate question, I played ESO a little bit once several years ago. I didn't hate it, and had every intention of opening it again... but it never happened.

I know it isn't the same experience but I want to be able to play with Jay, aren't the main series games single player?

I am installing it to take a look at it. Saying 4 hours for the wait time tho

Looks like I won't be able to play as a warden because it isn't included in the base game...

@Giga Hertz what would you recommend in terms of race and class?

I was watching videos and it seems like everyone has a different opinion on which is best lol

 

[Giga Hertz]

For ESO I have no opinions because I haven't touched it in like 8 years.

For all the others... I go with whatever is interesting. Often human, but also often whatever has the best stealth and/or archery stats (since I prefer to play that way).

Humans usually have the most positive dialogue interactions with NPCs (but that's less important than, say, BG3 where you might forever be locked out of a game route or problem solving option)

I have no clue what I am doing already
