I'm rather enjoying the last two chapters ("Greymoor" and "Blackwood"). Just wondering if anyone else plays...

Love the world of Tamriel, hate MMO games. So no, not for me. I still play Skyrim and even Morrowind occasionally though.

I do as well. I don't mind MMOs if they are good or play more like single player RPGs (which I believe ESO does).

I'd love to play Morrowind, but I couldn't get it to run on my computer. Apparently there are mods you have to use to get it to do that.

Yes it's easy to mod Morrowind though, or even install openMW. OpenMW is an open source update of the engine that makes the performance better and lets you play on almost any computer. I have modded Morrowind to the point where it's almost unrecognizable lol.

So playing ESO is pretty easy to play solo in? Do you get bugged by other players to join them and things like that?

No. I don't get bombarded by invites. It's a bit more casual than, say, WoW. There is random grouping features to help solo players find groups for group dungeons. Raids, or "trials" as they are called, require organization typical of a guild. My big thing with ESO is actually the crafting and housing systems. I hunt for furnishing patterns, buy houses, and then build the furniture and decorate the houses.

Here is a video of one of what someone did with one of the base starter homes in the game. It's Autumn's Gate in the Rift.

I might give it a try. I've just finished a long run of Assassin's Creed (origins and odyssey) followed by Horizon:Zero Dawn and the recent Tomb Raider trilogy, so I'm keen for another big open world to explore, rather than replay something old.

Zenimax Online Studios just made this intro/promo video for the game that explains lots of mechanics found within...




And a player recently gave a pretty thorough review of the game after playing for 1000 hours...

There are a lot of Elder Scrolls lore videos on YouTube as well... like this one from Shoddycast (from back in 2013) about the Bosmer/Wood Elves of Valenwood. I like this one because it touches on what makes the Elder Scrolls Wood Elves different from most other Tolkien-derived "nature people" in fantasy fiction...

Instead of buying this on sale last weekend I picked up Assassin's Creed Valhalla (also on sale), so looks like I will be doing that instead for now. I will reinstall Morrowind and 200 mods if I get an Elder Scrolls itch I think.

I couldn't get Morrowind to even work on my PC after buying it on Steam 6 years ago.

Works fine for me, and I practically destroy the game with mods for everything. Have you tried Openmorrowind? It's an open source version of the game engine (you need to have the original game files to use it), and it is much more stable than the original for people. I haven't used it other than to try it out once, because the original has been working for me.
