The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor is another high-quality expansion adding a much-loved area to the epic online game. It’s so easy to get side-tracked and end up on another mission to the far corners of the massive continent of Tamrial. New players, stepping into the game now, are confronted with quest givers on every corner. The shear volume of content available in ESO can be a little overwhelming. There are, however a massive combination of weapons, both melee and bows, as well as magic to make a unique character with a unique style. The expansion also includes a new vampire skill line for players to master.īeing an MMO, the combat is not as refined as the single-player games, being a bit more of a button mashing exercise that carefully timed strikes. Players can now excavate ancient sites and learn more about the history of Tamriel. This allows players to become ESO’s answer to Indiana Jones. The tutorial not only explains the game mechanics, but also sets-up the vampire theme of the Greymoor expansion.Īs well as the additional region and quests, the expansion adds a new antiquities system. In keeping with Elder Scrolls tradition, the player’s character is imprisoned and must escape with the help of the friendly vampire, Fennorian. New players, or players starting a new character, will get to experience a new tutorial mission as the game starts. A dying man with a message that needs to be delivered to the king. The emergence of a vampire lord threatens Tamriel sending players on a supernatural adventure across the northern region.Įxisting players will find the quest giver just outside Solitude. The adventure started with the Harrowstorm DLC game pack.
This is the narrative adventure that forms the core of the Greymoor expansion. From the incredible city of Solitude to the Fortress town of Whiterun, it’s a region packed with adventure.Īs with all the other regions, West Skyrim has its own regional quest line. The icy land of Skyrim is a wonder to explore and packed with quests for players to enjoy solo or with friends. Yep, this Skyrim tragic has played the game on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC, Switch, PSVR, Vive VR and even on Amazon Echo. I can’t say that Greymoor was really my return to Skyrim, as I’ve not actually stopped playing The Elder Scrolls V in the eight years that it has been out. These subterranean areas include villages, mines and dwarven ruins. The expansion also includes the vast underground complex of Blackreach. Greymoor expands the game to include West Skyrim, an area that will be very familiar to players of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.ĮSO is set a thousand years before Skyrim, so players have the opportunity to revisit locations from the acclaimed single-player game to see what they looked like a in the past. The above makes The Elder Scrolls Online a great way to enter the world of MMOs without the monthly investment, especially if you are only a casual player.ĮSO is already a massive game with hundreds and hundreds of hours of content across a huge continent.
