TESO: Elsweyr is, in my opinion, a complete DLC, incorporating hours and hours of missions into the main story, various ways to level up our new class (Necromancer) and the opportunity to fight giant dragons with our Guild partners and friends.

Elsweyr is not just another expansion, it's another step in Bethesda's commitment to the player who opted for TESO

I have a love/hate relationship with RPGs, I’m a huge procrastinator so I really lose myself in these types of games, often being distracted from the main quest, by side quests, exploration and collections. The amount of quests and things to do with just the base game/chapters is in my opinion great value for money and with the option to subscribe to ESO Plus for £8.99 a month, giving you access to all of the current dlcs and access to a (I feel essential) handy crafting pack with unlimited space for crafting materials. This is a game with the potential to sink many hours into, with much more to come. As a new player, I find it hard to find much I don’t like with the game, except possibly that it’s too big?! and award it the Thumb Culture Gold Award!

Just like any expansion or any MMO, you’re going to want to go into The Elder Scrolls: Elsweyr expecting only the best. Truth is, this is an amazing expansion and its story involving the Necromancers themselves is quite a unique experience, one I’d not really been hoping to have when I first dove straight on in with a Necromancer myself.

The Elder Scrolls Elsweyr comes with an solid story about dragons and the cat-like Khajiit. It also convinces with its intense atmosphere and a diversified setting with forests, hills and hidden temples. The new necromancer-class completes the expansion, that should make every ESO-fan very happy.

You will surely enjoy it if you are an ESO fan. The new class necromancer and dragon will keep you busy for a while.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr follows the good path taken by its previous expansions, Morrowind and Summerset, perhaps one step behind them, but more for reasons of geographical design that is less striking and more repetitive, than for content, which has It was a success with its necromancer class, its possibility of being an initial zone, and especially the dragons, which were highly demanded by the players.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr does a great job of delivering a compelling new culture, has an engaging storyline, plus plenty of hours of content. The problem is that half of this content can be somewhat tedious to complete, even if the story they tell us is entertaining. The presence of dragons is not relevant enough and is the main claim of the game

Elder Scrolls Online Elsweyr is the best expansion for the MMO yet. The new zone is beautiful, the Necromancer class is excellent and the story is engaging. Although the story does take some notes from other popular media.

If you ever wished you could play a necromancer, battle dragons and date a Khajiit, or, why not, all three, Elsweyr delivers on that and then some. Just don't give up because of the flavorless storyline.

Just like Elsweyr. If you’re still salty about not getting an online Skyrim; get over yourself. Elsweyr is great and if you don’t agree you’ve probably spent the last month with your face in a massive pile of moon sugar, like Tony Montana at the end of Scarface.

At this point the formula is beginning to show, but the sense of discovery still remains one of the game's most alluring aspects.

There is a lot to like about The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr. Returning players have a myriad of things to do, with existing players having just as much and a trial to look forward to. Even if the Necromancer class is not the straight pet class some players were hoping, it's fun in its own way and offers further variety during set up or push a more offensive line up. Toss in a fresh location and dragons to overcome and it's a nice step forward.

The Elsweyr chapter expansion continues the year-long Season of the Dragon event for The Elder Scrolls Online. The developers have outdone themselves once more and somehow managed to make an already fantastic MMO all the more awesome. The expansion whisks players away to the homeland of the Khajiit. Players must face the dragon threat looming over Elsweyr, though you do not possess the power some players may be used to if they played Skyrim. You are not the Dragonborn, and these dragons are no laughing matter. Players may make use of the new class, the Necromancer, to aid themselves in the fight to save Elsewyr.
