>The More You Know
- If you're looking for RP, the most famous place is Riften -- but player housing has diminished this.
- You move slightly faster with your weapons sheathed. :^)
- Stablemasters still sell horses. The Crown Store isn't the ONLY source for mounts.

Subbing is totally optional, with its largest benefits being access to all DLC (but NOT "chapters," of which Morrowind is currently the only one), 1500 crowns (cash shop currency) upon sub start/renewal, and the Craft Bag, which is shared between all your characters on a megaserver and holds all crafting materials, potentially freeing up a lot of space.

>Which faction should I choose?
Daggerfall Covenant: Most generic-fantasy faction. Humans and Orcs. Forests, haunted crags, and desert. Literally everyone who plays loves the leader.
Aldmeri Dominion: Elves and cats. Forests, forests, grassland, and savannah. Leader just wants everyone to get along. Under her rule.
Ebonheart Pact: Variety. Drunken vikings, Dark Elves, and lizards. Snow, volcanoes, and swampland. Leader has fuck all to do with most of the story. Probably too busy drinking.

>How do I access the main quest after starting with Morrowind?
Once you finish the intro, you can teleport (or take a boat) to the mainland. Check your world map. When you're approached by a woman in robes, do what she says.

is this some weirdass meta-meme? i've seen this post like three times over the last year

i really can't decide between staying a tank or dps'ing

i'm like in this weird place where i want to DPS, but feel like i shouldn't due to necessity. i've been tanking in pretty much every mmo because of the ease of finding groups or queues. there are tons of DPS already too so it makes tanking even more appealing because of it

maybe i should just stop looking outside of tanking. i kinda wish there was a way to tank with 2H swords like blood DK in WoW. oh well!

get gold. while steam doesn't install twice, it does need double disk space because the launcher is retarded and assumes it will have to dl everything, but then it checks over your existing files and just downloads the latest patch. it differentiates between processing and downloading, and you'll note that it processes at your disk speed not your bandwidth. do set your antivirus to exclude your eso (possibly steam too) folder so it doesn't bog you down scanning while you're trying to install.

that URL format bothers me, and there was a single wave of g2a bans ever, and buying a 60 day eso+ timecard from kinguin while they were the price of a month worked fine for me. why not just list them as options instead of shoehorning that url in, and maybe trim the warnings, nothing bad happened in living memory.

also, buying direct from zenimax is possible and what I do prefer outside of that one-off purchase above, they usually match whatever discount is going on steam.

>tfw got a frostbane horse from the free crates
Only thing that could've made it better was if it was one of the radient apex mounts, I love these new apex mounts.

what is an execute

massive damage below x% health. a finisher.

like mages fury? Lol im too shit for that. Anything to replace it in the combo?

why? just stick to a group and killsteal with fury. it's not something you should unslot really.

How exactly are you too shit to use a skill?
It's the most brain dead skill in a mag sorc's arsenal. You also get a lot of kills with it like said.

you dont understand the power of feishas

Are random DCs and difficulty logging in a common thing in this game or is it just me for some reason?

And they almost always drop, when drop, from bonus crates.

>that URL format bothers me
post one of the URLs in a more aesthetically pleasing manner. Veeky Forums is picky. i used the format that had been used forever in the OP
>and there was a single wave of g2a bans ever, and buying a 60 day eso+ timecard from kinguin while they were the price of a month worked fine for me.
>nothing bad happened in living memory.
the fact that it happened at all just kind of puts me off. i mean, i had a friend of mine get hers through g2a, and she's fine, too, but i told her the same thing i wrote in the OP followup, just so she'd know. then i told her that i, personally, didn't think there was a threat of anything bad happening. and i checked kinguin's prices at the time, too. still. had she somehow been unlucky enough to get banned because of her source, i would have paid her back myself. i can't do that for anons.
>and maybe trim the warnings
being concise is actually not easy, for me. what would you say?
>why not just list them as options instead of shoehorning that url in
people, especially newcomers to a community, typically value "direct" URLs (they're just links to searches, but still)
>also, buying direct from zenimax is possible and what I do prefer outside of that one-off purchase above, they usually match whatever discount is going on steam.
the main site is listed. did you mean something else? or is that term not clear enough? any additions will take extra fucking around, currently, as the followup is like three characters away from limit, kek. for the longest time, it was exactly at it!

praising those watchful eyes, anons.

Are we back?
I've been so alone.

Alright nigs, I fucking hate both SPC and Worm Cult. They are so bitch ass boring. I want to use a set that actually has some sort of visible effect (like granting shields or summoning something or casting a heal on a target that actually looks cool).

I guess not using SPC will make everyone sperg out and is out of the question, so what can I replace Worm Cult with? I need something fun but that's still OK to run for vet trials

not anymore bb

Is stamplar any good for PvE DPS? Tanking? I don't want to end up cornholed into PvP.

nixads are best pets

Very good DPS. Most, if not all trial groups will want them for their utility in PoTL

dead game. dead thread

they're fucking adorable. especially if you read the book

Did I get this right.

There's only 2 (two) taunts in the game. Except for DK and sorcs who both got their own class taunts (chains and clannfear).

Attached: 1520970967086.jpg (373x520, 80K)

No class has a taunt

Technically four taunts. Sword and shield puncture plus morphs, undaunted inner fire, frost staff heavy attack, and the tormentor set which changes charge attacks into a taunt. There are no class taunt, but only DK and warden have a pull skill.

TIME FOR SUMMERSET

it's happening

TODAY
IS THE DAY
PRAISE THE QUEEN

>New chapter is announced
>TESOG still dead
sad

The grind to be able to have your build and be a crafter has put me on the brink of just dropping this fucking game. Retarded that I need to invest 90+ skill points just for the crafting shit and to get skill points is a fucking grind

if clannfear doesn't taunt, why does the skill advisor recommend you to skip the puncture and grab the clannfear?

Can't wait for an entire expansion of people sperging out about sjw altmer

Her Majesty the Queen Ayrenn Arana Aldmeri announces new Royal Crown Crates.

I think it'll be good. The DLC writing is always better than base game.

Because the announcement was fucking nothing, wake me up when they post an actual trailer next week. Or release the teaser quest.

I mean I like Ayrenn and the altmer in the base game but I just know this shithole is going to have a fit over it

Because the skill advisor is weird. The clannfear's taunt is weak, can only really focus on one enemy at a time, and is only really useful for solo play. Get puncture or a frost staff.

So. which of you autists will become Class Representative?

Or are you going to let reddit take all the spots?

explain what you mean by this

>templar tank with mending accs+weapon/shield
Y/N
I figure with ritual of retribution up this should be active all the time, and with the effect being centered on the caster it should also affect more enemies than if a healer used it, since healers should be standing where it's safe as opposed to tanks. Maybe couple it with lord warden, circle of protection, and knightmare.

>An announcement for an announcement for a teaser
This is retarded

whats the endgame like

the end of the rest of the game

this isn't "wow is the game" bullshit, my good man

but there are trials (read: "raids") and... challenge modes?

Those shoulders look bad, you're right, also the boots look like the metal doesn't match the rest of the look? Legs are cool looking but don't really fit the rest of the look at all... they're neat on their own but look out of place.

I don't know the motifs well yet, I only have the common ones so far. If I come up with any suggestions I'll post them when I do.

I don't like the Altmer or Ayrenn in the base game, and am hoping the expansion gives them more depth and goes into their lore more. They are shallow as fuck in the base game, and the problem is the writing. Maybe they can salvage AD for me.

They should really change the adviser to have categories like solo pve, group pve, solo pvp, group pvp.

I've got to admit I got a little triggered for a moment there. 9.5/10
