What is ESO? The Elder Scrolls Online takes place in the well-known universe of the Elder Scrolls series. However, in the MMORPG, you experience the quests and the story not alone, but together with friends. You explore a large part of the continent Tamriel, where many adventures await you.
Although ESO is actually designed as a multiplayer game, you can also progress well alone. The story can also be mastered alone.
An interesting aspect of The Elder Scrolls Online is that your actions truly affect the world. For instance, an NPC may die. Due to phasing technology, players who made the same decision as you see these changes.
ESO is a typical theme park MMORPG, where quests, story, item gathering, hero development, and exploring the game world are at the forefront. You can experience PvP in special zones. With the Elsweyr expansion, a new area will be added this summer, where you will also experience a new story.
So many players does The Elder Scrolls Online have on Steam: The Elder Scrolls Online had an average of 16,000 players online in the last 30 days. During peak times, there were 26,151 concurrent players.
This is what players think: The Elder Scrolls Online is currently one of the most popular theme park MMORPGs. The scope, exciting quests, and the possibility to play alone appeal to many online role players. However, there is also some criticism, such as towards the combat system, which some find monotonous and certain quests feel repetitive.
- JTKeller humorously says on Steam: “Don’t play this game if you want to do anything else or spend time outside and with your family.”
- Poisoned Venom thinks: “It is certainly the best MMORPG that can be played alone.”
