Hey guys, welcome back to more of your Wheneverly Shot of Whatever, and today I will be discussing a game I've been obsessed with recently, Elder Scrolls Online. It's a game I've had for a while but I never really got too into it, except for over the past few weeks. Oh my god, it's so addictive, I love it. I've gone from level 9 to level 44 in 2 weeks, that is how much I love it. And I only recently discovered Psijiic Ambrosia, so I'll be leveling up even quicker, my aim is level 50 by the of the week (probably going to get even higher, I just set that as my goal). If you're a fan of the Elder Scrolls series, by Bethesda, you should already own this game, but if you don't get it because it's just awesome as hell. It's a similar kind of thing to World of Warcraft in the fact that it's an online fantasy based game with a leveling system, dungeons, and weird races, but in every other aspect it's very different. I love the main solo story arc to it, and I love all the different quests. I love exploring Coldharbour with it's creepy beauty, and Auridion with it's beautiful greenery and weird colored trees.
I own a guild, The Silver Moon Clan, with 50+ members, and I love it. We manage to get a high level guild trader weekly, plenty of rare and awesome shit, and just generally do pretty well. I'm a part of the Daggerfall Convenant on my main character, and the first thing I thought was 'Holy shit, daggerfall is depressing.' I love it now though, it's nice to return to a starter town I know like the back of my own hand. I know the best pickpocketing spots, where the bank is, the blacksmith, the alchemist, everything. So after travelling miles around Tamriel or Coldharbour or wherever, it's nice to go back to a place where I can one hit kill every annoying little turd of an NPC. Haven't gotten rid of fucking Lyris yet though. I will soon, don't worry. We can all rest easier when she's gone.
I haven't really explored Cyrodiil yet because every time I enter it, I get my ass kicked, so uhm, I'll put that off until I'm a higher level. For now I'll stick to my grinding, dungeon spamming, noobish ways. So, if you see me in a dungeon, blow me a kiss boo. RarityBloodFire. Wink.
About how the game is in itself though, I think it's pretty good. The graphics are up to Bethesda's usual standard which are pretty good for giant open world games, I rarely ever experience lag and when I do, it's normally my internet rather than the actual game. For the most of it, the voice acting is pretty good, the only thing I can comment on is the names of some of the NPC's, like I know if you're putting in a shit ton of NPCs it's kinda difficult to think of indivual names, but like, Guild Master Sees-All-Colours? Really? Sees-All-Colours? Just why? Like did you have a list, get bored of it, smoke it, and then name her what you saw? I'm not trying to be rude, I love Bethesda and it's one of my favorite gaming companies, and I hope to get the degrees to work for them one day, it's just that name just made me piss myself laughing. It's like the first time I saw the Macho Man Randy Savage dragons in Skyrim, or the Buzz Lightyear Paladin Danse memes, or when I saw how stupid Anita Sarkeesian is. It's just fucking hilarious.
My overall view of the game though, is generally a positive one and I love it, much like most other Bethesda games, it has a special place is my heart as one of my favorites, and I hope to progress further in it in the future. Oh, one last thing, my goat is better than your goat, ok? Now that we've got that cleared up, bye guys! Thanks for reading and come back for more whenever, because we upload whenever!
