Probably part of the run up to the announcement and release of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. In any case, I'm happy to spread the word because a free version of Dragon Age: Origins in the same year DAI was released is how I found the franchise.

For the last several months I reduced my news intake and unfollowed a lot of stress-inducing accounts on social media. I have been happier and more relaxed. Can recommend.

This isn't funny. This is awful.

OK, nice photo, but DID YOU BOOP THE SNOOT?

I'm sorry to hear you experienced that. I speak out when I see the R word in use like that. Most of the time I get laughed at, sneered at, downvoted, even kicked out of a gaming guild once. Many NT folks don't understand the harm that using a word like that does. I imagine, just like women who go to bat for patriarchy, there are ND folks who haven't figured it out, either. In any case, you're not alone. I'm glad you called it out, even if you were unable to get the name banned or changed. The act of speaking up still matters.

Maybe they did, just not the right lesson.

What a lovely bot!

If you subscribe and get ESO+, you get '...Access to all DLC game packs available in the Crown Store for the duration of membership'. That does not include the latest chapter; right now that's Necrom. There's a new one each year, so you'll be able to play Necrom next year with a membership if you don't want to buy it outright.

They do a good job of making the membership very appealing, I have to say. Increased bank space, double the slots for furnishings in your houses, and a bottomless crafting bag, for ex. But they are not obnoxious about it like, say, Neverwinter Nights is.

Yeah, the zone quests vs. the main quest are not explained very well. I started just after Elsweyr came out and was trying to play through the main quest at the same time I did the zone quest. I didn't understand why some of the characters showed up in both with different, ah, statuses, shall we say?

Probably the easiest thing to do for continuity is to play through the quests for your faction. They will lead you to the next logical zone. With Morrowind / Vvardenfell, it's a DLC so it's a bit outside the main continuity lines. DLC's can be done at any time, though with some recurring characters, it can be fun to do them after doing the main quests. You'll sometimes get unique dialogue as the NPC's acknowledge your previous adventures with them. Release order of the DLC's is one option. However, the skills you get from the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood quests can be really helpful, so it's OK to take a detour and pick those up early on (and they don't cross over with the main quest).

Some lovely person wrote up a nice guide on the forums about which order to quest in for every faction: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/525351/a-clear-step-by-step-guide-to-playing-eso-in-chronological-order.

I consider this a selling point!

Been playing this for the last few years. Helped me get through lockdown!

It's been around for long enough that there is absolutely loads of content. I love that there are several different ways to play, too. I love housing and decorating, but there's casual questing, end game content, PVP, crafting... It's fun!

I don't know if we're permitted to post links that that here, so I won't. But if you go to the Epic Games store, it's free through 27 July.

Happy questing!

Maybe the front page of the domain could be news and info with the actual forums down a level? Not sure if that works with the software.

The Mass Effect and Dragon Age games. I love me some Jennifer Hale as Commander Shepard.
