Sub for any gaming related content!
Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

The irony is that this post deliberately doesn't mention the company and one would never find out save for following the link lol Having said that, I must ask, is the spam in the room with us right now?
no thanks, I value my time too much
Dw, it's only for those who want it, you're good
Dude comes to a gaming community and announces his time is too valuable to play games.
I'm assuming it was a jab of how much time you can sink in this game, which is %100 true
This game is amazing and I highly recommend to play it. Its community is great too.
The games is wonderful, however it must be noted that this promotion is for the Epic Games Store, not the game’s own launcher or steam.
How does this game compares with other Elder Scroll games? Is it grindy?
I doesn't play the same at all. It's way more MMO than Skyrim-like. I don't think it's bad, but I couldn't get into the mechanics.
Exploration is kind of comparable though.
I personally bounced off of it as a fan of the main line Elder Scrolls games. That does, however, come with the caveat that I have no interest in gaming with strangers and don't particularly get along with the cool downs-based combat and incremental optimisation of gear, so large components of the game were falling flat for me from the start. I tried it out for two reasons - being able to play an Elder Scrolls game with my girlfriend, who was also a fan of the series, and because I enjoy the Elder Scrolls setting and liked the idea of seeing parts of it that have gotten no real attention since Arena. The first part of this, yeah, it did great! I was able to just play with the one person I wanted to play with, and there was plenty to do without joining any big parties. The second part let me down; the world is fantastic, but it really lacks the incidental points of interest and unexpected discoveries that make exploring fun (for me) in the main games.
I didn't feel like I was forced in to grinding to do what I wanted, and I was able to complete almost everything in Elsweyr by just doing the quests that interested me as they became available. The monetisation and pressure to log in every day irritated me, though. Both are relatively mild, as I understand it, but I'm coming from a background of being used to games with none of either.
That's strange, it's not showing as an upcoming free game in the UK. Disappointing 😞
ESO isn't even on the EGS in Canada.
Oh, has it been removed for everyone?
