      That’s literally the only reason I keep EGS around, because of the weekly free games.

      You can access the games through Heroic Launcher or Legendary, no need to use Tim Sweeney’s shitty bloatware

        That’s good to know! It does feel slower than Steam for some reason, so I may be jumping ship is I can

          It takes more data to load basically any page except the store where it’s about equal, that’s probably the difference you’re feeling.

    It’s an MMO, and it plays like one. I remember loving it when I first started, but that’s because there’s lots of easy missions to keep you progressing and entertained. Eventually the quests become fewer, and more difficult, thus starting the grind for better gear and xp. This is where my interest waned.

      No. The base game typically costs a one time fee and then you can play most of the zones and all quests within. All endgame stuff. No level restriction.

      You can buy a few extensions for a one time price to get new zones (with full stories etc).

      And you can subscribe monthly for unlimited crafting storage and a few other perks (double bank space, double customization slots in houses, etc).

        Worth to mention that while you’re subscribed to ESO+, you also have access to the DLCs and don’t have to buy them separately.

          Yes, BUT, the DLCs are only small parts of the chapters (the large new zones). So you can’t completely circumvent the chapters with ESO+ alone.

      There’s an optional subscription that includes all the DLC and makes crafting materials not consume inventory space. Crafting is really difficult without the sub, but the rest of the game is approachable without it.

    That’s strange, it’s not showing as an upcoming free game in the UK. Disappointing 😞

    This game is amazing and I highly recommend to play it. Its community is great too.

      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?
