Overall, ‘Greymoor’ tells a good enough story that could have been great. Every zone and every story is self-contained, which makes it highly accessible. Thanks to how ESO is a fully scaled MMO, meaning all of the content scales to your level and there are no minimum level requirements outside of end-game content and proper group dungeon queues, you could jump right into ESO as a new player and focus exclusively on ‘Greymoor’ if you wanted. Witches from the Icereach Coven and dangerously powerful vampire lords have begun summoning massive, swirling harrowstorms that wreak havoc on villages and disfigure people by inflicting them with a horrible curse that transforms them into monstrosities known as the harrowfiends.
#THE ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE GREYMOOR SERIES#
In ‘Greymoor’, you’re tasked with venturing to the capital of Skyrim, the city of Solitude, to investigate a series of peculiar disturbances throughout the region. It felt like a cultural milestone, an event people would remember for the rest of their lives.įast forward nearly nine years later and Skyrim is once again at the forefront of a Bethesda-published game, except this time it’s for Zenimax Online Studio’s massively popular MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online ( ESO) with the release of the fourth major content expansion: ‘Greymoor’. I’d gone to midnight launches on Thursday nights at GameStop before, but never one like this. I was attending university at the time and called in sick to my on-campus job the following morning and skipped all of my classes that day. Fans of the RPG who haven’t experienced the rest of what the magical and dangerous land of Tamriel has to offer would do well to check out the MMO’s take on the regions of Morrowind, Cyrodiil, and - a personal favorite - Deshaan.When The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim originally released back on Friday, Novem(11/11/11) it was a monumental day for me. You have to admire ESO‘s commitment to the other regions of Tamriel after the massive success the franchise had with its Skyrim installment. New cooperative world events will see players working together “to quell the magical Harrowstorms terrorizing the land.” A new “Antiquities” system will send adventurers across Tamriel on a search for artifacts that will “uncover the world’s hidden history and unlock powerful and fun rewards for all types of players.” Sounds a bit like a very long fetch quest to us, if that’s what you’re into. Players will also have to venture into Blackreach cavern - a familiar location from Skyrim - “to fight sinister monsters while unlocking the secret of the Dark Heart of Skyrim.”īethesda promises a 30-hour main quest as well as new side quests, public dungeons, and plenty to explore in Greymoor. Bethesda teases that under those mysterious vampiric rules, Skyrim has become a dark land of vampires, werewolves, and witches. The story is set 900 years before the events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and fans of the RPG should expect a very different version of the great white north than they’re used to. Greymoor is part of a year-long “interconnected adventure” called The Dark Heart of Skyrim. While the region has appeared in the MMO before, the new chapter, titled Greymoor, fully unlocks the western part of Skyrim, which is under the rule of a vampire lord that players will likely have to defeat during their quest.
The Elder Scrolls Online‘s next big chapter takes players back to one of Tamriel’s most beloved regions: Skyrim.
