I loot every shelf and desk and box and urn but ignore anything that probably has food in it. I turned a mission in and just as they were teleporting me away I looted a random urn and got the imperial motif.

I only loot food if I'm in or close to a town.

I probably get an unhealthy amount of joy from grabbing bits of food from crates and sacks as I make my way through a bandit lair, only to sit down and cook up a full meal after killing everyone.

G2A might still be running the special for the keys. I know as of last night it was going for just under $10. I only know of this cause I was watching someone stream last night and pulled it up on the stream. The version is for worldwide so no need to worry if EU or NA can use it.

Here's a little clip I recorded showing how my combat damage scrolls up to the left for outgoing and down to the right for incoming in semicircles using CombatCloud. We were talking about it pretty recently in guildchat.

How you do this? We need a serious non addon shitpost. There are so many option with the addons its overwhelming. My addons look like poo poo and I have stuff over lapping at this point. I like your loot addon that keeps it out of text chat and your CC looks awesome.

How legit is this? There's a Russian dude selling the imperial edition for less than $10 it looks like

What would be the best/most fun way for a group of 3 to level in this game? Just go into Cyrodiil at the earliest possible level and tool around there forever? I assume trying to do normal story things as a group of three will be really boring because you'll put everything in the trash.

What do you mean everything in the trash? You can have some pretty epic loots drop off any mob. For AOE grinding and stuff yea, go into a Delve and just murderize things if you want that kind of leveling.

I guess that was unclear, I meant put things in the trash as in every quest would be insanely easy with a group of three.

All the quests are insanely easy by yourself as long as you have a self heal. Kill a few dudes, maybe kill a named with 50,000hp every now and then. My Templar solo's everything with ease.

Do you mean how does he do this specific set up? or how do you do addons in general?
All of the addons have their own settings menu, some are more customize-able than others. There isn't a whole lot of consistency between how their settings work either. Most addons have a lock/unlock setting that will allow you to move their components around. When I get around to it, I will post all the addons I use with a brief write up of why I use them.

Sorry, what I meant to say was How did you set this up? My Addons look quite awful. I even found a really clean buff addon but I cant even get it to look decent. Just curious.

Pact goons still call Thornblade home, it's good for buffs and PvE content and occasionally some AD guilds guest in to wreck our poo poo.

Thornblade is recommended because it gives a bunch of PvE passive bonuses to damage and survivability while also 15% buff to experience gained, just for doing nothing. Usually during peak NA times there's back and forth over keeps in the middle, but mostly its good for the bonuses. Also Cyrodiil pve rewards are really good now. But it is definitely not required for anyone to home there.

Just used G2A for a key. It was $16 for the standard edition, but my key redeemed Imperial. Not sure if there is a difference anymore. Anyhow, recommended, because gently caress Steam and $80 bucks for Imperial edition.

Same here, I got the Imperial edition when I thought I was getting standard. :woop:
Once I finish this download (well, at least it isn't as bad as GTA was) I'll be in as @imizael1. Probably going ranged Nightblade because I always end up going stealth archer in ES games.

e: So what Alliance I choose matters? I see mentions of "Faction" in the OP but it isn't totally clear if Faction == Alliance and what goon guilds that are active are in what Alliance/Faction. This is confusing. I imagine it'll become more clear once I actually play.

The majority of us play as Ebonheart Pact. You can chat and be in guilds with other alliance members, but you can't group up and do any content together besides kill each other in Cyrodiil. There's some Daggerfall Covenant people as well, and I think one Aldmeri Dominion person.

Inventory slots, bank slots, respecs, horse upgrades, buying poo poo which adds up in price pretty quickly.

First, I tried Templar and hated it (granted, it was when I was still learning game basics so I'll eventually try it again). Then I tried Nightblade and it was alright. I next moved to Dragonknight, which is pretty cool. I tried Sorcerer last, and it's easily my favorite class and is now my highest level character. Sorc class best class. Breton race best race.
