I wasn't quite sure how to interpret this from the context of the following posts - was Magicka DK in a really great place, and now just in a reasonably balanced place?

Are they still reasonable for a newbie to use as a first character?

MagickaDK has been in a poo poo spot since launch, when it was a walking god (ask me about tanking 30 people on a DC vampireDK). Pubbies complained, zenimax listened, and DKs got nerfed to the ground. We're only just starting to get back up to where we are supposed to be (aka a walking god).

I kinda wish I had fond Morrowind memories so I could share in the enthusiasm, but I'm pretty psyched for a new class and huge new region regardless.

Now is the perfect time to try it with OpenMW nearly complete and you can download Tamriel Rebuilt and get several hundred hours worth of content out of it. I wouldn't be surprised if they get multiplayer fully functioning by May (the 15th anniversary)

Trust me, it isn't just nostalgia/rose tinted glasses, Kirkbride is the only reason why TES is interesting setting/story-wise .

Is the Redguard with the bear a Warden? Are pet bears gonna be a thing now?

I don't like mmo's where I can't have a wolf or a bear as a pet.

Warden class will deal with Nature Magic, Frost Magic, and Animal Companions. You can summon cliff racers, and the War Bear is the Animal line Ultimate.

It's a partial summon, like the Storm Atronach summon Ultimate from Sorcerer's Daedric Summoning line.

LotRO is the only other MMO I ever really got into, and I'd say ESO is strictly better, though it doesn't have neat little touches like LotRO's music system. I'm really enjoying the game world even though I knew very little of the series lore before playing ESO.

The combat is less mindless/clicky than LotRO, feels tighter than what little I played of the main Elder Scrolls series, and I think it plays best with a gamepad. It felt insantly intuitive to me because I'd played Dark Souls, and overall feels like a much more lenient version of that.

Do you mind action combat? Do you mind voice acting? Are you a fan of three faction Realm v Realm v Realm PVP? Most importantly, do you enjoy Bethesda open world games? I hated this game in beta, thought it'd fail within six months but it is now the only themepark MMO I've ever enjoyed outside of Everquest.

This is the most enjoyable Elder Scrolls game since Morrowind so I'd give it a chance. You can get a cheap key of the base version here

Visually? Absolutely.

Stats? Well, there's only three main stats. HP, Mana, Stamina. There's a whole bunch of other stuff like Regen, cost reduction, crit, etc, but that's kinda extra on top of the main three.

Not only is there a shitload of styles of armor/weapons, they're all dyeable.

There are a lot of different style motifs, and a ton of different equipment sets that are both loot and craftable. I'm actually surprised by how easy it is to get great equipment just by doing stuff you want to do, and all equipment drops scale to your level. Hell, I could go back to the starting areas and get the full Training equipment set, and that could still be good endgame equipment for a tank build.

Yes. The only thing you can't do with that key is any DLC that's not included (not sure if that's the Gold Edition or not).

the only DLC that you wouldn't have access to with ESO Gold are the two dungeons and the Morrowind expansion. Losing out on the crafting bag kinda sucks but you can learn to live without it.

People on the Steam forums say you can. Others say you can't. I haven't done it though. Worst case scenario, you might have to get the glory DLC pack on the crown store for 5500 crowns (you can get 3000 crowns for $17-$18)

I can afford forty bucks, and I can afford it easily. But I've already paid for it. "All future content" was the promise made at the B2P transition.

I have, time and again, defended ZOS on this forum against the accusation of "deceptive business practice." (At least I did before Crown Crates.) More the fool, I, for a contract has been broken, and an unambiguously deceptive business practice is upon us.
