Rather tempted to pick this up in the steam sale. Is this an MMO where you need to reach max level to experience the 'meat' of the game or is there alot to do from the get go?

You can even be an ultranerd and plan a "story arc" of zones and quests to fit with your character. Since everything scales to your level you can go wherever whenever and keep progressing.

So is there a way to earn transmute crystals that isn't painfully slow? I've done 3 HM pledges and I've gotten a whopping 1 crystal each time. Did I just have really bad RNG luck, or did they really make it take like 2-3 weeks of doing pledges to earn enough for a single transmute?

Usually I get 2-3 for vet pledges, not sure if HM has something to do with it as well, I've got 2 and 3 for hardmode.

You get 5 from coffers when you complete a trial. Coffers reset after 7 days and if you hang out in Craglorn there is almost always pug's for nAA, nSO, and nHRC.

Finished the Orsinium main quest and i have to say I'm impressed, really good little adventure. Definitely a bit more compelling than the tepid main quest has been so far.

No. Part of it is a consequence of being designed before One Tamriel. They had to make the questline fit into three separate factions and zones with level ranges, so the resulting questline revolves around teleporting to disconnected places. (The Fighter's Guild and Mages Guild questlines also do this.) One Tamriel makes this obsolete since all factions can go everywhere at any level. Now if they want to make new content, they can send all players to one location.

Then again, all I can think about when doing parts of the main quest is that the Prophet is voiced by the same guy who played Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies. I keep expecting him to teleport me to Azkaban or tell me to craft a Sorting Hat for the Mages Guild.

Comrade Koba posted:Well, that's disappointing. Oh that's why that voice was so familiar! I enjoy the game very much so far, still hopping between Nightblade and Sorc because both are fun but I'll focus more on the mage now since I've reached daggerfall. I was going to complain that the clothes/armor kinda look crappy but that seems to be only early on as I saw later sets and they look seriously cool. If anything I can just spend  and get the dremora mage appearance thingy - or 5000 poisons.

There are some near costumes you can get through gameplay. And then disguises too which go into your actual inventory.

Basically all the classes can kind of do any of the roles but you're going to want to decide whether you want to hit things with weapons (stamina) or with spells (magicka), and put all your points from leveling up in either of those pools. Respecs are cheap though and you'll want to level up everything anyways as you're going up to 50. PvE story content all scales up with your level so you can kind of just wander around as you see fit

Playing my fiancee's warden to try to get her some VMA weapons, holy poo poo how do people beat it as anything but sorcs. I think playing a sorc has made me stupidly lazy since I heal myself so easily. Anyone have tipzz for mag warden in vma? skills etc, I used some random thing I found where a guy did a flawless run, so I figured it couldn't be that bad, then I hit the ice arena and god drat is that boss wrecking my poo poo.

Sup, yet another goon here who got this game during Steam's Black Friday sale, ID is @The_Canuck. I've only got the base game so far, but I'm wondering if there's any DLC that would be considered essential?

Eh, I'd say it's very worth subscribing for as long as you're playing a lot, and subscriptions are on sale at the moment so I'd go for it. The new zones are great from what I've played - Orsinium is really good - and the handy extras like the crafting bag are a godsend

I think it can take a bit to actually apply everything correctly (a few hours?) though it's been a while since I have had to deal with it. So, depends on whcih DLC, but most of them have intro quests where people will send you a letter or whatever telling you to go to X. Wrothgar you get to by wagon in any major city (if I recall), same with craglorn, TG/DB I believe are via boat in major cities and clockwork city is something similar. Usually an NPC runs up to you and hands you a letter or you get a letter somehow to start the intros.

IC questgiver is at your faction's HQ in Cyrodiil. all of the above quests can also be started from your Collection menu (default U).

If you mean the Imperial Edition that allows you to make an Imperial character, that's a separate thing still for whatever dumb reason and just not worth it. Roll Redguard instead if you wanted similar stats. The Imperial City DLC, however, is accessible by going into Cyrodiil and the riding to one of the entrances.

Scyantific posted:Aight so Magicka Templar, like Magicka Nightblade, is one of those classes that can do very well with just its class skills and nothing else. And they can work wonders with them too. Self-Heals, Debuffs, Buffs, Sustain, they have it all (well except for a source of Major Sorcery). So suppose I've been kinda following this and now I'm lv 28 except I never switched over to the two swords and stuck with destruction staff. Also I don't really use my staff skills, just my class attacks for the most part. I haven't morphed any of the staff skills yet because I didn't see them on the list up there. Seems like I'm ending up with more skill points than I can use on those suggested spells and morphs so I got some guild/craft abilities. How bad am I loving up so far? Should I try to find some good swords fast? They don't seem to be showing up much as quest rewards so far.
