You are about to receive a letter from the central bureaucracy.

Also, I have my haughty Aldmer sorcerer, but if there's a new class, I might just hold off on leveling her.

I've seen people who are next to useless on other classes, but the moment they set up a Stamden they are able to hold their own pretty well.

That's how overturned Stamden is at the moment.

That's not even getting into someone who actually knows how to PvP.

It doesn’t install twice. First launch has it unpack through steam, and after that the launcher itself unpacks. Takes like 15-20 minutes.

If I want to do something probably stupid and play a DK that does almost nothing but poison everything what weapon should I be taking other than bows?

I went ahead and got the game. It's come to my attention that the game becomes noticeably worse both gameplay-wise and performance-wise whenever there are other players around which is funny for an MMO. Enjoying it otherwise.

StamDK DW/Bow is the way to go.

You get both a poison claw attack and a green fire breath that does poison and weakens their armour, poison enchants on your weapons, and heavy attack like a god damned monster machine.

The steam version won't install if you bought your ESO from someone else. I thought I could move my Imperial edition pre-order to steam but it tells me to get lost and buy a steam key. Which is reasonable from steams point of view but if they want to consolidate on one platform, they'll need to work on it.

It doesn't download twice but because of a stupid bug you need something like 200gb free to install the steam version. This is because it downloads the game in steam, and then after that the teso launcher checks to make sure you have enough space free to download the game, even though you already did. If you do, then it patches the game and you don't have to worry about that again.

Thanks! I have no idea why Bethesda keeps age gating all of their YouTube videos in the US. Looks decent so far. I have yet to do any of the DLC zones, hopefully I can get through the rest of Bangkorai and Coldharbor this weekend, so I will have to hurry up and get to them.

Jewel crafting is an obvious crafting skill but makes sense. I just hope ZMO gets rid of the invigorating armor trait or buffs it.

2H and bow has a lot of DOTs and AOE stuff that plays well with their poison abilities, that's the build I have on my stamDK.

Been using this as a loose guide. Things seem to be dieing faster than when I used a 2h, but I'm not big on a lot of it for some reason or another.

That's what I used on my last DK, and it worked alright. I'm guessing it starts to feel a lot better after unlocking more champ points?

In terms of PvE you'll get more overall DPS using DW/Bow over 2H/Bow. Using a 2H is absolutely viable but you'll get higher DPS gains out of DW.

Sounds like Elam Drals has been there: "This place reminds me of the Baron's Maze back in Cloudrest. Confusing network of passages. But there was a terrific meat pie stall near the entrance."

Also excited about more Raz! :3:

Now listen to me children and I'll tell you of the legend of the Ninja
I can't believe this game rejected the lore friendly Argonian name Jesus-on-a-Dino.

I picked Templar and it seems I'm railroaded towards using 2H weapons. I didn't like it at first, but then I found out about the skill where you move very fast towards a skeleton and smack it. Currently my battleplan is to move very fast towards skeletons and smack them and then light them on fire. Am I doing something wrong, and if I am, does it actually matter? Also there seems to be a skill for capturing souls in gems, how essential is this and should I even bother?

I never used the casted soul spell, you just use the passive that gives you a 5-10% chance of filling a soul gem on kill, it's the last skill in the line, you level that line up by doing main quest.

There's a distinct possibility that the word 'Jesus' is the problem. I don't know why I even bother to try and have fun in these new MMOs anymore. In the olden days you could at least sneak a good character name through, and then have discussions with the support staff about it, and what exactly their EULA said.
