Is nightblade good for up in your face or should I roll something like the dragon knight or templar if I wanna gently caress poo poo up in melee?

One character I have is a crit-focused melee Dragonknight, and it's pretty fun. While DKs lack high single-target damage abilities, they are insanely survivable and have access to both good AoE skills and DoTs, and now that some of the morphs scale with Stamina it can allow them to have a constant damage output while using the Dual-Wield skills for finishers.

You forgot this from the Op.

Are those maps up-to-date, though?
Zenimax did overhaul a lot of the dungeons: almost all the ones I've re-visited lately had a completely different layout from when I ran through them originally months ago.

Edit:
for example I ran through Entila's Folly yesterday and I cannot see its current layout in that list of maps you posted.

Pickpocketing is chance based which you can improve leveling up the thieves skill line while normal stealing is just crouching out of sight and grabbing stuff when no one is looking. Medium armor (light armor in other TES games) improves your sneaking abilities and the thief skill line can improve sneaking as well as paying bribes, fencing stolen goods, etc.

Of note is that you don't have to crouch if there's no-one around: NPCs do have limited detection range anywhere that isn't the front.

This is amazing. I'm going to need to spend a point on the morph now.

One of my alt runs Volley with the Scorched Earth morph and Bombard.
I open up with Scorched Earth, and then hit the enemies with Bombard, rooting them in the AoE. Then I either use Venom Arrow on enemies using interruptable attacks, or just spam Bombard until they all die. It works great against most groups of enemies.
Of course enemies immune to rooting effects need to be danced around to get the most damage out of my AoE.

Wait so do you actually need 2 completely separated installs ? 2 80 gb installs if you want to be able to play EU and NA ? That's absurd.

I guess p much all of you fuckers are on NA servers.

Quite a few of us Euros are on the NA server as well, yes. :v:

As for the installer, there should be a few tricks online to allow you to use the downloaded EU client to play on the NA server, but they are a bit dodgy: I remember trying it many months ago and while it did eventually work, it took a fair bit of trial and error on my part.

Both guilds are getting more active nowadays although the Ebonheart one still has Scyantific, the guildmaster, is actually still playing the game unlike the Daggerfall's.
You can be in both anyways, if you want to.

Berke Negri posted:

Yeah, make sure to launder any gear you steal you'd like to use. Otherwise if you ever get nicked while out in the town by guards they'll leave you naked and without gold in the streets. Maybe dead too.

That is, unless you want to go for the achievement, in which case you'll need to wear all stolen armor and weapons and then have a guard confiscate it. :v:

Also, how much health should I have as a dps?

The higher your maximum Stamina/Magicka, the more damage your Stamina/Magicka skills do. And yes, that's taking into account Increase Max Stamina/Magicka armor enchantments and food (and one of the reasons drinks are still not as viable).

Sky Shadowing posted:

Also, having finished Cadwell's Gold, I can say that as far as faction storylines the Aldmeri Dominion story is, in my opinion, the most fun to play through. Ebonheart Pact has an issue of largely 'okay hero, you've completed this area, good for you! We've got nothing left for you to do!', and then you step outside and someone's there to conveniently say 'hey buddy can you come check on this situation in this other area?' The AD's story actually strings along fairly well: the events of the ending of one area lead directly into the next.

The AD storyline also tends to introduce characters that will show up as the focus in later zones and in general do a lot more foreshadowing compared to the other two factions, which is a nice touch when playing through the zones a second time.
Also bonus points of being the one faction where you kill the most elves. :v:

Templar heals are generally not spammable because they eat magicka, if you're going to toss heals around you want the heal staff spells

Indeed: Templar heals are not very efficient with their magicka, but are good for burst healing in an emergency. The Restoration Staff doesn't have the same amount of healing in one go, but are much more sustainable.

Scyantific posted:

Daggerfall is the most boring of the alliances because every single zone's story involves the undead being used in some form to wrest power from those who currently have it.

Also, generic as gently caress environments too.

Berke Negri posted:

Rivenspire in DC has one of the cooler stories because its all about a failed capital T Tower the Ayelids tried to build (like White Gold in Imperial City) malfunctioning.

But there's also undead.

Yeah, Rivenspire is a pretty good zone, and so is the Alik'r Desert due to the change of scenery, even though it's even more undead.
For interesting zones when starting out either the EP or AD are good choices, the first because after Bleakrock it spends a fair amount of time in Morrowind and Black Marsh, while the latter because the overall story is more tightly-written and aside from Auridon, the locations are still nice.

Speaking of inventory issues, what's the fastest way to up your bag size?
Also, any tricks for easy money early on?

Fastest way would be to dump money at the various Bag Vendors until you reach the max number of bag upgrades.
The most cost-effective would be getting a mount and training up your "Carrying Capacity" riding skill so that you will eventually get 60 extra bag slots.
Do note that bag upgrade and mount carrying capacity stack allowing for a maximum inventory of around 170 for a single character.

Horses seem so damned expensive, man. =\

On the bright side, even if you buy the cheapest non-Cash Shop horse (I think it's around 10000 in-game money), it is unlocked for every single character you make on your account.
Any additional mount you buy, be it with in-game money or real life cash, just acts as a new skin you can switch to.

What's the earliest I can feasibly respec? I put a couple points in bow skills because I found a decent bow but it's sort of a weird sorcerer build and I'd rather go more traditional.

As soon as you have some money and get to the capital city of your faction (Wayrest/Elden Root/Mournhold).
They are always in the second "main" zone you explore and can be easily reached if you dodge enemies that are higher level than you and any quest giver that tries to stop you.
For Wayrest and Mournhold you can just walk there by going in Stormhaven/Deshaan, while to get to Elden Root you need to take a boat from the docks in Skywatch: one of the NPCs there will offer to take you to Grahtwood.

Looks like we won't have to worry about keeping on a PvP campaign where our faction has full superiority any longer: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/180480/pvp-update-june-2015

quote:

PVP Bonuses: Keep, Elder Scroll, and the Emperorship bonuses (passive buffs) will apply only in PVP spaces. This change will effectively do away with the concept of �buff servers.� Originally, we wanted these bonuses to provide a game-wide benefit, but we�ve seen this design become detrimental to the PVP experience due to alliances having "buff servers."

Keep in mind that this is what Zenimax is considering doing, so it may be changed/not happen.
