Description

The Elder Scrolls Online for PC is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that is part of the Elder Scrolls series and the first multiplayer offering from the game. Set on the fictional continent of Tamriel – as are all the other games in the series – the game is not directly linked to any of the others, being instead a standalone offering in a world that would be familiar to regular players but still accessible to newcomers.

More than ten million people have played the games since its initial release, and around a million people per month are registered as playing their way through the game at any point.

About the Game


Play is non-linear with players able to choose quests from a smorgasbord of options. You can roam freely around the world, playing sandbox style and stumbling across the secrets of Tamriel and choosing to help with quests or not, as you like. Alternatively, you can accept every quest that is offered, and watch out for random events, taking advantage of the chance to gather prizes by winning your way to the top of the leader board.

There are two simultaneous conflicts going on: a battle for the Imperial Throne which will offer the winner power over all Tamriel, and a fight against Prince Molag Bal, a Daedra, who must be stopped from completing his mission. The player can take his or her time over completing these tasks, exploring far and wide and ignoring these twin calls to action until they are ready to get to work on them.

How to Play


You begin play along with many others, trying to retrieve your soul from Molag Bal, and manage to escape from his clutches. From there, you can play your way around the world, gathering equipment and completing missions until you attain level 10. At this point, competitive play is possible, and you are given more information and deeper missions with every gain of five levels.

As with many MMORPGs you will spend a lot of your time battling other players as they try to beat you to the treasure or simply off you because you’re in their way. Keep your inventory well stocked and make sure your weapons are easily to hand and that you know how to use them, or else you risk facing an untimely demise along with all the attendant annoyances that come with sudden death.

Pick Your Species and Race


There are ten different races, each of which fall under one of three species. They are as follows:

  • Human Races: Nords, Redguards, Bretons, Imperials – these human races work well together and have distinct differences in how they look, ranging from skin colour to mode of dress

  • Elvish Races: Dunmer (Dark Elves), Altmer (High Elves), Bosmer (wood Elves), Orsimer (Orc Elves) – elves are also known as the ‘mer’ and they are much longer-lived than humans, with lifespans of up to two or three hundred years. Perhaps because of this, they are conditionally fertile, only becoming so when populations drop too low and a birth-rate boost is required to restore population levels

  • Bestial Races: Khajiit, Argonians – as the name sounds, beastfolk are chimera, sentient half-men half-beast beings. They vary greatly, even amongst themselves, much like comparing mammals amongst themselves. They have unusual metabolisms, skeletal structures and powers, and any player who chooses to be one of these characters must take a moment to learn the advantages and disadvantages of the beastfolk form they have chosen

    • Along with these choices, players must also pick classes and skill sets for their characters. Each choice affects the abilities and talents of their avatar, strengthening them in certain areas and weakening them in others: so do be careful to choose wisely!

    The Elder Scrolls Online for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

    The Elder Scrolls Online Review

    The Elder Scrolls Online is a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in the world of Tamriel, over a thousand years before the events of Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Players can choose from one of ten races and six classes, and then create their own unique character to explore the world, complete quests, and battle enemies.

    ESO offers a massive open world to explore, with a variety of different zones to visit, each with its own unique environment. Players can also join one of three factions: the Aldmeri Dominion, the Daggerfall Covenant, or the Ebonheart Pact. Each faction has its own unique storyline and quests.

    ESO also features a variety of different multiplayer activities, including dungeons, trials, and PvP. Dungeons are group challenges that require players to work together to defeat enemies and solve puzzles. Trials are even more challenging, and require players to have a high level of coordination and skill. PvP allows players to battle each other in a variety of different modes, including Cyrodiil, the game's open world PvP zone.

    Overall, The Elder Scrolls Online is an excellent MMORPG with a lot to offer players. It is a must-play for fans of the Elder Scrolls series, and for fans of MMORPGs in general.

    Score 8/10
    • Huge open world to explore
    • Engaging story and quests
    • Regular updates with new content
    • Microtransactions can be expensive
    • Some content is locked behind a subscription
    • Can be grindy at times
    Beautiful MMO!

    Astonishing environment which brings TES world to another level

    Lots of interesting main & non-main quests.

    I really appreciate it, worth to spend money for it.

    I just hope it will become an everlasting played game.
    • Beautiful TES environment
    • Nice storylines
    • Tons of quests
    The developers make me spend a lot of time in crafting in Excel. It's strange that they don't offer me to craft a game. Before you go to slash enemies with a skyrim's swing, you will have to explore a lot of folders with Word documents. No wonder Microsoft bought out the company! This world is too big for me to waste energy on chatting with npc. I have not yet learned everything in the universe of Jesus Christ series. Todd, leave the lore to the writers, take my hand and lead to the someone to pierce with a blade.

    For a short time spent in the game, I remembered the cities. There is something special about this. The game will appeal to those who have explored the continents of TES before the release of the online.

    Solid purchase, received the code in good time and redeemed the code with no issues. Got a large code that I felt I needed to save in case there were issues down the road but no issues when registering the game.
    The Elder Scrolls Online
    As a die-hard fan of RPGs and sandboxes, there’s a special place in my mind for The Elder Scrolls Franchise. Since I was introduced to the series back in 2002, I’ve spent hundreds of hours navigating the immense fantasy-themed world of Bethesda in search of adventure, loot, NPCs, and the gorgeous views of surrounding landscapes. It’s a real MMORPG video game released by ZeniMax Online Studios. The game serves as a part of the long-running The Elder Scrolls series and introduces lots of prominent features that you have never seen before. Honestly, there’s nothing about Massively Multiplayer Online games that I dislike; however, I intend to go with freedom of playing solo adventures over guild-based raids. But I’m happy that at least I tried, and I liked it.

    Background Story – Be a Hero
    The game starts with your favorite character, who escapes from the prison in the daedric realm, Coldharbour. According to the plot, the daedric prince Malog Bal has stolen your soul, with the help of a few new allies, and you return to Tamriel as a vestige. After reaching there, you must spend a hundred hours to complete the challenging quests to approach the level cap of 50. The difficulty level will start increasing with level 10, and the advancement in missions will unlock new stuff. It offers content-driven gameplay and will allow you to experience excellent gameplay with other players from all over the world.
    Highly Detailed Environment and Monthly Subscription Model
    Similar to other titles in The Elder Scrolls franchise, the game takes place in the continent of Tamriel and introduces a well-written storyline that is indirectly attached to different titles. Like other MMORPGs, the game introduces the monthly subscription model, and it means you must pay monthly charges to keep continuing your gaming service. During the gameplay, you can explore the environment from a third-person perspective to kill other players or enemies to retrieve your soul to become the master. While playing the game, you can use a variety of melee weapons and other gear to earn in-game currency.

    Gameplay – What’s new?
    Like the previous installment, the game focuses on non-linear gameplay, introduces a perfect combination of free-roaming, random events, quests, and epic battles. Although the game doesn’t present a Single-player offline play, the developers said that there would be a variety of content specially designed for those users who prefer to play solo. There are ten different races categorized into three types, such as:
    • Elvish Races
    • Humans
    • Bestial Races
    Before start playing the game, the ultimate job of the player is to choose one of three races and then go with character classes to choose his favorite one out of six, such as:
    • Sorcerer
    • Templar
    • Nightblade
    • Dragonknight
    • Warden
    • Necromancer
    You would be happy to know that each class is offering you various attacks, passive effects, and spells.

    Setting and Combat System
    The world where the game takes place is expansive, but it doesn’t calibrate your sense against other titles available in the series. A limited distance, repetitive buildings, and scenery make you feel the game is smaller than it seems on a map. The main problem is that each zone is offering a single region for players of a specific level range, and as you advance through the game, further zones will be unlocked to navigate. The objectives you complete directly fall into a few categories, including Fetch Quests, Kill Lists, and Simple Object Finding. The complicated combat system of the game hybridizes the traditional Massively Multiplayer Online Rotation System, where the player can cycle through a set of skills and magical powers.

    Final Verdict
    The Elder Scrolls Online comes with outstanding gameplay, although a few well-structured systems are struggling to overcome lifeless presentation, but tough to recommend. There’s one flaw in the PvP event that the map is too large to explore. Combat was brilliant when I involved in it but found myself wasting lots of hours from reaching one place to another.

    Great MMO offering rich lore and interesting combat mechanics.
    Elder Scrolls Lore is really deep, and that fact definitely helps to get immersed in that game.
    If you like Skyrim and feel that MMO itch, get this game!
    • Rich Lore
    • Action Combat, No Tab Targeting
    • Graphics are decent
    • Launcher could be better
    Best of MMORPG! Very cozy very spectacular! There are very few mmorpg games that are out of wow. This game is the only one that reaches. They are upgrading a lot, correcting a lot of errors and innovating constantly. Not a subscription as a wow, which is already a big advantage to the game! It reveals the medieval world in a great way. I can recommend it to anyone who likes role-playing.
    • nice graphics
    • Best of MMORPG
    • Great sight world
    It worked very well! I recommend it because it was very easy to redeem the code and it was very quick , it is also a lot cheaper than the steam version and cheaper than any other websites .

    If you are looking for a good MMO, this is it.
    • Worked
    Sve je radilo iz prve i bez greske. Ovo je vec 5. igrica koju sam pazario na ovaj nacin preko ovog sajta i svaka im cast na brzini, pouzdanosti.. svaka cast. a igrica je sama po sebi carska :) ali jedva cekam novi deo koji nije on line.
    • good!
    Vrhunska igra! Ovo se cekalo godinama , konacno nesto da zameni World of Warcraft, ili bar da malo ga uspori. Sto se tice ove igre super je dosta mogucnosti i svasta po nesto. Malo je teze snaci se prvi put, ali par dana i to je to.
    • Sve
    • Nista
    Its a solid 75% for me but due to lack of option i have to go with 80% because, im in early stages and I still feeling the excitement.
    A good game for both its aspects (multiplayer or single player).
    • Vast single player campaign
    • Immersive
    • Follows all the principals that made Elder scrolls famous
    • Side quests are popping up like mushrooms
    • Graphics are good , but not "2017 good".
    graphic is smoothly rendered and it is fancy though i really like graphic like skyrim. storytelling is great either. what i am surprised at is Add-on system. it makes the game more comfortable such as improving user interface or translating enlgish to other languages
    fantastic game with the gold edition so you have access to all the dlc's out apart from the newly released morrowind but i'm waiting for it to be cheaper before buying that, best played with a friend or two to get the most out of the game.
    IMHO this is the top mmorpg in 2016/2017
    And for the first time ever I love the questing part of it. In terms of graphics, if you have a mid-end computer you can push it on ultra settings and enjoy crazy good light and shadow effects. Voice acting is very good, and the lore and immersion is really top in this category.

    That game is awesome! I spent tons of hours playing it! There are lot of locations in the game and you can play with your friends and find new players! So much contents and very very addictive game! If you like this kind of games, you should really buy this masterpiece!

    This is a fantastic game with no monthly fee! A good community, good developer involvement and a lot of game-play content! I recommend the gold edition, cant beat the price at this site, but no steam integration. I can live with that though, it's the same servers! :)
    • Fun, lots of content, good community.
