I want to know if this is the typical MMORPG with forced daily quest to get exclusive rewards instead of giving actual contet or it is actually interesting story and gameplay wise.

Chiming in as well, even though I'm mainly just a lurker here these days:

I continue to play nearly daily, even if only jumping on for whatever event is happening and the endeavors. I enjoy having a place (STO) to go to immerse into the Star Trek universe. Sure, the game itself is dated with certain mechanics and visuals, but it's still wonderful to play in spaces (heh) of the established lore.

Oddly enough, I find myself mostly enjoying the seasonal events. I used to roll my eyes at those, but now it's what brings me and my friends back to the game simply so we can run around Risa, some haunted castle, and especially the Winter Wonderland.

I haven't stayed current on my builds, so I'm still flying ships which have long been out done in their DPS, but it's fun for me to have those old familiar builds which can still wipe any PVE content quickly (for the sake of endeavors).

What are endeavors? Is like a The Elder Scrolls Online daily to get unique contend doing dailys and week task?

Endeavors are basically daily tasks that you complete to earn points toward perk unlocks. The original perks (still available) were pretty decent, increasing valuable stats. Most of the added (newer) perks are kind of a joke.

In any case, here's a quote from the article on STO Wiki about Endeavors:

The Endeavor System is composed of two parts: Universal Endeavors which are game-wide challenges, and Personal Endeavors which are randomly allocated account-specific challenges. Challenges include playing specific missions, dealing a specific damage type and completing R&D tasks. Completion awards prize boxes and progress towards passive skill perks.

So it is like TESO endeavors! But they are worthy for gameplay instead of cosmetics.

Following up to add: The endeavors are worth doing for the perks, but only if you WANT to do that specific endeavor and/or can reroll a bad one. Furthermore, many of the Endeavors are easy to complete very quickly in solo missions or patrols, if you know where to go. Definitely feel free to ask here in STO Alliance; I and others will pipe up with suggestions.
