I really enjoyed murder by numbers. It's a visual novel which is normally not my thing but, the characters and story were fun.
Are those any good?
If you like MMO games with good singleplayer gameplay you can't miss with ESO. Base game covers a lot. The expansion packs will be even more.
And unlike a lot of MMO games. No monthly charges necessary but possible. If you decide to sub to ESO+ you get access to expansion stuff except the lastest one and you won't get access to the classes that got introduced in the expansions.
But.. you'll only need to buy the lastest expansion collection set to get all of that. The upgrade pack is only for people who got the previous expansions already.
For free? Yeah ESO is a good deal.
However, be aware of its massive shortcomings and once you begin to feel the bite of the horrendous cash store be prepared to ditch it and move on. At a certain point it's just a disappointment considering how great it could be if they weren't trying to nickel and dime you constantly (and it's far more than a nickle or dime too).
But then I'd have to use the Epic store. Nah.
Does ESO have a 'story' you can play through? I've seen it pop up a few times over the years and all I know about it is that it can become a massive time sink haha.
Yes, it has plenty. In the base game alone you have:
And then with DLC/expansions, the amount and quality of storylines grows by a lot.
But I don't even play for the stories. The raiding is very fun and challenging. I don't play the game like a time sink. I just log in for my scheduled raids and log out, and I play at a pretty high level. It's one of the less grindy MMOs. They've reduced RNG related stuff by a lot over the years.
I'm always happy to help out anyone on PC NA
Neat, thanks. I'll have to give it a go!
And let me know if you're ever in search of a guild of any kind. I have my connections :)
yes. The basegame story will take you a while to complete, and will reward you with a hat. Cadwell and Sheogorath are a joy the first time through. (main quest and mages guild)
There is a story. I can't comment on how good it is, because I didn't realize enjoy the game and only played a few hours.
I'll give the game a go but I've played so many MMOs to know the warning signs of a game using grind (travel, upkeep, etc.). If that happens I'll be gone as fast as I signed up.
And I say that as a veteran of Asherons Call, Everquest, EQ 2, Lord of the Rings Online, Dark Age of Camelot, World of Warcraft, A Tale in the Desert, Company of Heroes, Company of Villains, Guild Wars and many more. I think I played EQ for 18 months on subscription but the amount of grind convinced me I'm not going to put up with that any more. When those other games resorted to the same BS I was gone.
There's a lot of QoL stuff, and the dialog is all fully voice acted so the emphasis is really more on exploring the world and story.
I've been playing it at my own pace for years, and never worry much about what level I'm at or things like that
Thanks for the reminder!
