| I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I tried TESO
Fell out for a few days in the online Tamriel - the world of the Ancient Scrolls. At the start of the game, many said that the game is full of bugs, the game is not translated, that the tasks are monotonous, the world is not open, and besides, you need to pay for a subscription. Well, now you can make everyone happy – everything has changed!
You don't need to pay every month anymore – just buy The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited and play as much as you want. With the introduction of an in-game store, subscriptions were canceled. And in it you can buy a membership in ESO Plus, which gives access to DLC, 1500 crowns per month and a bonus to gain experience, as well as (not very mandatory) vehicles, clothes, or various items that slightly simplify the game, like potion sets or a scroll that allows you to forget all the talents.

HUGE WORLD
What has changed in the game itself? While I played bugs I did not notice, although, of course, this does not mean that they are not there). If earlier anything could happen from a fall in textures, to a quest error, now everything is smooth. Tasks please with variety and stories. They will not be asked to look for a fleeing herd or to skin 50 wild boars.
Visiting a village or city, you can find yourself in the thick of the battle, help the inhabitants liberate the city from pirates, deal with a secret conspiracy, help a cheerful company of fearless adventurers and even get on the plan of one of the princes of the Daedra. Along with the Alliance War for the Tower of White Gold, a more terrible disaster struck Tamriel - hordes of henchmen Molag Bal, the God of Intrigue, the King of Violence, the Prince of Wrath, the Father of Monsters, the Lord of Troubles, the Master of Slaves, constantly arrive through portals in the sky, and an army of the dead marches around the world, under the leadership of Mannimarco and the world must be saved. At the same time, all the characters speak all the lines, express their emotions with good animation and behave very vividly. Of course, not everyone goes to bed, but they do not get bored without doing anything: they write something, forge metal in a forge, eat, talk, say hello, guards patrol the streets, there are different living creatures, like cats, mice, monkeys.

But even outside the walls of the city, travelers are waiting for a rich world: ruined camps, abandoned and inhabited caves and mines, Nordic, Dwemer, Ayled, Daedric ruins, itinerant traders, cheerful circus performers, evil witches. As with other TES games, you can go anywhere. Of course, it is very dangerous to encounter creatures higher by several levels, but you can escape from them using stealth or speed. As soon as I acquired a horse, I freely skipped all the open lands, visited all the main settlements, and there you can take and perform tasks because there are dialogue chains of quests or you can perform complex tasks with partners.

ACTIVITIES AND PROFESSIONS
So what to do in this vast and living world? In addition to wandering and completing quests, there is always something to do: blacksmithing, tailoring, enchantment, alchemy, supply (aka cooking) and even creating paints for clothes. Self-made items are stronger than what's lying around in stores, so it always makes sense to create items for yourself or sell them to other players for good money. In addition, you can capture souls and use them to charge magical weapons or resurrection at the place of death.
The character development here is similar to Skyrim - what you do, you develop and at the same time no one limits the weapon classes that you can fight. Even an armored warrior can use magic staffs or shoot a bow from afar. The combat system here also honors the traditions of the series and almost avoids auto-guidance, forcing more dodging attacks, blocking and stunning opponents. In addition to completing the main story quest, you can always join the Guild of Fighters, the Guild of Magicians, go through dungeons and raids, become a vampire or a werewolf.

THEFT. BREAK-IN. CRIME. PUNISHMENT.
On the territory of Tamriel, in any faction, there are a lot of cities and settlements and everywhere there is someone to steal, the loot can be sold to smugglers. You can steal from chests, pockets, cabinets and even open locked doors to houses, everything is as it should be. But do not forget - you will get caught stealing, get a bad name, and the guard can chase you, try to detain and take away everything stolen, you will not be able to defeat them in battle, and you can not load here) You can also just wander around the city for a while until the notoriety disappears.

GUILDS ARE EVERYTHING
One of the important differences is that there is no general auction. But there is a bank and a guild shop where you can store or sell everything to other guild members. And given that you can be a member of five guilds at the same time , (joining the guild applies to the entire account, that is, to all characters), this leads to the fact that there are whole trading guilds, where people only buy and sell. And of course, guilds are needed for the usual purposes - communication, joint passage of dungeons, participation in raids, conquest of Cyrodiil and role-playing.

ROLEPLAY
There are a large number of opportunities for role-playing of your hero: a lot of different animations, chat channels that allow you to sort the types of messages, a lively and diverse community, and the value system of the game - it's just a pleasure to spend time here, the world is full of stories, the character, his character and biography easily fit into the world, and there is no need (but you can) chase the maximum level all the time, to cover all game content. Sometimes, just walking around the city, you can see a great role-playing game – without jumping and madness. Interesting conversations, impromptu quarrels, turn-based battles, or fun holidays, everything here happens very organically. There are special guilds focused on role wagering, such as Stormhaven RP, which like to gather in the smugglers' hideout in the Daggerfole town of Weirest.

CYRODIIL, THE SEETHING HEART OF ALLIANCE WARFARE
Having mastered the game, already at level 10, you can go to a huge battle between factions in the expanses of Cyrodiil, in the middle of which rises the Tower of White Gold. A crazy mixture of genres: the capture of important points - fortresses, sawmills and mills, hardcore PvP, the abduction and protection of the Ancient Scrolls, influence in the zones, the rooftop siege and defense of castles by numerous armies with the destruction of walls by trebuchets and the unstoppable fire of siege weapons.

SUMMARY
A lively, atmospheric world in which it is pleasant just to be, a great place for travel, role-playing, battles with other players, developing the best ideas of the Ancient Scrolls and MMO games. I will definitely play, who wants to join the guild and conquer Tamriel together, write.
P.S. And I would also mention the music and songs in taverns – bards perform songs of the famous Malukah.
That's all, put likes (I will be very pleased), tell your friends, share your impressions of the game or tell what you would like to read about)
