   Huge improvement to load time performance, great game play, I don't understand where the bad reviews are coming from.

I really like the combat system and the huge interactive world. And I want to say: GOOD JOB Zenimax, this is a great game. And it is getting better with every expansion, including this one. I can't wait for the another. This game deserve more, than just tons of people crying because they can't loggin so they just put negative rating and make this game the worst thing in the world. I don't know, it haven't happens to me ever. ESO has never let me down yet. Definitely recommend the game.… Expand

   Just not loving this one, sadly.
   
   I'm not particularly interested in "badass vampires", anyway and am also finding the environments very dull/unattractive, as well as somewhat unfinished looking.
   
   Parts of the walls are even bugging for me, along with some of the new furnishings, which look totally black, like silhouettes.
   
   Apparently, this isn't happening for everyone, but the fact that it is (still) happening for anyone is a worry.
   
   I'm a visual person, so because most of it is so dull/unattractive to me (Skyrim the former and Blackreach the latter) I just don't find I really want to play it, at all.
   
   Of course, this will partly be down to a matter of taste, over and above any actual issues, but still.
   
   Blackreach is also pretty confusing to navigate and when you are both lost and don't like what you are looking at, you have a tendency to just want to give up and go somewhere else/log off.
   
   This feeling is compounded by the fact that you can run towards a cliff - not even to the edge of it - and then suddenly die from environmental damage, for no apparent reason at all.
   
   The usual performance issues and gameplay bugs, of course, also continue (this is ESO!), but even leaving them aside, it's just not great, in my opinion.
   
   Not happy at all that we have been given yet another chapter with no bag/bank expansion.
   
   I come from MMOs where new content = expanded bag and/or bank space, as a matter of course.
   
   So, I am just not used to this utter neglect of something so basic.
   
   Being told to make every alt a mule and then log in and out of them all, all day, by random forum people, who don't even pay for ESO+, is getting pretty old, at this point, too.
   
   If I played for free, over and above the initial game/chapter price, like they say they do, then fair enough I guess?
   
   However, I obviously don't want to pay, to then find I still have to use cheesy workarounds, like that.
   
   Feel similarly about the quest log.
   
   When you have to keep 7 slots permanently free for crafting quests, 3 free for pledges, 1 for your main quest, another 3 for other ongoing quests and perhaps a couple free for crafting writs, plus anything up to 10 free for new zone quests (including dailies), 25 is clearly not enough, unless you are very organised.
   
   The Antiquities system is generally OK, aside from a couple of bugs, as long as you can find the lead for the thing you want.
   
   Which is not always the case, especially in starter zones without bosses to kill for them.
   
   Housing-wise, most of the new (crafted) furnishings are also a little disappointing, to me.
   
   As I find about 75% of them pretty unattractive, one way or another and because there aren't even any new curtains (for the townhouse), sofas, or tapestries.
   
   The Solitude stuff is very plain, chunky, intentionally poorly finished and "rustic" and then, conversely, although finished in a far more luxurious way, a lot of the Vampiric stuff is very spiky and the wardrobes are bizarrely small and shallow.
   
   Like they were made for Vampire children; not adults.
   
   Some of the new fur rugs, food items and other furnishings are very nice, but even if you accept that you're never going to like 100% of everything produced, it's just not quite enough to feel adequately satisfying.
   
   Availability of some of the new furnishings, in guild stores, is still non-existent, which is pretty unusual, too. Usually, near the start of a new chapter, plenty of people are listing the new furnishings, for a healthy profit, but not so much this time. Plus the tendency for things to be immediately snapped up cheap and then flipped for 9x the price seems to have also increased, even further, lately. So, you can't even console yourself with decorating your new townhouse properly - as you often can't get what you need to do it at an even half reasonable price. On the plus side, at least more paintings are available in-game, now. Not a fan of the new, enormous, Vampiric "house", either, personally. It's not really even a house, as such, but rather a series of disjointed and very unwelcoming rooms. Although, I'm sure some people will like it for the theme alone. Giving the chapter 3 points. 1 for Solitude town, which is quite nice (aside from the visual wall bug I have been experiencing), 1 for the new townhouse, which isn't bad (although, not as good as the Alinor one) and 1. for the quest with the cute dog Pickles, which is the only quest I have felt like both taking and completing, so far. I'm sure there is much more good content, but as I don't even feel like doing it, in the environment provided and with so little quest log, bag and bank space, it's wasted on me, currently. All in all, I would say think very carefully about whether you are really into the theme(s) of this chapter, or not, before buying, because if you are not, there will probably not be that much to redeem it, in other ways.… Expand

   Bad writing, bad performance, bad servers, abysmal customer service. Most frustrating game I've played in a long time, where you really feelBad writing, bad performance, bad servers, abysmal customer service. Most frustrating game I've played in a long time, where you really feel like you're worth nothing as a player or a customer.
   
   The performance in this game keeps getting worse with each DLC or expansion. Instead of improving the game, ESO's just piling up the bugs. The writing is also getting far worse, less creative, more lukewarm and moved by the biases of the amateur writers ZOS hires, and getting worrying "woke". The quests no longer have the bite of the single player games, or even of the quests from early ESO, and there's certainly none of the imaginative and daring writing from Daggerfall or Morrowind. They inherited a great franchise built by better devs, and are at this point gutting the Elder Scrolls series and wearing its skin.
   
   The worst thing is all the good things ESO inherited from previous Elder Scrolls games, and even the good things Greymoor inherited from the previous expansions, but instead of being built up on they are ignored or even destroyed.
   
   It is not a good Elder Scrolls game, and it is not a good MMO.… Expand

   To complete the package, the devs proceed to update weapons sets but instead of updating your weapon, they make you waste your time and resources re-farming them again and will nerf pretty much anything because they cannot balance PvE and PvP properly.
   
   Oh and game director will mock you if you say you're very much against his decisions. He can do so because he apparently plays his game.… Expand
