Man, soul magic saves you a lot of money. Two dozen empty soul gems fill fast in a single quest. And to think I was actually buying grand soul gems st the start.

Can someone explain his DLC works in this game? I downloaded the free weekend and I’m liking it so far, enough so that I am considering picking up a copy. I’m wondering if this is a “in for a penny, in for a pound” type of game where it’s kinda mandatory you get all the DLC?

Just kinda want to know what sort of can of worms I am opening here. Thanks.

Not mandatory at all. Imperial city, for instance, isn’t needed unless you want to PvP there or do the two extra dungeons. Orsinium is pretty great and can be had at a steep discount right now, so highly recommended. Thieves guild if you like stealing, and dark brotherhood if you like murder. I wouldn’t bother with the Hist dungeon pack unless you get to the endgame and want to grind stuff for your character.

It’s a generous system where even best gear are not locked behind DLCs (Maelstrom weapons in Orsinium and a Spell Power Cure (a healer set) are probably the only exceptions.) That’s many, many hours away from consideration.

You can play the base game for hundreds of hours, easily.

Yeah, I barely scratched the surface at 20-30 hours before even deciding to subscribe a while back. There is so much to do here it’s silly.

That’s cool. I like that you can add DLC a la carte, rather than if being a different sort of subscription model.

I highly recommend the Dark Brotherhood. Sneaky fun.

Starting DB gets you the blade of woe, which is very useful elsewhere in the game. Do that first.

Reheeeallllyyy…I might have to take a detour from Orsinium and check this out…

Oh yes. So very much this.

Can I get a guild invite? My id is T7787. Picked this up during this weekend’s sale. Thanks!

Done!

Thanks!

You’re welcome. Let me know if you want to run any dungeons.

Have a 50 dragon knight, 21 sorcerer, a 20 night blade, and a 15ish templar.

I’m up for dungeons or anything else. Though, I am only level 5. So far, the PvE is much more enjoyable than GW2 and Wow, which I find very frustrating.

So I started the Dark Brotherhood line aaannnnnnndddddd I’m digging it. However, I got stuck on that first mission to sneak into someone’s estate and kill 'em. They’re behind a door, and I’m out of lockpicks. AWESOME.

I’m also thinking of switching characters for a spell, something I don’t usually do. I’m having so much fun in LOTRO as an archer that I created a Khajiit archer and am gonna try 'em out. The sorcerer here just…doesn’t feel as powerful/fun as the battlemage in single player elder scrolls games.

You don’t skip dialog do you, Brian? You are specifically told that the dude you’re after is very security conscious and you should bring a bunch of lockpicks.

I HAD A bunch of lockpicks and used 'em all because I’m a wizard that sucks at picking locks, son. :P

What is the current opinion on getting the Guilds and Glory DLC? I have the base game, is it worth picking up the DLC pack while the crown sale is still going on?

I just started playing and have a few noob questions.

If I want to try a bow and duel weld, I just need to get two single handed weapons and a bow? That will let me select those weapons attacks? Is there a way to switch between a bow and duel?

Should the first few attribute points be put into health? I am going to try a Stam Sorc with bow/duel. When I try to search the internet on some basic choices to start it is quite overwhelming and I do not understand the lingo yet to know what everyone is talking about (and I have watched some of the tutorial suggested here already). : )

Are there any Addions that are recommended for a beginner? This is also hard since it seems a lot of them are not updated when I tried to research in my own. Where is best site to find the best updated addons?
