Morrowind expansion:

I finally dug this out of the old backlog from some sale or another and have been super casually enjoying it.

I guess once I get far enough to care I may have to pony up for some Morrowind exploring if it’s good.

I picked it up for Xbone duing the holiday sale for $15. I’m kind of kicking myself for not just spending the extra $15 for the Gold edition, but eh. The only thing I really want in there is the Thieve’s Guild expansion. I’m L28 running around Greenshade if anyone plays on that platform.

Morrowind sounds neat- it was my favorite of the series thus far. Did they say when it’s coming to consoles, or how much?

June 6th for all platforms.

$40 if you already have the game. $60 for a bundle with the base game.

They’ll have my money.

They have mine. Trigger pulled.

A sneak peak just leaked out.

Ahh. The memories. Sort of.

Actually reminds me of the mosquitoes in Florida.

I love that clip of that mod. I have successfully terrorized any family member that played Morrowind with it!

FYI housing is here.

Homestead, included free with ESO’s next major game update, introduces the long-anticipated player housing system. It also includes furniture crafting and robust home decoration options. With nearly 40 unique homes to choose from and over 2,000 individual decorative and furniture options to make each home truly unique, Homestead will allow you to make Tamriel your own like never before.

Will be logging in tonight to at least get my room at the inn.

I have enough funds to afford a small house but am considering saving up for at least a medium before I take the plunge. I’ve played on again / off again since release and only just joined a trading guild a few weeks ago to sell stuff. Currently have about 160k in the bank.

I’ll probably settle for the free room too. Furnishing is its own daunting task, probably wise to stay away from that rabbit hole.

After months of inactivity I went back and played some pvp, it’s still fun. I really wish they’d balance the weapon trait system though, as there are builds I’d like to try out but can’t, for the lack of sharpened weapons.

Free room at the inn?

Soon, owning your own little corner of Tamriel will be a reality. When > Homestead launches in February 2017, you’ll have your pick from nearly 40 unique homes. After completing the Homestead tutorial quest, you’ll be given your first home: a modest room at a local inn. When you’re ready to expand, additional homes ranging from a cozy tree home in Greenshade to a charming villa in Malabal Tor to a sprawling manor estate in The Rift are available across Tamriel.

The buyable houses go up to ~3 million gold for a castle.

Dayum. Thanks!

The real grind is not just buying a home though (supposedly some of the 800,000 range gold homes are very nice), but getting recipes to craft furniture. From what I’ve read (briefly, so could be wrong), you need to do normal writs, which has a chance to drop master writs, which may demand a random item from a random set in random style, possibly in legendary quality (which would cost tens of thousands just in tempers.) That will give you a certain number of vouchers or tokens to buy furniture recipes with. Or you can buy stuff from guild stores for equally exorbitant prices.

I love ESO, but staying far away.

Got my room. It has a single carved tea table with a candle on it. Very spartan.

Interesting reaction to the Morrowind expansion from some of the ESO Plus subscribers on the official forum. They’re mad that it’s not included in their monthly sub like the other DLC.

A substantial portion of the subscription’s value is bound to the included DLC. I don’t blame 'em one bit.

I kinda get it though, this is a major expansion that likely takes a bit more work than the DLC, so I don’t mind paying for it.
