Postcard from the Mushroom Kingdom

What’s up guys! Just wanted to send a little postcard from ESO: Morrowind, the place I’ve disappeared to for the last few months.
I’ve played a lot of MMOs in the past. A lot of them play very similarly in terms of mechanics, yet Elder Scrolls Online is probably the least similar to other MMOs and closer to the single player experience in terms of combat and exploration, although there are still very common MMO elements like hotkey actions and fetch quests. One cool thing about the Morrowind expansion is that you can start a new character immediately in this new area without requiring a high-level character. Sometimes in MMOs you have to reach the end of the base game before getting access to new expansion areas, so it’s refreshing that I can just play this area alone if I want too.
I like having the option of fighting in first person view mode. It makes it feel more immersive when I’m exploring the overworld and can also switch to 3rd person camera for fighting multiple enemies so I can plan strategies better. From the very beginning of the game, there are plenty of tombs, caves and mines to discover and just go on a killing spree without needing to push any of the story or side quests. However, the story and side-quests are all very good. I think the visual updates to Elder Scrolls Online world is much easier on the eyes than playing through the older games. Whether the story content lives up to previous games, I don’t know? The MMO structure makes it very accessible though. I can’t wait to eventually play Summerset expansion and visit the land of elves.
Morrowind is such an amazing environment. Giant ass mushrooms towering everywhere. It’s basically a giant island filled with giant mushrooms and a volcano at the top of it which you can see in the background no matter where you’re traveling. I like all the weird dark elf lore too.
E3 thoughts
I’m very excited about Resident Evil 2 remake. God damn! It looks spooky as hell with all the new lighting.
I’m glad Kingdom Hearts 3 has a release date at least.
I enjoyed DMC so obviously I was surprised to see the new Devil May Cry 5 trailer.
The new FromSoft Souls game that’s a Samurai souls game looks interesting, as well as the Onimusha game that Sony is making.
Assassins Creed Odyssey looks amazing. I want to jump back into the series with this game.
Other thoughts…
Black Ops 3 is free on PS+ so I’m trying that out for the first time and it’s pretty fun! It’s more future robot/scifi than modern wars and I like this theme a lot. It’s like Vanquish or Titanfall or Binary Domain. Very cool story.
