The newest downloadable content (DLC) for “Elder Scrolls” online dropped this summer, and the world of “Elder Scrolls” is better than ever!
The game returns to the Dark Elf kingdom of Morrowind and all of its magic and politics, but this time the demonic Daedra hordes of Oblivion are invading. Daedra gods are threating the whole world in their infernal conflict amongst themselves to control the universe.
You travel across the volcanic Morrowind and its caste-based cities, with its backstabbing politics and into the Lovecraft-like world of Apocrypha. It is a vast rotten world of demons and undead that is the universe’s wastebin of knowledge, books and lore.
The world is well done when it comes to art and feel, with whimsy and dread all at once. The demon world is filled with dungeons and events that bring flavor to the game.
It includes a new Mage class as well, and the main story and world exploration feels alive and open enough to get lost in.
What really sells this DLC is the fun and sense of adventure which has been lacking for the last year or so, with the bland experimentation of the last DLC. With the very Lovecraftian gothic feel for everything, the game feels fresh.
Return to the world of the “Elder Scrolls” and nerd out in the demonic universes of forbidden knowledge.
New content makes ‘Elder Scrolls’ better than ever
