The Elder Scrolls Online

I'm with Gabriella in Sweden right now (pictures will be posted when I'm back home) and we decided to buy The Elder Scrolls Online together! We both played the Beta. Back then I thought it was pretty fun but my computer couldn't handle it at all and I really wasn't willing to pay a subscription. But look! A year later and I have a new laptop and the subscription is gone.

We've been playing 'a bit' past days so I can show you our first screenshots!

This is my first character. He's a Bosmer (forest elf). (Elves look a lot better in TESO than in Skyrim) They're pretty small compared to the other races. My class is Dragonknight. Gabriella is also a Bosmer, her class is Templar.

There are Skyshards all over the map. If you find 3 you get one skillpoint. They're pretty cool looking.

There are a lot emotes in TESO. Way more than in GuildWars2. There are the most crazy things like 7 kinds of sitting, drunk dancing, using a hammer, throw water and the best of them all... Play dead!

There are some pretty cool skills but you can only have 5 on your action bar.

The sceneries and lighting are really beautiful.

Scary ladder.

There was a quest where I changed appearance. I became some scary looking elf. Apparently everyone did during that quest and I ran into a lot of lookalikes.

In one town there's a festival going on. There's a stage with NPCs playing instruments. Me and Gabriella and a random other player joined them.

The whole game is about oblivion (sort of hell) gates opening in Tamriel. Sometimes they appear on the map. monsters spawn out of it. If you kill them all and destroy the portal you get a chest. Yay.

Me with a crown (means I'm party leader).
