Does ESO have a 'story' you can play through? I've seen it pop up a few times over the years and all I know about it is that it can become a massive time sink haha.

Yes, it has plenty. In the base game alone you have:

  • Main story line (with Molag Bal being the main antagonist)
  • A story line for each of the three alliances (you can even play through the other alliances' storylines even if youre not part of them)
  • Guild storylines like Mages Guild and Fighters Guild
  • A separate storyline based in the zone of Craglorn (south eastern Hammerfell)
  • Plenty of side quests everywhere

And then with DLC/expansions, the amount and quality of storylines grows by a lot.

But I don't even play for the stories. The raiding is very fun and challenging. I don't play the game like a time sink. I just log in for my scheduled raids and log out, and I play at a pretty high level. It's one of the less grindy MMOs. They've reduced RNG related stuff by a lot over the years.

I'm always happy to help out anyone on PC NA

Neat, thanks. I'll have to give it a go!

And let me know if you're ever in search of a guild of any kind. I have my connections :)

yes. The basegame story will take you a while to complete, and will reward you with a hat. Cadwell and Sheogorath are a joy the first time through. (main quest and mages guild)

There is a story. I can't comment on how good it is, because I didn't realize enjoy the game and only played a few hours.
