The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Edition

About

The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Edition is a large online RPG where you explore the vast world of Tamriel solo or with others. Choose your class and tackle quests, dungeons, and world events while leveling up gear and skills. The Gold Edition includes four major expansions adding new zones like the frostbitten Wrothgar region and sun-scorched Hew’s Bane. Each expansion introduces unique storylines such as aiding Orcs in rebuilding their city or infiltrating a guild of thieves. Combat blends fast-paced action with strategic skill builds, and players can join faction wars or test their skills in player versus player battles. This game thrives on its massive player community and persistent world design. With over 20 million players since launch, Tamriel feels constantly alive with events and interactions. The expansions extend the core story, offering fresh content that shifts between political intrigue and supernatural threats. A key draw is the flexibility to play solo or in groups, with endgame raiding and PvP options for dedicated players. The world’s scale and depth hold up over time, supported by regular updates and seasonal events.

Storyline

The game is set on the continent of Tamriel during the Second Era, but not all places in Tamriel are playable. The events of the game occur a millennium before those of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and around 800 years before The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Its structure is broadly similar to Skyrim, with two separate conflicts progressing at the same time, one with the fate of the world in the balance, and one where the prize is supreme power on Tamriel. In The Elder Scrolls Online, the first struggle is against the Daedric Prince Molag Bal, who is attempting to meld the plane of Mundus with his realm of Coldharbour, and the second is to capture the vacant imperial throne, contested by three alliances of the mortal races. The player character has been sacrificed to Molag Bal, and Molag Bal has stolen their soul, the recovery of which is the primary game objective.
