My boyfriend is a pretty big Elder Scrolls Online fan. Personally, while I’ve found them interesting I never actually played one. Despite that, I like MMOs and I like playing with him so I decided to join him in Elder Scrolls Online. We participated in Beta sessions and even pre-ordered so we got to start the Early Access today which actually caught us offguard–we were expecting it to start tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it immediately started with some issues due to the not being able to Zoom in… I was eventually able to work it out (even if I had to change her last name slightly) thankfully. <\/p>\n

I’m hoping the spawn rates will be better–that was probably the biggest issue I had with the Beta. Well, that and people being able to steal your chest when you fail to lockpick <\/3 I'M STILL NEW AT IT, OKAY?! But yeah, I like being able to go around and collect things randomly--not too fond of having to compete with people to do so (as you don't really have to in the games), but oh well. \n\nFor now, I'll just be a cute Breton in the Ebonheart Pact and enjoy the cute pets I got from pre-ordering. I'll write more when I'm done stalking the starter area for everything. \n\nWas pretty sad to not see a Restoration Staff be an option now though :(\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
