While there are a few clipping bugs here and there, its relative minor considering the complexity of this world. Graphically, The Elder Scrolls Online Blackwood is just as amazing as the last expansion Greymoor, however the Deadlands are a stark contrast and relate well to the Prince of Destruction and his demonic army, including the city of Gideon plus the equally impressive Leyawiin. Regular players will just jump straight into it. The control system works well on the DualSense controller and again, those new to the series will have a steeper learning curve in mastering the levelling system but if you’re familiar with MMORPG’s, or RPG’s for that matter, you should have no issues. So as you explore, go on quests, side-quests and become involved in the political turmoil of this broken world, you’ll encounter a wide assortment of enemies as you hack, shoot and magically blast your way through those who challenge you. Furthermore, the Oblivion portals add to the unpredictability of this well-made expansion. Thankfully there is new weapons, armour and other equipment to help you succeed along your perilous journey, not to mention help from other players. The other great aspect about these new companions is that they have their own gear and level-up with the player and you can even build a rapport with them as they react to your words and actions.Īnother highlight of this game, besides it being available for next-gen consoles (PS5, XSX) is that while it is built on the existing The Elder Scrolls Online engine and universe, this expansion feels like its own game and while it will be familiar to returning players, the new areas are also vastly different such as the hellish Deadlands tainted by Mehrunes Dagon which is where this new installment shines, not to mention the new characters that you encounter, both good and evil. However with that said, there are some areas that must be completed as a group if you want your character to survive and no, companions cannot be used as additional force in these circumstances. If you do decide you would prefer a solo adventure, your player does have access to NPC’s or companions called Bastian Hallix, a magic-user and Mirri Elendis, an assassin who can be beneficial when you enter a more difficult area or just need some virtual company.

The main antagonist of this expansion is Mehrunes Dagon, the Prince of Destruction and his army who know pose a very real threat to the denizens of Tamriel.
