BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
The latest chapter of The Elder Scrolls’ online saga is out right now, bringing players into the High Isle and kicking off a brand new tale of intrigue.
The politic of fantasy
Because you don’t have enough politics in every facet of your life already, Bethesda has a bit of political intrigue set up for your latest Elder Scrolls Online adventure. To be fair though, this new addition is much more likely to be a good time than the real thing.
The High Isle Chapter is set to significantly expand the game’s world too. Not just story content, the DLC adds in a new area and lots more for fans to dig into.
Here’s your rundown:
This never-before-seen Elder Scrolls world is home to a brand-new Elder Scrolls story which focuses on political intrigue. The lands of High Isle present the perfect getaway destination for alliance delegates to take on peace talks that would put an end to the Three Banners War. While the summit is hosted by the noble Society of the Steadfast, players should beware of The Ascendant Order and their chaotic motives. ESO’s more than 20 million players will experience an island paradise steeped in medieval culture and architecture, complete with magnificent castles and exciting tournament grounds.
A previously unexplored region, the Systres Archipelago takes inspiration from the beautiful, windswept shores of the Mediterranean. Here lies the stunning world of High Isle, home of the Bretons, descendants of both humans and elves. The social elite live in the feudalistic society of Gonfalon Bay, the center point of all political dealings on High Isle. Above all, ruthlessness is a virtue here, so players will have to watch their backs!
Bethesda press release
Along with the above, Bethesda is also adding in a High Isle pastime with Tales of Tribute. A card game, players can use the new game in the game to build resources, as well as rank, and even get furnishings and transmute stones. Want more? You can even advance a storyline by playing against NPCs. Of course, you can play against live humans as well, which could be interesting.
As mentioned, High Isle is out now for the PC edition of The Elder Scrolls Online, along with the Mac and Stadia versions. Consoles will get their expansion on June 21st.
