Any time I felt it necessary to make a quick change to one of my skills, all I had to do was use that ability or item more often. But to master these skills, you actually have to use them, and that opens up interesting gameplay variety. You’ll pick between four main types of characters, and each has a clearly defined skill set associated with it. For one, it tosses out standard character classes in favor of a more dynamic system.
It’s fortunate, then, that as an MMO, ESO can stand proudly on its own. That’s a welcome change from grinding for super-rare drops during high-level raids. So far the best items in the game are ones that have been lovingly crafted by players. Weapons and armor can have specific traits that will boost their damage or enchantment effect, but if you want to make items with those traits you’ll need to research them. You still need to hunt down material components, but making items and improving them isn’t a guaranteed success. One of the best pieces of Elder Scrolls Online is the crafting.
