History of TESO: Summerset
The addon is positioned as a story addon, that is, its main component is history, travel to new places and the passage of quests. In this sense, it is not the most ordinary MMORPG, because the creators of the game really the fact that TES is a purely "single-coil franchise". The only fundamental difference is that quests can be completed with friends.
The story tells how the inhabitants of Alinor began to receive guests for the first time in history. As you know, in the third era, the high elves led the Aldmeri Dominion, which, in addition to the "titular" race, included 2 more peoples - the wood elves and the Khajiit (Kajiit). Queen Ayrenn issued a decree to open the borders.
The idea is to "lure" all other races into the Dominion. Of course, the ancient elven nobility did not approve of the queen's edict. Alinorians have always considered themselves superior to other Tamrielans, and if racism can be imagined in fantasy, Summerset is its cradle. The protagonist joins a small circle of royal agents investigating a palace conspiracy ...
Complex plot
Immediately after getting out of the time-space trap. In Summerset, the developers have changed the initial quest line again. If the main character escaped from slavers, now he is a century-old prisoner of a certain entity that calls itself K'Tora.
The aimless wandering of the character through the nooks of his own consciousness was interrupted by the visit of a representative of the Psijic Order. She helps to recover after hibernation and releases into the world. It all starts quite harmlessly - the character runs on small errands for the Khajiit Razum-dara, trying to overcome the endless everyday hatred of the elves for strangers.
Somewhere it is even justified, but basically it is the fruit of the activities of a radical group, which not only hangs around with the princes of Daedra, but also intends to seize the capital of Summerset. Gradually, the plotline of the conspiracy begins to intersperse with the more sinister story of K'Tora and other evil monsters that threaten both Alinor and all of Tamriel.The creators of The Elder Scrolls: Summerset were once again able to create a complex storyline that you won't see in every single player game, and even more so in MMOs. The main quest chain will take 8-10 hours to complete and tell a great story in the spirit of the TES series. The problem is that adherents of classic MMORPGs may not appreciate the depth of the plot, because they are interested in other content of the add-on.
New province - Summerset
The addition is notable for the choice of location. The Elder Scrolls have wanted Summerset for years, and now it's finally possible. The Elder Scrolls used to be appreciated by fans for the opportunity to visit almost all provinces, but now there are even more choices. The new location is the large Summerset Isle.
Previously, players could only get to Auridon - a small island in the neighborhood, which for many years acted as a kind of "buffer" zone between the house of the high elves, where access to outsiders is closed, and settlements of other races. Summerset is twice the size of Aurion and has its own unique flora and fauna. For example, only here griffins are found - the most dangerous flying predators.
The entire territory can be conditionally divided into 6 districts, each of which has a city, a set of side quests and interesting places to visit. Here and there you can find ancient ruins, bandits' camps, waystones, mini-dungeons and other locations that will help the character gain experience and get new equipment. The plot will have to look into almost every corner of Summerset.
Psijic Order
It is one of the most mysterious organizations operating in Tamriel. Long ago, the Psijic Order united magic monks trying to understand the essence of the universe. Long ago, the Psijics came to the conclusion that they needed solitude, and with a light movement of their hand moved their headquarters, and at the same time the whole island of Artaeum, into a parallel reality.
In The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset, they returned because they felt a great threat to the whole world was approaching. Actually, one of the Psijics saves the player's character from the mental captivity of K'Tor. Subsequently, the player will meet with the monks more than once and will even receive an invitation to their order, which will open access to a new group of skills.
All of them are aimed at manipulating time and matter. For example, the Undo spell allows you to move a few seconds back in time, "rewinding" the state of the character's parameters. This helps to get out of even the most difficult situations. For example, when in PvP a character receives "procast" from an opponent player. However, in PvE, the skill is used to restore mana and stamina.
Another skill called Time Stop places the enemy in a time bubble, slowing down or even stopping their movement. Great for simplifying raid battles when a group is forced to fight multiple dangerous foes. And the Meditate skill is a real gift in PvE, allowing you not to wait for health and mana recovery after a battle.
Membership in the Order does not provide answers to many questions that plague fans. The developers decided to keep the intrigue and arranged everything so that the main character, although he becomes a formal member of the group, but does not have access to their holy of holies, remaining by and large a field agent who does not have to know a lot and his "bosses".
Jewelry making
Artisans have some new features too with the release of The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset. Finally, you can "craft" not only armor and weapons, but also luxury items - rings, amulets and all sorts of pendants.
Yes, earlier such things could be enchanted, but now adherents of jewelry can create rings with predetermined properties.
Of course, for this you will have to look for special ingredients - rare metals, precious stones and magical reagents. Many of them can be found only in the most dangerous corners of Tamriel, but the opportunity to strengthen your character with 2 powerful rings and one amulet is worth it. Now, at the launch of the add-on, the services of experienced jewelers are very expensive, so you can make good money!
New raid and other challenges
Why do you need a cool "gear" if you don't go anywhere in it? Summerset has a brand new raid set in the village of Cloudrest. A special secret police force of the high elves was forced to evacuate the entire population of this city after it was under the influence of a spell that turned living creatures into bloodthirsty monsters.
Like other raids, the Cloudrest mess is designed for a large group of players (12 people) and for a few hours of play. During this time, you can deal with several side bosses, meet with the boss Velkinar. Interestingly, the raid also has a plot component: as you progress through, you can learn more about the forces that control the villain and his minions.
As a reward for passing, characters will be able to receive parts of 4 new sets of armor and weapons, and in the end, players even get a choice - to remove the enchantment and return Velkinar's mind or kill him, putting an end to his atrocities. By and large, this choice doesn't affect anything, but it's still great to watch the squabbles in the chat, when the raid participants can't decide how to end the story of Cloudrest's crisis.
For those players who are not yet ready to fight in high-level opponents, the developers have in store other types of activity: new public dungeons, world bosses and one classic dungeon Abyssal Geysers. The latter came out interesting, but short. Especially considering that this is the only full-fledged "dungeon" in the entire expansion.
The plot comes first
Summerset is hard to compete with the previous major add for The Elder Scrolls Online. The Morrowind update not only brought players back to the unusual island of Vvardenfell, which gamers loved so much after the release, but also provided more content. For example, then a new class appeared in the game, and along with it several new skills with their own "skills" appeared.
Summerset costs 1399 rubles on Steam, which is the price of a good single player game. And, suddenly, the addon is exactly what it is, because in the foreground the developers have it is the plot and adventures in the world of "The Elder Scrolls". Of course, the DLC also has other content: a new raid, dungeons, Psijic skills, jewelry making and a large area to explore. Unfortunately, the Russian localization was not added again, so you will have to install the patch with the fan translation again.
In honor of your birthday, for each daily task you will be given a box with a reward, which will contain various crafting materials, nirnrux, pages of motives, including those available only in Vvardenfell, the Horns of the Reach and Clockwork City dungeons, as well as pages with inspired by the all-new Worm Cult style found only in Anniversary gift boxes.

Alls Fair The Rothalens have fallen on hard times. Sarisa has designs on Bar-Neeus stall in the central market. I need to search Bar-Neeus tent and report back to Sarisa with my findings.Dialogues
Sarisa Rothalen: The giant left us little more than our lives. We have no wares and no coin to rebuild. My mother is too proud to admit it, but this may be the end for us.
Hero: Sounds grim. Can I help?
Sarisa Rothalen: Perhaps. I hear the merchant Bar-Neeus may be peddling illegal goods in the central market. If this could be proved, he "d be ruined and we would take his place.
Hero: But howto prove it?
Sarisa Rothalen: Go to the central market and search Bar-Neeus "tent. Look for anything he might be hiding. Report back to me with your findings.
Hero: I "ll look into it.
Sarisa Rothalen: Some of the guards are willing to help us, but they need an excuse. If you search Bar-Neeus "s stall, you might find illegal wares. My family would be in your debt.
Hero: Why single out Bar-Neeus?
Sarisa Rothalen: We offer the same goods. By eliminating him, we claim a prime location and remove a direct competitor.
Hero: Goodbye.
Sarisa Rothalen: You "re back. Tell me you found something!
Hero: I didn "t spot anything illegal.
Sarisa Rothalen: He "s clever, I" ll give him that. He "s making too much money not to be doing something shady. I think we can help open the authorities" eyes.
Hero: I "m with you. What" s the plan?
Sarisa Rothalen: Place this flask of Altmer golden pear ale in Bar-Neeus "s supply chest and then notify Guard Bronorr at the Fighters Guild. You" ll be rewarded well when it "s all over.
Hero: Why would that cause trouble for Bar-Neeus?
Sarisa Rothalen: Don "t you know? It" s illegal to sell goods from the Dominion or Covenant here. And black marketeers are dealt with harshly, in Riften at least.
Hero: Goodbye.
Bar-Neeus: Not a surprising plot from a Dunmer, especially that one. Sarisa would rather lie and steal than accept charity. Allow me to express my gratitude in coin.
Hero: What about Sarisa?
Bar-Neeus: The spine of welcome is more effective than that of threat. Deliver this package to Sarisa. I choose to extend friendship when others express hatred.
Hero: Goodbye.
Sarisa Rothalen: ls it done? Have the guards taken him away? I didn "t hear any commotion.
Hero: I told Bar-Neeus of your scheme. He gave me a package for you.
Sarisa Rothalen: A package from Bar-Neeus? Is it revenge? But no-it "s supplies and gold. He has shamed me! I" ll take his gift for my family, but I "ll never forgive him for it!
Hero: Complete Quest.
The purpose of this review is not a desire to "spoil", but a desire to show what quests the developers are ready to offer players. We would not pay attention to him if he was not so interesting and did not get out of the usual framework of MMORPG quests.
This is a true story. With love, betrayal, revenge and nobility. A story in which the player himself becomes a participant.
Of course, you shouldn't assume that every quest you encounter in TESO will be like this one. But the fact that such quests are found in the game at all means a lot. Meeting at least one such quest for a location is already very good for an MMORPG.
However, we warn you: THIS BLOG IS CLEAN SPOILER ONE QUEST IN !!! If you don't want to see a spoiler, don't read this news!
So this is the covenant quest. You can get it by meeting a boy by the road, running along this very road from the first city to the north.
The guy says that he inherited real estate - some ruins ... And now he was expecting that his life would turn out for the better. He had just found the lands behind him, and he recognized them from his father's diary. He cannot understand why their family left this place and why it was kept secret from him.
But this place is haunted and chills him. There are a lot of imps around. And the whisper ... He terrifies him and warns him to stay away.
But this place now belongs to him and no disembodied voice will make him turn back!
You offer him help. He says that although this place looks like ruins, it belongs to his family and in fact is all that he has left. He asks to search the ruins and understand why this place is cursed and what can be done about it. Should I call a priest to perform the ritual? He does not know, this is the first time he is faced with such a thing. You agree, but you ask why not send his guards there? But the ghosts do not let them there ...
You ask if he knows what the ghosts are angry about? He replies that they asked him why his father was such a bastard. And he doesn't know what that could mean. And the voice also said that this place no longer belongs to him.
Then we go to explore the ruins:
The first in the pile of trash is the broken amulet / necklace. You pick it up and ghosts appear: a man and a girl, they talk: A man gives the girl a necklace and says that it is to his mother, who said to give it to the woman who will become his wife. Well, the girl is delighted: "Is this what I think about? This is the happiest day in my life!
Then he finds the diary of a girl (Claudie). The ghost of the girl who writes this very diary and her reasoning appears again. There are beautiful words about love, that their love is for some reason forbidden, but soon the man plans to tell his parents about their love.
Further in the ruins we find a bloody tunic ... Three ghosts reappear: the girl kneels imploringly, in front of her is a formidable evil woman in a two-handed ax. The man stands aside and does not look at them. The woman accuses the girl of stealing the necklace, the girl assures that this necklace was presented to her by her son, since they love each other and were about to get married. The woman does not believe and say that her son would never give jewelry to some servant ... The girl asks the man to confirm the words ... And he says that she has overworked and therefore fantasized everything ... The woman promises that the girl will imprisoned forever in the tower.
Then we go up to that very tower and find a note from this poor girl. The note says:
“I never told him, I wanted to surprise him after our love was blessed. But it never will. And Maris will never know about our child.
Now he will never know about it. I can’t believe his betrayal. He could not stand up against his mother, even when it depended on saving the life of the woman he loved. He didn't say a word and left me to rot in this tower. I will never trust their family again.
I thought to call the guards and tell them the truth. But I don't want my child to grow up and become one of their family. I cannot let this happen.
I'm dying. I pray to anyone. who can hear my prayer. I do not expect an answer, but I want my death to be avenged. Someday, someday. I'll make the Belborns pay. "
We return to the guy to tell everything. During this time, something happened. He says that after you entered the ruins, he thought that the spirits had fallen asleep and followed, but a monstrous force threw them away.
You tell him that a girl who died here after the betrayal of his father became a ghost. Well, the boy is indignant and asks to tell the ghost that he is not his father and is not involved in her death. Do you advise him that it might be easier to leave this place? The guy was against and said that the Belborns never abandoned their property. Asks to come to an agreement with the ghost, summon it or something like that. He does not know how to do this and advises to go to the guild of magicians and find a book on summoning there.
We find a book, read it and then a new character appears with whom we need to talk. He says that the summoning ritual is a dangerous thing and his master called to dissuade you, let everything remain as it is. The master asked for help with the appeal, so that you could see everything yourself and understand why the curse should not be lifted.
When asked why this is so, he says that words are not suitable for an explanation. Encourages you to think carefully about the answer to your question and asks to name the name of the ghost that we will call to confirm that we can really do this. There are three names to choose from. But we all, of course, have already forgotten how we forgot it and the wrong option was chosen =)
He laughed at us "You cannot remember a simple thing, but you are trying to find a spell whose essence you do not even understand! My master withdraws his offer of help. You must find a way to summon a ghost yourself."
But at the same time he says that it is best to start the search from the mine behind the cathedral, which previously served as a family tomb, explains his desire to help - with personal motives ...
In the mines, we perform some simple action and the ghost of that very girl appears in front of us.
She is hysterical, says that we do not understand what we are doing, we do not understand what she lost in order to take revenge on the Belborns She lost ... her child ... Briefly recounts what happened, she said to pray that she was not born yet child. And someone answered? You do not understand. Akatosh, Daedra - it doesn't matter, as long as the child is alive!
So what happened?
I made a deal. My revenge has been accomplished. I saved the child. The Belborns lost everything: their wealth and their lands. I felt that the child was no longer in me. And she smelled smoke, heard screams of horror. The deal is done.
We say that the Belborns have changed and it is time to forgive them.
The girl says that the Belborns never change and the curse in the waterfall will keep their family out of the ruins forever.
We ask, what will happen if the curse is broken?
She says that you cannot do this, because the owner will then kill her child and she does not believe that we can do this.
Now we have a choice: go make the boy get out of there, or break the curse. The streamer decided to drive the guy away, so what would have happened otherwise - I don't know.
We approach the boy, explain that his father and grandmother were tough people and deserve a curse. The guy resists again, says that it was many years ago and asks for help. He says that his mother gave him guards to clear the place and his guards will kill anyone who gets in their way.
Here we are again offered a choice, either to insist on our own, or still go to destroy the curse.
We insist on our own, and the guy says that he will leave for now - it's unbearable from the ghosts, and he advises me to run away ... We end the dialogue, his guards attack us, the guy runs away somewhere. We kill the guards - we run in the footsteps of the guy. We resort to the cliff. The ghost of that very girl is standing by the cliff ...
She says that any Belborn who dares to return the land will fall. We ask what happened here. She says this is Belborn's heir ... Can't be her son. And what should have happened happened. The Belborn heir ran headlong and leaped from the first cliff. You know, she never asked the owner what happened to her child. And it's good that she doesn't know anything. She thanks for the help and hopes that her child will grow up with the same notions of honor that you have demonstrated.
The intrigue is that it is still impossible to fully understand whether this guy was her son or not ...
Here is such a side quest can be found in TESO.
