ESO: Gold Road boasts an exceptionally well-written storyline, a compelling main character, scenic landscapes, and a World Event worth sinking your teeth into. However, the Scribing system feels incomplete but has the potential to become a useful mechanic with time and effort.

A solid chapter with a beautiful new territory to explore, but an story less interesting / surprising than Nekrom chapter.

With scribing, the developers have brought a sophisticated system into the game that, on the one hand, does not influence the current game balance too much, but gives the player some freedom and space to experiment. “Gold Road” also impresses with many funny side missions and a large scope.

Ein bisschen länger, als sonst, liegt aber daran, dass es die ganze Geschichte der letzten paar Expansionen zu Ende bringt. Die Nebenmissionen sind etwas länger. Tolle Charaktere, schöne Grafik!

Its just by far the best mmorpg around. i was sceptical at first, cause i dont particulary like TES. Its not a asia - grinder and leveling is always fun. the combat is really nice. its rather simple compared to other games, but its fun and good for new players. the only issue i have, is the questmarkers. ist sometime hard to follow and to now where you gotta go. qualitywise its on the same level as WoW

The DLC is not bad, but the story is a bit short and not as captivating as usual.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road is a worthy addition to the ever-expanding game. The Scribing feature is a great addition for players who want to customize their character's abilities and the Mirrormoor Incursions help make the world feel alive. While these newly-added features help set Gold Road apart from the previous expansions, it does fall into the trap that many annual expansions are prone to where it does feel like the new features are marking off items on a checklist. Gold Road is a good addition to The Elder Scrolls Online, but after eight expansions in ten years, each expansion starts to feel like it is treading familiar ground, even with the well-done new features.

The great quality of the narrative, as well as the artistic and gaming sectors of Gold Road demonstrate that the development team really cares a lot about the MMO and Tamriel itself. West Wald is a beautiful, varied location full of quests, loot and secrets suitable, as always, for everyone: from level 1 up to the maximum allowed in TESO. However, even if this update had only contained the Scribing mechanic it would still have been worth grabbing, as it is so important and fun to use it in both PVE and PVP dynamics. What else can we say? It's truly a perfect time to start an adventure in Tamriel, or to return to visit after being away for a while: the past is the past, the present is "golden", and the future is exciting.

Gold Road combines beautiful scenery and great storytelling with an interesting but grind-heavy scribing system.

Like Ithelia, The Elder Scrolls Online has many paths ahead of it, and it’ll be interesting to see which they take in the next decade of operation. That said, it’s a beautiful zone with some incredible quests, and the world and story boss encounters are some of the best in the ten-year history of the MMO. However, the package as a whole falls short of being great overall, especially with its tentpole feature feeling lackluster out of the gate.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road ultimately left me disappointed. It has certainly paved the way for more dynamic gameplay and interesting battle mechanics, but the shallow storyline and lamentable writing was hard for me to look past.

Same boring template they use for all areas. All quests are designed around wasting your time and they all feel like chores. This new update isn't anything new or exciting. This game isn't worth any of your time or money. Too many poor decisions has ruined a promising game from launch.

Just another recycled expansion that offers nothing new but requires you to spend weeks grinding easy, boring, repetitive bosses so you can compete with other players already who did the same. What an original idea to add yet another grind on top of the 8 existing ones before a character can do end game content.
