Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

How free is elder scrolls? Do you need a bunch of expansion packs and a subscription too?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

There's a lot of content to play as a free player. For me the most important thing the subscription offers is the unlimited crafting material bag. You don't need it but if you want to be a crafter it will be painful without it. Three classes and bunch of content is behind expansion packs.. all of which you can unlock by buying the current "collection" version which includes all the previous expansions also and goes for like 60 bucks..

If you enjoy ESO then the free version is a trap as buying the ESO + expansions pack is much cheaper than buying all the expansions.
You don't need the expansions to try out the game, nor a sub.

AFAIK, you can play the base game for free, no subscription needed. That said, there is a subscription that buys you a better user experience, and once you run out of content you'll have to purchase the expansions.
