If you do not, it is going to be a lot of just running through the world. This can take a long time and is very tedious, even if you have a decently well explored map with wayshrines unlocked all along the way. The earliest stages of the Psijic Order quest has the player running from one end of the massive land of Tamriel to the other over and over again to close rifts in time. The character interactions were all top notch, and the story aspects accompanying it are some of the best in the game so far, but some of the actual questing was less than enjoyable. The questline for the Psijic Order is somewhat of a mixed bag. What Artaeum lacks in size it makes up for in beauty, I spent a lot of time simply walking around admiring the attention to detail and the feeling of separation that the island of Artaeum has within The Elder Scrolls Online.

This is one of the highlights of the environments introduced in Summerset. In addition to gaining their incredibly powerful skill tree, questing for the Psijic Order unlocks access to the island of Artaeum, the island that the order calls home. The Psijic Order skills are built around controlling time, a feature that Summerset encourages players to capitalize on while playing and raiding, allowing you to stop time around you, giving you precious seconds to deal damage, heal or escape from a particularly nasty scenario. Summerset changes this by allowing you to take part in their quests and become a part of their order. The Psijic Order is an ancient group of mages that players have heard of in other Elder Scrolls titles but have had very few opportunities to interact with, and have never been able to play a role in their story.

Even a newcomer to the series will be able to tell you of the history of Summerset, the xenophobia of the High Elves, the magic of the land and the history of the Psijic Order. This is effectively balanced out through incredible story telling and a questline spanning nearly 25 hours. Like Morrowind, it does feel like they rely a bit too heavily on the joy of seeing and exploring these areas from past games, to the point that some of the story components and the joy to be found might be lost on players unfamiliar with Elder Scrolls history.

Summerset has not been visited since the original Elder Scrolls, Arena, so getting to walk around and experience this piece of Elder Scrolls history in a modern engine is a treat for any long time fans of the series. Being in this world feels unique and similar all at the same time. The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset takes place in the land of Summerset, home of the High Elves. Sure, you see them there running around and questing as well, but these expansions can be played by yourself, and played simply to visit the old worlds you remember from previous Elder Scrolls titles. The world is rich and populated, with plenty of quests and story content to discover, all without ever really having to interact with the other players around you. Sure, it has all of the elements that make it an MMORPG, but it also has some amazingly in depth quests and lore in its story. If you are a big Elder Scrolls fan, but did not care to get into Online when it launched you can come in and just play the Morrowind expansion, or just play the Summerset expansion. One of the draws to the expansions for The Elder Scrolls Online is the ability to come in as a new player and immediately start the expansion, with no real handicap. You do have the option to purchase these with Gold as well, but you’ll have to prove that you’re worthy to the residents of each area in order to unlock the right to purchase a home.The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset is the second big expansion for the MMORPG that launched in 2014, and like the outstanding Morrowind expansion that came before it, Summerset proves that this game still has plenty of life and content to offer old and new players alike. There are a lot of options available to players, each with their own unique aesthetic.

With the new Homestead update, The Elder Scrolls Online players can finally purchase their own lodgings.
