How to Play The Elder Scrolls Online WITHOUT ESO Plus

the thing is, it's way easier to play ESO without ESO Plus when you are deeper into the game

if you are new, it's awful without it imo

Yeah yeah I'll give you a like but turn down that f**** Bell that thing's way too loud especially when you got headphones on.

A question from a noob, Skyrim the best mod for me added voice to all notes and books you could find in the world. Is there anything like that for eso?

Maybe u dont play game, its b2p, p2p and p2w simunteusljy? Ofc its gr8 game, i have lot of fun playing, but its have no sense. Make tutorial how get best gear without buying dlc or eso+.

Been playing ESO without plus since launch and my only issue has been inventory space. Especially with crafting materials. Other than that, it has been very playable without it.

I just use bankspace for materials, 1-2 characters for storing most useful set items of gold quality, chests for some furniture and fragments. All other sets i just deconstruct for materials, because you can always reconstruct what you need using transmute station. So, i just collect materials in the bank for 6 months, refill craftbag every eso plus trial, and feel ok with how it works. The only pain is the limit on transmute crystals, 500 isn’t much really. Oh, and furniture limits are also harsh. That’s all😅

I do agree with this game being very annoying when it relates to inventory space UNLESS you pay for eso plus every month. other the that I very much enjoy eso, been playing eight yrs.

Very informative! I think the most crucial element to survive without esoplus is discipline. I’m a hoarder and don’t like to play a logistic simulation game. I open each and every bag, sack, and autoloot all. While the last tip with free weekends help a lot, it still only goes so far.
So, my first two months after a long hiatus was without esoplus. But then I got exhausted from all the inventory juggling.
I know I could do without, but I simply lack the discipline

Thank you for making this video. It helped me a lot because I wasn’t able to buy ESO+. I live in japan and I started playing ESO with XBOX and really like it a lot, but xbox store won’t let me subscribe to ESO+ because I don’t have a credit card with a US address. (I tried to pay with xbox gift card but the store requires me to enter a backup payment plan, which required a valid US credit card)

I searched so many reviews about this ESO Plus, I think your video are the best in explaning things. I almost give up either should I buy the game on Steam or not because of the Plus system that kinda Pay To Win. But I decided to buy it when Steam summer sale begins. 😆

Ty very informative

Very usefull indeed, also great video.

been playing for 2 weeks. already drop 200+$ on this game. now im at the point i will neither go + or quit. biggest problem is 2 of my friends that started the game with me both quit because of this bag bs, feel so bad to trash so many stuff that u know u might need later only to find out u do indeed need them

Do you know how to get a refund on eso plus on pc?

One of the biggest eso scam has to be eso+. The only useful thing here is the crap bag. They say it’s optional but it’s really forceful when every move you make in game gives you crafting mats which takes up all your inventory space in minutes. Other than that, what? DLC access that is no longer useful once you’ve already purchased everything? double bank space? Little to nothing Gold and exp bonus? Players should be getting way more than what is being offered. You could have just played subscription based mmos like wow and ffxiv.

The only thing that kept me in the game is my love for the tes franchise in general. My 3 months eso+ sub has just expired. I’m done.

Let's face it for a moderatly serious player is nearly impossible to live witout the bag. And yes you can pass 1/5 of your playtime doing inventory managment good luck with it ^^

i will never uso plus i might as well buy dlc with that money

So, you can play the whole content without TESO plus?

How about without ps plus

what's the music in background ?

Waht about the story quest. I just need to know whether i need to buy eso plus or not?

lol no is just bc i got it on epic games for free

to be honest don't download the game even if it is free if you don't have the DLCs basically you will not play the game you will not have anything to do in the game you cannot follow any guides you cannot follow anything to do and no one can tell me else the video is helpful yes but for me it is just naive for people to play the game and the game tell you if you wanted to play it you need to pay money 100% you will need to pay to get the DLCs and no one can tell you else
thank you for the video it is actually good video

If i get ESO Plus and then i stop using it, do i keep the content i got like a membership in the thieves guild and some more dlc stuff or i automatically lose all of that including the aditional skills and maps?

Housing storage is shared amongst all characters. So its +60 storage per account instead of +60 per character.

I'd pay $60/yr for ESO Plus. Would've paid $300 upfront for 5 years of it in 2016-2017, but not now.

This sounds really cool, it makes me feel like I only need to buy it like once or twice a year* if learn to manage my space and use the free days.

I love ESO but I'd like it to come out for android or switch

You have such a playback voice

I already paid for the game, i have absolutely no intention of paying for any kind of "subscribtion".
I stick to questing, i don't care about anything else, everything else other than questing is deliberately designed to waste your time, crafting especially.
The only reason i bought it it's because it's Elder Scrolls and i love Elder Scrolls, otherwise i wouldn't be caught dead playing any mmo, i despise them

Nice video, just realized I don't want to spend energy playing a inventory management game. This is BS

Was thinking of getting this game but it seems like alot of work for a little fun, thanks for helping me. Now I won't waste my money buying the game.

Best to get bank henchi, or special collectible, keep crafting loot there.
Don't pick up all food, but flour and inssa glass should be kept.
Best to loot urns rather than barrels, since urns sometimes have motiff's but barrels usually have rice or seaweed with my luck.
Watch out for white crafting items that are unusual or rare, you may want to save or at least stack in a storage tote.
You can get storage containers for home from tel var stones or writs, writs seem faster way, but not cheap.
In a Dungeon DO NOT auto loot everything, be selective and NOTICE: each dungeon may have a grey item trash around 9gold, but they stack so you may want to keep it till the end of the dungeon, and sell to merchant companion if you have to collect anything at the end.
People leave shortly after dungeon, but you can ask someone to stay or pull out merchant henchi and let people know, so they can sell a bit also.

Thanks for the tips, I've been playing this for a few years but I'm from Argentina and they recently dollarized Steam prices and the price of ESO plus is out of my possibilities. Before the price was quite affordable and I had it from the beginning so now I'm basically learning to play again haha

This is one of the reasons why i dont play this game any longer. I dont support that you have to pay for a subscription only to have the convinience with the umlimited inventory.

25 likes 🤭 thanks for everything you left behind for newbies like me, best of luck going forward!

I have been playing for 11 days and I love ESO plus. I couldn’t play without it.

I think It is ZOS business model , you buy chapter on steam and you buy eso+ stacking material and use crown from eso+ to buy DLC . -=-

I give up. This is not worth the hassle.

I know this vid is a year old, but thank you for the advice. Just picked up ESO as a treat for myself (bought standard instead of an upgraded version, so now it's just base game + Morrowind, woops lol) but financially, I just can't justify upgrading more or a monthly sub. Sometimes I feel like breaking down and just "doing it" but I remember that I just can't (as silly as it sounds). It sucks having to work around playing games and money, but I see lots of people here who manage to do it, so I'm hoping it won't make me feel like quitting. :) Thank you again! I feel way better about my decision.

I miss your ESO videos. You had a different angle than the meta videos. Thanks.

I had a full inventory within like 12 minutes in Kinthari's Roost

i mean, cant you just completely ignore the crafting completely?

How can a video game company charge its players a subscription fee and not allow them to have a more consequent inventory? It's the only mmo to do this kind of thing.

it sounds like a problem caused by design and thats an absolutely no-go.
waisting time to sorting inventory and to reshift materials into other material is also not respecting the time i have as a player...
what else am i missing?

The only way to experience this game is having the funds to invest into it. Very hard sell but I would periodically comeback a free player. Wasn’t until most recent expansion Gold road I bought expansion plus previous ones for $30 then esp plus for $15 a month. So if you’re willing to invest at least that much the game opens up into a mind boggling amount of content. It’s the best elder scrolls game because it’s like a modern arena of course with a lot less rpg elements but the exploration is insane

Video lacks info on quests, DLCs etc. There’s loads of content to buy and it’s crucial to know what to buy, what run on free weekends.

Why are you advertising all the ESO+ stuff in a video about how to play without it, are you sponsored? That's like those money making guides telling you the nr 1 option is to buy it from the store.
