I've played Skyrim for almost 12 years now, and I've never given an "honest" try of The Elder Scrolls Online (even though it's "technically" the newest Elder Scrolls game). Every time I try to play it, I always end up putting it down just as fast.

I've always heard ESO has some great storytelling and Elder Scrolls content. So I've decided to play it like a "singleplayer" game this time around; using immersive settings and taking a slower pace. To ensure I abide by these rules, I'm also locking myself in each ESO zone until it's 100% complete.

Here are the rules:
- I am not allowed to leave each respective zone until it's 100% complete.
- The entire zone guide for each area must be complete; not just the basic map checklist.
- All achievements in the zone guide must be earned regardless if it can be done solo or not.

    Hey man this was amazing to watch. My name is Michael Zenke, and I'm a writer on ESO. I was actually the writer for Auridon ten years ago, and it was absolutely incredible to watch someone take the story and our choices so seriously ten years later. Great points and very fairly argued, and it was a hoot to watch. I hope you keep going, lots of fun content across Tamriel and I'd be fascinated to hear other analysis like this!
  • @Nahlot_Sunvaar
    This could easily end up being one of the best ESO series on youtube, good stuff
  • You studied carefully, you put in the research, you explained the results carefully. Perfect format. Great video. Liked. Keep it up!
  • @shinobi197
    If you are seriously going to cover 100% of 10+ years of content this is gonna be a great series. I did all these things 9 years ago on my main crafter then never again with any alts, since its much easier to just go to every zone and do the group event on public dungeons for skill points.
  • @Ilzhain
    This is how my friend and I have been playing eso, 100%ing each region before moving onto the next in release order. We just recently got up to the Morrowind DLC and are still enjoying ourselves playing for a couple hours most nights

    10 hours in realizing "Estme" is actually "Estre". My bad... Edit 1: Thank you guys for all the positive feedback. I really poured my heart into this and I've got 8 new subscribers which is amazing! Edit 2: Wow, I did not expect this kind of attention. I am so grateful to everyone who decided to stop by. I went from 640 subscribers to almost 1,000 in less than 2 days. I can't thank you enough. I've tried to reply to every comment possible! Thank you so much for all the feedback and love you've shared; I'm glad this video found the right people :) Edit 3: I have received over 15,400 pieces of bait... I am speechless. I know it's not probably "glamourous" but the fact that 10 people reached out to me to help me out has me very grateful of this community. Thank you all so much, I'll make sure to give a proper shoutout next video!

    Its been at least 7 years since I was in Auridon. Sped through it to get XP and don't remember a shred of it. Even if I don't have plans to pick it up again it's cool to see how it looks from someone taking their time. ESO really is such a huge world and I do regret how I (& 90% of players) ignore the most important parts of the game just to get to endgame the fastest. Great video man, the editing really kept me on my toes and interested
  • @chryses7565
    Cant remember last time ive seen a ESO video with this much effort put in it figures you're from the Skyrim community lol pretty rare we get videos of this caliber on ESO cuz people say its bad
  • @Willian-ql8qx
    I'll be 100% watching this ENTIRELY. Good content, keep it up.
  • @xvrype4348
    Awesome video! In a content landscape that mostly consists of "Is it worth playing" or "GODMODE" recycled build videos, this is a breath of fresh air. Can't wait for the next video in the series (especially Vvardenfell)👍
  • @yarikcreative
    It's a cool idea, but maybe reconsider 100%-ing fishing. It will break you, my man.
  • @danhensley
    Very well edited video and I love the premise. Looking forward to more videos in this series!
  • I appreciate the effort you've put into this video! I occasionally find myself craving ESO content and it's hard to find good videos. thanks big dawg♥️
  • @sgtgefmongoose
    Well written, well narrated - awesome job man. I dont know what algorithm gods put your video on my feed but you def got my subsciption. Keep it up - I hope this is the series that makes your channel take off!
  • @Bobbyxton
    Never heard of you before. Not watched your content. But this was so enjoyable! Havent played Skyrim in years but play ESO and found this so good.
  • @IamSkrapp
    Subbed and honestly looking forward to the future of this series. The flow and chill vibes you have going is a great watch before bed. I personally don't play ESO anymore, but I really enjoy the lore and I am sure by the end of it all, you will be a lore master indeed.
  • @Werliboi
    This video was wonderful. I really hope you make a series out of this because I loved every second of it. You have a beautiful mind for storytelling. fantastic job
  • @want2bfrst75
    This is singlehandedly one of the coolest ideas for a series ive seen in all of youtube. It was a joy to watch, and I think the objective overlook on the zone as a whole is such a neat idea, and im very excited to see more. goodluck with the rest of your journey in eso, and ill be on the lookout for more videos.
