Review

The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road introduces players to an entirely new Daedric Prince, Ithelia, adding a fresh enigma to the rich tapestry of Tamriel's lore. The West Weald, with its lush landscapes and iconic city of Skingrad, is beautifully rendered, transporting players back to the beloved regions of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, now fraught with Daedric incursions and new threats. The game excels in weaving an immersive narrative around the chaos of Ithelia's return and the dark schemes of her followers, making the storyline both compelling and mystifying. However, the lack of early user and critic reviews leaves prospective players in the dark about initial player reactions and potential early-game bugs or balance issues. Additionally, some might find the main questline a tad too linear compared to previous expansions. Nevertheless, 'Gold Road' remains a must-play for fans of The Elder Scrolls universe, promising hours of captivating gameplay amidst treacherous new landscapes.
