  • Really really. The game is being re-released as "The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited" There is the initial purchase of the game ($60 USD), then you can play as much as you want for free. There is a "premium" service that you can purchase in addition to the game if you'd like. There are several time period lengths that you can purchase "premium" time for.

  • Apparently not. Smart move. Console gamers already pay one yearly fee for online gaming. They will probably charge small fees for regular updates though.

  • yep. That's what they changed to. You'll have the typical one big fee up front for the game. Then you can opt in for the "Tamriel Unlimited" package which apparently gets you more of the game, faster, and the DLC for a year. But Destiny has really burned me on purchasing these DLC packages.

  • True. But if the "Tamriel Unlimited" package is a good balance between price and content, it's fair. I think what burned many out on Destiny is that TDB was probably more a $10 DLC than a $20 expansion.

  • Correct. What I should have written was that I'm no longer just blindly purchasing the DLC package at the start. And I fully expect that Bethesda will have more content within their DLC than I will technically ever consume. I didn't ever finish the last two DLC packages associated with skyrim. And that is what I use as a benchmark now for defining value with DLCs.

    And same here. For better or worse, Skyrim has, for me, set the bar for what a full $20 expansion should deliver relative to the $60 base.

  • Oh yes. I still haven't finished Skyrim. (Went back to school, which of course occupied the majority of my non-work time). I should do that…
