The new expansion of The Elder Scrolls Online arrives on our consoles and in Spanish.

8 years after its launch, Bethesda Softworks and Zenimax Online They are still determined to keep improving their MMORPG, The Elder Scrolls Online. After enjoying great extensions like BlackWood or Morrowind, this time, The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle transports us to the Systres archipelago, a group of islands belonging to the Bretons and isolated from the mainland of Tamriel. Although they remained neutral on the War of the Three Bannersa new threat is quickly discovered with Ascending ordera mysterious order of knights whose goal is to play a game of power and turn the tide of the war currently unfolding on the continent.

The main novelties of High Isle are two new companions, which can be obtained quite early in the expansion and can help you progress through the story. The first is embernail you khajit whose abilities focus more on ranged damage, a perfect fit for melee players. Second, we have Isobeland breton knightideal for ranged players as an active companion as it will keep targets at bay.

Has been seized new test for 12 players where we will face dreadsail pirates. It is in the upper left part of the main island and is a challenge to complete with other players. You can enter on your own, like I did, but they soon gave me my hair, so it’s best to always go with people. The rewards

they are worth it for the fights that the test offers. In addition, there are new dungeons, world bosses and events available, as Volcanic Respiratorswhich are timed events. I was surprised that the community is quite friendly in local chat, as it often signals the start of world bosses or events, which is always a good thing. It’s a great way to quickly find teammates to take on the toughest fights.

has been added a new mini-game called Tribute Stories, which can be started in the main town of Gonfalon Bay. It’s a new card game in the world of The Elder Scrolls Online. Once you complete the intro missions, you can queue for games all over the world to compete against other players. You will earn rewards if you win or lose a match, but of course if you win a game you will get more prizes. It’s a great way to earn crafting materials and gold coins.

high island It’s a coastal place, so we’ll see many boats in the waters and we will encounter many coastal threats, such as snakes and crab-like creatures. Of course, we can’t forget the hackers, of course. In the distance there will also be an active volcano, creating the volcanic fumaroles that occur in the main lands and which will make us face lava-based creatures, such as golems and salamanders.

Most of the initial content will keep us close to the town of Gonfalon Bay. As you move further and explore more, we may find additional side quests to expand your exploration of High Island. You are free to play your way, go where you want, and take on whatever quests suit you. I accepted quests when I found them and didn’t leave areas until I completed them all, all to avoid having to go back and forth across the island to turn in a quest.

As for graphic part, to say that the new playable environment is very well done. From caves that you can explore up to open fields full of pretty sunflowers and enemies with cool new designs, so there’s always something to catch your eye. The story of Breton heritage will have more added over time with future content updates, so High Isle, being a starting point for this content, did a great job with the new NPCs and an ever-growing list of characters you can interact with.

I will lie to you: I’m a new player in the ESO communitybut I’m glad there are features that are very suitable for people like me, like the fact that not having to reach a certain level to start new content. This meant that I was able to jump straight into High Isle at a low level and experience the new features available. Players I’ve interacted with in local chats have been very nice and friendly, giving friendly greetings as they pass by or offering to explain and help players. It’s one of the best communities I’ve seen in a game of this type and I definitely want to be a part of it. Another reason why I decided to enter the world of ESO was undoubtedly the inclusion of the requested and expected translation into Spanish

. A translation that has a very good level and that helps us fully enter this magnificent world that is ESO. Our thanks to the people of Bethesda Europe for this excellent work.

With the good comes the bad, mainly the bugs and failures typical of this type of game, many of which were tied to the textures of the characters, for example, when talking to them, or when the characters did not use an object as intended, such as lying under a sofa instead of on it . In addition, facial expressions They could have been a bit more polished, but that’s something the Elder Scrolls series has been dragging around for many years.

I asked some expert players their opinion on High Isle compared to previous content. Overall, I received positive reactions to what was introduced, such as more engaging and polished content than before. Overall, High Isle has delivered great content that keeps fans happy and can hopefully attract new players, also in large part due to the wonderful Spanish translation.

The Elder Scrolls: High Island is now available on consoles Xbox and PC.
