I was invited to join an event that is happening this weekend but sadly due to some circumstances I’m unable to attend. But, that doesn’t mean I can’t do what the gaming community does best, theorize. This weekend Bethesda/Zenimax is hosting BE3, a showcase for all Bethesda and Zenimax games. Basically, a small version of QuakeCon two days prior to the official door openings for the Electronic Entertainment Expo.

As a part of our ongoing Inside ESO content, we’ve begun a new regular column devoted to the community’s own creativity: the Elder Scrolls Online Community Class Builds. This week, we asked you all to submit your best ideas for an assassin-themed build, and while we received a load of great entries, one truly stood out: TheLegitFreeman’s Hidden Viper.

Players on PC and Mac will be able to get started with the big Elder Scrolls Online DLC ‘Dark Brotherhood’. The new content takes players to the Gold Coast and sees them join up with the assassins’ guild. ESO Plus members receive the DLC as part of the membership package or it can be purchased separately for 2,000 Crowns in the ESO Crown Store.

As a part of our Inside ESO series, we’re looking for your best Elder Scrolls Online class builds! We’ll be partnering with Zenimax Online to pick the best or most creative submissions, and the winner will receive a crown pack to spend in-game! Read on for more details.

In the next Elder Scrolls Online DLC, The Dark Brotherhood, players will be able to extend their Alchemy tradeskill into the realm of poison making. We had the opportunity to chat with Zenimax’s Chris Balser & Phil Draven to learn more.

There is a glaring problem with The Elder Scrolls Online and it’s rarely brought up as a concern. This issue isn’t present in just ESO, it is an ongoing concern throughout the entire MMORPG genre. In this week’s column I’m going to hold off discussing The Dark Brotherhood a bit and talk about something that I think we need to try and rectify or provide ideas to Zenimax and other companies. Let’s discuss Test Servers and the incredibly low population of people that utilize them.

Elder Scrolls Online is a gigantic success according to Zenimax’s Matt Firor. Between the transition of the game from a subscription model to a buy to play title and the release of ESO for both XBox One and PlayStation 4, Firor says that the game was opened up to ‘millions of new people’, later qualifying that statement with ‘that’s actually new players’.

I never played the single player Elder Scrolls games (I know its blasphemy). So I’m not incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the Dark Brotherhood. I knew what they were, a guild of assassins, killing those who were marked for death. After going through this new DLC for The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel Unlimited I have a much deeper understanding for what they do and what they are. They’re called Dark Brotherhood for a reason, this DLC is fantastically dark.

The Elder Scrolls Online site has been updated with a new article that explains what the removal of Veteran Ranks means to players. The team gives a look at the design reasons for the removal before giving players an idea of what to expect once the Dark Brotherhood DLC goes live in the near future.
