The Elder Scrolls Online is an MMORPG entry of The Elder Scrolls series developed by ZeniMax Online Studios. Taking place in the Second Era roughly 1,000 years before the events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you play as a hero attempting to stop the Daedric Prince Molag Bal from taking over Tamriel and recovering your soul that was taken by him. Things are also complicated by the fact that the Imperial throne has sided with the evil Prince, and now Tamriel is in an all-out war between Cyrodiil and three alliances vying for control of it.It was released on April 4th, 2014 for Mac and PC (with a 3-to-5-day early start for preorders), with the PS4 and Xbox One versions set for a June 9, 2015 release date. On March 17, 2015, the payment model changed to only require the initial purchase, with an optional premium account system offered as well.When playing the game, you must choose one out of three alliances; unless you have a special account upgrade, the alliance depends on which race you choose. However, after the "One Tamriel" update, the alliance chosen no longer is a big deal outside of Cyrodiil, and you can move to another alliance's starter zone to do its story arcs instead. Races, likewise, do not have a big role after Wrathstone, even if some are better suited to stamina or magicka than others.The Alliances and the playable races are as follow: | |

Half of the playable roster (Dragonknight, Templar, Warden) were made specifically for Online and have never appeared in the series lore beforehand, while Necromancer did exist as a class in the prior titles, though it was exclusive to NPCs and wasn't one that you could choose when building your character. | |

Faustian Rebellion | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_11e55c12 | comment |
Faustian Rebellion: The vampire coven that players can join is of the Bloodline descended directly from Lamae Bal, the first and oldest vampire in existence, and thus the first Daughter of Coldharbour. She hates Molag Bal for certain reasons, and intends to turn her bloodline against him. And she is still alive. At this point, her crusade against Molag Bal has become a full-blown Roaring Rampage of Revenge, with her also hating Arkay, whom she believes abandoned her in her time of need. There is also Virgar the Red in Coldharbour, who offers assistance in the war against Molag Bal if the Vestige helps her free her vampire brood from the Daedric Prince's control. | |

Another Side, Another Story | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_12d9447 | comment |
Another Side, Another Story: You can go through one of the other two faction's main quests with the same character. Previously available only after completing the main quest, this was justified with some Daedric magic, and the question "what would have happened had you washed up on a different beach?" In Horns of the Reach, each dungeon tells a side of the overall story. In Falkreath Hold, you help the villagers against the a reach-clan attack and kill a minotaur leader of the Dreadhorn Clan, severely weakening the Reachmen-Minotaur alliance. In Bloodroot Forge, you stop the Dreadhorn Clan's plan to use Bloodroot Forge's nirncrux to empower their warriors. In Dragon Bones, you must stop the necromatic reanimation of a powerful dragon skeleton in Fang Lair, and you must kill the resurrected Dragon Priest loyal to said dragon in Scalecaller Peak. | |

Card-Carrying Villain | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_137f2d7 | comment |
Card-Carrying Villain: Nocturnal during the Daedric War arc. The dragons in Elsweyr. While the Alliance War is meant to run on Gray-and-Grey Morality, whenever a rival Alliance member or group is an antagonist in your current Alliance's quests, nine times out of ten they'll be portrayed as almost cartoonishly evil. Alexandra Conele and Ruuvitar both stand out in this regard. | |

Fake Longevity | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: The Companions system gives off this impression due to how progression is determined. For starters, your Companions will only gain experience from combat and only for 25% of the amount earned per kill, and completely ignores the Enlightenment XP buff available to CP characters, meaning that one can't simply rely on quests to shore up their levels like one could with their main. This affects both their level and skill line progression, which can make unlocking specific high-tier abilities a massive chore without constantly grinding combat zones like Craglorn. Fortunately, event XP buffs and scrolls do apply, so making use of them can alleviate this problem somewhat. Secondly, their version of the guild skill lines (Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, and Undaunted) are leveled by doing daily quests, which are limited to one each per character per day, so unless you have multiple characters to do these with, you can be looking at just shy of three weeks worth of dailies just to get one them to rank 10 in all three. Thirdly, companion gear is painfully difficult to accumulate and build around. They are both rare (dropping mostly from bosses and group events at a low rate), cannot be improved via crafting skills, and cannot be transmuted like regular gear can, leading to the inevitable reality of players selling rare items with the desirable traits for ridiculous prices (read: millions of gold at the cheapest) over guild traders. Even after an update which increased the drop rates of these items from non-boss sources, the best in slot items are still very hard to come across even if one were to grind for them. And lastly, companion rapport is gained so slowly (and lost so quickly if you do the wrong things) due to a cooldown in between each gain that one really can't speedrun it if they try. To put it into perspective, companion quests are offered at Friendly and Close relationship statuses, respectively, which translate into 1,500 and 2,750 positive rapport, meanwhile the most significant gain you can get per day per character is 125 from completing a daily quest for their favorite guilds. Worse still is that the game doesn't tell you any of this, as it lacks both a numerical tracker for rapport values and a detailed guide on what actions will influence your relationship with which companion, leaving you to figure all of this out by yourself. And to top it all off, rapport is not shared across your account unlike companion level and skills, so you will need to grind for it separately on every single character that you're using a given companion with. | |

Hero Antagonist | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_1501e2dd | comment |
Hero Antagonist: Okay, "hero" might be a stretch, but the Order of the Hour fills this role in the Dark Brotherhood storyline. While their methods are a bit less than noble, their goals are and always have been, and story-wise, their mission is ultimately to eradicate the local assassin cult that's been going around shanking people on the streets. That the Black Dragon underwent a Heel–Face Turn when she joined them is considered to be a bad thing from your perspective is basically all you need to know about their situation. Similarly, the Iron Wheel Mercenaries in Thieves Guild. They genuinely seek to clean up the crime-riddled streets of Hew's Bane, but they are also shown to have problems of their own, such as corruption and a leader whose fanatical obsession with hunting down the Thieves' Guild is tanking the group's funding. Tellingly, at the very end you can sell out the former, traitorous head of the Thieves Guild to them, and they'll reward you with the strongest Pardon Edict in the game. | |

Early Game Hell | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: In two ways. For new players, leveling your first character is usually incredibly frustrating and time-consuming due to the lack of, well, everything, be it gear, experience, skill points, Champion levels, builds, et cetera..., coupled with the huge hurdle to surmount that is the extremely lengthy zone questlines and all of the exploration that come with them. You'll slowly transition out of this phase around the ending of your initial alliance questline and the main story, and subsequent content will gradually become easier as you hit the gear score cap of CP 160. For experienced players, leveling their other new characters can reintroduce them to this feeling, as they will no longer have access to their super-powerful gear, high-level skills, recipes, and so on. While it is going to be easier than your first time around due to Champion points also carrying over to new characters, and housing, crafting bag materials (requires ESO+), and collectibles are shared across your entire account, your new Vestiges are simply that, new, and has to be raised from the ground up, which can take about as long as your first time around, if not more, owing to their play style differences. | |

Our Elves Are Different: High Elves (Altmer) are stuck-up fascists, Dark Elves (Dunmer) are religious fanatics and slavers, the Wood Elves (Bosmer) love the forest so much some are cannibals rather than eat flora. The other elf races are Sea Elves (Maormer), who have chameleon-pale skin and are constantly at war with the High Elves; Dwarves (Dwemer), who are not shorter than the other races and were atheist underground-dwellers, as well as eventual slavers of the Snow Elves (Falmer), who have yet to appear in the game, while the Ayleid (also called Wild Elves) are extinct and were slavers of humans. | |

Dressing as the Enemy | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_18dd6739 | comment |
Dressing as the Enemy: Several quests involve you donning a disguise to fool enemies into letting you pass, or at least making them less likely to detect you. However, there is usually some archetype (typically Sentries or animals) that is never fooled, and will expose you if they attack. Your chosen race will not affect how effective your disguise is, even if the disguise does not have any sort of head covering, or you are not the race you would be pretending to be. On the flip side, there exist whole costumes that are carbon copies of those worn by your enemies, but wearing these has absolutely no disguising effects, as they are merely skins applied over your current loadout and not actual disguise items. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: In a complete reversal of the systems in place in mainline titles like Oblivion or Skyrim, heavy attacks actually restore magicka or stamina instead of draining them. This presents a case of Damn You, Muscle Memory! for those who came to Online from said titles where they were conditioned to not perform heavy attacks when low on resources, as it's one of your most effective means of getting them back in this game outside of potions, which run on a lengthy cooldown so you couldn't just chug them endlessly like you used to be able to. Some dungeon mechanics can cause unintentional team wipes due to how they work against what you've been trained to do. In Cloudrest, when fighting Siroria, one of the main mechanics that boss can pull is to hit you with a telegraphed comet AoE from above. Normally, a player with an AoE footprint trained on them should try to move away from the team to prevent it from splashing onto others and causing unplanned deaths. Here, you need to run towards the group, as that damage is spreaded out evenly across everyone in the highlighted area, so the more group members are in that zone, the less damage each member will take, capped at 33% across three players. Having more than three in that blast footprint will not reduce the damage any further. Trying to tank that attack alone will invariably kill you. | |

GrayAndGreyMorality | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_1b44c21 | comment |
While the Alliance War is meant to run on Gray-and-Grey Morality, whenever a rival Alliance member or group is an antagonist in your current Alliance's quests, nine times out of ten they'll be portrayed as almost cartoonishly evil. Alexandra Conele and Ruuvitar both stand out in this regard. | |

Death from Above | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_1c398324 | comment |
Death from Above: The bow-ability Volley has you shoot an arrow in the air, and have multiple arrows fall down in your chosen Area of Effect. Templars have the abilities Backlash, where a spear of light slowly falls upon the enemy to deal damage, and Spear Shards, where you throw a spear of light up and has it land in your chosen location. Their Nova ultimate also comes from above. Dragonknights' ultimate ability Dragon Leap has you leap in the air and land on your target, dealing huge amounts of damage. | |

Pay Evil unto Evil | |

Pay Evil unto Evil: During the Forgotten Crypts questline, should you leave Sela behind with the cannibal refugee group while you search for her husband and destroy their food stocks, you'll later come back to find her missing, and their leader, Danus, boasting about having her butchered to feed them, with particularly smug emphasis on her cinnamon perfume being like seasoning for them. If you so choose, you can enact your revenge for Sela and Garil on the spot, as Danus loses his essential status after the conversation ends and dies in one hit. | |

Team Switzerland: Both the Fighters and Mages Guilds are technically neutral during the war, supporting none of the three factions while still maintaining operations within their territories. Despite being part of greater Skyrim, the confederacy of Western Skyrim is affiliated with neither the Ebonheart Pact nor its opponents, and stayed uninvolved during the Three Banners war. | |

Not the Intended Use | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_20e20e99 | comment |
Not the Intended Use: Since you can technically own a lot of houses, which are typically placed near wayshrines or other areas of interests, and traveling to your house is completely free, many players with Crowns to spend tend to scoop up real estate whenever possible, as much as their budget allows for it. Regardless of whether they will actually furnish the places or not, the many houses that dot the world map do provide a very handy alternative method of fast travel that doesn't cost anything to use, with the only crimp being that you can't travel out of the house for free like you could using an actual wayshrine, and the standard cost cooldown also applies. | |

Notice This | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_20e2a53b | comment |
Notice This: Lore books and other important documents will have a bright glow to them that will stand out even in well-lit areas, as well as the many Thieves Troves that you can loot from. Having the Keen Eye perk on one of the various crafting skill lines will make crafting resources of that type have a noticeable pillar of light effect coming from them, making it easier to spot and harvest them. A similar skill exists for treasure chests and excavation spots, though these highlighted items will glow blue instead of white, and the former will make a low chiming noise when the player is close enough to them. Thieves Troves also emit a bright purple glow to invite players to open them. The incredible buff of the Imperial City-specific set Imperial Physique is counterbalanced by your character having a bright blue glow about them, especially when you're carrying enough Tel Var stones to make full use of its five-piece effects. In the right hands, Imperial Physique is a scary set to come across, but when used by those less experienced with PvP, all you're doing is putting a huge advertisement over your head that screams "I'm carrying a ton of stones, please kill me!" to every enemy player around you. | |

Big Shadow, Little Creature: There is a quest on Vvardenfell to assist an archeologist. When you first encounter him in an ancestral tomb he has you investigate what appears to be a large menacing shadow, failing horribly to hide how terrified he is. The source of the shadow is actually a tiny spider that happens to be right in front of a lantern, and the archeologist splutters, saying that is obviously what he had expected. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: While the game was subscription-based, they would update for free with continuing stories in dungeons. After the game went pay-to-play and would instead release new dungeons in downloadable content, many hinted stories in dungeons have been left behind. In Direfrost Keep, we do not know how the quest-giver would attone for his ancestors, or where that door by the side-boss leads to. In Arx Corinium, there is a door by the bridge lever that obviously leads somewhere, but we will never know where. In Volenfell, Tharayya takes the quest-item and awakens something ancient that might have lead to another story in a second part. The events are never mentioned again even when Tharayya returns for a DLC-dungeon. Blackheart Haven, the quest-giver seems to steal the last boss' powers, speaking about his "new master". Though there are hints to who this master is, this is never followed up upon. In Elden Hollow II, the quest-giver is possessed by a powerful Daedra, and you have the option to spare him so his sister can look for help. The daedra threatens to come after you, but this story is not followed up on. In Selene's Web, there is another closed-off hall behind the giant bear boss that might also have lead to another section of the dungeon in a second part. In Vaults of Madness, the quest-giver shows obvious hints of madness and not having good intentions, and you get the idea that he has ill-intended plans for the future. We never see him again. At the end of the Ebony Mine quest in Morrowind, you have the option to give the alchemical formula the villains were using to create artificial ebony from "volunteers" to the Hlaalu Councilor who sends you to deal with the quest's Arc Villain for double the normal quest payout. You'd expect that this would lead to him screwing you over and using the formula for his own ends, since this is House Hlaalu we're talking about, but nothing comes of it and you never hear of the experiments again. | |

Adaptation Deviation | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_23a1e2a9 | comment |
Adaptation Deviation: The six playable classes are a confusing bunch. Half of the playable roster (Dragonknight, Templar, Warden) were made specifically for Online and have never appeared in the series lore beforehand, while Necromancer did exist as a class in the prior titles, though it was exclusive to NPCs and wasn't one that you could choose when building your character. The typical Sorcerer class in The Elder Scrolls is one that's a Magic Knight. What sets a Sorcerer apart from a common Mage is that the former a spellcaster that's clad in heavy armor and incorporate physical weaponry into their repertoire, while the latter is a Squishy Wizard. Largely averted with the Nightblade, which is about the only class that's at least superficially faithful to how it was depicted in the series canon. | |

Perpetually Static | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_293b5254 | comment |
Perpetually Static: As zone stories are self-contained, things can get pretty wonky if you play them out of order, especially the DLC chapters, even if they are both part of a larger arc. In many of these cases, characters who canonically died or are otherwise removed from the story will still somehow be alive and well in zones that chronologically precede their "deaths". This is even more of a problem if you decide to skip Coldharbour at the character creation screen, since the game will then prompt you to start your new playthroughs from the most recently-released chapter zone, all of which imply more or less that the Planemeld had already been stopped. The Daedric War arc begins with Morrowind and ends in Summerset. Should you decide to play through Summerset first, the events of Morrowind and Clockwork City will still assume that the larger threat is still present, even if you've technically defeated them already. Playing through Dragonhold before Elsweyr will still have the characters (and yourself) be utterly surprised that the Dragonguard are still around to some extent near the end of the Anequina arc, even if you've already reformed the order, and mission dialogue will refer to Sai Sahan as some kind of mysterious figure, despite the fact that you already knew him beforehand. And speaking of DLC chapters, you can play them immediately after Coldharbour and meet up with important characters from the main questline despite the improbability of it all. Abnur, Lyris and Sai Sahan will accompany you on your quests, and the game will treat it as if you already knew who they are, regardless of whether you've actually met them in the main story proper. One can play through the entirety of the Dragon War arc and then get the mission to rescue Sai from Coldharbour, or meet up with Abnur who's alive and well despite having seemingly perished at the end of Elsweyr, which makes no sense on a continuity level. | |

Non-Indicative Name | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_295087bf | comment |
Non-Indicative Name: Despite their names, none of the three main alliances are headquartered in their namesake areas. The Daggerfall Covenant's capital city is not Daggerfall itself, but rather Wayrest, which is in Stormhaven. Similarly, the leading forces of the Ebonheart Pact are the Nords, who are based out of Windhelm, and their capital is Mournhold, not Ebonheart. Less egregiously, the Aldmeri Dominion really is chiefly commanded by Queen Ayrenn's Altmeri forces, but their base of operations is in Grahtwood, which is Bosmeri land. That being said, based on where Vanus Galerion appears to Pact players during the main quest, it's possible that Ebonheart was at one point considered to be the faction capital, as he wouldn't show up in Mournhold like he would in Wayrest and Elden Root for the other two alliances. | |

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_29f44d3a | comment |
Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: Becomes more apparent during the late game than it is before you've reached level 50. Prior to CP 160, which is the level cap for gear scaling, having a lot of gold does not mean much since there's not a whole lot of meaningful stuff you can (or need to) get with it, outside of housing, therefore you likely will not notice the rather slow rate at which it is gotten. After CP 160, suddenly, you'll find yourself needing a lot of it to repair your stuff and buying rare materials from the guild market to upgrade your gear, due to the absolutely miserable drop rate of those items, and then the low gold income starts to rear its head. Legendary-tier upgrade materials can cost a small fortune per unit due to how rare they are, especially Chromium Platings for jewelry crafting, so unless you have a dedicated gold-farming character focused solely on farming things to sell, buying just one of those can set you back a good while of earning. That being said, as long as the meta does not change, once you've managed to upgrade all of your items to Legendary quality, this stops being a problem, and you can start invoking it on other players. | |

Bury Your Gays | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_2a8a7ea6 | comment |
Bury Your Gays: Little Leaf and Regent Cassipia downplay the nature of their relationship at first, even when directly asked. One only exclaims her true devotion after you've killed the other defending her. After both are defeated, you can find a journal written by the former professing her love in return, but the game continues to drive home how irreversibly dead you've just made them for the rest of the quest. Besides them, examples of overtly queer characters are extremely minor. | |

Artifact Title: Averted for the third game in a row. Multiple Elder Scrolls can be found within temples in Cyrodiil which can grant blessings for all the players in a particular alliance that control them during PvP. Mostly played straight in Player Versus Environment, as the Elder Scrolls are mentioned in the main game, but do not have a direct role in the present. One downloadable dungeon, White-Gold Tower, revolves around a plot of Molag Bal to steal an Elder Scroll, though. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Forcing locks. While it starts out at a very low success chance even for Simple locks, with enough investment into the Ledgermain skill line, you can eventually force open even Master locks somewhat reliably. For a Thieves Guild character, it is a very valuable skill to have, since it lets them swiftly swoop in, crack open a lockbox, and make off with the loot before anyone can see them, whereas picking it normally could take too long and cause detection. But, there is a catch: forcing locks open does not award you with any experience, whether for your character or the Ledgermain skill line, so most players will still opt to pick them manually instead. | |

Darkness Equals Death | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_2c77fae3 | comment |
Darkness Equals Death: Played with in the case of the Cradle of Shadows dungeon. At one point, the party will need to trek through a spider-infested cavern network, where being in the dark slows everybody down to a crawl even at full sprint, on top of the constant health drain, and the mobs there will only take 10% of your normal damage, including the two boss fights. All of the above can quickly result in a total party wipe, unless you take your time to light the many braziers dotted around the tunnels, or if you have a healer with you and they know what they are doing. And there are a few achievements for getting through that entire segment without lighting a single brazier, and pre-lit ones that are extinguished by the bosses must not be turned back on. To top it all off, this mechanic returns with a vengeance during the final boss fight against Velidreth, doubly so with Hard Mode enabled. | |

Gossip Evolution: If you have fought the Maormer on Captain Jimila's ship prior to meeting her in Anvil, she will tell you that the stories people tell have become extremely exaggerated: Apparently your party was set upon by a hundred Maormer, but you defeated them with one bare fist while swinging from the rigging, jumped onto the sea serpent, and rode it into the side of the Maormer ship. But that is not all: The ensuing battle allegedly even reshaped the coast - and you turned the serpent into your own personal mount. | |

Set Bonus | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_2e62fdc2 | comment |
Set Bonus: A constant of the games equipment. Regardless of the current patch, the best equipment in the game always offers additional benefits if all parts of its set are worn together. The fact that some of those offer reduced benefits if fewer pieces are equiped, coupled with the fact that you have 12 equipment slots, means that getting the most out of your items involves mixing several sets together. | |

Glass Cannon | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: No class embodies this trope better than Nightblades, especially those specced for Stamina use a.k.a. "Stamblades". Despite wearing medium armor, they possess neither the innate beef of dedicated tank classes, nor the insane amounts of magicka-based protective wards and buffs available to Caster kits, and therefore having startlingly-poor staying power when faced with strong enemies. Their primary means of damage mitigation are blocking and dodge-rolling, both of which require a lot of stamina, which can be difficult to manage in the heat of battle. Even the "cannon" part is arguable, as Nightblades require a lot of skill to even deal meaningful damage, both in the way of skill rotations and resource management, as noted under Difficult, but Awesome. In the Mythics category, there's the Thrassian Stranglers item that can stack up an insane level of spell and weapon damage boost (1,150 each) if you can reliably get killing blows, with the caveat of each stack also reducing your max health and shield strength by a considerable amount (6,000 health penalty and 50% shield strength reduction at 50 stacks). A max-stacked Thrassian wearer will be hitting like a freight train, but their health will also be low enough without using HP-boosting food that an enemy looking at them funny may be enough to kill them. | |

Anti-Regeneration | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_31d4ff2 | comment |
Anti-Regeneration: The Minor/Major Defile debuff does this to both you and your enemies, by reducing the strength of incoming heals, which also include passive health regeneration for players. You get this applied to yourself as a vampire. Your passive health regeneration gets weaker and weaker the more you feed, which is explained as the Vestige becoming more and more corrupted by undeath, down to a trickle at stage 3, and a stage 4 vampire no longer generates health whether in combat or not, forcing you to either chug potions or make use of your newfound powers to sustain yourself until you regress back to lower corruption levels. On veteran mode, if a player dies during any boss fight in Cloudrest, they will be afflicted with a debuff called "Shadow of the Fallen". What this does is that it creates a shadow clone of the deceased player, which will then teleport randomly around the arena to harass their teammates. While your shadow is alive, teammates trying to revive you will take extremely high damage, enough to kill a ~40k HP tank in less than five seconds. Then there's the uncommon but significantly dangerous heal absorption mechanic. It does exactly what the name suggests, in that a set value of healing done to your character will be negated, and passive health regeneration will not work while it's still up. The only way to strip heal absorption is to be healed through it, which makes it not very critical on its own, but will leave you vulnerable to being killed by the actually dangerous attacks that will invariably accompany it instead, especially if it targets the tank(s) of the group whenever it appears. | |

Collection Sidequest: DLC content starting from Orsinium usually feature achievements that require you to scour the zone maps and collect a certain amount of relics and return them to where they belong (or, in the case of the Thieves Guild, steal them and put them on display in the Den). The Dark Brotherhood DLC has a different spin in the form of the Litany of Blood, which requires you to go out into the world and kill specific NPCs with the Blade of Woe. These collection sidequests typically award a Memento or Costume upon completion, and are required for the zone-specific Hero achievements. | |

Squishy Wizard: Soundly averted, ironically enough. Despite their light armor and lesser focus on Health, most Magicka-based classes make up for this squishiness with absurd levels of wards and other protections achieved via spells and other passives. In fact, it's entirely possible to build a Sorcerer or Necromancer to have significantly more raw health than a dedicated Dragon Knight with points invested entirely into Magicka and wearing the correct item sets. | |

Rare Candy | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_39aeb09e | comment |
Rare Candy: Transmutation Crystals. They are used to alter the Traits on your gear, or reconstruct previously-obtained set items for a varying cost, which are very important during the late game if you're looking to keep yourself viable. Each transmutation runs you 50 of them, while reconstruction costs vary depending on how many different pieces you've collected for a given set, and you can hold 500 crystals, up to 1,000 with an ESO+ subscription, which are earned at a pretty generous rate if you're diligent at completing daily dungeons and pledges, but will still require some grinding to have enough for a single use. Prior to Update 28, these used to be much more rare, being earned at a rate of 5-7 per day if you're lucky and not already treating PvP like your job. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Post-Update 30, medium armor. While it's only good for one very specific playstyle, assuming you're not running a hybrid setup, and lacks the specific bonuses unique to light and heavy armor, medium gear is also not beholden to any of their drawbacks, which can be rather severe depending on the type of content you're playing. Discussed and lampshaded in the Outlaw motif books. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: The three alliances are each vying for control of the Imperial City and the Ruby Throne in hopes of conquering the rest of Tamriel and imposing their specific vision: The Daggerfall Covenant wants to restore the Second Empire, the Ebonheart Pact wants to turn Tamriel into a confederation, and the Aldmeri Dominion wants to usher in a new age of elven rule. However, all of these factions are doomed to fail in the long run even if one finally ends up winning the Three Banners War, since by the time Tiber Septim comes along at the end of the Interregnum and unites all of Tamriel for the first time under the Third Empire, all of the alliances have been gone for centuries and the old prejudices and rivalries between the provinces have returned in full force. Molag Bal's attempt to fuse Tamriel with Coldharbour is doomed to failure, as ESO takes place before all the previous Elder Scrolls games. Barbas' coup to destroy Vvardenfell will fail and Vivec will live, since the game takes place before The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Kaalgrontiid and the other dragons freed from the Halls of Colossus in the Elsweyr Chapter will end up either exterminated or re-contained, since dragons as a whole are relegated to the status of myths by the mid-late Third Era and Fourth Era. Only two dragons are known to be extant by the time of Tiber Septim: Paarthurnax, who is cloistered atop the Throat of the World under the Greybeards' protection, and Nafaalilargus, who served Tiber Septim as a mercenary. | |

Noodle Incident | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: On the Aldmeri Dominion side, Queen Ayrenn and Razum-dar's backstory seems to be full of these, often in reference to the time they adventured together. Some crafting skill lines have the Hireling passive, which makes you receive letters every day that contain crafting materials. The letters themselves usually recount the hireling's adventures while retrieving your materials, and can sometimes veer into this trope. When you ask Lendanor how he got to the prison isle of Amenos, he mentions that he once turned an entire town of Bretons into skeevers. Your astonished character asks "How did you do that? And why?" Lendanor complains that he's tired of talking about it and refuses to elaborate, saying simply, "Breton town. I show up. Skeevers. Then, Amenos. That's all you really need to know." | |

Skewed Priorities | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_3d2c6d30 | comment |
Skewed Priorities: Played straight with the justice system and how guards treat crimes of any kind. Tamriel may be under threat of a catastrophic Planemeld, but if you would dare use a werewolf, vampire, or necromancer skill while trying to save the city from certain doom, you will earn a big bounty for your troubles and all of the guards in the area will be after your skin instead of actually trying to fight the monsters. This all but forces players of the above three categories to operate at a distance from guards or other potential witnesses, or risk eating a bounty and being chased by every possible cop in sight, though there are many locations in the game where all powers are fair game and you won't be punished for trying to save people. Played even straighter with the Three Banner War. In the same vein as the Skyrim Civil War, all three major factions of the game have seemingly decided, with the looming threat of the Planemeld and subjugation of all mortals on Nirn should Molag Bal won, that now of all times would be the right moment to be at each others' throats in a race for the Ruby Throne. While their respective leaders do agree to an armistice during the main questline, that did nothing to stop or even pause the conflict going on in Cyrodiil proper. Even with a gigantic dolmen opening above the Imperial City that can pull all of Nirn into Coldharbour if the White-Gold Tower is captured, seizing the districts would still be higher on the priority totem pole for some reason. | |

Damage-Increasing Debuff | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_3d585167 | comment |
Damage-Increasing Debuff: Several skills can augment the damage a target receives. Generally, if a skill reduces an enemy's resistances it will apply the Breach (for Spell Resistance) or Fracture (for Physical Resistance) effects. Other skills are more specific, like Focused Aim, which increases damage received through bow attacks only. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: The battle in the "Arrival" trailer. The three faction leaders that we saw in the "Alliance" trailer take on a platoon of dremora. The Breton ends up possessed and attacking the Imperial City with an army of undead while the other two barely escape with their lives. Pretty much almost the entire time all three of them are very hard-pressed to stay alive, and the only reason they live is because the High Elf woman brings down one of the chains attaching the Dark Anchor to the ground, causing a massive statue to collapse on top of the battle area. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The Stonefalls Arc: The Covenant is pushed back and the Brothers of Strife have been contained. Unfortunately, Serien managed to kill Garyn with his last breath, driving his father mad with grief. Tanval eventually manages to regain his senses but must sacrifice himself to stop Sadal. The Rivenspire Arc: You stopped Montclair from turning everyone in Rivenspire into vampires, but Verandis returns to Molag Bal with the Lightless Remnant. Furthermore, no matter who you choose to take over leadership in Shornhelm, there will be people dissatisfied by your choice. The Grahtwood Arc: Queen Ayrenn is ratified and accepted as queen, and in the process of making this happen you help a lost high elf out of her prison, bring an infamous war criminal to justice, save a city from Sheogorath, and prevent a powerful Dremora lord from escaping her prison. However, Ayrenn's brother is consumed by his greed and anger toward his sister, forcing you to kill him, and the entity that trapped the high elf is never even encountered by the player. The Reaper's March arc: Javad Tharn is dead, the Dark Mane is permanently destroyed, the Stonefire Cult is dismantled, the Colovian offensive is halted, and the surviving Lunar Champion is crowned the new Mane. However, the new Mane is still devastated by the loss of her sister, and the previous Mane Akkhuz'ri will spend the rest of his life in shame over what he did while under the Dark Mane's control. The Banished Cells 2: The Keepers are dead, most of them having been killed by your hand after Rilis corrupted them, and their leader, the only one who resisted the corruption, sacrificing himself during the final battle against Rilis. However, Rilis is finally killed for good, and the purified spirits of the Keepers can now rest in peace, their long duty finally at an end. Orsinium: You stop King Kurog and Forge-Mother Alga from massacring strongholds that refuse to turn their faith from Malacath to Trinimac. However, the hope of the Orc people has fallen and many are saddened that their hero became a villain. The Trinimac faithful lose a lot of their followers due to Kurog's previous support. Furthermore, it was primarily Kurog and Alga who wanted the Orcs to be part of the Daggerfall Covenant, though the more traditional and isolationist new king does claim he is willing to renegotiate with High-King Emeric regarding the terms of Orsinium's presence in the Covenant. Also, depending on how you handled the infiltration of the Vosh Rakh base, either the High Priestess of Orsinium or one of your adventurer companions is dead, and in the latter case, another of your companions ends up badly crippled, possibly for life. Summerset: You defeat Nocturnal and prevent her from unmaking reality itself. However, it takes the Heroic Sacrifice of both Earl Leythen and Darien Gautier to get there. Darien is revealed to be suffering an And I Must Scream fate at the hands of Meridia, which also retroactively makes this a bittersweet ending for the main quest, in which Darien was your ally and Meridia was the closest thing to a Big Good. Not only that, but it's heavily implied that Meridia, once your ally, now holds a bitter grudge against you for "corrupting" her Knight. Cloudrest: You manage to vanquish the monstrous Z'Maja and free Cloudrest of her sinister grasp. However, the city is already devastated beyond saving, and if you completed the trial by first fighting the three corrupted shades and their gryphons, then the Welkynars will have been devastated to the last man, leaving Olorime as the only survivor. However, should you decide to take on Z'Maja without destroying any of the shades, which is no small feat even on normal, you can avert that last part, ensuring that the Welkynars will live on to rebuild the city once the crisis is over. Scalecaller Peak: You and Jovud's team manage to destroy Zaal the Scalecaller and her cult and stop them from spreading their plague across Tamriel, but in a last act of spite towards you, Zaal's spirit infects Jovud with her disease, dooming him to spend the rest of his now very much shortened life quarantined within the Peak in order to prevent the plague from spreading. This can be averted if you collected certain items within the dungeon, but good luck finding them on your first run. Season of the Dragon Epilogue: Kaalgrontiid's bid to become the Dark Aeon is foiled and he and his most powerful lieutenants are defeated, Elseweyr is united once more under Queen Khamira, and the Dragonguard has reformed under Sai Sahan and is prepared to defend Tamriel from future Dragon attacks. However, Abnar Tharn sacrifices himself to contain the out of control Aeonstone power left behind by Kaalgrontiid and prevent it from destroying Tamriel, and while his death is not outright confirmed, its unlikely we'll ever see him again. The initial ending for Markath, before the "epilogue" that unlocks when you clear both it and Greymoor's main quests. Lady Belain is defeated and Rada al-Saran's plan to use the Dark Heart is foiled, saving the Reach, but Arana is mortally wounded in the final battle and dies shortly after Belain's defeat, and hundreds of Markarth's people were killed by the Grey Host during their attack on the city. Blackwood: You managed to stop Councilor Vandacia from succeeding in his plan to merge Nirn and the Deadlands together before Mehrunes Dagon became too powerful. However, Destron has been absorbed into Dagon, Sombren and Calia have to go to the Deadlands in order for the latter to control her powers, and the fourth Ambition of Mehrunes Dagon is still missing, making them vulnerable to the Daedric Prince's plans. Gates of Oblivion Epilogue: Mehrunes Dagon's final plot is foiled and the remaining Ambitions are forever beyond his reach due to Lyranth absorbing their power into herself, but in order to accomplish this, you had to kill your old friend and ally Sombren, who had been driven mad by the power of the Mysterium Xarxes. In addition, Lyranth makes it clear afterwards that her alliance with you is over and that she can't guarentee she won't become your enemy if she crosses paths with you again. Legacy of the Bretons Epilogue: You finally managed to defeat the Ascendent Order, have the three Druidic Circles reconcile with each other, and begin the peace talks between the Three Alliances but Frii had to sacrifice themself to be the new volcanic spirit, it'll take a long time before the other Circles trust the Firesong and the revelation that the Ascendant Lord was Lord Bacaro will definitely be felt for a long time. | |

Gates of Oblivion, the story of 2021, consists of Flame of Ambition, Blackwood, Waking Flame, and Deadlands the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon is using four mortals empowered with his essence to destroy the realm of Nirn and with the tenuous alliance of a rogue Daedra, you must stop his plans from happening.

Hyperactive Metabolism: While healing is usually reserved for skills and potions (and even those heal instantly and give a small regeneration effect for a few seconds), eating food grants buffs to your maximum health, stamina and/or magicka instantly, and can be done as fast as you want with no repercussion whatsoever. Of course, when you actually have a quest involving a drinking contest, expect your character to puke after three drinks and pass out after five. | |

A similar deal also applies to one-handed weaponry, which simply float unsheathed around your hip when put away instead of being secured in a scabbard like in Oblivion or Skyrim. | |

He replies that yes, he had a drink with him earlier where they discussed their love lives and his plans for world domination... no, of course he does not know where Angof is. In Shornhelm, you can ask Skordo the Knife what he's doing in locked in a cage. He snarks that he needed some quiet time. | |

Stance System | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_44e013e4 | comment |
Stance System: The Destruction Staff skill line will dynamically change its damage type depending on which of the three elemental staves you're currently using. Some skills may also receive different spell effects depending on its elemental type, such as Destructive Touch, where an Inferno staff causes knockback on hit, a Frost staff roots the target, and a Lighting staff inflicts a stun. | |

Honor Before Reason | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_44fc28e8 | comment |
Honor Before Reason: The Redguards hold their ancestors in very high respect, including the corpses of ancestors raised as Undead. Most Redguards would rather run away before dishonoring themselves by fighting them. This becomes quite a problem thanks to a group of necromancers who know that all too well. | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_4508b16b | comment |
The Guards Must Be Crazy: The game's AI has a funny way of detecting your presence. As long as you stay out of their (invisible) aggro range, you can literally dance circles around them or steal anything that is not nailed down in plain sight without anybody lifting a finger, but step one toe into that radius and suddenly everybody in their periphery can see you. Learning this invisible range is crucial if you're part of the Dark Brotherhood or Thieves Guild, due to the obviously criminal nature of their missions, and if you've had bounty docked against you, beyond this is the "safe" distance from which city guards will not accost you. Due to the game's nature of an MMO with (mostly) respawning [NPCs], guards will never react to seeing a corpse in their vicinity, even in restricted areas. | |

Premium Currency | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_47b66303 | comment |
Premium Currency: Besides its regular gold currency, the game offers two special currencies: One is "Crowns", the currency used in the cash shop, obtained by spending real money (including subscribing to the game); these let you buy cosmetic items, shortcut items (e.g. merchant assistant that has limited functionality compared to in-game bankers), and DLC. The rarer type of premium currency is Crown Gems. These are obtained only by purchasing Crown Crates (a box that gives you 4 random items), and either trading your consumable prizes from them for 1 gem per card, or getting a duplicate costume/pet/etc. (in which case the amount of gems is based on the item's rarity). These gems can then be used to buy an item from the Crown Crates outright, for 16-400 gems depending on which rarity tier it's in. | |

Butt-Monkey: Stibbons, Lady Laurent's much beleaguered manservant. Depending on your actions throughout Lady Laurent's quests, he can, in order, get bodyjacked by the spirit of another manservant, turned into a Goblin, get temporarily fired after stupidly leading a Dominion assault force right into the heart of the Redguard homeland, accidentally turned to stone, abducted by a Winged Twilight who then tries to seduce him, and finally imprisoned in a Lotus-Eater Machine by a trio of Dark Seducers. He is not safe even from the downloadable content. In Orsinium, he is frozen by an artifact, in Morrowind he is encased by a spider web after reading a Daedric scroll, Murkmire has him transform into an egg after performing an Argonian mating ritual, and Blackwood has him captured by a necromancer and being duplicated into dumber version of him. At least in High Isle, he gets a break where it's Lady Laurent who gets humiliated instead and is able to come up with a solution to save her. | |

The Bosmer typically uphold the Green Pact, which maintains that plant life is sacred while animal and humanoid lives are expendable. Not following the Pact is considered the highest sacrilege, aside from one faction of Bosmer Combat Pragmatists who do not uphold the Pact due to wartime rules. The tenets of the Pact also impact Bosmer diet, making them strict carnivores and at times even cannibals. | |

Situational Sword | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_4daeb0b9 | comment |
Situational Sword: Most forms of player stats, passives, and gear traits tend to be useful a lot of the time in either PvP or PvE, but critical damage resistance is purely designed to suit the former, as AI-controlled enemies will simply deal very high flat damage that never crits. As such, most forms of crit resistance or Damage Reduction, such as the Impenetrable trait, are simply worthless if you're not doing PvP to justify their use. Although most skills generally have diverse enough uses to avoid becoming niche, there are certain ones that do not confer much meaningful bonus for their point cost, and therefore fit the bill very well. The Snakeblood Alchemy skill sounds very handy on paper, due to its hefty reduction to negative effects in potions when consumed. However, it's a fairly high-level skill, and even if you're only remotely diligent at gathering alchemy ingredients, it's perfectly doable to just craft potions with entirely beneficial effects, thus rendering the negative effect reduction redundant. In practice, it's only ever useful when you definitely need to craft some kind of potion, but the only possible combination of ingredients you can come up with has some form of detriment to it, but in such a case, a sensible player would not craft potions at all to even have a negative effect to eliminate. Really, you'd need to go out of your way to deliberately craft something with negative effects for Snakeblood to take effect, which defeats the purpose of high-level Alchemy entirely. In most skill lines, the many Keen Eyes skills only serve to highlight important materials and points of interest with a bright glow to help with spotting them. If your actual eyes are keen themselves, combined with just cursory knowledge on where material nodes and treasure chests spawn on the map, you can skip these skills entirely, as they do not confer any other benefits beyond that. In keeping with the above point, the Hireling skills have dubious usefulness overall. Even at max level, your hirelings still have a very low chance of giving you something actually useful beyond the standard materials that you can find nearly anywhere. A dedicated harvester can eliminate most of the reasons to even get a hireling in the first place. That being said, there are certain rare materials that can only be gotten from hirelings, which still provide players with an incentive to invest points into these skills. Entire classes can become Situational Swords based on the kind of content you're tackling and your group's composition. Due to the way classes give and benefit from Major and Minor buffs, it's a bit more nuanced than just tossing twelve players together and expecting them to work well, since some buffs can only affect Stamina players (Savagery, Brutality, etc...), and others Magicka (Sorcery, Prophecy, etc...). This means that having a Nightblade tank in a group of entirely Magicka damage dealers will be a waste of their Minor Savagery buff which only affects non-magic weapon critical, and a Sorcerer healer will not be able to do their job effectively in a Stamina-heavy setup due to their predominantly Magicka-inclined buffs. Given the dominance of Magicka damage dealers in the late-game, it's a safe bet to say that the vast majority of Stamina-centric support classes will not be seeing as much use. The Bosmer race seems to have been engineered more for PvP than PvE, which is reflected in their major passives and stats spread. They boast high resistance to Poison and Disease damage (and prior to Update 30, immunity to both of their relevant status effects), both of which are very rare in PvE, but abundant in PvP. Stealth detection is pointless in most PvE situations as enemies will never sneak up on you like players do, and while the bonus to movement speed is nice, it doesn't make for a huge boon outside of PvP, where rapid relocation that the enemy can't track can be vital in many fights. Pre-Nerf, their playstyle also involved a lot of dodge rolling to proc Hunter's Eye and increase their offensive penetrations, which is a rewarding maneuver in PvP where armor with the Impenetrable trait reduces a lot of your raw damage thus necessitating a means of circumventing this protection, but is of questionable usefulness in PvE where the typical group setup is more than capable of helping you reach penetration cap anyway with just a few buffs. It stands to reason that Bosmers were hit the hardest with the Nerf bat in Update 30, which aimed primarily at balancing content for PvP over PvE. | |

If an enemy chases a player too far away, they wll start running back to their starting position. While they are doing this, they regain all health and cannot be hit by any attack, even ranged ones.

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The two first downloadable contents stand out from the rest. Usually, a DLC will either be two dungeons, a small zone or the annual big zone with a new gameplay feature. The first DLC, Imperial City, is a Player Versus Player zone with two dungeons. The second, Orsinium, is a big zone which was always a DLC, whereas other big-zones began as Chapters bought with real money that were later made into DLC. Craglorn is a base-game zone that was introduced post-launch and has nothing to do with the Planemeld overall. This is because it was introduced while the game was subscription-based, and they planned to regularly introduce new zones for free. This was changed when the game went buy-to-play, but it can still feel weird to go from a five-zone-long Alliance arc and simultaniously save the world from Molag Bal, to a self-contained zone about the Celestials. The first post-released story arc "Daedric Wars" took a long time to complete, going from previews in Orsinium, the Dark Brotherhood, and Shadows of the Hist DLC to Morrowind to Clockwork City to Summerset, with two self contained DLC Dungeons between the three. "Season of the Dragons" onward follows a DLC Dungeon Pack, a Chapter, another Dungeon DLC group, and a small DLC zone. | |

Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_4ffde1e0 | comment |
Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: One of the skill types is One-Hand and Shield. Blocking with a shield (as opposed to your own weapon) can absorb more damage and potentially save your life, especially in PvP situations. It is almost a necessity for tanking too, as its skill line contains one of the three ways to Draw Aggro in the game. What is more, merely having a shield equipped increases your armor rating, which further makes you more difficult to take down. | |

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_50727f8d | comment |
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: Justified Trope in that due to being offered to Molag Bal as slaves and having their souls stolen, all of the PC's get resurrected infinite times. This is even written into the game lore: you can find a book detailing the concept of a "paragon" soul, a special kind of soul that allows Soul Shriven to not deteriorate and instantly revive. The only penalty is armor damage. That said, player characters can still do this after they get their souls back, which is never explained. | |

Dual Wielding | |

Dual Wielding: One-handed weapon types can be dual-wielded; there is even a skill line for dual-wielding. Oddly enough, there are no provisions for using just one of them at a time like in prior titles, as there are no skill lines that benefit the use of singular one-handed weapons. | |

Cast from Hit Points: Certain abilities don't cost Stamina or Magicka to cast, but drain your Health to activate like Equilibirum, Blood Altar, or Malevolent Offering. While you can't kill yourself with instant-cast skills like the former two, those that drain health over a set duration like Malevolent Offering and its two morphs can do you in if you use them while close enough to dying. | |

Cutting Off the Branches | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_52475ffd | comment |
Cutting Off the Branches: The game has a downplayed version of this trope. Oftentimes the player's choices will be overidden in future content, but there will usually be an explanation for why things are different than what the player did or at least an acknowledgement of the discrepency. For example, an enemy you can either spare or sentence to death will return very much alive and if you chose the latter will have a story about how they escaped death. Regardless of your choice of which Companion to sacrifice to power up the Amulet of Kings during God of Schemes, the events of Dragonhold, Elsweyr, Orsinium and Greymoor basically made it clear that it's Varen who ultimately perished. Even if you've selected either Sai or Lyris for the task, they would still show up later on, alive and very confused. | |

Gotta Catch Them All | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_527fc5fe | comment |
Gotta Catch Them All: Update 28 introduced the Set and Reconstruction systems, where players can collect items belonging to each set and bind them to their account to register them in their Collection tab to gradually fill up each one to completion. As an added bonus, if you've discovered a specific item from a certain set, you can then reconstruct it at a Transmute Station for a certain amount of crystals, with the item trait and quality being entirely left up to your discretion. The more complete a Set is, the cheaper the reconstruction cost will be, leading to players hoarding as many set items as they can to drive the price down to minimum, which is 25 crystals, meaning that with a reasonably filled up set, it would be much cheaper to reconstruct an item to your liking, than transmuting one that's gotten from a drop but in the wrong trait. | |

Diminishing Returns for Balance | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_53e6f4a | comment |
Diminishing Returns for Balance: Rolling to dodge can help you get out of the way of strong attacks that may do a lot of damage or even kill you, and doesn't cost much Stamina to perform to begin with. But, there also exists a debuff called Dodge Fatigue that you cannot cleanse, which ramps up the Stamina cost with every successive roll, causing this maneuver to become very resource intensive very quickly, which serves as a deterrent for players just rolling all over the place to avoid damage and crowd control, especially in PvP. While questing, your party size can have an impact on how much loot and experience each of you are earning. When paired up with another player, both you and your partner will receive a 10% boost to every experience gain you receive, but in groups of three and up, everybody will start earning less, significantly so in fact (all experience gains are halved for large groups). The same thing happens when many players contribute to a single kill, as the experience will be split among everybody present who had participated in it, so more people crowding around a world boss will mean less experience for everyone. When it comes to public events, certain ones will not award any loot at all if more than twelve people participated in them, such as the Barathrum Centrata encounter in the Imperial City Sewers. Champion Points are designed to be this. When you first unlock Champion ranks, each point will give you a very tangible difference when put into the associated skill trees. However, the more points you commit, the smaller their bonuses get, as their values are rounded down, to the point where you'd need to commit close to a half dozen CP just to get a single percentage increase, since the value per point becomes incredibly tiny. Item Trait researching lets you learn powerful properties that you can then apply to your gear, either by crafting or transmuting them, but with each trait researched on a particular article of equipment, the next ones will take significantly longer to complete. The first trait on anything can be completed in as little as a bit over 6 hours with no skills, but every trait after that will take twice as long to finish, with the ninth trait clocking in at a whopping 1536 hours. That's more than two months just to complete one research on an item that you've learned most of the traits for, assuming you have no skill bonuses or Instant Research tickets to use, so better hope you've got what you needed beforehand, especially if you're doing Master crafting writs or making set items. | |

Daywalking Vampire | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_5401e7ac | comment |
Daywalking Vampire: Vampires of the Second Era are different from their later counterparts by the lack of a vulnerability to sunlight, allowing them to walk about during daytime with no ill effects. Their transfigured victims, commonly known as Bloodfiends and Harrowfiends, are also likewise vampiric and share their resistance to sunlight. This immunity seems to be limited to those turned by Noxophilic Sanguivoria, however, as the handful of ancient, "traditional" vampires such as Valeric in Eastmarch still seem to be harmed by daylight, however their strong vampiric essence seems to lessen the effects of it to the point of merely being a discomfort. | |

Broad Strokes | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_547196be | comment |
Broad Strokes: While the map of Tamriel in Online is remarkably accurate compared to the provincial areas of older titles, the developers did take a lot of artistic liberties with how they depict these regions. The most startling difference Online makes is the addition or removal of certain landmarks that may or may not have appeared in the other games. While this can be understood as these locations need to be expanded in size to accommodate a large amount of players, the changes made to them are usually dramatic, such that they do not look the least bit like how they did in games that chronologically succeed Online, and some dungeon placements do not make any sense (e.g. Windhelm and Riften look nothing like their Skyrim counterparts, Winterhold and Dawnstar are just straight-up missing from the game map, as is much of the marshland north of Morthal, although Solitude and Markarth are basically unchanged from how they last looked). A disturbing amount of locations that show up in Online will just magically vanish several thousand years later during the Third Era without the least bit of acknowledgement from anyone. Downloadable content is supposed to work on their own without playing the base-game first, so any recurring characters have usually no big role in the base-game. However, some content does assume you defeated Molag Bal and got your soul back, if only because they stopped quests where not having a soul is helpful. In Wrathstone, you can do whichever dungeon first and the next dungeon will act as the final dungeon. In Elsweyr, where the Mane could be useful to have, you instead get the representative, the Speaker of the Mane. This is because the Mane changes during the Aldmeri Dominion Story Arc, and you get to choose which of two will be the new Mane. Dialogues often do change if you enter a DLC in the middle of a Story Arc, like if you do Clockwork City without doing Morrowind first, so that people will act as if you get involved for the first time. Small details and dynamics will fly past you with that, though. It does not, however change dialogues in Morrowind if you finished Clockwork City and Summerset. When Mulaamnir offers to let you and Abnur Tharn go in Elsweyr, it makes more sense if you played the prologue quest first, where you technically helped Abnur Tharn free the dragons, than if you did not, in which the dragons will let you be just because they think you would be an annoying bug they would rather not put effort in. | |

Cosmetically-Advanced Prequel: The culture of the past is far more vibrant and active than what appears centuries later. The attention to detail based on the style of later games in the The Elder Scrolls can make the standalone games seem quaint in comparison. The Morrowind expansion depicts a more developed Vvardenfell than The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and the regions of Tamriel are given far more detail than the procedurally generated areas of The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. | |

Nostalgia Level | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_56b5a6b7 | comment |
Nostalgia Level: Many of the playable areas of Tamriel would count since the game is largely an even mix of nostalgia locations and new areas. For instance: Eastmarch and The Rift in general, to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. One particular Ebonheart Pact questline will take players back to Skuldafn where they need to access a portal to Sovngarde. Stros M'Kai is one for The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard. The Dark Brotherhood takes place in the Gold Coast from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, complete with some areas that were in the previous game. The Morrowind expansion's release date was chosen for its closeness to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind's 15th anniversary, and it features the island of Vvardenfell, with plenty of references to the original game. | |

Homing Boulders | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_57a70347 | comment |
Homing Boulders: Zigzagged with ranged attacks. While they can miss if the target performs a dodge roll, ranged attacks will hit without fail otherwise, and trying to sidestep out of the way will just result in the arrow or spell bolt clipping through the map geometry or changing trajectory mid-flight to curve into you. Not even killing the enemy who fired that shot will stop it from finding its target, so players low enough on health can very well be finished off by the fireball of the mage they'd just killed mere moments ago if they didn't make an attempt to dodge it. Played a bit less straight with your attacks, in that you have to have a target highlighted for your hits to land, otherwise they will just whiff and do no damage, meaning players cannot perform the aforementioned insane feats of marksmanship available to NPCs most of the time. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: The game is riddled with it. The Ebonheart Pact consists of the Dunmer and the two races that were their worst enemies before the Akaviri Invasion. The Veiled Heritance in the Aldmeri Dominion see the Bosmer and Khajiit as lesser races (although they seem to hate every other race just as much and even a classist attitude towards working class Altmer and below). Many human members of the Daggerfall Covenant still struggle to accept that the Orcs are a sentient race. Those are just a few examples. Needless to say, most characters despise races from the other alliances, though members of races from rival alliances can often be found in alliance cities living in relative peace with the normal alliance races. There are many non-playable characters in Summerset that changes dialogue depending on whether you play as an Altmer or not; they will be dismissive, patronizing or downright hostile if you are not, while respectful and sharing if you are Altmer. | |

Magic Knight | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_58204b95 | comment |
Magic Knight: Most tanks, as they often balance weapon abilities and magical abilities to stay alive. Dragonknights and Templars are quite literal examples of this, boasting a lot of Magicka-based powers that they wield to deal damage and support their teams in equal measure. For additional points and lore accuracy, pick Breton as your race for these classes. Also applicable is the surprisingly and curiously powerful Stamina Sorceror build, or "Stamsorc" as it's usually known as, who wield powerful magic that they can imbue into their bladed weapons for devastating effect. The scrapped Battlemage class had a very similar playstyle in theory, with specializations in Two-Handed weaponry, and spells from the Destruction, Alteration, and Mysticism schools of magic. | |

Frontline General | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_590e1c70 | comment |
Frontline General: Unfortunately downplayed in that ranks in Alliance War are largely for show, as you don't receive regiments of troops to command. The definite upper ranks (discounting Emperor, which is separate, and players of any rank can be crowned if they meet the requirements) of the Alliance War mode consist entirely of them, and they can be you. The lowest tier of which is General, as denoted by a single five-pointed star, going all the way up to four stars at Overlord, and finally five at Grand Overlord, at which point you will have basically outranked every single military commander of the three factions other than their rulers. In order to even be at this stage, you will have to be very good at PvP and/or play a lot of it, and any seasoned Alliance War veteran can tell you it will be a significant time sink on top of all of the other shenanigans you'll be participating in outside of Cyrodiil. | |

Fragile Speedster | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_5979acea | comment |
Fragile Speedster: Generally applies to most damage-dealing builds due to their generally lower health values and less sturdy armor, but both can be remedied somewhat by having a competent tank and healer in the group. Wood Elves as a whole are these from a gameplay standpoint. They have no racial bonuses to health and survivability beyond Poison and Disease resistance, instead featuring a suite of passives that promote a fast-moving, hard to hit playstyle revolving around stamina weaponry. Prior to their major Nerf in Update 30, the typical Wood Elf would additionally be dodge rolling all over the place to keep proccing their Hunter's Eye passive, which puts them into Glass Cannon territory. The Nightblade class in particular lives and breathes this trope, both in lore and design, due to its over-reliance on evasion to shore up its innately weak defenses. Most of its class skills are themed around dodging damage or cloaking oneself in darkness to avoid being hit, making even Nightblade tanks a bit less sturdy than what their high health would suggest. The trade-off to this is that Nightblades have the best damage mitigation of all six classes in the current meta, but on the off chance that you do take a solid hit, you will feel it. | |

Enemy Mine | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_5989e3b6 | comment |
Enemy Mine: The Ebonheart Pact is comprised of the Dunmer and their two most hated enemies, the Nords and Argonians. They are only working together because of the threat posed by their mutual enemies. In-practice however, the members of the faction are capable of cooperating decently enough. This is also the reason the Khajiit joined the Aldmeri Dominion. The Altmer helped them when the Knahaten Flu struck, and explained that they would need the help of the Khajiit to defend Tamriel from invaders. To quote the lorebook "The Eagle and the Cat": "To fight against mutual enemies - ah, that was a logic we Cat-folk could understand." There is also Eyevea, the Mages' Guild headquarters. You can be a ranking Ebonheart officer having a polite conversation with a top researcher from the Dominion, and that is the norm. Certain sidequests involve you working together with members of a rival Alliance to face a common, greater threat. Early in the Bangkorai arc, the leader of the Reachmen invading the region temporarily allies with you to oust the Imperials from Evermore, since she wants to be the one who conquers it. While Clavicus Vile, Nocturnal, and Mephala were all opposed to one another during the events of the Daedric War arc, by the time of Summerset they have united in an attempt to take over the Crystal Tower. Once Nocturnal betrays the other two however, both Vile and Mephala will ally with you to get back at Nocturnal, even joining the pact Sotha Sil made with the other Daedric Princes. Played straight with all three Alliances during the endgame. With the threat of Molag Bal's Planemeld looming over the entirety of Tamriel, the three faction leaders begrudgingly agree to form one big, if tenuous, armistice, in order to mount an assault on Coldharbour and put a stop to the God of Schemes' plot, since if he had won, neither of the alliances would benefit from the ensuing chaos, victor or not. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Zig-zagged. This is largely averted for you with the updated Justice system, which made city guards frighteningly good at their job. If they catch you committing a crime, they will immediately attempt to extract a fine out of you, and the only other option is to resist arrest, after which your bounty will be significantly inflated and every single cop in Tamriel will try to kill you on sight. Running away from an angry guard is extremely hard for an inexperienced crook, due to their bevy of CC abilities that constantly snares, roots, stuns, and pulls you into whacking range, where they will wallop you into the ground with their powerful melee weapons. Fighting back also isn't an option, as guards are freaking invincible. For as long as your bounty holds, getting anywhere near a guard without significant investment into the Ledgermain and Thieves Guild skill lines, the latter of which also unlocks the Clemency option when held up, will just be asking for trouble. Unfortunately, they are far less competent when it's the NPCs' turn to commit wrongdoings in their view. | |

Back Stab | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_5a175c8e | comment |
Backstab: There are several skills or item sets that deal more damage if used behind the target. Also, hitting a heavy attack while sneaking will briefly stun the target: as being discovered negates this bonus, melee attackers have to hit from behind, although it's technically possible for a bow user to achieve this even if the enemy is facing them, due to their range. The Blade of Woe provides a literal Back Stab, in that it can only be executed from behind an unwary victim. A successful stab kills them instantly regardless of health, but will only work on lesser dremora and mortals of the ten playable races, whereas undead and other, stronger enemies (i.e. bosses or those with special health bar frames) No-Sell it. | |

Play Every Day | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_5ad39c3a | comment |
Play Every Day: The game has a daily login reward system. Missing a day does not mean you miss the next reward, but it means that it's delayed until the next day you log in, and it means you may miss the last (typically biggest) reward. Various zones and questlines have a quest you can complete daily; you can earn achievements which can unlock things like dye colors or crafting stations for completing a certain number. Events in the game are relatively frequent, and during them you can earn a number of Event Tickets per day. After Bethesda was acquired by Microsoft, the Endeavors system was introduced, which gives players the opportunity to earn a limited number of Seals of Endeavor daily that can be exchanged for Crown Crate items (previously only obtainable by spending real money.) | |

Bribing Your Way to Victory | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_5c17c12f | comment |
Bribing Your Way to Victory: Very downplayed with the Crown store. While the Crown store and various purchasable packs do offer a lot of conveniences, such as instant research tokens or quick head-starts to rarer skill lines like vampirism or lycanthrope, neither of those let you purchase any game-breaking thing like gold or high-level gear by shelling out real money. The most instantly gameplay-impacting thing it can give you are XP vouchers, and while it is possible to buy your way out of grinding up certain skill lines and finding skyshards, both of these require you to have done those same things yourself, but manually on a different character beforehand, so it's not like you could start a fresh account and buying up all of those nice things immediately. Played somewhat straighter in the form of the Digital Imperial Edition Upgrade which is only purchasable with Crowns after the original Imperial Edition of the game was deprecated. Owning it grants access to the exclusive Imperial race, which is fantastic for tanking, especially after the Nord Nerf of Update 30, but doesn't see much use otherwise. On a lesser level, many quests let you choose between doing a favour to continue a quest, steal an item, persuade or intimidate the character to give you the thing you need... or you can pay them, usually 69 gold, to just get it quickly. The Altmer New Life Festival quest assumes you will rather pay those 69 golds rather than kill some bugs so much that killing those bugs is an achievement. | |

Inexplicable Treasure Chests | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_5e2ae7ee | comment |
Inexplicable Treasure Chests: Much like collectible crafting materials found while trekking through Tamriel, there are several spots in every map where treasure chests can spawn. These are usually well-hidden and offer decent loot and a bit of experience for the leveling adventurer, but are mostly unexplained; a few players might be able to find hints in some dropped letters and such that point towards a chest location (therefore implying that somebody actually put those items there), yet the vast majority of chests have no explanation. Notable aversions to this trope exist in the form of lockboxes, which spawn in populated areas and contain items to steal, and so can be explained as being the personal cache of a Non-Player Character nearby, and Undaunted chests, which contain random equipment specifically to reward daring members of the guild. | |

Kleptomaniac Hero: Now possible to be this, after the Justice System was added. Stealing can be quite profitable, and stolen items can fetch surprising prices at fences with the Thieves Guild's Haggling skill, sometimes netting even more gold than one would selling an equivalent item legitimately, thus encouraging players to pickup everything that's not nailed down while trying their best to not accumulate bounty while doing it. The only crimp to this kind of money-making is the hard cap on the amount of things you can fence per day, at 50 if you're just starting, to 140 at level 4 Trafficker. | |

Royal Harem | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_600571df | comment |
Royal Harem: Invoked and exploited. Orc chiefs in clans and strongholds marry several wives to keep bonds between clans, but also so the wives will lead various sections of the clan depending on the order they married him. For example, the first wife is always the hunt-wife, responsible for hunting food and produce for the clan; the second wife is the forge-wife, responsible for overseeing the mining and blacksmithing Orcs are famous for, and the third wife is the hearth-wife, who takes care of the home and cooking. All the wifes are still expected to be able to fight to provide the chief the strongest heirs. While most Orc chiefs will have these three wives, they may marry as many as they need, want or can. As King, Kurog has more wives than most, both for tradition and alliance deals. Outside of his three first wives, he also has a set of twins as his shield-wives, meant to protect and fight with him during his campaigns, and immigration-wife who encourages and helps orcs back to Orsinium, and many more that work in the background. Subverted in the Alik'r zone. Prince Azah cultivates a reputation as a lothario, but the women in his harem are actually all his personal spy network. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Most melee moves by enemies will hit you, no matter how much you try to dodge it - you can be ten feet away and a tiger swiping its claws will still make contact somehow. Enemies' spells and arrows can go through walls and change direction to follow a target. Yours cannot. If an enemy chases a player too far away, they wll start running back to their starting position. While they are doing this, they regain all health and cannot be hit by any attack, even ranged ones. This essentially means Hit-and-Run Tactics such as kiting (normally frequent in MMORPGs) is useless here. | |

Hidden Blade and Steel Tornado under Dual Wield let you do the same but costing Stamina instead of Magicka. Some item sets also throw a fan of knives when their five-piece effects are triggered. | |

Lost Technology | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_6114a875 | comment |
Dwarven metal ore is inexplicably common in the game around the level 35-40 range and is a pretty low-tier material, despite the fact that the prior titles, especially Skyrim, have exhaustively described how the method of creating Dwemer metals have been lost to time, and the only way of getting fresh ingots was by recycling scrap items looted from their ruins. | |

Almost Dead Guy: After the quest "The Final Assault", one of the final quests in the main questline, King Laloriaran Dynar is dying, but he lives long enough to thank you for your help and say how proud he is that his final day was spent protecting Nirn, and he gives you his sword. | |

Perfectly Arranged Marriage | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_629fa757 | comment |
Perfectly Arranged Marriage: In a Markarth side-quest, you are tasked to find two run-aways in an arranged marriage to end their clans' feud. Eslyn (the bride) simply doesn't want to marry someone she doesn't know or love while Madearn (the groom) promised his dying friend he would marry his sister Drisene. As you help them try to find a new way to end the feud, they end up bonding and becoming attracted to each other. The quest can end with them deciding to simply go through with the arrangement since Eslyn's concerns are now irrelevant and Madearn can accept that Drisene will be happier without being married out of obligation. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: A vampire or werewolf Vestige can join the Fighters Guild perfectly fine, despite their classifications falling under said faction's blacklist and they are the most typical sources of reputation you can find in the game world. Even worse, both the Fighters Guild and main storyline basically have you be acting under Meridia's auspices, who, as the patron of life and energy of all living beings, has a seething hatred for everything undead, vampires included. In fact, as a vampire, you owe your lineage more to Molag Bal of all people, which makes it very odd that Meridia would give you her blessing against him at all. On the topic of vampires and werewolves, you can be either of those things and a Templar at the same time. Being adherents of Stendarr, a Templar's very job is to eradicate the undead and heal the living using Aedric and solar magic, which werewolves and vampires are deathly vulnerable to. And nothing bad will happen to you should you play Templar and contract either vampirism or lycanthrope, even if your own magic should have incinerated you instantly for doing so. Despite being acknowledged as pirates with no ties to the Covenant, the Ra Gada Pirates in Malabal Tor are capable of using Alliance skills such as the Warhorn or Caltrops. PvP zones such as Cyrodiil or the Imperial City are not affected by the current state of the game world regardless of where you are in the main quest. This means that they remain open warzones even if the three factions have entered into an armistice in order to mount an assault on Coldharbour with you during the endgame. For that matter, radiant NPCs around alliance zones will not change their attitude towards you regardless of your factions. A Daggerfall Covenant character doing quests in Pact zones will still have to fight and kill their fellow soldiers whereever the quests demand them to, with no way of convincing them to stand down. It gets especially ridiculous if you've completed all three alliance questlines, but the soldiers who are technically allied to you will still be out for your blood if you enter into areas where they're marked as hostile. Summonable assistant NPCs such as bankers and merchants cannot be brought out in PvP zones such as Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, or Battlegrounds, seemingly because of the potential collateral damage they may take in those cases if their flavor texts are to be believed. Said assistants will also happily follow you into all manners of hellish environments like Coldharbour, the Deadlands, or other metaphysical planes where dying would be the least of their concerns. Supposedly, this restriction is put in place to prevent players from abusing their services to gain the upper hand in PvP scenarios, but it's nothing that having an actual disclaimed in the assistant descriptions won't do, and doing so has the added benefit of not painting these assistants as having extremely Skewed Priorities. Lore-wise, the Templar class should be the diametric opposite to necromancers, the undead, and various daedra, with their light-based powers being granted by the Aedra to smite evil. In gameplay terms, they don't possess any kind of power advantage against these types (one possible ability morph is even named Vampire's Bane, yet does no bonus damage to actual vampire-type enemies and players), whereas the skills and passives of the Fighters Guild line seemed closer to what they should have been able to do instead. The climax of the Bangkorai chapter is made meaningless by how the game handles player character deaths. Basically, Septima Tharn's entire plot to cross over to the Far Shores was a plan to separate the Vestige from their soul link to Coldharbour that enabled them to revive every time they die, so that she can kill them there and be done with it. Of course, in a game where Death Is a Slap on the Wrist, you can still revive if you're so inclined and get back into the fight if Septima somehow manages to kill you. If you kill another Vestige in PvP with the Soul Trap ability and have an empty soul gem in your inventory, it will still net you a filled gem even though all Vestiges are supposed to be soulless until the completion of the main questline much further in. The many town guard NPCs in the game are effectively immortal, can No-Sell basically everything you throw at them, and have a special script that gradually scales up their damage done to the point that they will eventually one-shot you regardless of your own resistances. This raises all kinds of questions, namely why aren't these undying juggernauts being sent to fight in the Three Banners War, or to square up against divine beings capable of wiping out whole groups in a single attack instead of the infinitely more fallible players, who do pitiful damage by comparison and are still vulnerable to being killed. | |

New Game Plus: Sort of.

Your character progress is retained, and you play through the other two stories from the beginning as you would with new characters. | |

Armor Is Useless | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_638b65bc | comment |
Armor Is Useless: Zigzagged. On the one hand, your armor class dictates how well you will be able to stand up to damage and of what type (e.g. Light Armor can absorb more magical damage, but is weak to Physical types, and Heavy Armor is vice versa). On the other, however, you can alter your apparel to look however you please due to the free-form nature of the Outfits system. How well-built your character looks to be means absolutely nothing, as your actual gear properties and passives will determine your sturdiness. Certain Costumes further make matters more complicated, and some Heavy Armor sets are literal examples of Chainmail Bikini. This means that someone decked from head to toe in platemail might very well be a Squishy Wizard who die to one solid hit from a monster. Conversely, with a proper set of Heavies, you can tank the hardest hitting bosses in the game in your underwear if you so choose by putting on the Nordic Bather's Towel. | |

When you run into Rada al-Saran and Exarch Ufra in the Undergrowth, the two of them will angrily proclaim their intention to murder you on the spot in order to avenge one of their fellows, Tzinghalis, whom you've slain in the prior quest. Ufra fails and is killed by the Vestige, which only further angers al-Saran the next time your paths cross. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_63d861f8 | comment |
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: At one point during the Riften questline, you need to make a ritual sacrifice in order to pass through a sealed door. You have the option to sacrifice a member of the Reachmen, a race of Chaotic Evil Hagraven worshipers. If you do choose him for the sacrifice, you have to trick him into thinking you are leading him out of enemy territory. On the way to the door, he will proceed to tell you about his eight-year old daughters, and how they cried when he went to war. There is horror in his voice when he discovers you are not there to free him. In Elsweyr, Euraxia Tharn genuinely loves her son, Javad Tharn. Hurting him is a sure way of getting on her bad side. Javad is the Arc Villain of Reaper's March, so if you completed the Reaper's March questline before going to Elsweyr, you have killed Javad and Euraxia will be even more hostile to you when you meet. | |

You Will Not Evade Me: Many player classes have abilities that can reposition enemies, or themselves towards distant targets. Tank classes typically have these to Draw Aggro towards themselves and pull dangerous enemies away from their fragile DPS players, while others like Nightblades can use Teleporting Strike to move themselves on top of the target provided they're within range. Some enemy types can do this as well, like the Stranglers, as well as the various city guards you'll be running away from when you've got a bounty on your head. | |

Damage Reduction | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_64cf3b3f | comment |
The two forms of Damage Reduction, Spell and Physical Resistance, are capped at 50% and represented by the total Armor value of your gear. At level 50, the hard cap for both Resistances is around 36,400 Armor score for 50% damage mitigation. While it is possible to go beyond 36,400 with buffs and some skills, any excess value will be disregarded. Accordingly, the stats that counter these, Spell and Physical Penetration, are capped at 18,200 each, which translate into a 25% maximum penetration. | |

| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_66f763c0 | comment |
Interface Screw: Aside from enemy abilities, quite a lot of your own can also make it harder to see and interact with things, both in and out of combat. Special mention goes to the classes who can summon persistent "pets", such as Warden or Sorcerer, as if those pets get in between you and an interaction or synergy, the prompt will not show up until they move or are unsummoned. This can be very annoying when you're trying to use an item on the ground or talk to an NPC, or dangerous if you have to perform a mechanic or use a synergy in combat to prevent a wipe. | |

Undressing the Unconscious: Happens several times throughout the many questlines. Played with when city guards do this to you, in that you're freaking dead when this happens. If you're wearing contraband and are defeated by city guards, they will literally strip whatever stolen piece of gear they can find off of your body. If all of your slots are filled with stolen gear, have fun reviving in your undies. But hey, at least you'll get an achievement for it, two if your entire loadout was repossessed at once. One of your fellow Thieves, Walks-Softly, will do this in Forever Hold Your Peace, in order to obtain an Iron Wheel guard uniform to sneak into No Shira Prison. | |

And Your Reward Is Clothes | |

And Your Reward Is Clothes: A few costumes are obtained by reaching a certain character level, completing certain quests, collecting certain objects, etc. The most difficult costume to obtain - and therefore easily the most exclusive - is the Emperor's Regalia, which is unlocked if you become Emperor in an Alliance War campaign. While Emperors are periodically replaced based on AP score, former Emperors are still able to access the costume if they've previously unlocked it. Many cool-looking crafting motifs can only be collected as Rare Random Drops from doing dailies or in dungeons. Similarly, there are also very rare crafting motifs can only be reliably found while questing in trials on veteran mode. These allow you to customize the look of your character like a costume, but on a much more diverse and free-form level. | |

Disc-One Final Boss | |

Any of the three Disc-One Final Boss characters for each alliance; specifically, High Kinlady Estre, Angof the Undying, or Thallik Wormfather; has the chance to become this in Coldharbour. After being sent to Coldharbour for failing Molag Bal, they are forced to compete in a "game" where they have to use their minions to kill two of the others for a chance to get back into Molag Bal's good graces, and their minions consist of Mage's Guild members you have to rescue. At the end of the quest, you have a chance to either save the Disc-One Final Boss, or the Mages... or both, by threatening to kill the Observer over and over again until he gives in to your demands, which would permanently disrupt the game. The one you chose to save undergoes a Heel–Face Turn of sorts, and joins your army against Molag Bal. | |

Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Subverted in Elsweyr: Khajiit can be born as small housecats or giant ape-like cats besides the typical bipedal forms, and with the exception of their voices, one cannot see what sex they are. | |

Cosmetic Award: Completing most achievements will net you a new dye color. If you obtain certain champion ranks, you will unlock a special costume to wear, and you will earn the Emperor's Regalia if you become Emperor. Several dungeons and quests also can give you a vanity pet or a skin. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Wayshrines and their importance are not very well advertised to you as you're getting started. While you will learn their benefits of fast travelling and respawning points very quickly, the game does not tell you that travelling using the wayshrines themselves is instantaneous and best of all, free, until you have dived into the help section, or caught a loading screen tip that says so. If you picked up the game a while after it's released, exploring the post-launch content is a nightmare, since there is no clearly-defined order in which you should experience them, especially if you're an ESO Plus subscriber and have access to every DLC. These DLCs are released in arcs throughout their years, but without consulting the release order at the top of the page, it's very easy to play the chapters out of order and be utterly confused when plot points that are already resolved suddenly becoming new topics again (e.g. completing Clockwork City before Morrowind will have the location and Daedric invasion of Sotha Sil's domain be a big deal, despite it already being resolved earlier). | |

My Greatest Failure | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_6ee10e0 | comment |
My Greatest Failure: Many characters have this. Varien's is not stopping Mannimarco in time. In Northern Elsweyr, Zamarak has two, one which was the reason for his self-imposed exile and another when he returns. The first was not being in the palace to protect the royal family when Euraxia Tharn usurped the throne, the other was when his mentor was murdered by her army. | |

Anti-Human Alliance | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_6fd620fd | comment |
Anti-Human Alliance: The Aldmeri Dominion is explicitly against a human-dominated Tamriel. Queen Ayrenn makes it clear it is not because she hates humans, but because their race is young, lives short and thus they cannot rule well for such a diverse people, many whose lifespans are thrice their length. This is in willful ignorance of the fact that two out of three of the races that form the Dominion are just as short-lived, and whose civilizations have been thriving for eras specifically because of their short lifespans that spurred them to evolve and change. | |

While the Mages Guild did historically have a foothold in Skyrim during the Second Era, before being supplanted by their "official" counterpart, the College of Winterhold, no such excuse exists for why there are also Fighters Guild halls in Eastmarch and The Rift in Online. Per lore, the Fighters Guild never operated within Skyrim due to the existence of the Companions, their regional equivalent, who perform largely the same roles. | |

Player Versus Player | |

Player Versus Player: Players are able to fight one another in battles for keeps and other such fortifications, with a particularly huge arena being the Imperial City itself, with 100 versus 100 battles. This is not surprising, considering the main creative talent were behind Dark Age of Camelot. One of the updates added the ability to challenge another player to a 1-vs-1 duel. The Morrowind expansion introduced battlegrounds, which are 4-vs-4-vs-4 arena matches. | |

In Glenumbra, you can run into Odei Philippe for a short world quest - his tailoring supplies are all lost in a wolf (and werewolf) infested pass. Upon getting them, You meet his wife, a Lion Guard, on the other side, to whom you turn them in and complete the quest. She treats him like a baby, implying that he sleepwalked, but with the implication he was trying to escape. Poor guy. | |

Plug the Volcano: In the High Isle expansion, Volcanic Vents are the zone's new world event. When the vent's boss is defeated, a druid closes the main vent by plugging it with a boulder.

Easy Logistics | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_745a226c | comment |
Easy Logistics: Your bows now no longer require you to carry actual ammo to fire. The only concern you'll need to have with them is how much charge they're having, and if you're using an unenchanted bow, then you can just keep firing forever without any ill effect. Played straight with Soul Gems. Whereas in the previous titles, NPC souls have different "sizes" that require specific types of gems to capture, and "smaller" souls will yield weaker enchantments as well as restore less of an item's charge, every soul in Online is treated as identical in value. Furthermore, enchanting in Online is done via glyphs, so the use of soul gems of varying sizes no longer matters. This means that there will be a lot less fiddling around with gems and risking your neck capturing the souls of larger creatures for your own businesses, since now the soul of a lowly mudcrab will restore as much charge to your weapon as that of a gigantic dragon. | |

Lady Clarisse Laurent is a more comical example. While not an evil woman by any means, her single-minded obsession with uncovering ancient relics and artifacts often ends up getting innocent people hurt, killed or worse. And yet any attempt on the player's part to give her some comeuppance invariably fails and ends up affecting her manservant Stibbons instead. | |

Hidden Weapons: One of the faction skills of the Fighters Guild, Silver Bolts, has the Vestige producing a miniature Dawnguard crossbow from their wrist to shoot at the enemy with, before swiftly folding back into their sleeve (assuming their apparel has any sleeve to begin with). From the Dual Wielding category, there's the Hidden Blade skill, which operates in a similar manner, but provides for a quick ranged interrupt, as well as a Flash Step when morphed. | |

In Morrowind, you have been captured by slavers and helps an assassin kill the slave trader to get out. In Summerset, you are trapped in your own mind and are helped by a Psijic Order member to get free. In Elsweyr, you learn your mechanics and setting during a dragon attack. In Greymoor, the prologue has you rescuing the Friendly Neighborhood Vampire Fennorian and escaping with him, while also teaching you how to disrupt harrowstorms. All actual prologue quests have you travel around the world and fight enemies to progress. | |

For Want Of A Nail: At the climax of the Aldmeri Dominion questline, the Vestige and their chosen Mane-to-be are treated to a vision of a very Bad Future, where Javad Tharn's plot in Reaper's March succeeded due to the corruption of Akkhuz-ri, and neither Shazah nor Khali stepped up to replace him as the leader of the Khajiit people as a whole. After the leaderless Khajiit seceded from the Dominion, the balance of power tipped heavily towards the Pact and Covenant, who swiftly took control of Cyrodiil and marched upon Valenwood, forcing the Bosmer to invoke the Wild Hunt to fend for themselves, before devolving into barbaric savages after losing the Silvenar and the Green Lady. Without two of her great allies, an unpopular Queen Ayrenn tries and fails to hold the Dominion together after a second uprising of the Veiled Heritance, led by the disillusioned Battlereeve Urcelmo, took over the Summerset Isles, and dies in a suicidal last stand, bitter and alone. | |

Status Buff | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_7b4ac30a | comment |
Status Buff: A big part of the game. Since the game's launch, a good part of the available skills could buff the player in a myriad ways, though most were not obvious in some technical aspects (such as what could stack with what instead of being overwritten). A few patches later the buff system was revamped, standarizing most of them with adequate names and inserting them in some unpopular skills to make them more useful, which further emphasized their importance in the system. In terms of their overall usefulness, suffice to say that a clueless player will often put several of their preferred role's most obvious skills on the skill bar and then use two or three, wondering why the game's enemies take too long to kill. A good player will have a mixture of skills to deal damage, mitigate and buff, constantly cycling through them and keeping them up to make the most out of their ten slots. | |

But since it cannot be traded, transferred to other characters or stored in any way, many players either have it taking up backpack space forever or find themselves trying to get all the illegal achievements at once before using it. Bind On Equip items can sometimes have this effect if they are rare enough to garner large sums of gold on the guild trader market. Use one just once to test it, and it is yours forever. | |

| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_812ee32b | comment |
Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: Zigzagged trope. Magic builds can push out more damage faster and over a larger area than those relying on stamina by endgame. However, being able to take damage is arguably more important in the metagame than being able to dish it out, and stamina is generally the more efficient option for tanks. | |

Cap | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_834427cd | comment |
Cap: There are several ways in which this will manifest in the game. Your character level is capped at 50, and you'll start gaining Champion ranks beyond that point (Veteran Ranks prior to the Dark Brotherhood update). Champion levels are respectively capped at 3,600 at the time of writing. Accordingly, your gear stops scaling at CP 160, so that's the safe point where you can start worrying about getting the best endgame sets as they can't get any better stats-wise. The two forms of Damage Reduction, Spell and Physical Resistance, are capped at 50% and represented by the total Armor value of your gear. At level 50, the hard cap for both Resistances is around 36,400 Armor score for 50% damage mitigation. While it is possible to go beyond 36,400 with buffs and some skills, any excess value will be disregarded. Accordingly, the stats that counter these, Spell and Physical Penetration, are capped at 18,200 each, which translate into a 25% maximum penetration. Your Bag of Holding has a finite carrying space, of course. While it can be upgraded, the maximum bag space is 200. Your bank works similarly, but caps out at 240 slots instead. You are limited to how many furniture items you can have in your home, and of them how many of each type. Generally, these caps change depending on the size of your house, with larger homes allowing for more types of furnishings and more articles of each category. Having an active ESO+ subscription will further double this limit, allowing you to place even more things in your house. Some currency types have rather low upper limits to how many of them you can carry with you at any given time. Event tickets are limited to 12 units, tops, and you can only have a maximum of 500 Transmutation Crystals on you at any given time, increased to 1,000 with an active ESO+ subscription. The other currency types don't seem to have a hard cap, especially gold, but considering how Online still uses a 32-bit memory system, one can make an educated guess that it maxes out at a staggering 2,147,483,647g. | |

PvE | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_83445afa | comment |
The Bosmer race seems to have been engineered more for PvP than PvE, which is reflected in their major passives and stats spread. They boast high resistance to Poison and Disease damage (and prior to Update 30, immunity to both of their relevant status effects), both of which are very rare in PvE, but abundant in PvP. Stealth detection is pointless in most PvE situations as enemies will never sneak up on you like players do, and while the bonus to movement speed is nice, it doesn't make for a huge boon outside of PvP, where rapid relocation that the enemy can't track can be vital in many fights. Pre-Nerf, their playstyle also involved a lot of dodge rolling to proc Hunter's Eye and increase their offensive penetrations, which is a rewarding maneuver in PvP where armor with the Impenetrable trait reduces a lot of your raw damage thus necessitating a means of circumventing this protection, but is of questionable usefulness in PvE where the typical group setup is more than capable of helping you reach penetration cap anyway with just a few buffs. It stands to reason that Bosmers were hit the hardest with the Nerf bat in Update 30, which aimed primarily at balancing content for PvP over PvE. | |

Oblivious Guilt Slinging | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_83a8d697 | comment |
Oblivious Guilt Slinging: The player can do this at the end of a major Morrowind questline, though you'll only learn this during Summerset. If they chose to have Naryu kill Veya, their attempts to make Naryu feel better about the deed only angers her, though she is also quick to reassure them she is not really mad at them, just upset at the situation. In Summerset, Veya turns up very much alive and says that Naryu did not have the spine to kill her. Meaning, Naryu was not upset about killing her friend and student, but rather about lying to the Vestige and their attempt to be considerate of her supposed grief only made her feel more guilty about the deception. | |

Life Meter: Three bars graphically show your remaining magicka, stamina and health. Worth noting is that the Life Meter also shows some of your buffs and debuffs through simple graphical effects: the meter cracks if your resistances are reduced, its borders become thicker if they are buffed, it becomes smaller if your maximum health is reduced, glows white if your attack is increased and black if it is reduced, and so on. It also shows if you have any shields, coloring a portion of the bar pink in relation with the strength of the barrier. | |

Bad Powers, Good People: Applies mostly to Necromancers, and to an extent, Vampire and Werewolf players. The "bad powers" part is heavily emphasized by how most of their available class skills are marked as "criminal acts" that will make city guards and civilians leery if witnessed, but ultimately all Vestiges are still technically on the side of good, regardless of how morally-dubious you're playing your character as. | |

The Chosen One: You are the only one fighting Molag Bal's Daedra and Dark Anchors, but from each player's view they are the only one who has escaped from Coldharbour and returned to Tamriel after having their soul stolen, and is working with the Five Companions. Late in the main plot, the Prophet mentions that "all other Vestiges will have their souls restored", more or less confirming the existence of other heroes who may have escaped Coldharbour like the Player Character, but did not get to meet the Prophet and join the Companions. However, the first subtle hint of this is dropped during the Prophet's first conversation with the Vestige after they escape Coldharbour, where the Soulless One is advised to "join with others (...) seek others who share [their] courage and valor". | |

Evil Pays Better: The crime system can be very profitable, especially for new players. What is more, the quality of treasure you can pickpocket, steal from owned containers, or loot from murdered civilians is tied to your Legerdemain skill...and your Legerdemain line rises as you fence or launder loot. It is fully possible for a thief to be your characters' financier. If you take perks in the Thieves Guild line (requires the Thieves Guild DLC), the payout only increases. | |

Our Zombies Are Different | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_8ba9512b | comment |
Our Zombies Are Different: There are various types of zombies depending on the magic used to bring them back to life. For example, zombies raised by the Bloodthorn Clan will have thorny vines sprouting out of their backs. Zombies of nords in or around tombs are usually called draugr. | |

| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_8cb01d0e | comment |
The Altmer, even at their most tolerant, are proud eugenicists with other elements of fascism. In particular, it is considered betrayal to marry or breed outside of their race, as they consider themselves the last "pure" example of the original Aldmeri. Less extreme Altmer may oppose the slavery, oppression or dehumanization (so to speak) of other races, but they still see them as unevolved, impure or child-like. | |

Hard Mode Perks | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_8dc2b0f2 | comment |
Hard Mode Perks: Dungeon and trial gear drops are generally of higher qualities if you complete a run on veteran, where collected set pieces will be looted in the purple epic quality, rather than the blue rare quality. When it comes to trials, with a few exceptions, after the last boss, you'll receive a Legendary-quality piece of jewelry as well (two if you've increased the difficulty of the final boss, making it a literal "Hard Mode" perk). Additionally, in some veteran arenas and trials, you can receive "perfected" versions of a set, which gives small 5-piece bonuses not found on its regular counterpart, thus presenting endgame players with an incentive to challenge harder content to earn these better gear, however marginally. | |

Overly Long Name: The quest "A Duelist's Dilemma" of the Summerset chapter has the Vestige trying to learn the full name of a High Elf at the behest of his announcer and opponent, in order to comply with traditional Altmeri dueling customs. Properly completing the quest requires the player to fully memorize the three incredibly long parts to the Elf's namenote Lirendel Rumilion 'len Inecil Culanarin Salolinwe 'ata Piryaden-Itelnoril Hilnore Firlamil 'cal Ternerben-Nivulirel, and then declaring them in three consecutive dialogue checks, to formally announce the challenge. | |

Absurdly High Level Cap: Aside from the standard 50 levels per character, the Champion Points system cranks this up to eleven with at least 3600 more. That being said, CP levels are shared across all of your characters, so in practical terms, only your first Vestige has to surmount this Absurdly High Level Cap, the others do not have to. | |

Arc Number: In the base-game, the Five Companions arc is number five, in which you must replace the betrayer of the group.

Jaywalking Will Ruin Your Life | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_9298d265 | comment |
Jaywalking Will Ruin Your Life: Played with. If you fail a pickpocket once, the guards will come looking for you, and if you happen to have no gold in your inventory, they will kill you for being unable to pay what you are clearly worth in weapons and armor. If you pay the bill, you are in the clear but the guards will confiscate all your stolen goods, even if the total value is in the thousands. If you do manage to get away, you will be unable to stroll through towns for about 30 minutes unless you go through illegal channels or forfeit all your pilfered goods. Compared to the toll for murder, which is a mere three times as much bounty as pickpocketing, there really is little incentive for players to pick pockets if they are the murdering type. | |

Athens and Sparta | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_94389bb8 | comment |
Athens and Sparta: The Ayleid city states of Delodiil and Abagarlas. Delodiil was progressive and populated by artists and scholors, and its people worshipped Meridia. Abagarlas was a military state whose people worshipped Molag Bal. Abgarlas's King was so jealous of Delodiil that he planned on sacking it and sacrificing every one of its citizens to Molag Bal, but by the time he and his army arrived, Delodiil had vanished, and Abgarlas had been sacked. The Coldharbour arc reveals that Delodiil was absorbed into Coldharbour, Molag Bal's realm, and becomes the main trade hub during the Coldharbour quests. Abgarlas is explorable as a dungeon. | |

Outliving One's Offspring | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_95c2a9dd | comment |
Outliving One's Offspring: Depressingly, this happens to several characters in the course of the game, hero and villain alike. In the Stonefalls arc, Tanval Indoril's only child Garyn is killed by a Breton general, which causes Tanval's Face–Heel Turn as he seeks an extremely destructive vengeance on the Covenant. In Summerset, this is a key piece of Valsirenn's backstory, along with her estranged husband Leythen. They're estranged precisely because they handled their daughter's death in opposite ways, with Valsirenn doubling her commitment to the Psijic Order while Leythen fell away from it completely. In Elsweyr, if you've completed the Reaper's March questline beforehand, Euraxia Tharn greets you with absolute rage for killing her son Javad, the Arc Villain of that zone. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
In a complete reversal of the systems in place in mainline titles like Oblivion or Skyrim, heavy attacks actually restore magicka or stamina instead of draining them. This presents a case of Damn You, Muscle Memory! for those who came to Online from said titles where they were conditioned to not perform heavy attacks when low on resources, as it's one of your most effective means of getting them back in this game outside of potions, which run on a lengthy cooldown so you couldn't just chug them endlessly like you used to be able to. | |

A Shadow of Rajhin, a Khajiit god, stalked and harassed a married high elf woman in order to sleep with her. After being repeatedly refused, he "stole" her away to hide the shame she brought him, until she would be willing to sleep with him. Then, he "stole" her husband and home, so when she is finally released from her prison by you, she has nowhere to be with her husband gone, her home hidden and her time passed. The Shadow of Rajhin is never made to pay for this. | |

Damager, Healer, Tank: While the usual MMO trinity of roles is present in the game, it offers a bit of malleability as the classes are not bound to a specific role and, due to how the combat system works, a party is much more effective if every member can deal damage, cycle through utility buffs and sustain themselves in some way. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
No class embodies this trope better than Nightblades, especially those specced for Stamina use a.k.a. "Stamblades". Despite wearing medium armor, they possess neither the innate beef of dedicated tank classes, nor the insane amounts of magicka-based protective wards and buffs available to Caster kits, and therefore having startlingly-poor staying power when faced with strong enemies. Their primary means of damage mitigation are blocking and dodge-rolling, both of which require a lot of stamina, which can be difficult to manage in the heat of battle. Even the "cannon" part is arguable, as Nightblades require a lot of skill to even deal meaningful damage, both in the way of skill rotations and resource management, as noted under Difficult, but Awesome. | |

By the time you run into the Spearhead crew in Sentinel, she has gone from a prissy noblewoman to a hardened privateer and rogue, complete with a change from her noblewoman's dress to leather armor and a pair of daggers. Neramo's pet Dwemer construct, Clanker, starts out as a humble Dwarven Spider. When you encounter Neramo again in Wayrest, its been upgraded into a Dwarven Sphere, and when Neramo is encountered again in Sentinel, Clanker's become a full fledged Centurion. | |

On the other, however, you can alter your apparel to look however you please due to the free-form nature of the Outfits system. How well-built your character looks to be means absolutely nothing, as your actual gear properties and passives will determine your sturdiness. Certain Costumes further make matters more complicated, and some Heavy Armor sets are literal examples of Chainmail Bikini. This means that someone decked from head to toe in platemail might very well be a Squishy Wizard who die to one solid hit from a monster. Conversely, with a proper set of Heavies, you can tank the hardest hitting bosses in the game in your underwear if you so choose by putting on the Nordic Bather's Towel. | |

Kill It with Fire: Magicka-users with the infernal staff as a weapon, of course. Using that staff will change all the Destruction Staff skills to be flame elemental. | |

An Interior Designer Is You | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_9c8f40e8 | comment |
An Interior Designer Is You: Online has a surprisingly large selection of homes for the player to acquire and furnish. Generally, houses located in base game areas can be purchased for (exorbitant sums of) gold unfurnished, whereas buying them with preplaced furniture will cost you (similarly-exorbitant sums of) Crowns, and DLC homes are only purchasable with the latter currency. After acquiring a house, you can finally put the huge collection of furnishing designs you've amassed during your adventures to good use, and the game offers no shortage of collectible decorations that you can place down on every conceivable surface, just to flex on your less-wealthy friends. | |

Interface Spoiler | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_9cb3e22e | comment |
Interface Spoiler: In crypts, you can sometimes spot what bodies will rise as draugr or zombies from a long distance due to the red outline on them if you have that option on. Before it was possible to kill innocent non-playable characters, you could notice what figures would later become mobs due to the white outline on them, when normal non-playable characters would not have that at the time. If you're specifically dealing with potential werewolves, they will be immune to instant-kill prompts, such as the Blade of Woe or a vampire's Feed. More accurately, the prompts for those abilities will not show if you sneak up on them. | |

Taking the Bullet: In the Elsweyr main questline, Captain Nala-do sacrifices herself by diving in front of a spell meant for Khamira. At the climax of Orsinium, If you previously sacrificed Talviah in order to learn the Vosh Rakh's plans, Eveli takes the arrow that would have otherwise killed Solgra in the opposite path. Thankfully, she survives, but is unable to accompany you and Bazrag for the final battle against Kurog and Alga. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: At the end of Wrothgar's storyline, Alinon the Alchemist mentions several zones that have yet to be announced, and the Prophet appears to warn you about a great danger that will arise when the Clockwork City opens, hinting to the Daedric War arc that would not begin until the next year. In addition, when you are in Wrothgar's library during one of the last main story quests, you can find a letter from Darien Gautier, foreshadowing his appearance in Summerset. Dark Brotherhood has a quest that continues hinting toward the Daedric War arc. In Fang Lair, the quest-giver will discuss with you how necromancy as a magic art is not inherently evil, and that there are good necromancers. This opens the door for the Necromancer class for players that worry about being evil. The fact that shadows are a big element in the prologue quest for Clockwork City foreshadows that there is an antagonist associated with shadows, which turns out to be Nocturnal. | |

Heel–Face Brainwashing: In the Wilderking subquest, the player meets a Veiled Heritance agent named Aranias who was forced to join the Heritance in an attempt to assassinate the Wilderking. To foil the attempt, a Spinner in service to the Wilderking will send you into Aranias's story (basically her memories) to change her recollection so that you were her best friend and with her every step of the way. Several times, the Spinner makes it clear that you are not going back in time and changing the past, merely changing what Aranias believes happened so that she will trust you in the present. | |

Continuity Nod: Most of Molag Bal's generals that can appear at Dark Anchors appeared in previous games; Lord Dregas Volar, Hrelvesuu, Menta Na, Gedna Relvel, Kathutet, Amkaos, Ranyu, Anaxes, Medrike, and Velehk Sain. In Morrowind, there was a legendary enchanted dagger called the "Fang of Haynekhtnamet". If you find yourself in Shadowfen and wander southeast of Stormhold, you can actually fight him (or the latest member of a series of Haynekhtnamets). There is a chance that he will drop a unique dagger◊ Dark Brotherhood features Mirabelle Motierre, a presumed ancestor to Francois and Amaund Motierre of Oblivion and Skyrim respectively. Abnur Tharn, a supporting character in the main story, is an ancestor of the Big Bad of The Elder Scrolls: Arena. Recurring characters in downloadable content will have additional dialogue options if you did their quests previously. | |

Filler: Most downloadable content that are dungeon-packs or mini-zones are usually standalones and not part of a Story Arc. Clockwork City and the 2019 downloadable packs are exceptions, as they are parts of the Daedric War and Season of the Dragon arcs. For players that prefer solo-playing, the dungeon-packs can be viewed as this. | |

Draw Aggro | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_9f3857d5 | comment |
Draw Aggro: Puncture and Inner Fire are the only two skills that force an enemy to attack the user, and vital to any tank in dungeons. Taunts are deliberately designed to be single-target only, so that a tank can pull away a strong enemy to give their squishier teammates an easier time, instead of grabbing the attention of every hostile target in range, which could lead to the death of the taunting player. While it's usually enough to taunt a big enemy to face away from the damage dealers, most trial bosses will still have mechanics that affect other players than the tank that must be dealt with separately. Notably, however, having more than one player taunting a given target in too short of a time frame will lead to "Over-taunting", in which state the enemy will become immune to Taunts for a short while, which can be disastrous in trials. | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: Vampirism in Online has several key differences from the strains seen in previous games. Whereas typically, a vampire would burn in sunlight and therefore has to stay indoors until dark or go outside with headwear, vampires in Online can freely go about their business during the day without being hurt. They also do not need to feed, and feeding actually increases your vampirism stage instead of lowering it, like it did in Skyrim. | |

| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_a0db7803 | comment |
It's Personal: One of the reasons why Queen Ayrenn wants to take over Cyrodiil is to take revenge on Abnur Tharn, who had caused her great suffering several years ago. If you complete the storyline in Reaper's March before going to Northern Elsweyr, you have killed Javad Tharn, Euraxia Tharn's son. When you talk to her then, before she goes to the default conversation she will be furious at you for that. It's Up to You: Although the game averts making you The Chosen One or the only one who can defeat the zone or arc's villain, often circumstances on your way to the boss make you the only one able to do it. That, or not having a soul that could be taken or corrupted comes in handy where other mortals cannot do anything. | |

However, as the questline continues she begins to become obessed with the political power she now wields, gradually becoming just as ruthless and egomaniacal as the Telvani Magisters. Depending on your choices, she either falls completely down the other end and forsakes her former slave brethern, or is convinced to hold onto at least some of her original ideals and make good on her promise to free the slave Eoki. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Any of the three Disc-One Final Boss characters for each alliance; specifically, High Kinlady Estre, Angof the Undying, or Thallik Wormfather; has the chance to become this in Coldharbour. After being sent to Coldharbour for failing Molag Bal, they are forced to compete in a "game" where they have to use their minions to kill two of the others for a chance to get back into Molag Bal's good graces, and their minions consist of Mage's Guild members you have to rescue. At the end of the quest, you have a chance to either save the Disc-One Final Boss, or the Mages... or both, by threatening to kill the Observer over and over again until he gives in to your demands, which would permanently disrupt the game. The one you chose to save undergoes a Heel–Face Turn of sorts, and joins your army against Molag Bal. Lady Clarisse Laurent is a more comical example. While not an evil woman by any means, her single-minded obsession with uncovering ancient relics and artifacts often ends up getting innocent people hurt, killed or worse. And yet any attempt on the player's part to give her some comeuppance invariably fails and ends up affecting her manservant Stibbons instead. Ondendil is the only named member of the Veiled Heritance who is not convinced to defect, killed or otherwise brought to justice by the end of the Dominion questlines. A Shadow of Rajhin, a Khajiit god, stalked and harassed a married high elf woman in order to sleep with her. After being repeatedly refused, he "stole" her away to hide the shame she brought him, until she would be willing to sleep with him. Then, he "stole" her husband and home, so when she is finally released from her prison by you, she has nowhere to be with her husband gone, her home hidden and her time passed. The Shadow of Rajhin is never made to pay for this. Played with in regards to Governor Omellian in Seyda Neen. If you have Marise steal the document proving his involvement with the slavers terrorizing the town instead of doing it yourself, he will escape during the fighting, but his plans are in ruins, his allies are dead, he's been branded a traitor by Morrowind's government and he has a very pissed off Deputy Governor hot on his heels. Narsis Dren is a recurring Hate Sink for many players due to his huge ego and incompetence, with a tendency to patronize you, who are doing most of the work for him any time you meet him. Near the end of many of his quests, the player is usually given a sadistic choice to have some kind of tragedy befall him, such as being trapped in a sarcophagus or pushed down a well, which might feel cathartic at first, until you run into him again, and again, and again, with whatever comeuppance you've planned for him never sticking for long. In the epilogue of Thieves Guild's main quest, its entirely possible to let Cosh/Nicolas off scot free and allow him to con his new wife for all she's worth, on the condition that he never show his face in Hew's Bane again. | |

Revenue-Enhancing Devices | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_a7ebd729 | comment |
Revenue-Enhancing Devices: Surprisingly enough, not the quarterly DLC and occasional Loot Box releases, but rather housing. Online has a surprisingly large selection of homes for the player to acquire and furnish. Generally, houses located in base game areas can be purchased for (exorbitant sums of) gold unfurnished, whereas buying them with preplaced furniture will cost you (similarly-exorbitant sums of) Crowns, and DLC homes are only purchasable with the latter currency. And that's not even going into buying additional furnitures for them, since even pre-furnished ones can be rather scant in terms of decor. To a typical large house, a DLC or stack of loot boxes cost a pittance by comparison. Your homes will be the main resouce and Money Sinks during the late game as you've finalized your gear loadout, leading to many players joking that housing is the "true endgame" in Online. For a lot of players, housing is very Serious Business, and they will be more than happy to shell out whatever absurd amount of Crowns printed on the price tag to acquire virtual real estate, especially time-limited ones. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Exaggerated, since this takes place in nearly every province in Tamriel: The Great Houses of Morrowind casually engage in the slavery of Argonians and Khajiit, with some of them abandoning the practice (publicly) as a requirement of the Ebonhart Pact. With the release of Morrowind, you can find a warning from the Ordinators outright threatening heretics - which explicitly spells out worship of the Divines, Malacath, the Aldmeri Gods, and especially Daedra Worship - with "re-education" or execution if they practice their faith openly or proselytize. Also, if you are an Argonian, expect to get treated poorly by the locals, with interactions ranging from dirty looks to outright death threats. The Orc chiefs practice polygyny, and when you get the option to question this there is often someone who is unhappy by it but still stays due to traditions. The Double Standard is also addressed from time to time, with some Orcs justifying why polygamy applies to men but not to women. It is also a big deal in Wrothgar when a chief might be a woman, and she has to pose as a man to even be considered. An Orcish historian also states that even theorizing that a certain legendary Orc hero may have been a woman is considered scandalous. The Bosmer typically uphold the Green Pact, which maintains that plant life is sacred while animal and humanoid lives are expendable. Not following the Pact is considered the highest sacrilege, aside from one faction of Bosmer Combat Pragmatists who do not uphold the Pact due to wartime rules. The tenets of the Pact also impact Bosmer diet, making them strict carnivores and at times even cannibals. The Khajiit and Bosmer both have a positive outlook on theft, with there even being a common law about it called the Right of Theft. This law dictates that if a theft were clever or skillful enough, the thief may demand some sort of payment or boon from the victim. The victim's debt even applies to a new thief, if they take the item from the original one, as this is a plot point in a questline. The Khajiit celebrate casual drug use through Moon Sugar, a narcotic substance which is a key ingredient of skooma (although they look down upon skooma itself due to being too addictive and an appropriation). Several important rites of passage or ceremonies for ascension into positions of power involve going on Moon Sugar-induced Vision Quests. The Altmer, even at their most tolerant, are proud eugenicists with other elements of fascism. In particular, it is considered betrayal to marry or breed outside of their race, as they consider themselves the last "pure" example of the original Aldmeri. Less extreme Altmer may oppose the slavery, oppression or dehumanization (so to speak) of other races, but they still see them as unevolved, impure or child-like. In the House of Reveries in Summerset, you can read a play that's the Altmer version of Cinderella (a poor serving girl gets dressed up for a ball, hoping to woo a noble). However, the happy ending is that the noble has no interest, courts someone of his own class instead, and the serving girl realizes her folly in trying to rise above her station in life. | |

No-Sell: Sometimes when you attack an enemy - usually a boss - you will get a message at the top of the screen saying it is too powerful for effects like knockback or poison. Due to their racial lifestyle, certain playable races are resistant or outright immune to many harmful effects. One of several benefits to playing as a Bosmer is Acquired Poison Immunity. At level 25, you can unlock the Resist Affliction passive in the Wood Elf racial skill line that grants you complete immunity to the Poisoned status effect. In a similar vein, Argonians are immune to the harmful effects of the Diseased status effect. Being born and raised in the Grim Up North that is Skyrim, Nord Vestiges are immune to the Chilled CC effect from frost-based attacks. Similarly, Dark Elven Vestiges are immune to fire-based status effects due to them growing up in the volcanic province of Morrowind, where lava is everywhere and most of the indigenous wildlife also deals flame damage. | |

Alas, Poor Villain | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_ac09dc0f | comment |
Alas, Poor Villain: King Kurog in Orsinium. He truly wanted to further Orc rights and make them a people equal to all the other races, but went too far. His friend Bhalrog speculates he was also heavily manipulated by his mother. There is a grand funeral prepared for him due to what he meant for the Orcs. The Black Dragon from Dark Brotherhood. She was forced to kill her Sanctuary and then act as if nothing had happened, then was manipulated by the Order of Akatosh to exact revenge for their own goals. In the end, she is killed and brought to the Void by the Wrath of Sithis, terrified for her eternal soul. In the New Life Festival quest "Old Life Observance", some of the departed souls you can pay respects to include various villains and antagonists from previous content, most of whom either had sympathetic motives, tragic backstories, or both. In addition to Kurog, examples include Veya from the Daedric War arc, Kassandra from Murkmire, and Little Leaf from Craglorn. | |

Ouroboros: The game's logo has the three animals which represent the factions forming this sort of circle (lion for the Daggerfall Covenant, dragon for the Ebonheart Pact and eagle for the Aldmeri Dominion).

In the Alliance trailer, the Nord, Altmer, and Breton leaders (representing the Warrior, Mage, and Thief respectively) circle each other in the shape of the Ouroboros. | |

Breakable Weapons | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_af8974a3 | comment |
Breakable Weapons: Surprisingly averted for actual weapons, which do not degrade with use or player death. The most that can happen to them is running out of charges, if the weapons in question are enchanted. Played straight with armors, however, which will degrade with sufficient use (and you dying a lot) until they break, whereupon you will lose their protection values and set bonuses, if any. It used to be that equipment would also slowly lose its capabilities as it degraded (armor offered less physical resistance, weapons would hit for less), but that was mercifully patched out. | |

Armor-Piercing Attack | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_afc8ddc7 | comment |
Armor-Piercing Attack: Generally, certain classes will have access to some form of skills or passives that allow them to disregard a portion of the enemy's physical or magical resistances. Some boss enemies can do this to you as well, thus necessitating your own damage mitigation skills and healers if you're tanking. Weapons-wise, maces and mauls serve as an option to circumvent enemy armor by offering higher physical penetration, as does the Sharpened trait. On a more technical level, any attack that deals Oblivion damage inflicts the entire displayed amount to the target regardless of their resistances. | |

Convection, Schmonvection: Appropriately for the series, radiant heat is no big deal to anyone unless it's an explicitly-mentioned plot point. The majority of the Stonefalls questline has you questing around the hills and cliffs surrounding Ash Mountain, a freshly-erupted volcano with that's still spewing lava all over the place and destroying the landscape. Many of the quests even have you be fighting in or around lava floes that haven't even cooled yet, and yet nothing bad will happen to you should you linger, as long as you don't step into the actual lava itself. The Earth Forge, visited during the Fighters Guild questline, is a smithy placed smack-dab in the middle of a huge lava-filled cavern, with only a single tiny entrance for exhaust. Yet, nobody seems to feel anything negative while there, especially Merric at-Aswala, your resident blacksmith and armsman, who gets within spitting distance to the forge's searing hot coal bed with barely an apron on and some leather clothing, with much of his skin exposed to the heat. Later on, he switches his leathers for a full suit of platemail armor, which is arguably even worse all considering. | |

Darien is revealed to be suffering an And I Must Scream fate at the hands of Meridia, which also retroactively makes this a bittersweet ending for the main quest, in which Darien was your ally and Meridia was the closest thing to a Big Good. Not only that, but it's heavily implied that Meridia, once your ally, now holds a bitter grudge against you for "corrupting" her Knight. | |

Arbitrary Weapon Range | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_b1c4bc94 | comment |
In prior titles, archery is done by equipping a bow in your hand with arrows equipped in the inventory, hold block to aim, then hold down the attack button to draw the string back and release to fire, with the shot damage and travel distance being dependent on how long it was charged before firing. In Online, holding block with a bow...just has your character holding it up to their face and blocking, and hitting attack in that state will have you bash instead. Actually shooting is done by either tapping or holding the attack button, neither of which has any bearing on how far your arrows will fly since they will all hit whatever your crosshair is aimed at, as long as it is within their Arbitrary Weapon Range, with the only change being how much damage their impact will deal and, if it's a charged shot, restore a bit of stamina upon a valid hit. There is no longer a need to compensate for projectile arc by adjusting your aim height and draw weight. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: Soul gems, if stolen from merchants, can only be sold when taken to a Fence, if you're not going to launder them for later use. However, if a stolen soul gem is filled, it automatically becomes a legitimately "clean" item in your inventory, which can then be sold to normal shopkeepers, and will not be confiscated by guards when you're arrested. A player with the Soul Trap skill can literally scoop up every soul gem they can find, fill them with souls, and then selling them right back to the store owner they stole them from in the first place for a pretty penny. | |

Double Standard | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_b6cebad3 | comment |
The Orc chiefs practice polygyny, and when you get the option to question this there is often someone who is unhappy by it but still stays due to traditions. The Double Standard is also addressed from time to time, with some Orcs justifying why polygamy applies to men but not to women. It is also a big deal in Wrothgar when a chief might be a woman, and she has to pose as a man to even be considered. An Orcish historian also states that even theorizing that a certain legendary Orc hero may have been a woman is considered scandalous. | |

Inexplicably Preserved Dungeon Meat | |

Inexplicably Preserved Dungeon Meat: Leveling up the Provisioner skill line means having to be constantly checking the scenery for vegetables, fruit and meat to use in cooking, as it has no real "gatherer nodes" the other crafting lines have. What this means is that some spiderweb-filled, bug-riddled dungeons are basically Provisioner harvesting grounds, as they have a great number of crates and barrels (not hermetically sealed in the least) that somehow always contain perfectly preserved ingredients to make food and drink. | |

Demoted to Extra: The entire Western Skyrim hold of Falkreath is restricted to merely being a group dungeon instead of playing any part in the Greymoor storyline. In fact, it seems to have been excluded from all of Skyrim as far as the world map is concerned, being accessible from Craglorn of all places, which is part of Hammerfell. Likewise, the hold of Whiterun is similarly reduced to bit part references and doesn't make an actual appearance, even though there's still a huge whopping gap on the world map between Eastern and Western Skyrim where it should be; Dawnstar is similarly snubbed and isn't even mentioned as much as Whiterun is, even though a good portion of Western Skyrim's map also contains parts of the Pale, and the entire landmass that makes up Winterhold is just straight up missing. | |

Gendered Outfit: Crafting styles sometimes change depending on the character's gender, like binds or sashes to cover a woman's breast while the male's is bare, or occasionally give the female character a Cleavage Window. Averted with dresses and suits from the cash shop; men and women can wear them both. The Noble Clan-Chief costume you get from Elsweyr, though only slightly in that female characters show their belly while male characters cover the entire torso. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: In almost every zone there will be at least one quest where you will have to make such a choice. If you encounter two characters who care deeply for each other and accompany you on some sort of dangerous quest, prepare yourself for the moment when you inevitably have to sacrifice one of them for some reason or another. Gloria Fausta's questline in Glenumbra. She orders you to sacrifice her and use her blood to cure Duke Sebastien of lycanthropy, forcing you to choose between killing her (a brave and useful ally) or allowing Camlorn's leader to become a monster. The choice is extra sadistic because if you do not kill her, Duke Sebastien gets cured anyway. The sentencing of Princess Lakana's murderer. Either you kill a good man for a crime he did not want to commit or risk the Covenant losing Hammerfell's support. In Summerset, "Murder in Lillandril" has an agonizing choice: you can either allow Emile to be imprisoned for Haladan's murder even though his death was a tragic accident, or you can reveal the truth and have Haladan's memory stricken from all records forever, which is almost a Fate Worse than Death. | |

Finish Him! | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_bb6461b4 | comment |
Finish Him!: Refers to the "Execute" mechanic, whereupon certain abilities will start doing significantly higher damage to an enemy as their health dips low enough, allowing the player to finish the fight more quickly (e.g. the Nightblade class' Assasin's Blade skill and its morphs do 300% more damage to enemies at and below 25% health). The Execute threshold varies between abilities and specific encounters, but 50% and 25% are the most commonly used values. As a counterbalance to this, many dungeon and trial bosses will also start throwing out considerably harder hitting and complicated mechanics in this phase that can result in a Total Party Kill if not managed well. | |

I Shall Taunt You: This is the primary means for tanks to Draw Aggro towards them, by grabbing the attention of a big, important enemy so that they will not focus on their squishier healers and damage dealers. Many bosses will also taunt you, but not in the gameplay sense. Rather, if you rock up to the scene without actually starting the fight, they will constantly trash talk and heckle at you until you man up and attack them, and should you wipe, they will rub it in even further. | |

Adventurer Archaeologist: Tharayya from Volenfell and the Wrathstone dungeons.

With the Scrying and Excavation skill lines introduced in Greymoor, you yourself can become one, and a remarkably true to life one at that, since you'll be spending the majority of your time following leads to antiquity sites, carefully digging the items up by hand, and then sending them to the Antiquarian Circle for research and appraisal. | |

An Adventurer Is You | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_bcc2f921 | comment |
An Adventurer Is You: Many of the classes can take on the different roles, but... Templars are often healers, but are very versatile - they are good at tanking, damage-dealing, and have a dedicated skill line for healing magic. Dragon Knights tend to be tanks, who have good durability and AoE options. Nightblades tend to be your stealth specialists, with a lot of moves devoted to stealth, being undetected, or debilitating opponents Sorcerers have lots of ranged, magicka-based abliities, as well as being able to summon lesser Daedra to assist in combat. Wardens from the Morrowind update are a tanky support class that use animals for limited offense and enhancements, healing plants, and protective sheets and spikes of ice. Necromancers from the Elsweyr update use positioning around dead mobs and allies to strengthen abilities. | |

Cycle of Hurting | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_c121be7b | comment |
Cycle of Hurting: Many enemy types have heavy attacks that stagger or knock you down on your back for a considerable length of time, even if you do try to break out of their CC, and when faced with a lot of them, they can take turns wailing on you with these attacks, trapping you in a stunlock until you die or get lucky and find a break in their pattern to block. Almost any heavy attack can qualify, but special mentions go to Clannfears with their pounces, and the many variations of Zombies (Harrowfiends, bloodfiends, Ra-Netu, etc...), due to their tendency to travel in mobs. Being assaulted by three or more Clannfears at once is usually a death sentence for non-tanks. | |

Neck Snap | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_c2fc1ae | comment |
Neck Snap: Some of the dying animations have an NPC's chin directly over their shoulder bone while they fly in the direction you hit them in. When you are using a mace or an axe, it looks like you hit them in the head with so much blunt force, that you have snapped their neck. The fact that they simply flop over dead really helps this effect. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: If you've got a Companion tagging along with you and you've done enough things to piss them off, they will not hesitate to let you know how much they hate being with you, and them putting up with your antics up to that point was purely out of obligations and professionalism. Getting their rapport down to rock bottom will make them desert you entirely for a while. | |

Item Farming | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_c4acda54 | comment |
Item Farming: You want that legendary equipment? Then prepare to have a stock of legendary crafting items. This is particularly egregious with the jewelry crafting system introduced in the Summerset update, where you must collect ten crafting item parts to make one item, and you need four of them. | |

Mêlée à Trois | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_c6695a49 | comment |
Mêlée à Trois: The three playable warring factions in the game consist of the Aldmeri Dominion (Altmer, Bosmer, and Khajiit), the Ebonheart Pact (Dunmer, Nords, and Argonians), and the Daggerfall Covenant (Bretons, Redguards, and Orcs). As shown in various previews, this will be very common in PvP. Of particular note are sieges where the defenders may be attacked by forces from the other two factions but the two groups may also start attacking each other. At a landmark west of Ebonheart, Vivec's Antlers, there are a few sidequests dealing with one based around an invading Covenant force, the defending Pact soldiers, and Dreugh summoned by the artifact the Covenant is attempting to steal. One of the quests has you convincing the Dreugh that the Pact is defending the artifact too, stacking the battle against the Covenant. | |

Three-Stat System | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_c71f715c | comment |
Three-Stat System: Health, Magicka, and Stamina. All other stats are derived from points you invest into each stat. Health, as noted above, determines how hard you are to kill. Magicka determines not only how many spells you can cast, but how powerful they are (in conjunction with your Spell Power). Stamina is a lot like Magicka, in that it determines how many physical abilities you can use, but also their effectiveness. Dodge Rolls, Blocking, Sprinting, and breaking CCs also consume Stamina. Weapon Power also influences the power of Stamina-based abilities. Ultimate abiltiies break these rules! Ultimate abilities scale off of whatever your highest resources and power stats are (e.g. Flawless Dawnbreaker, which deals Physical damage, will derive its power based on Magicka, if Max Magicka is bigger than Max Stamina, and Spell Power, if Spell Power is bigger than Weapon Power.) Mounts get in on the action too! You can train one skill by one point daily, for 250 gold. You choose between speed, stamina which behaves like a defensive stat as well as increasing your mount's sprint capacity, and carry capacity, which augments your bag space. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: A book formerly in the game files (and possibly in the open beta), "Song of the Diamond Sword", uses Tobuscus' "I Can Swing My Sword" essentially word for word. There is a acceptance letter for a Wizarding School that sounds suspiciously similar to the one that Harry Potter received... One of the ships moored in Daggerfall's harbor is called the Lydia. When fighting in an arena in Reaper's March, the Player Character is given the stage name The Mysterious Stranger. A vampire character's feeding animation, where they rip the blood from a victim's body and make it fly into their mouth, is very similar to how Kain feeds in Blood Omen and Blood Omen 2. In Hew's Bane, you can find a Bosmer dressed in green with a large shield on their back sneaking past a guard. The way they're dressed makes them look like Link, and the surrounding scenery is reminiscent of the part of Ocarina of Time where you have to sneak past the palace guards. | |

My Species Doth Protest Too Much | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_c8bea4ec | comment |
My Species Doth Protest Too Much: There is a Dark Seducer in Coldharbour who does not want a mortal to suffer, feeling that he is too noble to deserve such a fate. Considering that Daedra usually do not even care if another of their kind tries to manipulate mortals, it is quite surprising that one will go out of her own way to help a mortal with nothing to gain. One quest in Summerset has you helping out both an Altmer/Maormer couple stop the latter’s old crew from taking over a keep. Depending on your choices, both of them will decide to renounce their allegiance to their provinces in order to run away and be together. In case you do not realize, both Altmer and Maormer hate each other. | |

While your clothes do warp and explode when you hulk up into a werewolf, blood scion, or bone goliath, they also rematerialize on your character when you revert back to your usual form no worse for wear, making it so that unlike the system in Skyrim, you're not nudified by the transformation itself. | |

Falling Damage: Present, like any other mainline Elder Scrolls title. Notably, falling damage is rather considerable just for dropping down from heights as low as a cabinet, and falling down one story is usually enough damage to instantly kill any non-tank, since fall damage is not mitigated by armor. | |

Legacy Character | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_c9e5a0db | comment |
Legacy Character: The Wilderking/-queen is always a mortal who takes up the mantle, losing the memories of who they originally were. There is a new Silvenar and Green Lady of the Bosmer once per generation. A portion of the Aldmeri Dominion quests involve helping the new Silvenar and Green Lady rise to power after the death of the current ones. It has been a mystery among lore-enthusiasts whether the Mane - the spiritual leader and representative of the Khajiit by birthright - is reborn upon death and thus there is only one Mane, or if there can be multiple Manes, or at least candidates, at a time. The Reaper's March confirms the latter, as you will meet two such candidates, called Lunar Champions, who are candidates to become the next Mane should the current one die or fail his duties in some way. You'll have to choose which of them becomes the next Mane after the current one resigns. Morrowind introduces the vigilante Scarlet Judge who fights crime and corruption in Vardenfell, whose mantle is passed to whoever the predecessor sees as worthy. | |

Series Continuity Error | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error: Soul gems are universal in Online and can hold any kind of soul. In prior titles, it had always been exhaustively established that only magically-corrupted black soul gems can hold souls of sentient beings, whereas typical "white" soul gems cannot. This was likely done to give players one less type of item to manage. While the Mages Guild did historically have a foothold in Skyrim during the Second Era, before being supplanted by their "official" counterpart, the College of Winterhold, no such excuse exists for why there are also Fighters Guild halls in Eastmarch and The Rift in Online. Per lore, the Fighters Guild never operated within Skyrim due to the existence of the Companions, their regional equivalent, who perform largely the same roles. Dwarven metal ore is inexplicably common in the game around the level 35-40 range and is a pretty low-tier material, despite the fact that the prior titles, especially Skyrim, have exhaustively described how the method of creating Dwemer metals have been lost to time, and the only way of getting fresh ingots was by recycling scrap items looted from their ruins. | |

We ARE Struggling Together | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_cbdd9a55 | comment |
We ARE Struggling Together: Various warring races have had to come together in order to form the three different Alliances. This is best illustrated in a piece of lore on the game's website, with a note found on the body of a Dunmer slaver. Though apparently the enslavement of Argonians has been made illegal by the Ebonheart Pact, Dunmer keep attempting to find their way around the law in order to continue the trade. The three alliances also form a confederation against Molag Bal later on, but only after a lot of infighting and hostility, and it took a concentrated Daedric assault and the Vestige chewing them all out for them to see reason. | |

This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_cce399 | comment |
This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: It is surprising how often having no soul can be useful in quests, especially story arcs that involve your character being killed in some manner. A regular mortal with a soul will most likely die for real, but the Vestige can keep getting resurrected due to their lack of it. And this goes beyond just being a mere gameplay mechanic, as the whole gimmick of the Vestige having no soul is the key to defeating Molag Bal and stopping the Planemeld from happening, since it requires a soulless individual to become the avatar of Akatosh and channel his powers. Had it been anyone else this wouldn't have worked, as Abnur points out in Council of the Five Companions. Outside of the main questline, your lack of a soul is also brought up every now and then as a potential advantage to thwarting the schemes of the evil of the week, such as in Deshaan, where you have to briefly die during the final quest to find a way to weaken Magistrix Vox. | |

Rock Monster: The Rock Atronach, a rare type of elemental monster.

The Air Atronach (found in Craglorn and one location in Vvardenfell) consists of floating rocks (presumably which the actual air elemental picks up and throws around), while the Iron Atronach (Forgotten Wastes, Vvardenfell) looks to be made more of ore than metal. | |

Killed Off for Real | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_cda501da | comment |
The climax of the Bangkorai chapter is made meaningless by how the game handles player character deaths. Basically, Septima Tharn's entire plot to cross over to the Far Shores was a plan to separate the Vestige from their soul link to Coldharbour that enabled them to revive every time they die, so that she can kill them there and be done with it. Of course, in a game where Death Is a Slap on the Wrist, you can still revive if you're so inclined and get back into the fight if Septima somehow manages to kill you. | |

A.I. Breaker | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_d0ea147f | comment |
A.I. Breaker: Many world bosses can be cheesed simply by finding an odd-looking part of the map geometry, usually a pillar or rock outcropping that cannot be reached without some finagling. While not all boss arenas have these features, many do, and unless a given boss can summon a lot of adds, has a pull ability to dislodge you from your vantage point, or a teleport skill to get right up there with you, which can be somewhat commonplace during the late game, nothing's going to stop you from simply sitting in one place raining arrows and spells down on their helpless heads. It gets even easier if your class has a reliable self-heal or Life Drain to counteract the damage dealt by ranged adds or the boss' own projectiles, though this kind of cheesing only applies to bow users or mages, for obvious reasons. | |

Vampires Are Sex Gods: Several vampires throughout the story, mainly Verandis Ravenwatch in the basegame, but especially in the vampire-themed Dark Heart of Skyrim arc. It is also lampshaded in a costume worn by a Markarth vampire: | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: In a series of letters from the woodcrafting hireling Margog the Hammer, he details his plans to have Constable Chedric permanently dealt with—by enlisting the Dark Brotherhood. However, he has a last minute of crisis of conscience exactly when the representative of the Dark Brotherhood arrives to take his contract. So how is this solved? | |

Dreadful Musician | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_d4e9de59 | comment |
Dreadful Musician: Vigard the Sparrow, the off-key bard who was run out of Gnisis in the Morrowind expansion. There is an audio clip nicknamed "shittyflute" that features a flute playing a very off-key rendition of Red Diamond. Not only can you find some non-playable characters in the Dark Brotherhood missions playing this tune, but they also added it as a placeholder to the "Auditory Simulator" factotum in the Clockwork City, and kept it because the idea that a robot does not know how to properly make music was hilarious. In Summerset, there is an Altmer playing a lute very badly at the headquarters of the House of Reveries. A nearby member of the troupe tells you that the musician hopes to join the troupe, and if you point out that he is not good, he will agree, but point out that every beginner starts somewhere. | |

Highly-Visible Ninja: However your outfit looks like has absolutely no bearing on your overall sneakiness when it comes to actual gameplay. As sneaking is determined entirely by class skill, armor type, and line of sight, you can strut around wearing the brightest, shiniest suit of platemail you can find, with brightly glowing visual effects, stealing everything that's not nailed down and landing critical sneak attacks like nobody's business, and not a single soul would realize you're right there in front of them if you're still fully stealthed. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Most of Craglorn's content is designed and balanced for group play...except for the Hollowing Sepulchere Delve, which is balanced for solo play like normal Delves due to clearing it being a requirement for the Clockwork City prologue quest. An example of a post-release feature being implemented into the game would be Vitality Bonuses when running veteran trials. Prior to this introduction, all veteran trials had an alloted amount of "lives" for your current party, at around 500 respawns per attempt, which sound like a lot, but when taking into consideration just how many times you will likely die during a run, now multiplied by at least twelve, it really adds up. With Vitality Bonuses replacing lives, now it's an incentive for teams to try and clear contents with as few deaths as possible, and is only really of importance if they're running for a spot on the weekly leaderboards, instead of clenching themselves when a boss fight happens to avoid drying out their team's shared stock. Merchants no longer have a gold reserve in their inventories for use in trading, so you can theoretically pawn off half of Tamriel's collective gold value in junk items to the innkeeper down the street in one go, without having to carefully balance between buying and selling to keep their coin purse in the positive, as you had to in the mainline titles. | |

When Rajhin suggests they both have the same tastes, she suggests he feasts upon himself when she refuses him. | |

One of several benefits to playing as a Bosmer is Acquired Poison Immunity.

In a similar vein, Argonians are immune to the harmful effects of the Diseased status effect. | |

Bad Future: One of the final quest arcs in Reaper's March involves travelling to and exploring a potential future where Javad Tharn's plan to conquer Elsweyr succeeds, and the Disaster Dominoes this would inflict on the Dominion. Basically, the Khajiit are enslaved by Javad, the Bosmer willingly become slaves to the Wild Hunt in a desperate attempt to save themselves, the Veiled Heritance is reformed under Ayrenn's bitterly disillusioned Battlereeve and successfully assassinates almost all of the Dominion's remaining leadership, and what's left of the Dominion is conquered by the combined forces of the Covenant and Pact as Ayrenn prepares to make a suicidal Last Stand. | |

Continuity Snarl | |

Continuity Snarl: Shalidor mentions reassembling the fragments of the Numidium. However at the time of the game, the Numidium is still intact (and in the safekeeping of the Tribunal). Non Player Characters in Morrowind note that the Tribunal haven not made their annual pilgrimage to Red Mountain, a reference to the events of Morrowind. However the return of Dagoth Ur will not take place for another 300 years. That said, there might be other reasons the Tribunal are not making the pilgrimage like being busy with the Alliance War. The Lusty Argonian Maid, a recurring joke since its inception in Morrowind makes an appearance in Online. The play's author, Crassius Curio would not even be born for another eight hundred years or so. An in-game newspaper contains a review of the play, which handwaves its early existence as being a traditional story with many derivatives based around the other races. Ruminations of the Elder Scrolls was written in 4E 195 by Septimus Signus, but is found in the library of the Cult of the Ancestor Moths in Cyrodiil. However, the Moth Priests deal with Elder Scrolls, which have all manner of unusual effects on more or less everything, so it's very possible some shenanigans occurred in a later time that sent a copy of the book back to the Second Era. | |

Turns Red: Certain enemies will do this if they are enraged, whereupon they will start doing significantly more damage and/or take drastically less in turn. Having a few enraged enemies in a fight will considerably ramp up the difficulty, whereas having an enraged boss in a dungeon or trial will usually result in a Total Party Kill. Naturally, you don't want this to happen too often. | |

| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_e3c36782 | comment |
Call-Forward: The Morrowind chapter reveals the reason why Mistress Dratha does not allow men in Tel Mora during the events of the third game. Turns out, she's a believer of the Nerevarine Prophecy (which was foreshadowed beforehand) and in order to make sure that the Nerevarine will show up, sells her soul to a Dremora in exchange for immortality. The Dremora states that he will return for her in disguise as a mortal man, hence her banning all men from living in Tel Mora. During the temporal displacement shenanigans in Nchuthnkarst, Kireth Vanos mentions suddenly finding herself in Morrowind, but Vivec City is a smoldering crater and the larger part of Vvardenfell had already sunken below the sea, foreshadowing the events of the Red Year that would take place about a millennium later during the Fourth Era. Speaking of Morrowind, its main questline centers around a Daedric plot to sap Vivec of his divine powers. During the last third of the chapter story, Vivec had become so devoid of strength that his grip on the Ministry of Truth began to falter, causing Bar Daau to start resuming its course again, only to be halted once more when the Vestige restored power to the living god. Pretty much the same thing happened after the conclusion of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, only this time Vivec's powers are irrevocably removed from him, and with his disappearance a short while later, Bar Daau finally crashed onto Vvardenfell, resulting in the events of the Red Year. While adventuring through the Depths of Malatar, you can come across a letter that mentions Umaril the Unfeathered, whom the Hero of Kvatch will fight in the same location during the finale of the Knights of the Nine questline in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Deadlands has you work with Divayth Fyr on tracking down the source of the counterfeit Ebony Blade. At the end of the quest, he gained some knowledge on how to replicate the ability, setting up an explanation as to why Volendrung in Morrowind was unenchanted. When you progress through the Morrowind main questline, you will meet and talk with Volrina Quarra, still in her human Imperial form, in Molag Mar. She mentioned that she was attacked by vampires of the Berne clan in Galom Daeus (which at this point is already a Berne clan lair), losing her brother Vergillius in the process, and has been wanting to seek revenge. Volrina would later form her own vampire clan from her bloodline in Morrowind. | |

Nerf | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_e545e190 | comment |
Wood Elves as a whole are these from a gameplay standpoint. They have no racial bonuses to health and survivability beyond Poison and Disease resistance, instead featuring a suite of passives that promote a fast-moving, hard to hit playstyle revolving around stamina weaponry. Prior to their major Nerf in Update 30, the typical Wood Elf would additionally be dodge rolling all over the place to keep proccing their Hunter's Eye passive, which puts them into Glass Cannon territory. | |

| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_e563bf09 | comment |
Insistent Terminology: Abnur Tharn will correct anyone who calls Euraxia Tharn his sister, she is his half-sister, thank you very much. And it is very much the same from her side. He is also trying really hard to make "rage" the term of venery for dragons. When Abnur Tharn calls Khamira Princess, as was her title before Euraxia usurped the throne, she insists that she is Queen and has not been a princess in a long time, as the title was hers the moment her father died. He does not make the same mistake again. | |

Hate Sink | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Narsis Dren is a recurring Hate Sink for many players due to his huge ego and incompetence, with a tendency to patronize you, who are doing most of the work for him any time you meet him. Near the end of many of his quests, the player is usually given a sadistic choice to have some kind of tragedy befall him, such as being trapped in a sarcophagus or pushed down a well, which might feel cathartic at first, until you run into him again, and again, and again, with whatever comeuppance you've planned for him never sticking for long. | |

Suspiciously Specific Denial: The Argonian carpenter in Alinor is most certainly not an Ebonheart Pact spy, but he'll gladly listen to any Dominion gossip you're willing to share. In the Blackwood quest involving the Shrine to Nocturnal, the guy you're supposed to find is whispering with someone else, and as you approach he realizes they're being watched and announces, "This is a completely normal stroll through the streets." | |

Divide and Conquer | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_e7bfdba | comment |
Divide and Conquer: Certain trials actually offer opportunities to do this. As of the time of writing, only two trials have this as an applicable mechanic, Cloudrest and Asylum Sanctorium, where the main map technically only has one big boss fight, but the players are given the choice to track down and kill off the smaller minibosses on the sides before engaging the central enemy itself. If a miniboss is killed separately, it will not appear later on during the main fight, and its mechanics skipped. As a tradeoff, finishing a trial with fewer miniboss adds will reward lesser loot, while beating a run with every possible side boss in the same fight will award the most gear, typically in the highest quality available. | |

Loot Boxes: Crown Crates, which are usually only purchaseable through the real-money-only "Crowns" currency, though are also given as a bonus when leveling up characters and occasionally a few are given as a daily login bonus during particular events. They contain four rewards (about a 15-20% of there being a 5th reward) consisting of consumables and cosmetics. If you get a collectible that you already own, or wish to exchange your consumables, you get "crown gems" that can be used to purchase individual items from the crate outright. | |

The College of Illumination quest in Summerset is hilarious for most of its rune, what with the innate absurdity of how most of the students and teachers are acting...then, towards the end of the quest, the Monster of the Week gets pissed due to your meddling and the quest suddenly becomes a frantic chase through the academy's library to stop her before she unleashes a horde of literary monsters onto the school.] | |

Equal-Opportunity Evil | |

Equal-Opportunity Evil: The Gray Host is a small confederation of powerful vampires, werewolves, werebats, and various types of undead, who schemed to enslave and rule over the mortal races of Tamriel during the First Era before being slain by the Bangkorai Garrison, and now serve Molag Bal in undeath. Additionally, their rank also has a very diverse racial background, being led by a Redguard, and an Altmer, a Nord, and a Reachman serve as their more notable Exarches (or served, in the case of the Altmer, who's none other than Verandis Ravenwatch). Their founder was a Nedic king, as well. | |

Lockpicking Minigame | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_ea08697a | comment |
Lockpicking Minigame: You are shown five pins on springs and must press down on each one until the right moment (when it starts to shake slightly), and then release. If you push it down too far, the lockpick will break; if it is not far enough, then it simply will return to its normal position (although repeated attempts may still break the lockpick). It is also has a time limit based on the difficulty of the chest: The more difficult the lock, the less amount of time is given to open it. It is also worth noting that picking any lock the first time on a character reveals the Legerdemain skill line, which helps you pick locks, pockets, bribe guards, and sneak around a little bit better. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Late in Orsinium, sacrificing Talviah to gain the trust of the Vosh Rakh and learn their ultimate plan is clearly meant to be seen as the "evil" choice, but the ending of the main quest you get from sparing him is arguably considerably more depressing than if you kill him, as High Priestess Solgra dies and Eveli is left broken by her death. | |

Time Loop Trap | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_ec57843 | comment |
Time Loop Trap: The quest for the Rubble Butte delve in Bangkorai concerns one such time loop, where a local witch named Edwyge attempted to emulate a Dragon Break in order to usurp the throne of Evermore from queen Arzhela, but ended up trapping herself and her coven alongside the quest giver in the ruins, doomed to endlessly reliving the final hours of their ritual for an eternity. Based on the note found in the final chamber, it would seem that your arrival has been predestined, as Edwyge mentions being killed by a stranger running into her every time the time loop is reset. Also doubles as Gameplay and Story Integration, since in this remote case it gives a clear reasoning for delve's repeatable nature, and why the boss and lesser mobs would respawn after a while. | |

Deconstructed Character Archetype | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_ec9a5f50 | comment |
Deconstructed Character Archetype: Of Superior Species. Summerset has pretty much shown how the perfectionism of the Altmer have affected their land. The cities are indeed beautiful, but there are plenty of ruins and slums hidden underneath for the seedy underbelly. Their magic is indeed advanced, but they are afraid that other races are catching up to them and there are strict politics in magic. The people there are indeed beautiful and smart, but that is because they cast out anyone with any disability. The separation of the land of the Altmer from everyone else does give the land unique beauty, but at the same time, unique problems no other provinces have as well such as invasive species, Maormer, and the Sload. | |

Fighter, Mage, Thief | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_edae412c | comment |
Fighter, Mage, Thief: The three main fighting styles. The four release classes were themed after this dynamic, with Dragonknights being Fighters, Templars and Sorcerers being Mages, and Nightblades are the Thieves, while the later additions like Warden and Necromancer tend to fit better with the second group. That being said, these do not necessarily apply strictly to any of the six classes due to their generally flexible kit options. These specializations are also represented through the three leading Celestials, the Mage, Warrior and Thief. Additionally, the three races that comprise each of the three factions are also provided with this balance in mind, though a few of them have racial bonuses that can blur the lines somewhat, especially after the reworks of Update 30, hence why some of them can appear under several categories. Fighters: These are races with high natural fortitude, and thus tend to serve best as tanks. Nords, Argonians, and Imperials fit the bill best, with Redguards and Bretons coming up second. Mages: Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and covers both healers and damage dealers. Bretons and High Elves are the prime candidates, with Khajiits and Dark Elves also being strong contenders. Argonians also qualify, but their racial passives tend to skew more towards healing than damage dealing. Thieves: The diametric opposites of Mages, they tend to be great stamina damage dealers. Orcs, Wood Elves, Khajiits, and Dark Elves are the usual picks for this role. | |

They apparently sometimes do cross the ocean to the mainlands, though, as you can find some of them in Northern Elsweyr. That, or they are (perhaps illegally) imported due to the Aldmeri Dominon alliance. | |

Stamina is a lot like Magicka, in that it determines how many physical abilities you can use, but also their effectiveness. Dodge Rolls, Blocking, Sprinting, and breaking CCs also consume Stamina. Weapon Power also influences the power of Stamina-based abilities. | |

War Is Hell | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: Various raids by enemy forces result in the destruction of farms and villages, the deaths of families, and, if the attackers are not careful, the releasing of curses and other monstrosities that the Playercharacter then has to clean up. While the Three Banners War spilling outside of Cyrodil is limited to sidequests and delves for both the Covenant and the Dominion, the Pact deals with this trope full force, as two of its five main questlines involve combatting a massive attempt by the Covenant and the Dominion to invade and conquer Stonefalls and Shadowfen, respectively. The Shadowfen arc is particularly dark due to the Dominion Arc Villain making it clear that his goal is nothing less than genocide of the entire Argonian race. | |

Square Race, Round Class | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_f2ec21d | comment |
Square Race, Round Class: Possible, but strongly discouraged in many cases where min-maxing is considered. Although you are free to choose whatever class-role-race combo you feel like, some races are just that much better at certain positions than others due to their racial passives, and selecting a role not suitable for your character can end up handicapping you in the long run, especially for damage-dealers, where every point of magicka or stamina matters (e.g. a Breton Stamina Nightblade will be greatly outperformed by an Orc of the same setup, while a High Elf Sorceror will trump a Nord one). It's less of a concern for healers and tanks, however, where the extra stats are nice to have, but won't make the races that don't have them invalid - you just need to allocate your points differently or use sets and enchantments that make up for any shortages you might run into. | |

Arbitrary Headcount Limit | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_f3cf30d9 | comment |
Arbitrary Headcount Limit: Enforced in PvE. Dungeon parties are limited to four players, and trial groups twelve, regardless of if you're going up against a local warlord or a Daedric cult that threaten the very existence of every mortal on Nirn itself with their schemes. To make things even more ridiculous, story quests are strictly singleplayer-only, which often pit you against Daedric Princes that threaten to consume Nirn on a whim and make the typical trial bosses seem like small peanuts by comparison. In the game's extended lore, the Welkynar gryphon knights of Summerset. There can only be exactly four Welkynars active at any point in time, representing the four cardinal directions. While they can take on apprentices, these charges are not considered fully-fledged members until their mentors die or retire from service, whereupon they will take up the positions of their predecessors. | |

Razor Wind: The Set Bonus for wearing five Arms of Relequen gear pieces allows the player to apply a stack of Harmful Winds onto anything they hit, which manifests as a small whirlwind around the target that lacerates them once per second, and hitting them again will add more stacks for increased damage. Many enemy types also wield wind-like powers against the player. | |

It also offers the Imperial Edition of the game (adds the ability to be the Imperial race, plus has a few items) and the Adventurer Pack (which adds the ability to play any race in any alliance - something previously only available from preordering the game - and also contains a few items), and DLC. | |

Stone Wall | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_f63b4f6a | comment |
Stonewall: Naturally, tanks. The Heavy Armor and One-handed and Shield skill lines are hyper-focused on improving your damage resistance and survivability in a fight, which is vital for a role whose job is to Draw Aggro from bosses and dangerous monsters. Certain class skills will further improve your tankiness as well. The trade-off to this is that tanks are naturally very slow, even more so with specific damage-mitigating skills active like Immovable, which grants incredible block mitigation at the cost of basically nailing you in place if you're not wearing lighter armor, and the Bracing Anchor red CP star which grants you even more mitigation at the cost of a 16% movement speed reduction. Using both together turns you into a veritable bulwark that can shrug off insane amounts of damage with your shield, but you might as well be rooted into place while their effects are active, which can be dangerous at times. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: For all the death, destruction, and betrayal that occurs, the ending of the "Legacy of the Bretons" arc is surprisingly upbeat. Lord Bacaro is defeated, ending the Ascendant Order's threat once and for all, Frii becomes the new Guardian Entity of the Systers, the Society of the Steadfast is able to continue its original mission of helping war refugees under Captain Margurite, Stefan Monard begins making progress in improving relations between the Breton nobles and the Druidic Circles, the Circles themselves begin to become more open and allied with each other now that Orliath is no longer corrupting the Firesong, and most important of all, the Alliance leaders finally begin the negotiations towards ending the Alliance War, and while there's no guarentee it will work, the newfound respect the leaders have for each other after everything that's happens indicates that there is a chance. | |

Invoked and exploited. Orc chiefs in clans and strongholds marry several wives to keep bonds between clans, but also so the wives will lead various sections of the clan depending on the order they married him. For example, the first wife is always the hunt-wife, responsible for hunting food and produce for the clan; the second wife is the forge-wife, responsible for overseeing the mining and blacksmithing Orcs are famous for, and the third wife is the hearth-wife, who takes care of the home and cooking. All the wifes are still expected to be able to fight to provide the chief the strongest heirs. | |

Dude, Where's My Respect? | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_f818b637 | comment |
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Zig-zagged. On the one hand, most zones allow you to accomplish feats that NPCs are scripted to remark upon, and sometimes even make enemies no longer spawn, and NPCs will usually praise your efforts. On the other hand, if you cross the arbitrary line that makes you enter another zone, you get little respect, and more petty, dangerous, dirty jobs, to boot. Argonians in Vvardenfell should not expect any respect from the locals, given the long standing rivalry. But even after you have saved the continent, the only Dunmer who will respect you are Vivec and the people of Vivec City. This also applies to the Khajiit, albeit to a lesser extent. In Vvardenfell, one of the daily quests involves tax fraud. You might have saved Vivec and Vvardenfell, an even the world multiple times, but tax fraud seems to be a fitting job for you, apparently. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: If you have unlocked the Fighters Guild passive "Intimidation", you sometimes get dialogue options that are meant to threaten or scare the non-playable characters to do what you want. Sometimes you might meet a stranded merchant, and you can threaten them to give you all their money. There is even an achievement called "Crime Pays" if you do that in every base-game zone. You have the option to push someone down a well during a quest. After helping an Adventurer Archaeologist through two tombs you get to what was supposed to be a Treasure Room but is now empty. Off to one side of it is a well. When you talk with the archaeologist to complete the quest you can trick him into thinking that perhaps all of the treasure is down the well. When he walks over and looks down you can then push him in. You can choose to help slavers get escaped slaves back, or betray the slavers begging for your help. With Tirwin, she does not let you get away with it, and calls you responsible as a bystander. | |

Running Gag | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: The game continues some that have made regular appearances in the Elder Scrolls franchise: M'aiq the Liar appears once again, and you can bake sweetrolls and Fishy Sticks. And yes, The Lusty Argonian Maid also makes its return. One running gag has escalated from previous games. Once again, the player character starts as a prisoner. However, the prisoner is essentially killed off in the introduction in order to bring them to Molag Bal's realm of Coldharbor. This continues in the Chapters, which each has a new tutorial for new characters: In Morrowind, you are taken by slavers from a shipwreck and must escape; in Summerset, you are in a mind-prison, and in Elsweyr, you are locked in a room for your own comfort, though the key is right by the door. Each of the quests involving Narsis Dren give you a choice of screwing him over at the very end. And considering his attitude, you will be sorely tempted to do so each time. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: Typically, certain trial and dungeon bosses will use special abilities once their health has been lowered to specific thresholds, presenting additional mechanics that the players must adapt to or risk a total wipe. Should the team's combined damage output be high enough to rapidly cross these thresholds, however, a given boss can be bursted down in short order without ever transitioning to a mechanic phase. Do note that not all bosses can be dealt with this way, as some will render themselves invulnerable while the mechanic phase is in progress, cause the mechanics to be rushed up way faster than they'd normally be and making things very confusing for the players assigned to handle themnote Certain boss mechanics will have a cooldown or upper "safe" limit on veteran or hard mode (e.g. in Veteran Imperial City Prison, on Hard mode of the final boss, a player entering Lord Warden Dusk's portals, which they will need to every now and again to avoid his One-Hit Kill Darklight Blast, will be given a "Feedback" debuff once they use the Brace for Impact synergy, and will die immediately if they try to do that again before it comes off cooldown), which will kill or severely debuff the assigned players if they are allowed to happen too quickly and too often, or will enrage and/or cause a wipe should they be dealt too much damage in a short amount of time. This type of sequence breaking can best be observed in Dragons in particular, who will typically take off at every 25% health loss, during which they will fire special attacks and cannot be hit until they perch or land again, while a large mob of players dealing high enough damage to cross these thresholds can permanently ground a Dragon and wail on it until it dies. | |

Brick Joke: The Alliance Trailer begins with a Nord fighting undead Werewolves in a cave. At the end of the trailer, one of those werewolves bursts out of the ground in an attempt to flee, only to be quickly dragged back under by the Nord, who climbs out himself a second later. | |

Critical Hit Class | |
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Video Game) / int_fe069e49 | comment |
Critical Hit Class: Nightblades. Although crit chance is basically the One Stat to Rule Them All, it's especially vital for nightblades, who live and die based on the dice roll of their criticals, as the class by itself doesn't deliver nearly as DPS damage as the more outright "offensive" kits such as Sorcerer or Templar, but has a strong emphasis on dealing high bonus damage augmented by criticals, which is further bolstered by the Pressure Point and Hemorrhage passives. A high-crit Nightblade who has hit their stride can deal disgusting amounts of damage if they can maintain pressure on their target, which is further amplified the lower said target's health is. Even for the much less popular Nightblade tanks and healers, the class' innately high crit lean can still be vital for scoring critical heals, which are among some of the best restorative potentials in the game if your dice roll is good. | |
