TBH I can see why people enjoy AD, the main story actually makes you feel like a hero simply due to your interactions with the Queen herself. I think DC is similar in the sense that you meet the King early on and start working for him as well, but my time in EP never really had that connection as you always seem to be working for the underlings.
I definitely agree with that so far, though I haven't gotten in to Mournhold yet. Is that the "capital"? Shockingly, I'm gonna say that the melee combat in this MMO is way way more fun than the combat in the other ES games ever was
Yeah I believe Mournhold is the capital of the area. Was able to play though all of the available PvE content for EP in the beta, has some lovely areas really. Melee is super fun in PvE, fun in skirmishes in PvP as well.
Lvl 23 for me now, just finished the 2nd area for AD (Excluding the starter isle which I have done as well). Very enjoyable so far, also like the little touch of having the game create books about you as you complete the main quest, usually left on the table near the prof
The great thing is, if you just cross out "ESO" that comic could be re-used for just about every fantasy MMORPG I've ever seen...
