I don't know, they dropped the monthly sub didn't they

I think so. But I'm sure I read something about them going free to play and spamming cosmetics to sell.

There have been rumours it would go F2P since it launched lol. Hopefully buying it now will give a premium version if it does happen to go F2P.

Ah, fair enough.

[Mr Mystery]

Yep. I keep thinking 'why not?' but then I remember it doesn't support mods, and a ES game without mods is like something without something integral to that something.

Bacon buttie without HP.

Toast without Marmite.

Jimmy Carr without an entirely unjustified smug, self important expression?

HP on a bacon butty is heresy. Bread, butter, bacon. The 3Bs intergral to a bacon butty.

And don't get me started on marmite

ESO is B2P. Just grab the core game and that's it. If you think of it like an ever-expanding single-player game, you won't be too disappointed. It does feel kind of odd, because it's almost familiar but not quite with how it works. Lack of fast travel like the normal TES games have can be a bit meh at times. It's not bad, but it's not exactly amazing either. At the right price, I'd say it's worth getting to provide some entertainment.

On the single-player MMO front, thought, SWTOR is probably a better option.


On a different note... I finally fired up This War of Mine on Sunday for the first time. My first game ended last night. It was kind of a disaster. Apparently I need to make weapons before beds, and arm everyone. Survivors get sad when they get raided, but also get sad when you go and take stuff from any location that other people are occupying. And if you have to get in a fight, your survivor will be mopey as heck. I might be able to make it work better on another attempt, but it's super-depressing and, added to the difficulty, that makes it not an ideal choice for just trying to relax after a long day at work. Even Cities: Skylines isn't that stressing.
