    Damn that’s pretty awesome. So this is the actual developer of ESO, that is spending time making their game compatible with Linux?

      Sounds like it — it was posted by The Elder Scrolls Online, not Valve. (Edit: Yes, of course this still means Proton.)

    Does it still needs eso+ subscription to be fun? I’ve heard without eso+ there was something shitty about tiny inventory space or something

      It’s not the normal inventory, that’s fine, it’s that if you pay for eso+ you get a separate limitless inventory for crafting, and TBH I couldn’t imagine playing without it and still interacting with the crafting system.

      Have you tried it? I played the beta and didn’t care for it, but a few years after release I tried it again, with a different mindset, and enjoyed it. I played it for a few months then. It’s not the best MMO I’ve played, but it’s good enough. If you want a pretty casual MMO in the Elder Scrolls world, it does the job fine enough. I personally don’t think it does enough to push you to socialize (most MMOs now have moved away from this), but it’s a decent single-player theme park with plenty of interesting things to do.
