Yes, The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) has a rich and expansive story that spans multiple regions of Tamriel, with both a main narrative and numerous side quests. Heres an overview of its storytelling: Main Storylines Base Game (2014) "The Three Alliances" & "The Planemeld" - The original story revolves around the war between the Aldmeri Dominion, Daggerfall Covenant, and Ebonheart Pact as they fight for control of the Ruby Throne. - Meanwhile, the Daedric Prince Molag Bal attempts to merge Tamriel with his realm of Coldharbour in an event called the Planemeld. - The "Main Quest" (tied to the Prophet and the Five Companions) follows your characters journey to stop Molag Bal. Chapters & Expansions (Post-Launch Stories) Each major expansion introduces a new self-contained storyline while contributing to larger arcs: - Morrowind (2017) Features Vivec and a threat from House Dagoth. - Summerset (2018) Focuses on the Daedric Triad (Nocturnal, Mephala, Clavicus Vile). - Elsweyr (2019) Dragons return, led by Kaalgrontiid. - Greymoor (2020) A vampire-centric story in Western Skyrim. - Blackwood (2021) Introduces the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon. - High Isle (2022) A political thriller in the Systres Archipelago. - Necrom (2023) Explores Hermaeus Moras realm and the return of Telvanni secrets. Year-Long Sagas Some expansions are part of multi-chapter arcs: - The Daedric War Saga (Morrowind Clockwork City Summerset). - The Season of the Dragon (Elsweyr Dragonhold). - The Dark Heart of Skyrim (Harrowstorm Greymoor Markarth). - The Gates of Oblivion (Flames of Ambition Blackwood Deadlands). - Legacy of the Bretons (Ascending Tide High Isle Firesong). - Shadow Over Morrowind (Scribes of Fate Necrom Scions of Ithelia [upcoming 2024]). Side Stories & Faction Quests Each alliance (AD, DC, EP) has its own faction storyline (e.g., the Aldmeri Dominions conflict with the Veiled Heritance). Every zone has self-contained side quests with deep lore (e.g., the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild DLCs). Craglorn features a unique celestial-themed story. How to Experience the Story? You can play in any order, but the chronological sequence follows release dates. The game has a "Journal" system that tracks quests, and the "Prologue" quests introduce upcoming DLCs. NPCs like Lyris Titanborn, Abnur Tharn, and Razum-dar recur across expansions. Is the Story Good? Fans praise ESOs writing, especially in expansions like Summerset and Morrowind. Unlike Skyrim, ESO focuses on world-building and faction politics rather than a single "Chosen One" narrative. Would you like recommendations on where to start?

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
