    As the previous DLC, Imperial City, Orsinium increases dramatically the amount of hours you can spend in with The Elder Scrolls Online. The new Maelstrom Arena is an interesting novelty and for many it will be a pleasure helping King Kurog rebuild the capital of his kingdom.

    Orsinium won't win back any lapsed players with its familiar content, but for those still invested in The Elder Scrolls Online, it provides an interesting new land that's full of dangerous enemies and lengthy questlines. It's perhaps a shame that the expansion doesn't try to tweak or evolve the existing formula, but with so much to see and do, Wrothgar is still a tempting holiday destination for those with an itch for adventure.

    More than medi-orc-re, but less than spectacular, Orsinium seems more like a holdover expansion than an overall addition to the ESO experience.

It mayFor those who had fun with the main game 'Orsinium' should be very enjoyable. The story is perhaps one of the best in the game so far. It may not reach the narrative level of the TW3-dlc 'Hearts of Stone' but I found it very entertaining. Also you get a whole new area to explore but although it's big, IMO there's not that much to actually look at and explore. Fortunately there are enough quests in it to distract from that issue (it took me something like 20 hours to complete it). Plus there are quite a few nice little puzzles this time so the gameplay doesn't get boring too fast. And the lore is pretty interesting this time.

    If your character isn't strong enough yet for this DLC, he/she gets an upgrade whenever you are in this area. So everybody has a fair chance. I only used a bow (vereran 5) and most of the time it went fine. A few fights were challenging for me but it should be no problem to do this as single player experience.

    Overall: surprisingly good dlc although the new area looks a bit boring. I would give 'Orsinium' a 77%.    … Full Review »
