⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ "I Went to Save Tamriel, but All I Got Was a Pet Guar and a Daily Crafting Addiction"

Ah, The Elder Scrolls Online. I thought I was signing up to be the hero of Tamriel, vanquishing Daedric princes and restoring peace to the land. Turns out, I’ve spent 97% of my time collecting flowers, stealing from urns, and chasing after a giant lizard I named "Jeff."

The quests are epic, sure, if you can stay focused long enough to finish them. But let’s be honest... once you start a crafting line, you're done for. One minute, you're battling world-ending evils; the next, you're glued to crafting stations on all characters completing your daily endeavors.

Combat is fun too. Until you forget which skill bar you're on, and instead of slashing that vampire lord, you accidentally throw a healing spell at them. And the PvP? Yeah, it’s great... as long as you're okay with getting repeatedly stomped by someone wearing armor made of literal furniture.

But what really keeps me hooked? The Guar pets. I mean, why else would I explore an ancient dungeon if not for the chance to get another useless-yet-adorable companion? I now have an army of them. Do they help in battle? Absolutely not. Do I love them more than anything? Absolutely.

If you're looking for an epic adventure that makes you feel powerful, capable, and, occasionally, like a complete buffoon, ESO is for you.
