The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road is now available on PC and Mac. This new chapter offers "30 hours of main quest content" all set in the new area of West Weald. There is a new Scribing system to learn, new stories outside of the main quest, and a new Daedric Prince.
The new Scribing system will let players craft and customize their abilities to better fit their playstyles. The new area, West Weald, borders Cyrodiil and hasn't been seen since The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Keep in mind that Oblivion was released back in 2006, so it's been a hot minute since anybody has gotten a fresh look at this location.
Today's release of Gold Road is accompanied by Update 42 for The Elder Scrolls Online. This free update for all players adds improvements to the in-game mail, a new Achievement celebrating the game's 10th anniversary, and more.
Naturally, Update 42 is huge and won't be copied in its entirety below. For that full changelog, you need only head on over to the Elder Scrolls Online forums. Highlights can be found below.
Scribing System
Scribing is an all-new system introduced with Gold Road that allows players to craft and customize their abilities using unique scripts to perfectly fit their playstyle and build. Whether players are looking for greater power, versatility, or roleplay opportunities, Scribing is a powerful new way to tailor their ESO experience.
