In addition to all the usual cosmetic additions that one might expect from an Elder Scrolls Online expansion, such as new player housing, mounts, pets and so forth, one of Greymoor’s most endearing aspects is the resolutely Gothic approach it has taken in its re-imagining of Skyrim. Simply put, if you’re looking to lose yourself for another hundred hours or more than The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor is more than up to the task. Likewise, Greymoor doesn’t skimp on the ancillary content either, as it brings half a dozen new world bosses to the fore, ten new world events, new settlements, public dungeons and much, much more besides.

Elsewhere a new 12-player trial in the form of Kyne’s Aegis makes its debut, once again catering to groups of players who have the necessary skill and co-ordination to overcome its multiple difficulty settings in the pursuit of endgame level gear and equipment. The new ‘Harrowstorms’ realm event, in which players have to shutdown occult rituals which attempt to bring in all manner of demonic foes into the world, functions extremely similar to the ‘Dark Anchor’ realm events that The Elder Scrolls Online had at launch back in 2015. Despite not being the best looking effort around, Greymoor can still surprise with some gorgeous environments – particularly where Blackreach, a sprawling subterranean city, is concerned.Īs to the new content that Greymoor introduces to The Elder Scrolls Online, much of it falls into the realm of the expected. Equally, beyond what you can see, Greymoor also sounds the part too, with a thunderously epic soundtrack that never fails to fire up for whatever lay around the next corner. While The Elder Scrolls Online has never been the prettiest or most polished looking game out there, there are places in Greymoor, like the ethereal looking, subterranean city of Blackreach that brings a haunting visual style to The Elder Scrolls Online that just hasn’t been seen before. Then there’s the presentation of the whole thing.
For a start new players are ably catered for with a new tutorial that does a far better job of signposting everything you need to know, all the while making the various menus easily accessible in the process. Once we begin to emotionally separate ourselves from the Skyrim setting (an easier task if you’re one of the few who never indulged in the original 2011 release or in any other remasters or re-releases since), Greymoor begins to unfurl itself in earnest and the results, for the most part, are laudable. Though you could make the argument that the more recent Summerset and Elswyr expansions both look more attractive than Greymoor at turns, Skyrim as a setting still boasts a unique kind of beauty that makes it an opulent setting all the same. Greymoor then, seemingly trades pretty heavily on the fact that despite being set some 1,000 years earlier, it pulls settings, some characters and lore from 2011’s greatest RPG with aplomb and in a manner not too dissimilar to what has already been done with the previously released Morrowind expansion.

Though Greymoor revisits a familiar setting, the deep Gothic themes that run through this expansion make Skyrim feel very different when compared to its offline outing.
Indeed, in what seems something of a cynical ploy to play on those nostalgic beats, Greymoor opens in a similar way to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, as you sit in the back of a horse drawn cart, gently being pulled down a hill, idly chattering to other characters before, well, a whole heap of bad stuff happens. There’s little denying the fact that returning to the frosty, snow-blotted peaks and valleys of Skyrim pushes all of the nostalgic buttons.
