Wow, the previous post was more than 1 month ago, and it doesn't feel like that at all. Time flies! This month has been very lively. The expansion was released, and I got a chance to play it right at the release. That's the first time I did something like that, usually preferring to wait until ~December to grab the latest expansion at a discount. Not this year, though. Playing Gold Road with so many players at the same time was fun! Although I haven't started the main quest of the area yet, I completed the whole questline of Scribing, a totally new mechanic added to the game.
Let me just tell you the quests there were fun, engaging, full of TES lore, and gave all sorts of emotions, from humor to having tears in my eyes. The quest introduced a new NPC who quickly became one of my favorites, the one and only Nahlia (yes, the name is very similar to Nalia from BG2:SoA).
Playing through those quests was like playing a new game in my favorite franchise, not missing the fun of seeing other players completing their own objectives.
At first, I wasn't a fan of how Scribing actually works, with a lot of grind involved, and this grind is multiplied if you have a few characters and want to use Scribing with each of them. However, one month later, I'm actually ok with that. Yes, it involves grinding, but the game should be played at your own pace, and eventually you will get there. Especially since Scribing (as of now) mostly helps with PvP builds, not PvE content.
Right now, there is the Zeal of Zenithar event going on in the game. It's not as big as the Anniversary celebration, but it is rewarding for players who generated a lot of master writs (and/or bought them from guild traders over time) and want to complete them for some extra rewards.
There was also a PvP Battlegrounds event earlier in June, and I've had a lot of fun with that as well. Now I'm planning my next outfit for my Redguard character, focused around the Dragonslayer theme--the Battlegrounds style rewards can make it possible. Once I gather all the needed style components, I'll show you the results.
And here is my room, a library, a working cabinet, and a place where my Necromancer can do his necromancy stuff! Extra credit to @shmity72 who gave a piece of advice you can disable the UI for screenshots.
