About

King Kurog has begun to rebuild the great city of Orsinium, the long-abandoned capital city of the Orcs. The Orc leader has pledged to unite the Orc clans under a single banner, but already there are whispered plots from those who would seize power for themselves. The Orsinium DLC game pack is available to players of all levels and contains the most new story content that ESOTU has ever released.

Overall, The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited Orsinium DLC is a little bit on the pricey side for a DLC expansion, but it does give you a lot of new content – and I think it is worth the purchase for anyone who has been playing the base game consistently and is looking for something new. The region in and around Orsinium is vast and epic and full of interesting things to do and see.

There is, however, little innovation here compared to what has already come before. Those who haven't been able to enjoy the original, will find nothing new to change their minds with this DLC, but it may just be enough to win back players who had given up on Tamriel, though by just adding more of the same, they may not stick around for very long.

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.

Am meisten begeistert hat mich die Hauptgeschichte rund um die namensgebende Ork-Stadt Orsinium. Die gehört dank der abwechslungsreichen Quests, den erinnerungswürdigen Figuren und einigen unterhaltsamen Wendungen zum Besten, was es in The Elder Scrolls Online bis dato zu spielen gibt. Wer also Spaß mit dem Hauptspiel hatte, sollte dem DLC unbedingt eine Chance geben.

Abbandonato l'esperimento riuscito solo a metà dell'Imperial City, Orsinium si rivela un DLC di buona fattura e dai contenuti PvE abbondanti, che non stravolge la struttura del gioco base introducendo una nuova regione con tante quest, dungeon e una storyline inedita.

The Elder Scrolls Online Orsinium biedt een grote hoeveelheid content voor je geld. De Maelstrom Arena is hierin het hoogtepunt, waarin je in je eentje op een nieuw niveau moet nadenken over je build en gear om interessante bazen te verslaan. De grote publieke dungeons zijn mooi van binnen en indrukwekkend om te verkennen.
