If you enjoy ESO then the free version is a trap as buying the ESO + expansions pack is much cheaper than buying all the expansions.
You don’t need the expansions to try out the game, nor a sub.
AFAIK, you can play the base game for free, no subscription needed. That said, there is a subscription that buys you a better user experience, and once you run out of content you’ll have to purchase the expansions.
There’s a lot of content to play as a free player. For me the most important thing the subscription offers is the unlimited crafting material bag. You don’t need it but if you want to be a crafter it will be painful without it. Three classes and bunch of content is behind expansion packs… all of which you can unlock by buying the current “collection” version which includes all the previous expansions also and goes for like 60 bucks…
Well, it worked, I’ve made an Epic Games account just to get a free copy of Elder Scrolls Online. Which I know I will never play seriously, and in the end will probably not even get round to installing just to see what it’s like…
Epic is great for free games. Check back around mid December they give away games every day with AAA games on Christmas and New Year. Stuff like GTA5 and CIV6.

How free is elder scrolls? Do you need a bunch of expansion packs and a subscription too?

Murder By Numbers was so fun, hope more people try it

Yup, I got Bioshock 1-3 and Death Stranding (for free) last year
Noice, thanks.
