Pick your race, sex, class, and customize your appearance before you start your journey with the robust character creation tool. Venture out into Tamriel’s beautiful scenery, where you’ll cross paths with wild animals, monsters, and other players. Along the way, you'll pick up various quests depending on the location and your level.
Enjoy real freedom as you go on adventures through idyllic coastal areas, swampy marshlands, snowy mountains, or ride your horse to the scenic grasslands.

There are many options to make your character more powerful even at a lower level by crafting stronger weapons and more durable gear. Diversify your combat options by concocting potent potions and poisons, receiving buffs and debuffing enemies. Learn devastating magic spells to decimate massive crowds from afar, or heal yourself.
