Urgent question, can male characters wear slooty armor? Asking for a friend (who just finished installing ESO and is about to create her first character).

I haven’t actually seen it for either gender but I only wear the racial armor styles so I have no idea

Slooty? No. But there’s no true sloot looks in armor, just a few midriff and occasional cleavage baring stuff. But ESO doesn’t discriminate like WoW/most games do.

You can stuff your burliest male character in the cutest two piece dress you can buy.

How much does vampirism affect gameplay in ESO?

It’s substantial if you like it, it’s mundane if you don’t.

There’s ten ā€œranksā€ of vampirism that are earned similar to just regular old leveling up and are indeed just tied to experience point gain. There’s three activatable abilities and a bunch of passive effects. You don’t take damage from sunlight but you do have reduced passive health regen and take more fire damage (both mitigatable through passives) the health regen and fire damage intake increase are so minor, people blow them out of proportion often.

There’s four stages of vampirism which change the way you look and how much of the aforementioned health regen and fire damage penalties you have, you change between stages by going a long time without feeding. You can feed by sneaking behind people and pressing a hotkey and then you do the goriest hemomancy slurp and raise them off the ground and stun them.

Passives include better regeneration of your offense stats, magicka and stamina, rising/falling with your current vampire ā€œstageā€, being able to run while stealthed, being harder to detect and - the reason a lot of tanks take it - Undeath where when you’re under 35% health you take a metric buttload less damage.

Actives include turning into an invulnerable mist, basically getting an in combat heal version of the feed ability, and summoning a swarm of evil magicka bats that drain health from everything around you.

You also get really, really pale and ugly. Ain’t no pretty vampires in ESO. You can mitigate that with cosmetics though.

I’ve worn a black hood with a black metal mask for so long I actually forget what my character looks like just that by virtue of being a Stage 4 elder vampire she’s got gross veins and blackened eyes.

There’s also werewolves if you wanna get your Taylor Lautner on.

They are chortle a whole different animal from Vampires though.

I keep Celenwyn at lvl 1 Vampirism cause she actually looks pretty darned normal (if not really pale) with some cosmetics.

There was a skin called Rimefrost in one of the more recent crate bundles and I managed to get it and depending on what your character normally looked like, if you apply it to being a vampire you go back to pretty damn normal if not slightly frosted in a few spots.

Which incidentally really helped with my whole ā€œRemake my Death Knight in ESOā€ crusade.

Finally I can main my dream OC of Lord Strahd as a demon worshiping dark elf. It is everything I could dream of.

I know its not the moat popular opinion amongst ES fans but Im happy that ESO has introduced the fact that Elves can look very normal or completely alien.

I’m interested in trying ESO. I’ve played Skyrim quite a bit over the years and loved it.

Is ESO plus worth it? How important is the DLC that comes with plus?

I’ve been in the game two hours and I’ve stolen everything that isn’t nailed down. A+ game would recommend.

It’s very fun!
That said, it can take some time getting used to.

I think its worth it. In addition to access to the DLC it will give you a monthly stipend of crown store currency.
