As the name suggests it, Summerset expansion pack is a DLC to the massive multiplayer online RPG known as The Elder Scrolls Online - ESO. The Summerset is the second chapter in the ESO after Morrowind, bringing players back to the titular region of Summerset Isles almost 25 years after their last appearance in TES: Arena. This expansion pack introduces a new storyline, various side quests and new challenges as well as a mysterious faction known as the Psijic Order. Associated with the group of the most powerful mages in whole Tamriel, the order allows you to unlock an entirely new skill tree if you join its ranks.

One of the most requested elements that were finally introduced in the Summerset is the jewelry crafting system which allows the player to create or alter different types of jewelry items such as rings and necklaces. The players can now attach various existing and few new attributes to their jewelry in a similar way as it was the case with weapons and armors.

Main quest storyline

As in the case of other The Elder Scrolls games, the best and most important part of Summerset is its plot. Queen Ayrenn of the Summerset Isles, after many years finally decided to open the borders of her kingdom to foreigners. Many adventures travel to explore this beautiful, idyllic and magical place to discover all its secrets.

Soon enough you are going to realize, that there is a darkness glooming over the ancient Elven homeland of Summerset Isles as well as the entire Tamriel as the Daedric cults once again want to unleash the demonic forces upon the continent. Join the ancient, mysterious Psijic Order that returns after their long exile and learns what dangers threaten the entire world. Finally, stop the followers of the Daedra and prevent a group of High Elf supremacists from forcing Queen Ayrenn into abdication.

Reception

Game reviews clearly showed that Summerset was well received by both fans of TES franchise as well as gaming experts. Most players praised the jewelry crafting skill and interesting side quests and some were positively surprised by the return to the classic high fantasy setting with Summerset Isles, that is a huge contrast to the peculiar world of Morrowind.
