To the regular person? No.
I like this game, but to be honest with you, you kind of need an ESO PLUS membership, it's a big deal, otherwise your inventory management/capacity will really suffer.

Now,why do I like this game? Well, I'm a sucker for LORE, so if you're like me and been around since the days of Morrowind/Oblivion and love the worldbuilding more than the games themselves (I for one believe selling Skyrim for every platform for the past 12 years instead of updating their shameful Gamebryo engine is revolting), so this game might make you happy. For a while. Also, only if you have someone to play with.

Also, there's a bunch of expansions and Paid DLCs and stuff in general so it's Bethesda's business practices which might also deter people from getting this. I'm not THAT idealistic, and have no issue to pay for a few dozen hours of fun and curiosity, since the worldbuilding is still great and builds on what we already have and the lore of The Elder Scrolls is as solid as foundation as something like the lore of DND's Sword Coast for example (RPG Nerd Talk)

So yeah, if you're that much of a Nerd, not that protective with your wallet, and can afford paying a monthly fee to make your experience valuable, go for it. I was never a big fan of MMORPGs but this one is as good as they can be, it's in a way like playing Skyrim forever.

Bethesda is still shameful. Dump your 25 year old engine and use Unreal Engine or something like a proper adult ffs...

Greetings,

Thank you for your ESO review. We can understand not liking the ESO Plus membership since it paywalls some features.

An ESO Plus Membership is not required to play The Elder Scrolls Online.

Players can still enjoy ESO without ESO Plus, but we do feel that DLC Game Pack and Chapter content offer great value and additional experiences for our players. While an ESO Plus membership allows you to access DLC Game packs, DLC can also be purchased seperately and an ESO Plus membership is not necessary to access DLC. For more information on DLC and Chapter content, please see https://beth.games/2qpfaGs

As for your inventory space, you can visit pack merchants to purchase space upgrades. Upgrading your bags increases the size by 10, from 60 slots to 140 slots. Pack merchants are in almost every major city in Tamriel.

We encourage you to share your thoughts about the DLC and ESO Plus with the development team at https://beth.games/3EW0Eb7. We are interested in hearing more about your experience playing ESO.

Thank you again for your review and we hope you'll give ESO another chance.

Warm Regards,
The Elder Scrolls Online Team
