new to eso should i buy all the dlcs from the start?

[Axli]

hello .. well the title says it all ?
should i get the dlcs or after i reach the max level ?

[Trigger]

NO, just play base game first-tons of content in base game.

[Trigger]

Actually you should buy the Elsweyr Edition, it will give you all 3 chapters-Morrowind, Summerset and Elsweyr plus base game

[Trigger]

an ESO+ subscription will give you acess to all dlc's

[Trigger]

Morrowind, Summerset and Elsweyr are Chapters/expanions and not dlc's

[Trigger]

Dlc's are sold in-game from Crown store

No, first you should explore and do some quest, maybe finish Morrowind chapter first. If u want to buy crowns - wait for discount. And if u want DLC's - get ESO+ which will allow u to play everything.

That is not entirely correct.

Since the launch of Summerset chapter, Morrowind chapter consists of two parts - Morrowind DLC (access to Vvardenfell zone) and Warden class. Both are available separately in the Crown Store, though only Morrowind DLC is part of ESO+.

Summerset chapter includes the Summerset zone and the Psijic Order and the Jewellery crafting skill lines. Nevrtheless, with the launch of Elsweyr, Summerset in its entirety has also been reclassified as a DLC, and became part of ESO+.

Currently, Elsweyr chapter, consisitng of the Northern Elsweyr zone and the Necromancer class, is the only chapter not reclassified as a DLC, and is not part of ESO+. This is expected to happen next June or so, with the expected launch of a new chapter.

The base game is really fun by itself and extremely huge. However, having all dlcs and expansion simply makes this mmo the best.

Definitely get ESO + so you can play the Dark Brotherhood DLC early in the game. It gives you the Blade of Woe so you can backstab most human NPC's plus you will get the Shadow Rider passive ability which reduces detection radius of hostile enemies by 50% when mounted. That means you can ride your mount through hostile territory without getting constantly attacked and pulled down. It makes the early game when you are relatively weak less stressful.

Greetings new citizen,

First of all welcome to my kingdom, my empire and my rule in all it's Sovereignity.

I would say do get ESO+ Subscription for the additional bankspace and craftbag & access to DLC areas, it also gives XP Boost and such. In ESO it doesn't really matter if you do the expansions or DLC's after or before you reach max level. After reaching LVL 50 it will start again on CP 10 and continue forth to uh infinity? Since you're new to the game, i would say get accustomed to the game first, see if you like it all and if everything works fine for your gameplay. Then consider buying the expansions. Even without expansions there is a lot to do, that's in terms of quantity and variety, so you won't get bored any soon despite having no expansions.

Hope this info was useful to you.

With kind regards,
