game start area

I was watching a video of someone starting ESO and the opening took place in a boat as in the beginning of I think it was Oblivion. When I start ESO I am in a different place. Is their a way to start in the ship as described?

If you only own the base game, your new characters will start in Coldharbor tutorial and continue in your Alliance starter zone.

If you own Morrowind, they will start in the Morrowind tutorial, and continue in the Vvardenfell zone.

If you own Summerset, they will start in the Summerset tutorial and continue in the Summerset zone.

You can expect the same principle for Elsweyr.

After the tutorial you are free to port to your Alliance's starter zone (or wherever you fancy), and start questing there. You can also start the old Coldharbor tutorial there, opening the Main Quest line.

sorry another question when you said if I have Morrwind it would start me there, I have morrowind but it is not a steam game it is retail. Do I need it and oblivion installed? (oblivion is linked to Steam)

I think you misunderstood me.

TES III: Morrowind and TES IV: Oblivion have nothing to do with ESO. They are older (much older), absolutely separate singleplayer games, which take place in different time of the history of the Elder Scrolls universe too.

Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is an MMORPG.

There are expansions for ESO, called chapters: Morrowind, Summerset, and the upcoming Elsweyr. The latest one you own determines where your characters start.

so there,s no way to start the morrowind chapter if I have sommerset?

There is - you can do all starting quests for each expansion. For example - I started in Morrowind and now I moved to the base game and doing the Cold Harbor questline.

The only difference is the starting location which is fixed and based on which expansions you own but you will still be able to experience the vanilla, morrowind, Summerset and Elsweyr starting questlines if you wish.

according to my account I have EsO Tamriel unlimited and the base game so what do I need to start the morrowind area . I saw that morrowind is included in the base game and finished the tutorial and it didn't give me an option to choose tom start in morrowind so how do I get there? I am sorry for bothering you with this and I feel kinda stupid but oh well don't ask don't learn.

You can start the quest for each chapter or DLC by going to the quest giver in that zone. Morrowind is included in ESO+ (I think you must have bought one of the bundles or something, unless you are saying the province and not specifically Vvardenfell (the island is DLC, the other parts of Morrowind are base game)), since it went from a chapter to dlc. Also you don't get to choose where you start. The game starts you off with the most recent chapter you own. Afterwards you will need to port or get there by other means.

OK, again thanks for the info.

No, you are wrong. You definitely cannot do the starting quest for more than one chapter on each character.

There is no way to do the Morrowind tutorial if you own Summerset. If you own Morrowind and later buy Summerset, there is no way your character that started in Morrowind tutorial could do the Summerset tutorial.

The Morrowind chapter is not a part of the base game (called "Tamriel Unlimited"). The base game is exactly what the name says - the base game, no chapters or DLC are included.

The currently offered ESO Standard Edition contains the base game and the Morrowind chapter (Morrowind DLC and Warden class). Older editions were not upgraded for free, therefore, if you only own ESO Tamriel Unlimited (the base game), you do not have the Morrowind chapter.

Furthermore, you are not given any choice of the starting location, your newly created characters automatically start in the tutorial of the newest chapter you own. In case of Morrowind, having the Morrowind DLC (i.e. the Vvardenfell zone) is enough, you don't need the full chapter to start in the Morrowind tutorial.
