Help please. I own ESO... Want to buy the collection

[Toxic Chris]

Hello

I want to buy the rest of the DLC for ESO and get into the game. I own ESO as it is on steam (standard edition). If i buy the complete collection then will it add summerset and Morrowind to my account? Stupid question it may seem but has anyone actually done it this way?

Usually when you buy a game bundle and your on the purchase screen it would say "YOU ALREADY OWN ESO. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A GIFT OR EXTRA COPY" it doesn't say that.

i have heard of others completely removing ESO from their steam account and then rebuying the collection for some reason so i am confused. The last thing i want to do is buy ESO complete and it not give me any of the dlc for whatever reason?

if that makes sense.

There is no edition that would contain all DLC.

There is also no need to remove ESO from your Steam Library, since you can buy any one edition containing the base game on the official ESO website.

I would advise buying one of the Elsweyr packages, not upgrades mind you, as they contain Morrowind and Summerset, regular or CE.

I specifically want Summerset and Morrowind, Morrowind is only available on steam sale in the ESO collection.

I'm just worried that if i u buy that edition it wont grant Summerset and Morrowind for some reason. As i have heard that i need to remove the game from steam to re-buy it in order to get that edition

Your game data is not stored on Steam. The ESO website store is independent on Steam. If you by a package containing Morrowind there, you will get it.

OK so i am probably just better buying it from the ESO store

Not really, Morrowind alone on ESO store, cost more than the package on steam which includes Ornisium, Summerset, Morrowind and both thieves and dark brotherhood and imperial city, just buy on steam, if it doesn't appear on the ESO account then contact ESO support and provide a snip shot of the steam reciept, they'll then do the rest

I am afraid you are wrong. You are apparently mistaking the ingame Crown Store for the official ESO website store. Completely different and separate things.

The prices in the official ESO website store are basically the same as on Steam. The standard edition (base game + Morrowind chapter) is now on sale there and it costs EUR 9.99.

Moreover, if you own any ESO package containing the base game on Steam, you cannot buy any other package containing the base game here. Buying on the official ESO website is the the best option in such a case, as you are allowed to buy a package containing the base game there even if you own such a package on Steam.

I'm afraid you are wrong as YOU can buy another package on steam, the only version you cannot buy on steam is the standard if you already own it, as for the collection you can still purchase it, and last time i checked morrowind wasn't available to buy anywhere other than the crown store

^^ I'm talking about Morrowind DLC btw, not the package, and anyway being as you can buy the Collection on steam regardless of owning the base game, you're better off getting it on Steam as it's £6 cheaper

I owned the base game of ESO and just bought Summerset. It came with Morrowind. Bought Elsweyr seperately on Steam

[Scrooge]

I already owned ESO, just bought the collection which contained morrowind and summerset. it added both to my account no problem.

[watchdog79]

I just checked it myself and I have to stand corrected, as despite numerous complaints by players who couldn't purchase any ESO package containing the base game if they already owned one, it seems it is possible now, it just warns me that I would buy something I already own, without receiving any extra copy. Mea culpa, then.

Nevertheless, I would strongly advise against the Steam version though, as it suffers from various issues, such as the prevalent login problems (best timing was during an event last year), or the newest issue of forcing a huge download (2x 75 GB, wasn't it?) after the last game patch, basically downloading the whole game again. My Steam version wanted to do just that too, fortunately, I also own a non-Steam version.

The Steam store shows EUR 29.99 for the ESO Collection.

The official ESO website shows the same price of EUR 29.99 for the ESO Collection:
https://account.elderscrollsonline.com/store/product/eso_collection

I see no price difference amounting GBP 6. Buying the game on the official ESO website and using that version prevents the problems I mentioned above.

By the way, Morrowind DLC (does not include the Warden class) is not the same as Morrowind chapter (Morrowind DLC + Warden class). I would not recommend buying the Morrowind DLC (3,500 Crowns) and the Warden class (1,500 Crowns) in the Crown Store, as the cost would be significantly higher than buying it as a part of any package, such as the ESO Collection, be it on Steam or on the official ESO website.

Yeah unfortunately my browser was showing prices in euro and that GBP 6 came from me converting the price from Euro to GBP which would be a little over £26 when the steam price is £20.99, my browser is now showing me the correct currency and it is the same £20.99 on both ESO and Steam

Ah, that explains it. One could also see USD in some cases, which may result in another price being displayed.

All these conversions can cause quite a confusion.

I purchased the game through Steam and am looking to purchase Morrowind specifically. I clicked to purchase the Standard Edition + Morrowind bundle and am still getting the message "Your account already owns some of the above items, so you can't purchase them again"

The "Purchase for Myself" option is greyed out. I see your prices are listed in Euros, I'm trying to purchase in the USA if that makes a difference?

Edit to add that I attempted to purchase the base game + Morrowind bundle in the ESO Store and the purchase button is also greyed out with the text "YOU DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THIS PRODUCT"
