elder scrolls online has had a few pretty good patches in a row, they added 4 overland enemy difficulty levels, I stopped doing quests a while ago because self-nerfing (like not wearing armor sets) to fight super easy enemies was not that fun, difficulty level 3 of 4 on the new scale seems just right for me, regular enemies are tougher but not HP sponges, quest bosses hit pretty hard so you have to be careful, and I still have room to experiment and not chase meta big dmg play styles like you need to for dungeons, never played melee only in this game so I tried a one-bar 2-handed magicka nightblade (a magic ninja with a katana that goes invisible a lot) setup and having fun with that, have about 30-40% of the overland quests left

also went back to shadow of the tomb raider for a bit, we'll see if I stick with it this time, this one is supposed to have the most exploring and puzzles of the 3 so I like that
