Elder Scrolls Online is free on Epic right now

Been playing this for the last few years. Helped me get through lockdown!

It's been around for long enough that there is absolutely loads of content. I love that there are several different ways to play, too. I love housing and decorating, but there's casual questing, end game content, PVP, crafting... It's fun!

I don't know if we're permitted to post links that that here, so I won't. But if you go to the Epic Games store, it's free through 27 July.

Happy questing!

Question is if it works Linux :)

I can’t speak for the EGS version, but the game itself works fairly well.

I own original non steam version :)

Yeah it works. Well at least the last time I tried which was a few years ago but I imagine it still works fine.

But how do you handle add ons?

You will have to search for how to do it. I never played with addons. I’m a pretty casual mmo player.

You can also use Minion too, just instead of downloading the executable, just get the jar file and run it through the terminal.

It's been a while, but iirc it didn't really work. Couldn't find the game or something.

Minion is the standard now. Makes life ever so much easier on Windows. I really hope it works for Linux folks, too!

I run it through Steam as a "non-Steam" game via Proton and have also run it with Lutris. It runs on both 100% fine, if not even better than Windows. In fact, this game running great has convinced me to finally drop my dual boot!

that works as well, but there is a linux client called heroic that works for both epic and gog which helps makes things simpler for setting up the games to work, so i think that would be easier than using proton or lutris
