Me and my partner are starting ESO and taking it nice and slow, not really worrying too much about builds and optimizing XP gain and just running around doing quests and its great.

I did notice a massive list of “prologues” in the store though, and while I want us to do them I do want to avoid doing story out of order!

Are there certain zones I need to stay out of before X quest, or does the game warn me itself? Does DLC gatekeep most of it?

Also, any advice on fun and interesting things to not miss out on while we explore? :) thanks for your comments if you leave one!

How noob friendly is this in 2026? I am thinking of starting an MMO with my partner but looking for what would be cozy and adventurous together. How does LOTRO deliver for you guys, plus those of you who game with a plus one? :)
