One standout aspect of Necrom is the exceptional voice acting. The performances of characters like Leramil and Scruut add depth and engagement to the storyline, making it a delight to indulge in. Combined with a cast of lively side characters, the dialogue and interactions throughout the chapter are absorbing from start to finish.

In addition to the main storyline, Necrom embarks on a variety of side quests with a mixed bag of objectives. The expansion also introduces two large public dungeons, providing opportunities for solo exploration and encounters. From roaming world bosses to new items, gear, and furniture, there’s plenty to discover and collect.

The new companions, Azandar Al-Cybiades and Sharp-as-Night, provide meaningful gameplay opportunities to forge bonds. Choose the companion that aligns with your preferred playstyle and enjoy their charming personalities, abilities, and personal quests. Through levelling, gearing, and completing rapport quests, you can strengthen companions and witness their growth alongside your character’s progression. Whether you want a powerful spellcaster or a supportive healer by your side, Azandar Al-Cybiades and Sharp-as-Night are sure to enhance the journey.

Despite its strengths, Necrom does have minor drawbacks. The Telvanni Peninsula is reminiscent of Vvardenfell, leading to a sense of sameness. While visually impressive, it may not be as fresh as fans hope for. There is also a notable lack of end-game and ongoing content to endure after the completion of the main story, compared to other expansions. The High Isle had a great addition in the Tales of Tribute card game and there doesn’t seem to be anything nearly as appealing in the content of Necrom. Again, no real additions for PvP content outside the new class shaking up the battlefield. Additionally, there have been occasional reports of quest bugs and technical issues that can detract from the overall experience. However, these issues are not widespread and are expected to be addressed in future updates and patches.

Sanity’s Edge is on par with Kyne’s Aegis in terms of difficulty. While the first boss, Exarchanic Yaselya, is challenging, the subsequent two bosses are more forgiving. Archwizard Twelvane and Ansuul the Tormentor both are multi-phase battles but aren’t as big of threats as bosses from other Trials, if your party is well-coordinated.

In contrast, the Add Pulls in Sanity’s Edge can be harder than the bosses. To enter the trial, the group will approach Warlock Vanton lying on a bed. You will enter his mind and find yourself in a nightmarish version of Alinor, a city in Summerset. Making your way toward the palace, you’ll face a series of enemies. At the end of the day, Sanity’s Edge is a mix of challenging encounters and moments that allow you to recover.

For adventurers who know previous trials like Rockgrove and Dreadsail Reef like the back of their hand, Sanity’s Edge may disappoint in toughness. Although, others who are jumping back into the world of The Elder Scrolls Online, without the gear and item sets from previous chapters, may appreciate the accessibility of the content.
