Welcome to TamrielCast, a bi-weekly podcast published every other Friday talking all about the Elder Scrolls Online (ESO). TamrielCast is dedicated to providing news on the latest happenings in ESO, strategies, builds, and guides through the massive world of Tamriel in ESO. The first episode clocks in at just under an hour.

In this very first podcast of TamrielCast, I discuss the following subjects:

• An introduction, who I am, and what I intend to accomplish with this podcast.
• A brief overview of of ESO for those who are not familiar with the game.
• Layout of the various purchasing and subscription options, what they mean, and what they offer.
• Some information on what you can expect when first logging in to the game for the first time.
• Information about the different factions and their associated races.
• Details about character generation and some recommended race/class combinations.
• Skyshards, how they work, and how to find them quickly.
• Some useful sites for Add-Ons and how to use Add-Ons to get the most out of your ESO experience.
• An explanation of how PvP works, the benefits of participating in Cyrodiil, as well as a few PvP strategies.

A few corrections:

• Where I said the ESO launch pales in comparison to EQ2 and WoW launches, I meant to say the EQ2 and WoW launches pale in comparison to the quality of the ESO launch in terms of bugs and early response to those bugs.
• While discussing Argonians, I said Restoration was unique to the Templar class. I was mistaken. I was thinking of the Restoring Light skill tree. Argonian Restoration skill bonuses apply to Restoration Staves, so Argonians need not be a Templar to gain this benefit.

Please post your comments, corrections, suggestions, and requests for Episode 002 below. This is my first podcast, so please be gentle and try to be constructive. Thank you for listening!
