With the exception ofone specific game, puzzles in MMORPGs tend to be… not exactly puzzling. That does mean thatElder Scrolls Online has a low bar to clear whenthe puzzle rooms of its upcoming Nowhere Vault content arrive, though. Or it’s going to have to do a lot to convince players that it actually has puzzles that require your brain.
“The vault tests more than just combat, as it challenges the players’ wit, mobility, stealth, and awareness,” the devs of the MMORPG promise in the preview post. “Players will navigate mazes, cross dangerous mushroom-filled chasms, battle Voernet’s creations, and pursue optional objectives hidden throughout its rooms.”
The post also talks up the replayable nature of the Nowhere Vault, with its randomly generated features like treasures, rooms, battle encounters, and even the opportunity to find jackpot rooms. On the subject of rewards, the content promises goodies like furnishings, antiquity leads, skill styles, resource nodes, and other shinies. Of course, whether it will be a puzzling challenge or not will have to be ultimately decided by players when the content arrives with Season One’s release on Monday, September 28th.
