High Isle is the sixth chapter, i. e. a major expansion to the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online. The plot focuses on political intrigues and allows you to get to know the Breton race better. The add-on introduces the Tales of Tribute playable card game in the world of ESO.
High Isle is another big expansion (chapter) for The Elder Scrolls Online MMORPG, developed and published by ZeniMax Online. In this add-on we have the opportunity to learn more about the history of Bretons and their knightly culture - this subject has never been touched upon before in TES.
Plot
We continue to explore the events of the main storyline started in Ascending Tide - "Legacy of the Bretons" - which is continued by two other, smaller DLCs.
We get to know the beautiful homeland of this race, heirs of both humans and elves, amidst the tense atmosphere of political intrigue of a country on the verge of internal conflict. The High Isle is a frequent meeting place for delegates holding peace talks aimed at ending the Three Banners War. Our main task is to uncover conspiracies of rebellious group of knights led by Ascendant Lord, mysterious figure who wants to possess ancient heritage.
Game mechanics
In the chapter we gain access to a new area, a location covering two islands of The Systres - High Isle and Amenos, which combines tropical climate with medieval buildings. We will meet two new companions on our way - Khajiit woman Ember and Breton woman Isobel, with unique skills, personalities and tasks.
Along with the new area, we gain access to a number of attractions - the Dreadsail Reef trial (a twelve-player co-op raid), dungeons, quests, rewards and item sets related to the High Isle, antiquities and world bosses and events.
The expansion introduces a collectible card game playable in the world of ESO - Tales of Tribute. We can play with other players and even NPCs in taverns throughout Tamriel, which in the case of some characters unlocks additional story threads. We receive rewards for playing the games, such as furniture or transmutation stones, and we advance in the internal minigame system.
Technical aspects
The expansion requires the basic version of the game to work.

MMORPGs continue to come and go, but only a handful remain really vital and appealing to a broad range of new and faithful players. While not every expansion of Elder Scrolls Online has been equally amazing, each one has deepened and broadened the core experience. With High Isle, ZeniMax and Bethesda tone down the melodrama. In its place are political upheavals, scheming anarchists and an addictive new card game. The Elder Scrolls Online continues to be a dream MMO for both solo players and groups.
Screen Rant: 4 / 5 by Maria Meluso
The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle may not be a total home run, but it is another solid installment to the MMORPG despite its weak story. High Isle itself is a gorgeously realized location that feels more alive than other settings have thanks to the incredible attention to detail by the art team, and the gameplay is a lot of fun where it matters most. The inclusion of Tales of Tribute works wonderfully, and the game itself was clearly well-designed and executed. However, it could have been even stronger as a base game feature that all players could enjoy.
MMORPG.com: 7.5 / 10 by Joseph Bradford
The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle brings with it many great moments, and the landscape of the Systres is a joy to explore, especially the jungle prison of Amenos. While its story is predictable, I’m not uninterested as I look forward to the rest of the year’s content drops. In the end, it's this formulaic malaise that keeps The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle from being truly great.
