Zenimax Online will make changes to the new player experience based on feedback gathered over the recent The Elder Scrolls Online beta weekends.
In a blog entry on the game's official website, game director Matt Firor said many players felt "too constrained" by the tightly controlled experience between levels one and 10.
"Because ESO is about choice, we made adjustments to those opening hours of the game in response to the beta feedback. After exiting the modified, more streamlined tutorial in Coldharbour, new characters now wake up in the first major city of their respective Alliance as opposed to being forced to go through the starter islands."
