Big update to ESO today. They've started making the combat more fun (only took ten years). They're re-doing the animations for every class to make things feel chunkier, more satisfying. They've started with Dragon Knight, as well as the two-handed weapon tree. All of the skills are greatly improved, and it's much more fun simply twatting things now. The rest of the classes, plus a new mode that lets you make combat more difficult, are coming this year.
They've also just added a few older DLCs into the free game. Orsinium (which is great), as well as the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood.
It's well worth starting again with a fresh character (2H Dragon Knight, of course.) The game makes it very easy to ignore the 'main' quest and skip straight into the newly unlocked content.
Without sounding (too much) like a smug PC wanker, Peacock is here to save the day with this one. You can play the elusive targets like normal missions: whenever you want, and they include saving.
I avoid saving normally, because it seems to defeat the point of elusive targets. But I still do on longer levels.
Thanks guys! I ended up going entirely rogue and buying Bravely Default on Switch 2 instead. Largely because it was 16 quid, and I was confused why a physical Switch 2 release was 16 quid.
It's great fun so far.

Did this start life as a Final Fantasy game? The spells are the same, the classes are the same, and it even has Cait Sith.

The backgrounds have more than a whiff of AI about them. It feels like they took the 3DS game and just AI upscaled them. Maybe that's why it was 16 quid…
The dbrand Switch 2 joycon grips are fantastic.
I didn't buy the full case, just the grips. 19 quid including shipping from the US. They feel premium, don't add too much weight, and make handheld play actually comfortable. Plus they work with the dock. Recommended!
I tried playing Village the other day, as it's on PS Plus now. But it's so unremittingly horrible, I couldn't get on with it. Kidnapped babies, murdered wife, mutilation, wandering around in the dark with a torch that only works on the floor for some reason, narrow FOV that gave me motion sickness.
I thought this was supposed to be super camp and full of sexy vampire ladies.
