I'm with you on this one, totally don't understand their behavior.

whats the reward?

Thanks!

Did you get a key?

Edit: I'm not sure when you said "Got it", if you mean that you got a key or just that you understand that keys are still available. I am not interested in the game, but I grabbed a key if you want it. I don't know if they are just restricting who can get keys or if the keys will only activate in certain regions. I added you on Steam if you want to try the key.

Because it is a separate package. Zenimax just decided to make the DLC free to base game owners much like how they made Imperial City DLC free to all players. If you buy the base game today on any platform (ESO website, EGS or Steam) the moment you enter the game, Morrowind gets added automatically to your account because of that. Only exception is if you bought the game key and activated it before the change like us.

As far as I can tell, yes, though apparently for some people it didn't activate on their game automatically (they could still claim it from the in-game store for free however). Given that that's even possible to happen, it seems likely that the free inclusion for existing owners was done entirely in-game, which would in turn make it so that Morrowind wouldn't show up as owned on Steam (thereby allowing you to activate it again), despite actually being activated to your TES:O account.

Tamriel Edition is, as far as I'm aware, just the labeling they put on when they switched from subscription-only to single-purchase activation, meaning it's simply the vanilla base game (now with Morrowind included). So the two (Tamriel Edition and Morrowind Edition) should be fully interchangable and, thus, the key theoretically gave you nothing at all. :S

Do artifacts speed up the progress?
How can I get them? Is there any guide or wiki for them?

Does watching twitch videos even get you points anymore? I've watched for hours and 0 points so far.

It would be more of a price advantage to buy the necrom dlc separately when you already own everything else. This is meant for those who keep up with the content and play regularly enough they already have the other dlcs. It's basically a discount for those people.

However since it's the latest expansion it is of course also the most valued one, so it's priced at $30. The other dlc's are now getting a little old for some players, so they wont keep them at $30, which is what they likely were in the past, I remember when the morrowind dlc got released many years ago and I didn't like that model back then, but it makes sense for an online game to survive. To get the whole pack you pay $50, so for another $20 you get the base game and all previous dlc's. This is mostly because the previous content probably has story content, fun things you can experience, interesting quests and character development, minigames, etc. but in the end, whether you go for pvp or a pve experience, the end game is always going to be in that $30 newest expansion.

You could just buy, or get a cheap or even free key to test out the base game. I think the point of the base game is that some people would not rather drop $50 for a game they might or might not play, so if they can get the base game for $20, or $5 on sale or free on alienware, it gives them time to try out and decide whether they like it or not. 2 hours isn't enough time to say whether you like a mmo or not to refund it and if you play longer you kinda consume the content so it wouldn't be fair to be able to return it after.

So for some people it's better to lose $20 than $50 testing the game, and some other people play this as their main game, and so they already have the latest dlc so when the new one comes out, they get a discount on it instead of paying $17 for necrom and the rest of the collection, they pay $10 for it.

Looking at the FFXIV trial, I remember people who had played the level 60 trial trying to do everything and experience everything for 2 years before they finally decided to upgrade, and when they upgraded they had to buy the base game and the dlc's including the most recent ones. However they could opt to just go one step above in terms of dlc past the free trial and they get another 1 year or so of content playing pretty often.

As for dishonored and these deluxe editions sometimes making it cheaper than individual dlc's when you already own the base game, my guess is it's just marketing. They will give the base game for a lower price or sometimes even free, dishonored's base game is known to go for pretty much dirt cheap(which is insane for how good of a game it is), but then to complete the collection they added some dlc's. To buy them individually costs you more, so they play into your mental addiction of getting the whole thing, and sell you the whole pack as a deal. ESO does this too even for necrom, where you can buy just the necrom dlc, which includes probably tens to hundrends of hours of content for $10 and for another $4 you get some deluxe items(granted it gives you all of them from all previous expansions which is nice) but still I'd say it doesn't warrant another $4 in terms of content vs how much you get with the $10. It's just meant for collectors.

For dishonored, there's only 2 relevant story dlc's, the rest are just sountrack, items and some sort of trials that no one ever liked. I'd have to check but my guess is at 90% off it would be cheaper to get the two story dlc's vs the deluxe, but it would be more expensive to get the 5 individually as you say vs the deluxe, since you're buying in bulk.
