So I know a few people here play ESO as their side MMO. I picked it up during a Steam sale since I've been meaning to try it out, but have been wondering if maybe I might enjoy it more on console instead. Kinda had a couple wonders about it:

I know it's fairly solo friendly, but in the instances where you might want to party with other people, how 'required' is it to actually be able to communicate with them? Not really keen to buy a USB keyboard for my ps4, given I primarily use it for single player games - but I also don't want to be in a situation where I need to communicate/respond and either be unable to, or have to use the slow and janky ps4 keypad.

Also, I presume to play on the console version, you need the usual PSPlus stuff like FFXIV does?

How does it feel gameplay-wise on a console vs PC? I know each system has separate servers, so I assume account linking doesn't exist.
