The Elder Scolls Online

My personal thoughts.

Admittedly since I am probably the biggest TES fanboy nerd on the site I will probably play it regardless, lol.

what a loser ^

How dare you be a traitor to the series and sell-out to the money grubbers! 😠 😠 😠 😠

Hope the future isn't all mmos for this series. Sounds generic

This would be so awesome if it wasn't just for PC, although it would be pretty hard to do on a console, but still it sucks

So I'm reading about people complaining that the factions don't make sense. How in the Lore, Dunmer, Nords and Argonians ****ing hate each other and would never work together and how the Redgaurds and Breton's oppress the hell out of Orcs and they shouldn't be working together either.

It looks like the 'evil' faction is the only one with its shit on straight. Khajiit ftw!

Which is all being addressed, lol

I hope so. It wouldn't be the first time an MMO screwed with a settings canon.

umad?

Yes! Lightsabers weren't used by the Sith until after the Great Hyperspace War and yet Swtor acts as if protosabers didn't even exist!

How can the developers be so STUPID!!!

Ton of details yo. Check dat video for lots of info.

Also the german MMO site buffed.de just released their "first look" of the game.

Not a lot of new information but I'll list the things that I didn't find in the OP at a glance.

Class list:
- Sorcerer
- Temp Rogue
- Warden
- Templar
- Dragon Knight

Sorcerer and Temp Rogue seem to be placeholders.

Same as in previous Elder Scrolls games you unlock skill improvements by using the basic skills.
According to the developers, the system is built for longevity and you can improve skills even way past maximum level.
On certain stages skills "branch out". For example, the basic "Slam" makes you choose between "Reverberating Slam" and "Shattering Slam" by skill level 5.

Weapon combinations are limited to:
- One-Handed / Shield
- Two-Handed
- Dual Wield
- Bow
- Two-Handed Staff
- One-Handed and Rune (whatever that is)

By leveling up you gain points that you can spend in Health, Magicka or Stamina.
Distributing these points holds passive bonuses. If you invest in Health for example, your block chance increases. Same for your runspeed if you invest in Stamina instead, as well as maximum Mana for Magicka.

Soul Gems from Skyrim make a return and can be put in weapons to improve their stats. The system seems similar to WoW.

Stats on items are:
- Health
- Magicka
- Stamina
- Armor
- Power

And finally, it is possible to post about your character progression to Facebook without leaving the game.

Here is the link. Get Google Translate on standby.

I feel like if I played this game, I'd want to have a distinct persona and actually RP. Will have to hope the world is as large and vibrant as the earlier games, not just catered to hardcore players who are min-maxing.

Well since its taking place across the entirety of Cyrodil hopefully it'll be pretty big. All they need to do recreate the landscape from the other games and then work on the places we haven't seen yet. Cyrodil is pretty well-documented in terms of size and appearance.

This could be the next MMO I decide to get into... I think Bethesda may prove to be very well suited for this genre.

I have forgotten and am too lazy to look it up, but is this before, after, or during Tiber Septim's reign?

Because Septim literally reshaped the land and climate of Cyrodiil.

As for like, Skyrim, Morrowind and shit? Yeah.

This looks pretty amazing tbh. In a way I hope Guild Wars 2 fails just to show that completely switching up a formula isnt always a good thing and that the traditional mmo, done properly is the best ways to go.

Personally hate MMOs and I can't believe they are doing this.

Though I considering the history this could still work wonders.

Though the castle seiges look promising.
