In Morrowind, books describe Cyrodiil as being a thick jungle.  Oops, what happened in Oblivion?

Later they retconned it, saying that when Talos became a god he changed the climate.  :rolleyes:

well I agree that's pretty lazy of them, just like with Coldharbor looking literally nothing like it's supposed to, or how they took away Molag Bal's moniker as prince of rape just so they don't offend anyone. :rolleyes:

this whole game makes me sad.

I've been wanting to do another Skyrim character, just hate the early game grind trying to push through all the parts I've done 100x over. :lol:

I felt the same way when I first heard about it but I'm going to give it a shot regardless. Who knows? I might enjoy the game play. No other high fantasy MMO has really kept my attention since I begged off WoW pre-Kung Fu Panda so *shrug* What's the worst that can happen?

I end up deciding I want to fight on Ulfric's side for once.

So far I'm loving what I see in the beta.  It really does feel like an elder scrolls game.  Nothing like how some games seem to be just models and names plopped down into the land of some generic mmo or clone of another.

Only just got to make it out of the starting little story area and into the big wide world when I had to get ready for work, but its pretty, and impressive so far.

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

It basically made me want to replay Skyrim. Lockpicking is one of my favorite ES activities and ESO made me hate it. Instantly. And that has nothing to do with me wasting 2 lock picks getting a grip on the new mechanic. The graphics are gorgeous and I say this while running it on a 2 year old laptop.

But it seems like all of the things I enjoyed about Oblivion and Skyrim were stripped out.

I'm slightly enjoying it so far..... I too just got out the starting noob zone.
Melee characters seem kinda weak to start.. I rolled a "dragonbane" or whatever the fuck the warrior is called.. not very impressed with the combat.

I rolled a sorcerer and that fucker just melts faces.

That's the one thing about elder scrolls games that has always let me down... the combat is so linear and weak.. especially melee.. it's just.. right hand left hand... no special moves really. I was kind of hoping for TESO to be different... but no.. it's more of the same boring combat. I mean they added the "special counterattack" thing which is a slight improvement.. but still falls short IMO.

Graphics are good at ultra high and I haven't really gotten deep enough into the storyline to really form a solid opinion yet. But so far my overall impression is "meh".

I sincerely doubt Bethesda's decision to make this is a paid subscription based game.. I know I probably will definitely not be paying $15/month for it. I mean at least WoW could keep people hooked, but that also had a very in-depth combat system, and end game PVE. So far TESO doesn't look like they have any end game.. and I know it's just a BETA.. but it's just a sign of things to come. I feel they are just going to fall into the same trap of most MMOs with the endless grindfest and go here do that repeat.

Just finished playing the beta. It's fucking sweet I think. I normally hate MMO's because of the way the combat system is. In this game it's just like Skyrim. Left click attacks, right click blocks. You can dodge attacks and it pretty much controls like skyrim.

Personally I think WoW is shit, but that's mainly because it's got boring combat. The combat in ESO is alot more engaging and fun, it's a great mesh of Elder Scrolls and MMORPG. First person works great. Still needs some work though, but even for a beta its the funnest MMO i've played.

WoW is shit now, correct. I was more referring to Vanilla WoW, back when combat was uber dynamic and required skills. It's nothing like that now.

we need a good live-action mmorpg. hopefully eso is that.

there really isn't a good one out, unless you consider Tera a "good" game.

I really enjoyed my entire beta weekend.  Obviously it has a lot of glaring issues, being that this is still closed beta week 14, but I really found it different and refreshing.  At first I hated the lickpicking, but I picked it up after only a few broken lockpicks and the mechanic is fun.  In Skyrim  I could pick a damn lockpick with no skill level in it at all, manually, that was a master lock.  THATS not fun, thats cheap/cheating feeling.  In this even with the most basic locks I would still break one now and then, and being on a timer makes it a better challenge as well.

There needs to be more 'feedback' when attacking for sure.  I.e. it feels when im swinging my sword or dagger at a mob that it goes right through them, not like it connects with anytihing but this is a well known issue and will end up fixed before release.

I think that at the very least there lacks an mmo LIKE this out there and as long as they dont go trying to cater to every little whiner out there and nerf the hell out of it should be fun.

I didn't however make it to the level requirement to get into the pvp arena which was the point of this beta.  Hopefully that doesn't cause me to not get invited to the next.

I read some articles with discussions with head devs that talked about how they are going to be implementing some sort of crime/punishment system in game AFTER the main game system is working and balanced.  Where you actually can be evil/do bad things like murder eople or pick ocket and steal I guess.  They want to implement the system way later however because it will heavily involve one player reporting or hunting other players, so if there is imbalance or glaring holes it could be easily abused to harrass people and other such things that would cause it to be uber no fun.

Also, people seem to be confused on the whole zenimax thing.  Zenimax online is owned by Zenimax group, Zenimax group also owns Bethesda and all of the other IP's from id software, etc.

I'd bet money this won't happen, no player will keep playing a game where someone can just pickpocket all their valuable items or murder them on the streets.

Nor will any developer stick your character in a cell for a set period of time when you're paying 15 a month to play. Even in the singleplayer games you just sleep and you're out.
