Server being up or down is a favor to TL boards and this thread so 5-10 people don't post about the same thing. I rather doubt Bethesda is gonna come get me for that one.

the NPC voices in this game are computer generated! either that or everyone is Stephen Hawkin! Maybe it's just place-holder content, that would be my guess if what you say is true.
idk what he's talking about. Voices don't all sound the same to me.

You have to click through all the dialogue options. They are 100% using microsoft sam type voice generation on the lines that they haven't finished recording yet. Its pretty funny, but I'm sure theyre going to fill those in with real voice actors later lol.. no way they can leave it like this on a "shipped" product

Yeah it seems to be very random when I see it now. Once I got past super beginning I noticed that some voices have the microsoft sam type voice and it's LOL. Then next it's normal, really weird but it's obviously place hold.
I really like the game, and considering when I first heard it announced I thought this was going to be terrible I am looking forward to the official release

Watching the wife play now in beta, and i gotta say it looks nice just watching whats going on. However I am still leery on actully wanting to get a copy to play. Playing a elder scrolls game is about immersion, or playing how you want to play for example modding your game. You cant do that in a mmo, to me that is not a elder scrolls game.

Down for maintenance (since 20 mins ago) just FYI, don't rush home to play etc.
Edit - back up!

By the way, some words of wisdom; if you are stuck on any quest, try relogging.

I reallllly should check my 2nd email address more often... checked for another reason tonight and found an ESO beta invite. Worth downloading the 20 gigs overnight to check it out tomorrow?

I honestly don't think so but can't really get into specific points for obvious reasons. Felt like a huge downgrade from skyrim apart from graphics :/.

Unless you have a dl cap I would. I personally really enjoy the game and maybe you'll hate it. I would definitely do it but yeah 
to me it feels like an actual elder scrolls game and I tell you when i first heard about this I thought it'd be a normal mmo, glad I was wrong. I have to really force myself to stop playing as I don't want to get too far or anything and just wait for release :D.
On another note one of the things that is really surprising to me is how well optimized the beta is. In every other MMO I have played especially at a beta phase had a decent amount of lag when there were 20 people in a spot. I am seeing 50+ people in beginning areas and not lagging at all, my fps is still nice (well I imagine as the game is smooth as butter). This actually makes me think pvp won't be so god awful (least I hope so anyway).
I know in swtor the pvp was hard to play because the fps drop was so bad and that was after release, considering this is a beta I am very impressed with how well optimized the game is. In general I will be pre-ordering this game 100% now.

meh, im an hour or two in and im not impressed... feels like any old mmo specifically nothing makes it feel like it's a part of the elder scrolls series
|
I LOVE this game. All I am going to say
|
The game doesnt seem to provide enough quests in order for you to keep up with the recommended quest levels. The first dungeon is lvl 15 and yet, having done everything on the map prior to that, im only lvl 12. Our group is stuck on the last boss cause we are only lvl 10, 10 ,12 and 15.

In undetailed words:
It's bad, don't bother.

Plays exactly like Skyrim.. but with hundreds of other "heros" running around with u. plays exactly the same, looks exactly the same
