Because if you really want immersion you'll walk and immerse yourself. The options are what makes elder scrolls great. Play and enjoy the game however you like. | ||

The tribunal is enough to clear any threat molag bal might be. On January 24 2014 08:45 Holy_AT wrote: But it will be the best in graphics and even lore and immersion wise. TESO? Best in lore? pfthahaha, yeah after murdering and butchering the TES lore, i'm sure it will have good lore, oh wait, it doesn't. Instead we get bland races and mary sue leaders for them (Altmer leader). There's a very good reason why TESO is non-canon. | ||

Well everyone is entitled to his opinion, but I dont know what MMOs are having better graphics than ESO ? Maybe mention 3 or five out of the multitude of mmos. And of course they made adaptations to the story, if you don't like adaptations you really must hate prequels, sequels and re-imaginations. They even did changes in the TES series themselves and contradictions... I cant think of any mmo that is more immersive at the current time, spoken texts, well thought out areas quests and reappearing characters. For me, I just like it. I mean taste is in the eye of the beholder but some things like TES having top graphics compared to other mmos is just a fact. You may dislike the art style itself, but you cant dispute the other fact. | ||

Yeah, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Too bad you didn't write as though you were just talking about your opinion, you were writing as though you were just stating facts. Also you said and i quote "it will be the best in graphics" even though an MMO like TERA easily has better graphics, especially since in TERA the armor doesn't look as though it is painted onto the character.

They even did changes in the TES series themselves and contradictions... Adaptions? It's no longer TES, that's why it's non-canon. They have changed so much they could just as well have created their own universe, it's a poorly done TES paint-job. Again, races lose the things that make them unique, races that hate eachother are suddenly friends just because, the big evil that's threatening everyone could be stopped by the dunmer alone and they would be home for tea as well. Not to mention anytime anything was even a little bit too complicated they ruled it out as a transcription error. The endless jungles of cyrodill? Transcription errors, the amazing cities of summerset isle? Transcription errors. I could go dig up lists of things they have done to butcher the lore, they haven't just made small changes, they have completely ruined big parts of the lore, that's why even bethesda is now taking a stance that this game isn't canon, because it's so fucking dumb. Oh and let's not get started on how none of the factions make any sense. Or how Elder scrolls are now fucking CTF objects, the whole thing the series is meant to be built on, scrolls of unfathomable influence on reality itself, are fucking capture the fucking flag objects.

And yes i can, it looks incredibly bland to me. The items often fit incredibly awkwardly onto the characters and the clothing looks as though it was painted onto the character. It might come as a shocker, but for an MMO your character is really fucking important, having the characters looking bad is a huge step down. | ||

It's really easy to get good graphics, you can just throw money at it and the graphics will go up. You can't just throw money at gameplay and expect it to go up. | ||

ESO has one of the most exciting combat systems to date. It has realtime combat with blocking and attacks from the mouse just like a singleplayer game. Also abilities are just support, the balance is more towards actual player skill than levels and abilities chosen. | ||

I played a 2h melee class and it was some of the most boring, unintuitive, and awkward combat of any mmo I've ever played. | ||

If I tell you not to watch that movie you are so waiting for will that stop you ? I will still play that game even if I come from the camp of my favorite game being sold to another developer and getting destroyed with a couple of shitty releases - I have Neverwinter Nights in mind. | ||

The point is you can have story in any game, just write in an engaging quest series and you're done. It doesn't even have to be required but it can be there. Good point but those aren't MMOs. MMOs have something similar in instanced dungeons (where the storytelling can be better) but in the open world they are quite different (not limited to 4-8 players). | ||

People made careers out of that crafting system, cities would be full with players that offered tons of different stuff. It was a real breathing econemy. Also the class system, you could study and mix tons of classes i remember. Like Doctor and Teras Kasi for example. So good memories from that MMO, its never been an MMO like it ... Thinking back on it, it was probably the most advanced MMO. Cant think of any that come close to it now. Sure MMO today have more exciting combat but man, here you had open world PvP. It was amazing. Sounds cool. Eve and Ultima Online (pre-expansions) are/were the only others like it. | ||

I did not play the beta, but I did play Skyrim and I have some idea of what you are referring to... so no, it is not innovative and certainly not a sign of 'fun' or 'success'. Just see TERA and Blade and Soul. | ||
