So, The Elder Scrolls Online. I'm pretty sure everyone thought this would happen eventually. At first I was pretty skeptical about this game, but as more information has been released, I can honestly say that this is the game I'm looking forward to the most in the near future.
One of the big things that I was most upset about is that MMOs are usually in third person, and the Elder Scrolls has always been a first person series. Apparently, you have the option to play in first person as well in the Elder Scrolls Online. That made me as giddy as a schoolgirl.Also, hasn't everyone wanted an Elder Scrolls Game that took place in all of Tamriel? I sure did. This is now reality.Here's a video about it:What do you guys think? Looking forward to it as much as I am?
I'm surprised with all the hate for the MMO. I thought the Elder Scrolls series in general were worshipped as some kind of religious scripture in video game format around here and everybody will be like "oooooOOOOOOoooooOOOOOooooh".
I didn't watch the whole vid, but I hope the MMO resembles Oblivion in terms of overall structure, rather than Skyrim. Making Skyrim into an MMO would be like having a single player experience, except with other players instead of NPCs.Skyrim was a much better game than Oblivion overall, but the quests were dull because the developers were afraid of letting the player do too much not to ruin the status quo of the game's world, and the outrageous Swedish accent for every Nord guard was fucking annoying. Why would you even want to have every guard say the same lines in a different voice? Wouldn't different responses make more sense and outline some more differences between the Nord and the Imperial mentality? But nooo, arrow to the knee, adventurer.P.S. I'd like to play the MMO for 5 minutes just to stand in front of the main building of the starter city and role-play as an annoying Talos priest.P.P.S. I have a conspiracy theory:Skyrim was originally meant to be the Elder Scrolls MMO. This would explain why most quests take place in separate areas (dungeons) with so little to do in the actual overworld and why the story is based on opposing factions. It also explains why the entire continent is hidden in the game.When the devs realised the project was too big, they dumbed it down, went for a single player game instead, reusing some levels and ideas, and released it to get money for funding the actual MMO. Of course, they had started building the game from the Skyrim area of Tamriel before precisely for this situation (in case they'd have to pick one location, it shouldn't be a recreation of earlier ones).Everyone +1 Cesque NOW.
I plus oned.
But not because you told me too.If what they say about the dungeons being the same is true, I'm definitely going to visit Vindasel from Oblivion. If you played Oblivion, you know that an NPC named Umbra lived there with the most powerful sword in the game. Umbra.
EDIT: By the way, It's nice to see that there's at least SOME people here who don't hate The Elder Scrolls.Looks interesting, but I'm more interested in Fallout Online.
Did anyone actually say they hate elder scrolls?
Just because people have a few complaints doesn't mean they hate the game. I for one had an amazing time playing it, and the most memorable thing for me was the vast, detailed, immersive environment.
I've never been immersed in a TES game.
I love TES games but, as someone who does care, I hate how buggy they always are.
Seriously, if I didn't save 5 different save files, I don't know if I would play their games. SOMETHING always glitches up and makes it almost impossible to complete a mission or get a certain item due to a glitch. :\But when I played Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim for the first time I always was astounded by how much sheer CONTENT they packed into the games. Not to mention the GOTY editions.
