    Rants about the essence of Elder Scrolls, then returns to the game that completely missed that essence in a way that will be hard for TESO to top.

    It's my opinion; no game can ever top Oblivion for me. Skyrim is a great game, but Oblivion has attached itself to my soul like no other game ever will.

    I'm going to guess that it was your first TES game, Morrowind did the same for me, while Oblivion did nothing for me.

    Precisely! Morrowind is cool; I love it's depth, but I think whatever your first ES game is will blow you away.

    I don't want to lambast your opinion, I just find it funny that your reaction to TESO is so similar to a lot of people's opinion of TESIV.

    It shows just how subjective this all is.

    Played Oblivion for years and was still blown away with Skyrim. I don't see any reason to go back to Oblivion. So much for "first TES"

    But yeah, this looks more like WOW than TES to me.

    The graphics and animations alone.. Big overdone and completely unreal character designs with blocky animations.

    I really enjoyed Oblivion as my first TES game, but thought Skyrim was an improvement on a ton of things and I think I liked that one better.

    Although then again I really didn't like how it seemed like the entire world was the same ~10 people with different names, I'm hoping they've stayed away from it in ESO (and all future games)

    on a side note, did the last beta already get put out? As in if I haven't gotten an invite, do I have to wait for the game to go live?

    Skyrim you can get a non-fatal headshot with an arrow and they'll blame it on the wind! I do love Skyrim's bow killcam though....

    I'm most interested in the PvP. I do enjoy huge, endless PvP battles.

    Seen a few more recent videos, and honestly it's looking better than I last saw it for myself.
    Coming betaweekends will be crucial, as I really want a new MMO to try and love the setting. That and Wildstar is beginning to lose its charm, feeling dated in the last vids I saw.

    I spend more money going to the movies (by myself, let alone with a girl) for one evening then I would to play a MMORPG for a month.

    However I don't think the sale of the game itself and expansions is reasonable if you have a subscription. The game should be free to download, and all the expansion content should be built into the subscription fee. You pay to play, that's it.

    Of course I'm the guy who pretty much only plays free cosmetics based games and hasn't spent a cent on them. I'm actually starting to feel bad. Must be my Catholic guilt of my Jewish blood.

    I can invite a "friend" for this weekends stress test. It's a big download, so if you want to play it keep that in mind. You get a free monkey. I probably won't even get to play since my internet takes a literal century to even get this game patched, and last time I almost had it fully patched all the data reset. Maybe someone else can get some time in.

    Who wants in (I only think I can bring one)? No NDA this weekend.

    Played beta this past weekend. I have been a fan of the series since Oblivion in 2007. I enjoyed it a lot, already preordered Imperial Edition for only $64 from Green Man Gaming.

    It's obviously not a traditional Elder Scrolls game, but for me, it's fun. Didn't try the PvP but that looks ing amazing.

    If you ask me, it doesn't feel like WoW very much. The combat is like the Elder Scrolls without collision (you can walk through enemies, and for good reason, I wouldn't want that when fighting in thousand-person battles) and with MMO abilities.

    And honestly Pasan, I prefer the stylized look to the faux-realistic potatofaces of TES IV and V.

    In this particular case? 1 month after release.

    I've been in a few beta rounds by now. Having no experience with MMO's and coming from Oblivion and Skyrim, there are some obvious oddities. Imagine hundreds of people playing those games in one world? Often you will find several "chosen ones" grouped around one quest-giver. The feeling of having a special destiny won't last long. Personally I don't think they should have bothered to try. Combat isn't much like Oblivion or Skyrim IMHO. For instance, when you try to dodge a spell or arrow, you'll often find it will change course to hit you after all. Maybe that's inevitable in a multiplayer environment though. Likewise, you really don't have to be precise about aiming blows, spells or arrows. Instead of being about quick movement and accuracy, combat seems to be much more about effective use of your special abilities. It's fun in its own way, but not typically Elder Scrolls. I felt more like being inside a single person Dragon Age origins.

    I have no interest in MMORPG's. Seeing TES Online just makes me turn elsewhere for a proper rpg. Also, regardless of who is praising the graphics or what needed to have a smooth game play over the bandwidth, this is sub-standard/obsolete graphics in 2014.

    Looking at PvE footage, it looks boring.
    PvP looks promising, sort of a next gen dark age of Camelot.

    The problem with DAOC was in large part cheating. You could buy or get a free hack program that would show where EVERYONE was long before you could see them. Either you cheated or you were slaughtered, there was no in between.

    I'm wondering what sort of "anti-hacking" EEO has. Lately I've been VERY disappointed with MMO's and hacking and I'm not going to play another one unless I can have some assurances about it. (PS2 I'm looking at you)
