my secret fear is that they next elder scrolls will be online only

2/15/2013 10:56:07 AM

^ Nah. Too much $$$ to be made.

2/15/2013 5:08:46 PM

Well it appears this will be the end for me.

I thought Minecraft would do it. It wore off. Skyrim lasted 200 hours. Thought Diablo 3 would be the breaker, but it was an atrocious failure of a video game.

But this...this will be the one. My life as I know it will be over.

2/15/2013 11:22:52 PM

^^ i hope that's true...fuck this online fad

2/20/2013 9:34:47 PM

this gonna be like WoW and be a subscription based game?

2/21/2013 10:32:38 AM

This will consume my life when it comes out. I have high hopes since it's TES.

It looks like the graphics are diminished, which is expected for a megaserver MMO.

The surprising thing is the graphics are still pretty amazing, which is very exciting.

I'm not sure about the combat system yet, although it seems to be fairly similar.

How will they manage free-will on the PVP servers? Can I lockpick someone's house and break in and steal everything? Can I boobytrap my house to prevent break-ins? Can I hire companions to protect my house while I'm offline, and they will loot the bodies of any intruders?

This game could be so amazing, but it remains to be seen how they implement free-will in a MMO.

Anyone get into the beta?

4/2/2013 12:07:12 PM

Bump.

PC Release: 4/4/14
Console Release: 6/14

can't wait!

12/12/2013 10:15:57 AM

Console release? NICE

12/12/2013 10:52:51 AM

I'm guessing this is just a difference in opinion, but seeing a game like this have a soon-after console release just puts me a bit on edge. It makes me worry that they will dumb down controls and features in the PC game in the name of consistency. My mind immediately goes the the Skyrim inventory and menu system .

12/12/2013 11:04:50 AM

Sorry for never posting my beta impressions.

I played the most recent (and last) beta weekend. I was underwhelmed in the major. At the time it did not feel like it was all the close to being finished. Plenty of bugs and graphical errors. LOTS of interface errors trying to replicate the zoom-in-on-NPC's-face interaction mechanic. They didn't let anyone test the crafting at all--which is a little questionable. I guess they could have sufficiently tested that in closed beta, though. Skills and talent learning were odd but interesting, because right from the start you could take your own path and it felt a bit unique. Skills not quite balanced yet--a sorcerer with Stormcalling was quite OP for a low level. Also, I really do like the leveling system based on using the skills. At low levels you seem to level up a skill every time you use it.

I was only in the two noob starter zones, and they had boring designs, but that's pretty standard I guess. I never went to a major city, or even know how any of that works.

the combat was also TERRIBLE. it was slow and clumbsy

I thought skyrim was a huge improvement over Oblivion. Oblivion I could spend 10 minutes changing my outfit for combat and sorting through my potions when in need.

12/12/2013 1:18:22 PM

Never played an online rpg. Will I be able to have a good time just playing a few hours a week?

2/1/2014 9:46:07 AM

for what are they are going to charge for this game, you would want to play more than a few hours a week to get your moneys worth

I was in the most recent beta, and I've also never played and online rpg and this did not make me want to start

2/1/2014 1:34:05 PM

Open beta going on until monday

2/8/2014 1:27:15 PM

any news on how this is ? It's a shame they won't let people stream it.

2/8/2014 5:22:34 PM

terrible

2/8/2014 5:32:19 PM

i can't see how they will be able to sustain a pay-to-play model for a game like this. feels more like a single player rpg with a chat room.

2/8/2014 6:00:13 PM

Haven't had a chance to check it out.

they sent out another wave of beta invites for another beta weekend starting friday

2/25/2014 2:28:05 PM

this game is turble

2/25/2014 3:44:24 PM

while i like the elder scrolls games, i can't imagine playing an mmo (i didnt try the beta).

i thought half the big deal with these games were the mods anyways which you wont get in an mmo. what exactly are folks looking forward to here?

2/25/2014 3:46:59 PM

Game is fun for an MMO

Emphasis on those last 3 words

2/25/2014 5:32:12 PM

Man all I ever wanted was Skyrim with a CO-OP option

2/27/2014 3:57:27 PM

I have a beta key for this weekend if someone wants it, I'm not gonna use it. Send me a PM

I think I have 2 actually.

[Edited on February 27, 2014 at 5:44 PM. Reason : .]

2/27/2014 5:43:44 PM

I really like the game and actually pre-ordered it after last beta... just hit level 14 tonight

the instances are really fun as a tank.

2/28/2014 9:45:38 PM

optimization is terrible. i'd have to upgrade my computer to play this.

2/28/2014 11:17:47 PM

really? what's your setup?

3/1/2014 12:33:34 AM

msi ge-70. i can run most newer games on medium to high.

3/1/2014 2:04:39 AM

Wow, it really must be horribly optimized.

3/1/2014 11:06:54 AM

my computer is 3 years old and it runs the game perfectly fine on highest settings.

3/1/2014 6:46:43 PM

optimization means making sure it runs well on all (or most) hardware with enough power

3/1/2014 8:55:57 PM

how long does the beta go, through Sunday?

3/2/2014 4:05:43 PM

How is it, PCers?

4/12/2014 4:33:48 PM

quite possibly the best game I have ever played.....

It's not for the folks that like a quick way to max level. I've played almost everyday for a couple hours since release and I'm only mid-30s. There is so much to do in this game... mass pvp, public instances, dolmens (rifts from RIFT), PVE dailies in massive PVP zone (harder than you think when there are 500+ people on server), unbelieveable graphics in instances/world, HARD instances, very indepth crafting system with 6 different professions, even more indepth skill system.

for skills, you level up a weapon type (you can choose any/all) and you choose a class (4). each class has 3 skilltrees you can move around in freely so you can have any combo of tank/heals/dps that you want for any class. I'm a "rogue" with dual wield as my main wep then i switch to a healing staff to heal the group or myself when needed. most of my rogue abilities use magic so it works well with healing.

i would HIGHLY recommend this game if you have time.

4/15/2014 2:53:36 PM

i wasn't too impressed by the beta, and the release got mixed reviews. Right now i'm holding out for Wildstar but if that bombs i'll give this a try.

4/15/2014 3:37:54 PM

Can I enjoy playing solo?

4/15/2014 8:08:38 PM

^ an important question that I too would like to know. I can't commit hours in the evenings with buds but a few hours spread out a day is possible

4/15/2014 10:22:41 PM

it's basically skyrim online. most of it is single player but you can grp up with friends and its not split xp.

4/15/2014 10:25:16 PM

is this any good? it's on XBox Gamepass.
