It’s a fantasy massive multi-player online game, if you want to be different in the game, you need to spend lots of time and energy in the game to surpass others. They succeeded in my opinion.įor further opinions, I suggest starting with this list.ELOA features the most interesting and comprehensive PvP and PvE all sets for PC gamers worldwide. For me, it was just a matter whether they could make TESO feel like Skyrim to me. Others in the blogesphere with more passion for the game (and the Elder Scrolls series) have deeper thoughts on the subject. It could have been worse.Īnyway, that wasn’t much of a look at the game, just a superficial scouting report. It is still higher on my list than Landmark or WildStar. Or maybe I will finally tire of Pandaria dailies and will have ground all the factions I care to before Warlords of Draenor launches.Īfter my 2014 MMO Outlook post, that was really the best you could expect from me. Maybe come the usual summer hiatus of the instance group Potshot or Gaff will want to go play and we’ll run off to see what has become of the game. So I will be sticking with WoW and EVE Online for now. I just don’t need another MMO to play and nobody with whom I play with regularly is interested in the game at this point. So we have a decent MMO based on an established franchise that isn’t a complete WoW clone. The lack of mods will annoy the Elder Scrolls purists and the masses of adventurers swarming across the lands changes the essential feeling of the game relative to Skyrim… I often felt really alone in that game, something that drove the desire to play with friends… but those are things that just come with the MMO territory. While I still think a Borderlands 2 4-player co-op model with plenty of post launch DLC was the winning move for an Elder Scrolls game, the MMO version still works. But what I had was enough.Īnd will I be pre-ordering it and playing the game at launch? So I guess I am done with any beta access. However, my key appeared to be only good for the load test weekend. There was also nearly two months to go until launch when I was playing, so I assume that Zenimax will be working hard to squash between now and then.Īnd how did I like it? Enough that I wanted to go back and play it some more. I ran into a few and I saw people complaining about more. I did not get enough time to run around to be able to say that there were enough side paths as to make it just like Skyrim, but it certainly seemed to be building towards that. Explorers can explore and will be rewarded. These are not post- Cataclysm WoW 1-60 areas with exactly one quest thread running through the whole zone. But, you can also still says bollocks to that and head off in another direction and run into side quests and other things to do. Unless, of course, you liked it in Skyrim.Īnd, once you get out of the starter area and get situated, there is a linear quest line to follow to keep the completionist achievers happy, as with… you know. It feels better than DC Universe Online, which suffers from that same cross-platform requirement, but it will still make you angry until you get used to it. If I could find it, I would link to a blog post that Richard Bartle did about Skyrim in which he bagged on the lack of things on screen to poke.Īnd, of course, the whole UI is designed to work across PCs and consoles, which will make it annoying to PC gamers. If you are used to raid frames and rotation helpers and hot bars and a dozen quest tracker entries and what not, this will no doubt be confusingly sparse. The minimalist “see the world not the buttons” UI is pretty much straight from Skyrim.
