Elder Scrolls Online

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

Then I posted.

Also, dongs... I don't know if this will be any good. We've been told by Bethesda that they will do "this" and "that". Remember radiant AI? Where is that? I would take anything they say with an ocean of salt.

[Holkeye]

I am vehemently against this. So much so, in fact, that I used the word vehemently.

[Grafikal]

I do not like mmo games. I do like coop games. I love single player games.

Also, vehemently is an awesome word. I don't hear it enough. (Or read it for that matter)

[Dwarra?]

As I said in the IRC when I first posted this, if this were a coop game I would be behind it 100%. As an MMO, I'll wait and see.

[Revtattertot]

Since the TES series has come out with some awesome games since '02 [dunno exactly about Arena or Daggerfall, never played 'em], I'm kinda expecting this to be at the very least decent, if not awe-inspiring.

[Holkeye]

But its going to be defferent. Calling it an elder scrolls game and making the lore match doesn't make it so. Part of the mystique of TES is the feeling of isolation when you're in the wild. Even the art looks dopey compared to the regular art, though that might have something to do with Adam dying earlier this year. I just don't want mmo people fucking up my experience, so I won't be playing it. I hate to say this, but part of me hopes that it fails quickly, so they can learn the lesson and get on with what they do best. Fucking mmos.

[Revtattertot]

That's kinda stereotypical just saying MMO people.

[Holkeye]

I don't care.

[tSwitch]

Also, when people complain about a game being too WoW like, what is so wrong with being WoW like?  The controls?  The community?  What is so wrong with WoW that people dislike it so much?  Also, which iteration of WoW is it that people dislike so much?  It has changed so much over the years that it seems to me people just hate WoW just so they can join the crowd that hates WoW.  I've grown out of the whole WoW thing but I still consider it a solid game and very influential in the MMO market.

It's not that WoW is bad, it's that the MMO genre at large almost seems to be a one-game genre.  With so many games borrowing, using, or being influenced by wow mechanics, interface, quest hub design, and etc... (there are a lot of them), it gets very boring.

As a person who enjoys WoW, I'm tired of seeing every new game look like WoW in a new setting.  When I feel like playing WoW, I load up WoW, I don't go out and buy some new MMO to get the same experience with a different face.

They want to make a TES MMO.  They should make a damn TES MMO, not World of Tamrielcraft.

[Grafikal]

That's why I stopped playing SWTOR. I love Star Wars (obviously), but the only real difference was the use of voice acting and the cut scenes per quest or interaction with NPCs and stuff. Most MMO's only have very few slightly different things from MMO to MMO, but mostly they're all the same game.

Coop games are the best.

I never liked Skyrim, but I played small snips of Oblivion and it was neato. Not being able to have a house would put me off though. Same with no dragons.

Or werewolves

or no real time combat

and the level cap only takes 120 hours

and oh dear.

Let's see, in Oblivion you could actually own a house, and there's a LOT more challenge builds available for it than Skyrim, like single school, mundane, Atronach, iron-man, and even no weps. They are both great games, imo, so I won't bash Skyrim at all, since it has some other challenge builds in it as well.

Level caps aren't something to worry about, because in Oblivion they borrowed a monster system from another game, where the monsters leveled up WITH you.

Real-time combat is there in all genres, its just sometimes you have to up the difficulty to notice it.

Dragons & Werewolves, though, I agree completely.

[Holkeye]

There were no dragons in oblivion.

[Dwarra?]

Or werewolves.

[Holkeye]

Noobs.

[Revtattertot]

Or werewolves.

There were no dragons in oblivion.

That's why I said I agree.

Same with no dragons.

[Dwarra?]

That was for Gracie not you, seeing as she liked Oblivion and didn't like Skyrim yet she lists mostly Skyrim features for why she doesn't look forward to this game.

Comprehension is a magical thing.

[Revtattertot]

Ah. Guess I missed the context on that one.

Thanks for pointing that out.

[Malson]

There were no dragons in oblivion.

You never finished the main quest then.

[Revtattertot]

Well, you didn't really have to fight it, and it was a sort of god visage for Martin, so in that context it doesn't count.

[Gracie]

You guys DO realise I was talking about the MMO?

Derp.

[Acolyte]

You guys DO realise I was talking about the MMO?

Derp.

Dragons wouldn't make sense in the context of the story. It's 1000 years before Skryim, which, up until Skyrim, there weren't any dragons. Duh.

[Dwarra?]

You guys DO realise I was talking about the MMO?

Derp.

Yes and those are all features that were in the game you didn't like. So why would you not look forward to a game because they don't have those features?

Hurr durr derf derp pppbbbtththtpphhpthp

So uh...

Yeah. I'm gonna back them.

Same reason I don't like a lot of things. Fandom killed it dead. Which is why I watch virtually no anime, and haven't read a lot of comics.
