Should I play this shit?
ESO
Try making a decision by yourself for once in your worthless life.
I can't figure out what to do. I bought it on sale and I sometimes wander around get bored and then get laid instead. Why play this when you can fuck bitches instead.
No, it really isn't fun. You are better off sticking to the mainline.
The /tesog/fags will tell you otherwise and proclaim it is God's gift to mankind
It's ok. There's a lot of content to do, but it's pointless if you don't like the combat. I can't stand it, personally.
Don't fall for the 'you can be anything' meme. You can be a tank, a healer, a physical dps, and a magic dps, and they're all the same across all the classes.
There's plenty of lore if you're into that. Also RP guilds.
No, the numbers are too big
It's pretty good, I've just picked it up again after a six month break.
Basically theres a like a cagillion quests, some of really generic some a interesting.
Theres a story line for each region and main story for the whole game.
The other dude is right, the combat is pretty naff, just doesnt feel satisfying at all.
However it is one of the most popular mmos at the moment, I dont know why but theres always players about.
It would be a great game if it wasn't for the combat, and I put that down to the sound effects.
If you like the elder scrolls environment then you'll probably like it.
Oh and I tried like every mmo under the sun before going back to ESO, Black Dessert, Star Trek Online, Neverwinter, EVE Online, WoW. It's really the quality of the set pieces and way the game is made, it does feel like an mmo but a high quality one.
One shitty thing Zenimax and Bethesda pulled is making Imperial City paid dlc.
If there was one hub where people would go it would have been imperial city.
Unironically the third best game in the series behind Daggerfall and Morrowind.
Imperial City is fucked and is in the center of a three faction conflict. Making it the hub would've been retarded. There is no hub. It's ongoing war between factions that want to kill each other. There's like fifteen-twenty major cities and there's no centralized auction house system it wouldn't make sense to have Orgrimar or Stormwind
It's a pretty fun MMO, but it suffers from being almost entirely solo which defeats the purpose of an MMO. The character design is also hideous. If you're a solo fag and you don't care about waifus then you'll probably enjoy it.
Half of this.
Yes you can solo the main story and most side missions.
But it is funner with a friend.
>There is no hub.
So whats there?
This. Craglorn is the only zone of its type and they abandoned the concept of adventure zones when solofags bitched they couldn't solo one zone in the entire fucking game.
That being said if you play it like Skyrim or Oblivion it's basically a fuckhuge TES game with depth.
As far as gameplay is concerned, it's another MMO and that means you can either like it or dislike it.
The lore part of the game is shitty balls though.
15-20 cities with a decentralized market where you're shopping around vendors that are bid on by trading guilds every week for the best prices.
>That being said if you play it like Skyrim or Oblivion it's basically a fuckhuge TES game with depth.
This, except, what I've found to get really tiresome is that so far in Glenumbra and Stormhaven theres always these mini factions made up to occupy the area.... like its always something dumb like The Fallen Mages or The Undaunted or The Stone Rose Knights or some shit.
>lore is bad
Yeah no. MK plays in /tesog/ and he's said he consults on the game regularly. Lawrence the loremaster is kirkbride-tier too
>The lore part of the game is shitty balls though.
This, and they just got a new Lore master because Elder Scrolls lore is so fucked.
Stay mad Bethesda shill
TESO is now the basis for the majority of mosf of the lore in the series and it's awesome. Unlike Bethesda, ZOS doesn't hide the weirdness of the series
I'm the shill?
I know this is bait, but more lore doesn't mean its better.
All ZOS did was go, "Hey we got the Elder Scrolls licence, lets make a le epic elderscrolls game to the max XXXDDD, you remember Sheogorath don't you?"
How do they explain, for example, the "elder scrolls are combat buffs" and the "dunmer, nords and argonians are butt-buddies now" thing?
Elder Scrolls as a series would unironically be in way better hands under Zenimax Online Studios than under Todd's team.
Fuck Bethesda. Every IP they've handled is better off when someone else is working with it, including Fallout 76 which was only crucified for shit that Bethesda fanboys ignored for the past 16 fucking years since Morrowind
"heyyy lets appeal to womens, Captains-Sees-all-colours want YOU to taste the rainbow XD"
Fallout 76 was slammed for things Bethesda Maryland ignored in their own games. I'm convinced if they weren't handed the "Creation Engine" and put Fallout 76 in a more technically competent manner that it'd be regarded pretty highly
76 had solid writing too.
