(Comment: Yes I know about the [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1266740]Elder Scrolls[/url] megathread but now that collector's edition for ESO has been revealed and we are approaching release, I feel this should have its own megathread and not mixed with Skyrim!! ESO is going to be a HUGE game!)

It is a time of strife and unrest. Armies of revenants and dark spirits manifest in every corner of Tamriel. Winters grow colder and crops fail. Mystics are plagued by nightmares and portents of doom.
Four years ago, in 2E 578, an arcane explosion of energy in the Imperial City set off mystical aftershocks that swept across Nirn. Mages died or went mad. Supernatural abominations from the plane of Oblivion, the Daedra, appeared in greater numbers than ever before. The constellation of the Serpent grew so large that it dominated the night sky.
So began the grand scheme of Molag Bal, Daedric Prince of domination and enslavement. His Dark Anchors, vortexes of evil magic, weaken the barrier between worlds, threatening to merge Nirn and Oblivion into a single, nightmarish hellscape.
In the midst of this chaos, three alliances vie for control of the Imperial City and the White-Gold Tower. High Rock, Sentinel, and Orsinium stand as one, united under the rule of the High King in Wayrest. Valenwood and Elsweyr have forged an alliance of their own with Summerset, while Black Marsh, Morrowind, and Skyrim have formed a third, uneasy pact.
The Daggerfall Covenant. The Aldmeri Dominion. The Ebonheart Pact.
Three armies will take up arms against the Empire, and against each other, to wrest control of the Imperial City and White-Gold Tower from the dark forces of Oblivion itself.
Where do your loyalties lie?

Thinking about buying it, looks quite decent in those videos
Man, I was in the last Beta Weekend, and I must have played for only 2 hours or so. I gave up around the time when I was getting fetch-quests from NPCs voiced by Microsoft Sam. I found the game as dull as a sack of potatoes... I didn't even bother booting it up this weekend. :<
I played in the beta, and the game was honestly just awful. It feels like a low budget version of skyrim, and pretty much the only thing it has going for it is the fact that it is an elder scrolls game ( somewhat ).
It was kind of fun to me.
Installing at home right now. Looks like shit but my friend says it's awesome. On the other hand, he hated Skyrim so I don't know what to think really. :v:
Played it for a while now, it's ok.
It's like a mix between GW2 and Skyrim.
Beta info coming soon:

Beta is this weekend, you should have gotten an email with an extra key to invite a friend.
These beta weekends are always nice, can't wait to test out the new patch.

Sweet!
[QUOTE=usaokay;43715155]The only reason why I hate this game is that I cannot dress my character as Spider-Man, and then proceed to go have tentacle sex with Hatsune Miku -- all while Thomas the Tank Engine lay waste to the McDonalds.[/QUOTE]

Multiple guilds? Yuck, GW2 all over again, and I hated what ANet did to one one of my favorite series. I'll hold my judgement until the end-game reviews but if this turns out to be cheesy PvP with zero PvE raids (i.e. GW2 but with a subscription) no chance I'll be buying into this.

I don't, which is why I didn't say that and said I'll withhold my judgement until I find out.
Just thought I'd bump this, I'm downloading the game right now and would like to see how many FP'ers are actually playing this game.
Also, there's a sale going on at greenmangaming, they're offering the game for €14 now (and are an authorized seller).
Finally theres a proper thread. You cant talk to anyone about this game in the Elder scrolls thread. Well, lets get this out of the way, I hated the beta, bought the game 3 months ago, Love the game now. Good game. I think im almost lvl 35
Played for a little over an hour and it seems alright so far. I'm not sure I like the manual blocking system though. My biggest problem is the character creation, I wanted to recreate my khajiit from skyrim but I couldn't get anywhere close. I thought the customization would be even greater in this but there aren't even half the options there are in skyrim. Feels really low quality, like who the hell thought it'd be okay to mix face paint and scars into one category so you can't use both?
