[QUOTE=zeldar;39975902]I have to admit that I'm a tad bit curious to see what kind of "singleplayer" content will be available in the ESO.

Do anyone know why the fuck the cyclone spell is not accessible without mod? This is the best fucking thing ever!

So, after starting a new playthrough of Oblivion, I think I finally found which quest is my favorite. It's Lifting the Vale, the one where you need to find the Draconian Madstone for the Countess of Bruma's collection of Akaviri Artifacts. Just the thought of entering a Fort that's over 1,000 years old and laying the containing spirits to rest is pretty heartwarming.
[QUOTE=Pretty Obscure;39976863]Because it's a shout added by Dragonborn.[/QUOTE] Well fuck... That cyclone is pretty cool tho.
is dragonborn any good?
Skyrim DLC has been quite similar to old expansions and plugins, so quite neat all in all. Try to get them on a Steam sale tho.
Dragonborn is better than dawnguard. Still not quite worth the 20 dollars I think, considering it certainly doesn't have 33% of skyrims content by comparison (to justify being 33% the price of skyrim) nor does it add any new major game features. I haven't really got around to playing through it, the morrowind atmosphere of dragonborn had the adverse effect of making me start playing morrowind instead of skyrim :suicide: Would be worth buying when on sale. [editline]20th March 2013[/editline] Surprisingly though Dragonborn's OST is better than skyrims, odd considering it's just a dlc.

My only issue with Dragonborn is that it's another railroad into the main quest if you really want to get the most out of it.
The whole thing is a railroad I just wanted to explore and every time I slept the game was literally dragging me into the storyline. It's like that scene from the mountain climbing episode of the Simpsons where when homer sleeps the Sherpas drag him up the mountain before he wakes up. I mean fuck, why not just play the game for me? [I]"Oh hey you seem to be doing stuff that's not centered around the storyline, here, let me correct that for you."[/I]
I'd complain more with you but I'm getting the feeling that I've hit that note so hard the thread is collectively willing to send me a letter bomb. [editline]20th March 2013[/editline] [SUB][sp]It's also a reminder that Bethesda has to literally copy their past to produce decent material[/sp][/SUB]

[QUOTE=Tuskin;39973657]Some new TESO Ingame footage spliced in an interview. Thanks to Dustinm16 for posting this in the news thread. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTzFoM5WxGA[/media] [editline]19th March 2013[/editline] So, there are 4 classes, and each class has 3 core skill trees. But you don't have to use the skill trees at all. Think of classes as more of a template, you can follow it, but you don't have to. Roll a Magic class, but just use Swords.[/QUOTE] It looked like complete shit, but now i've seen this... My opinion has changed.
[QUOTE=soullink;39974159]I'm actually really pumped for TESO, see it that way: People can use TESO to help them create Tamriel rebuilt, or create Hammerfell from scratch, And this is awesome.[/QUOTE] I'm convinced it's far from ideal - I'd rather have BethSoft take a few years off and craft it around a more in-depth SP experience, or have modders with all the time in the world to spare work out Morrowind in far more detail than the TESO team could. (And they probably have, given (a) the sweet time they took to release Telvannis, and (b) the fact that they're able to simultaneously tease the quasi-SHoTN portions *and* Amalexia.)
[QUOTE=The Jack;39980378]It looked like complete shit, but now I've seen this... My opinion has changed.[/QUOTE] Actually the combat looks really stale. It looks like Skyrim's combat with a hotbar, which is an improvement in terms of a MMO, but not much as a RPG. You can even see the animations suddenly switching to a casting animation instantly, which indicates hotkey combat. It may be a good MMO, but a horrible elder scrolls game. I wonder if the fanboys will be able to fuel this game longer than that Star Wars game.
I only just realized Skyrim's price has been permanently lowered to $40. How long's it been this way?

[QUOTE=Pretty Obscure;39976306]Oh yeah, well it took me a... tw... uhm, forever. Yeah, I still don't even know that you can sprint. Top that.[/QUOTE] It's perfectly excusable since the default sprint key is alt, a binding which is in pretty much no other game. I'm not sure if it's in any of the tutorial prompts, but the only reason I knew about it was because it was shown off in the E3 videos so I hunted around the keyboard until I found it.

I'm going from a Q9550 to an i5 3570K that I'm probably going to overclock, I'm guessing that since skyrim (and oblivion) is such a script heavy game with so much going on I'd get a lot more performance?

Well, playing as a Dunmer if I buy that game.
The devs for TESO are actually listening to some of the feedback they get it appears. I'm not 100% set on it being a great game, but its certainly shaping up more and more. I just want to see some first person gameplay now.
I got good news. Remember a few days ago, I was complaining that Skyrim was broken thanks to the 1.9 patch? You probably don't, but I found out, it wasn't Skyrim that was broken, it was all my current saves! New saves are entirely fixed, though. It's kinda okay that only all my current saves were broken, considering that my only REAL characters were a Dunmer Spellsword who is a reverent worshipper of Azura, Boethiah, and Mephala, and a Nord Paladin who is the descendant of Tiber Septim due to my likely very faulty logic. Might do a Redguard Pirate Captain who uses light-armor and dual-wields, and this has nothing to do with the Deathbrand armor which satisfies those exact needs...
Since the Emperor has to have Dragonblood to rule, and Dragonblood is only passed down in the Royal Family, doesn't that mean that the player character in Skyrim is the rightful heir to the throne?
[QUOTE=Medevilae;39984943] And Orsimer: [t]http://i47.tinypic.com/2r20ugz.jpg[/t] [/QUOTE] Thank [I]fuck[/I] they changed it from [IMG]http://images.wikia.com/elderscrolls/pl/images/3/30/TESOMaleOrc.png[/IMG] If anything you have to hand it to them, it looks like they're cleaning up some of the really shitty bits and listening to complaints to some degree.
