The Elder Scrolls Megathread XV: A Song of Ice and Draugr - Games

On a scale of bad to worse, how bad is it?

[QUOTE=minilandstan;42953249]On a scale of bad to worse, how bad is it?[/QUOTE] Yes

[QUOTE=minilandstan;42953249]On a scale of bad to worse, how bad is it?[/QUOTE] It's amazing! (Don't listen to me...I don't have access)

[QUOTE=minilandstan;42953249]On a scale of bad to worse, how bad is it?[/QUOTE] It's not terrible. It's okay.

[QUOTE=minilandstan;42953249]On a scale of bad to worse, how bad is it?[/QUOTE] it looks good. the combat is even a decent hybrid of typical TES combat and the standard MMO shit. but holy fuck these quests suck.

[QUOTE=gk99;42953235]Yes. [sp]fortunately, I was getting bored of the entire game[/sp][/QUOTE] It's terrible My biggest complaint is there needs to be more feedback. With everything. I was at half health before I realized I was even being attacked because the indicators for it just might as well be invisible. So you better use third person. And pay attention to the enemy's health bar otherwise you won't know if you hit them or not. First person camera feels like spectator mode floating over the ground with no headbob or anything. Nameplates don't work so good luck finding someone. Partymembers have a single arrow over them which is hard to see as it is, and no other marker at all, not even on your compass at the top. Sidequests are impossible to see at first glance because again the small icon for it is 90% opaque. Movement and quests feel like Morrowind with the graphics lying somewhere between Oblivion and Skyrim. The combat feels like Morrowind's but acts like Oblivion's. You [b]will[/b] look at the compass and health bar below it more than the actual game Once the full thing comes out it'll need a trial for me to try before I fork out money for it, to see how its improved from now. If it doesn't then Eugh

boring.

This reminds me of Lord of the rings mmo.

I really wonder how the PVP is, but to even see that requires making your way down to Cyrodiil.

[QUOTE=Katatonic717;42952940]What? Where the hell did that come from? I've never said anything bad about ESO ever. I feel left out because like all of my friends are playing ESO right now. This is going to be the most lonely weekend ever. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o9gf_soFBM[/media][/QUOTE] I didn't say you specifically. This thread generally hates on ESO, so if you want to stay a part of the group and not feel left out, just talk about how it massacres the lore.

if anyone gets bored with their beta invite and wants to kick it my way feel free <3

I was hoping this game would require you to pay for it only once like guild wars, but I just found out that it will be 15 bucks a month to play. Also I'm probably pretty late to that realization.

[QUOTE=Altimor;42952523] EDIT: FYI screenshots are watermarked with your account name[/QUOTE] Damn, If only there were computer programs that could be used to selectively alter the color of pixels Alas we do not live in such a golden age

[QUOTE=Tureis;42953141]I really just don't like the basis of it, and the factions look like they were made by someone who really never looked that much into the lore, or had an obsession of geographical connections.[/QUOTE] this is one of my biggest problems with it, terrible gameplay aside. nords allying with dark elves? they're taking the piss on that one.

so far the consensus seems that ESO beta is no good. which makes me sad.

[QUOTE=Javascript;42953949]so far the consensus seems that ESO beta is no good. which makes me sad.[/QUOTE] Doesnt have the feeling or heart yet.

[QUOTE=mark6789;42953964]Doesnt have the feeling or heart yet.[/QUOTE] Or the guild wars payment model that it would need in order to be a game TES fans will actually buy

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;42953977]Or the guild wars payment model that it would need in order to be a game TES fans will actually buy[/QUOTE] I thought that was to obvious :v:

thinkin i'm the only one who doesn't want to get in on the beta

[QUOTE=DChapsfield;42954031]thinkin i'm the only one who doesn't want to get in on the beta[/QUOTE] Nor i it's ok

I hate to ask, but I'm caving, anybody have a ESO beta key they don't want?

[QUOTE=Katatonic717;42954096]I hate to ask, but I'm caving, anybody have a ESO beta key they don't want?[/QUOTE] i asked FIRST

[QUOTE=Javascript;42954126]i asked FIRST[/QUOTE] This is true. Man who may-or-may-not-have-a-free-key, give it to this guy.

If it's as shit as I've been lead to belief, I will bequeath my key unto thee, sire.

I've played ESO for 40 minutes and I already don't want to play it ever again EDIT: furthermore i would not put my dick into those flame atronachs

Yeah, TESO is pretty shit

what's terrible about it?

[QUOTE=Javascript;42954264]what's terrible about it?[/QUOTE] NDA for not letting them tell you for starters.

[QUOTE=Javascript;42954264]what's terrible about it?[/QUOTE] The field of view is far too low, the animations look terrible and unnatural, the quests are about as engaging and believable as the ones in WoW. NDA can go fuck itself EDIT: And now that I'm trying to make the FoV changer I can't even log in. Or maybe someone at Zenimax sensed a disturbance in the NDA force and banned me.

let me guess, go to x and kill y to get z?
