Just me, or does Bethesda make horrible character models?  The first mod i always add is a face / texture mod.  Personally I think (mainly hoping) this is all just a big marketing ploy since everything is from a "leaked source".  Its almost as if the articals that were written by the devs are poking fun at the modern MMO's. 

The moment I read about this game I was not very happy.

They got an EXCELLENT thing going on with the single player games, why ruin the name (both game and developer)  with an mmorpg. It could never live up to the standards of the single player games.

But this is even worse then I imagined, this has nothing to do with elder Scrolls.

Torn :( I don't think the graphics are bad. But for TES, it's a step backwards. I don't mind the style or the colors, I actually think those armors look nice, and the environments are lush without going overboard. My issue is anatomically, those models look like something from SWTOR; they have that same lanky clone-wars look. Is that like, all the Hero Engine is capable of creating? I don't understand why that would be a stylistic choice for Xenimax, and considering the other Hero Games have the same sort of models, I'm beginning to think it's an engine thing.

Really don't like that ;\ I think that's the source of the cartoony, for me. I'm not getting it from the palette choices or armor, just the anatomy. It'd be nice if they fixed that.

My vision is just fine. See if you can see the diffrence

This is ESO:

The mountains in one of the pics look just like the impassable SWTOR mountains that are there to be seen but not climbed. I'm not happy with that.

 

I hope there are Argonians and Khajiit in this game, too. I hope all the races are available. 

 

I just feel like this is DAOC 2 (maybe) rather than TES.

Yes, both of those races are in, but in different factions.

Just read this is not made by Bethesda themselves. GOOD. Hope more "distance" between this and the single player games is created and this will be viewed as nothing more then a spin-off.

Leaving the Elders Scrolls and Bethesda name relatively intact.

...and what MMO pray tell is capable of going with single player game graphics?  Even the highest grade graphical MMO doesn't even come close at present, because it's just not feasible.

Seeing as Skyrim is running on six year old consoles I don't see where the problem lies.

While true, I could put images of TESO alongside TERA/Conan/TSW/ArchAge/etc., if you'd like. I think the point has been made, though.

Oh god, that makes me hurt inside.   I'm sick of these plasticine games.  What a completely moronic move, how can anyone argue that this is a good direction for the franchise...I'm mean... look at the difference! >:(

Also, the Screen Shots look like a dragon age expansion.

really really disappointed that this is turning out to be another clone'esqe re-rendering of what's already come before. You dont need hi poly counts to make a good TES online game but you do need to be TES.

Hot bars, whats next? Go kill X mobs for some pos reward?

The point being you don't like the art style, very subjective.

Age of conan graphics comes damn close to it, and it is more of the same atmosphere vs the cartoony hero engines graphics.

Kind of amusing reading all these QQ post from arm-chair developers.  That have never worked on a game let alone a MMO.  Yet seem to think just because they played a game, they know oh so much about how one should operate. I mean if you think you can do better.  By all means I invite you to go round-up some investors, and negoiate to get a license on the IP.  If people around here put as much effort into making a game as they do complaining about them.  Who knows you might actually make something just above "Bad".

Oh and FYI: I have no interest in ESO, nor any interest in the graphics or engine.  Me, personally I would have rather seen a Co-Op mode for Skyrim.

Take issue with the developers of all MMOs then.  Maybe they'll figure out a tech to fix that issue just for you.  What I do know is that while I can easily run Skyrim on my machine with no issues, it can't also be done in an MMO without crippling my machine and that's with lower polygon counts and whole schlameal of corner cutting that most MMOs make.  Get more than 10 to 20 people in an area in Age of Conan and I would experience massive screen stutter.  Get 50 people together for a keep raid in WAR which has a very reasonably low tech engine and once again, slow mo city.

Well , they could rename it to "Kingdom of amalur: Online" and then eveything wold make sense and the "OMAGAWD this game gonna rule!!HTEBIGONEONEONE!!!!ELVEN11111"

:(

That was neither the point I was making nor the one you were trying to argue. Stop it. You stated an online game can't even come close to graphics of single player games. I pointed out ones that do so, quite well. Are they "Crysis" level? No. But they're far and away better than this and are also closer to the standards set by the TES series. Age of Conan and TERA both on max settings are quite lovely. So, the excuse you tried to make for TESO isn't really valid anymore.

Also, I stated a few posts prior that I actually like the overall style of TESO. I have issues with the anatomy, but that could be fixed, and I'm starting to believe that's an engine issue considering this being a similar problem with other games using the same engine.

The graffic isnt BAD the problem is that will not follow the same kind of graffics of the other games of TES series wich is kinda of a dissappointment

Invalid argument is invalid, and has been proven so far too many times for me to bother pointing it out to you. Peruse the forums, I'm sure it won't be hard to figure out why "You can't do 'x' therefore 'x' is just fine" is only ever good for a laugh.
