What they have always done is create a framework for us to create an amazing game and sandbox.

I think the above is my real issue with ESO Oblivon skyrim and morrowind were bugged to hell and created using low res reduced detail and generic stuff BUT the tools were there for players and modders to use that framework to create amazing things.

I am not just talking content I am talking updated textures and models, clothing and items, stories and entire world redos.

Even the sex mods created a whole new set of non adult specific mods to do with hires clothings and skins.

Extended script systems and animation, detailed life systems for animals and players, complete vampire and werewolf races with powers and cycles.

All these things before and beside the dlc the company came out with.

My morrowind game has 217 mods about 15gb of data and still works 1904 hours on my latest save game

My oblivion game has 130 mods about 22gb of extra data 1205 hours on my latest playthrough.

My Skyrim game has 76 mods about 17gb of extra data 604 hours on my latest playthrough.

Now I know mmo games are different but if the debacle with SWTOR and remember how hyped we were after seeing that very first CGI?

You could not realisticly ever live upto that hype and then TSO comes out with a heart pumping CGI and could it really ever live up to it, for what is essentially with variance a wow/doac Elderscrolls reskin cross.

Just like Most Elder scrolls players can not expect anything like the true spirit of the single player game in the mmo.

Really I just feel TSO should not have been done and it may be a success but it will never be elder scrolls.

Thank's for sharing, as you know many disagree.

It's certainly an "opinion".

Too bad you don't know the difference between a developer and publisher.

FFS,

Fact check yourself!

And since Bethesda isn't making this game, you should have no issues then, right?

ZeniMax is making it.

Lastly, sure it might look like a WoW/DAoC "reskin cross", but try to withhold judgment until you've played it? I mean, really? What is it with judging things before hand? Stupid thing to do.

And lastly, we certainly haven't had enough of these threads, about how terrible it's going to be <_< Super! So don't play it! xD

I disagree with you but I don't have time to write a short novel as to why I do so. You are set in your opinions and anything anyone says to the contrary isn't going to disuade you from your argument anyway.

Except of course ZeniMax Online Studios is making ESO, not Bethesda Game Studios.

Are we going to get a new one of these crappy threads every day until ESO launches?

If you don't like it, don't play it or follow it. Move on with your life geez.

I take it any "crappy" thread is one that does not agree with you or your like of ESO this is a forum for discussion and opinions both for and against games.

ESO is a mistake in my opinion and the CGI just reaks of the same marketing that went into SWTOR.

Yes it saddens me because ES has always meant something.

So then you are saying the CGI marketing means the game is crap? Interesting, WOW does it for each of their expansions and 9 Million people say it is still a good game...

TES still means something. It is a setting, a world lore, a story, a fantasy, and a lot of other things.

Well your RIGHT!

Bethesda has only ever made AMAZING games.

But again what does this have to do with ESO?  Its being made by a sister company with only the lore of the single player RPG's.

I'd say your useless "Troll" attempt fell flat on it's face. Good job! (You might want to stick with your actual "topic" next time though).

Look, you don't know how the game plays or feels yet. Test it out when it comes, or don't. Figure out what you feel by then. Also, you're not forced to play this game. At all. If you don't like it, then stick to Oblivion and Skyrim, and mod those to your hearts content. Just because there is going to be an Elder Scrolls MMO that you may or may not like, does it really change what the Elder Scrolls is for you? If so, then, well, your loss really.

And the CGI was awesome. :D

The CGI's in Warcraft 3 are also great. They convey parts of the story amazingly IMO.

Oh now we get to the stage of denial where by fanboys or girls rabit or not get offended by being called out as such.

My opinion comes from the facts of past games and source material, most of the early posts in reply to my post were quite rabid in there "OMG he is saying something against ESO send him home BBTL!!! " as if my opinion threatened them, so yes fan boys or fan girls is the term to use, just look at the amount of quick responses my post brought.

 

There is no denial or the standing of this game... it is not released so there can be no judgement as such.

There is NO previous TES game you can compare this to as it is in a completely different genre.

You have no sourse material as you are comparing apples to oranges. Yes they are both fruit but they really don't have anything to do with each other past that.

We are not slaming you for your opinion about the company we just see no relevance to your opinion about the company to the development of this game. They are involved as much as they are contributing art assests and lore. That is where it ends. Zenimax Media group greated Zenimax specifically to build MMOs and so they have people in that company who are specialized in just that.

I am not saying this game will be great or that it will fail. I am just arguing there is NOTHING on which we can cast that judgement yet.

I'll have to disagree. I would say that Bethesda (the company that is not making ESO) isn't great at details of story but quite frankly, mods, with the exception of those that fix the bugs (that bethesda should be fixing) only change the flavor of the game for  the players who want a particular flavor.

There is not one mod out there (again other than bug fixing) that I think is essential.

Armor mods are nice but they range from expanding the armor choices to down right ridiculous.

Tweaks are nice but those are just adding "spice" to the player's taste. The animaition mods don't change the game for the better but for the different. One might like them more but I it's really only an aesthetic choice.

The idea of mods allow players to sway the game in a way that the player might enjoy but the core of each game stands.

Bethesda's offerings are games that allow player choice (to a certain extent) and that's their talent. And since the majority of elder scrolls playes don't have access to mods the point at the moment is sort of moot.
