Which profession makes bags? :)

Have to have the Bags. lol

The "experimenting to find the right combinations" is just a load of worthless marketing mumbo jumbo. No one's gonna use tons of expensive mats to experiment, everyone will be looking up the combinations on fan sites / wikis.

Wonderful news, they are limited crafting as well. How many more things not TES that we KNOW can be done in an MMO are they NOT going to do? Seriously, there is no reason at all for them to dare say that crafting is important to the game, then chose to limit it when there have been MMOs that allowed players to train EVERY crafting skill and max it out.

WHAT THE HELL.

TES = UNLIMITED CRAFTING

THERE ARE MMOS WITH UNLIMITED CRAFTING.

This game...LIMITED CRAFTING.

Perfect...

Well, if no one is going to experiment, how does anyone get the information to post online?... ^^

If you could find out for us how we can extend our inventory storage and bank storage, that would be most awesome!

The information so far regarding crafting sounds pretty good.  I've always been a crafter in whatever MMO I play in, and its good to hear that the items made in TESO will be useful.  Well, not just useful, but worth something to the community.  There are too many games out there where crafters just get shafted and it becomes a fun little hobby rather than something of value where you can make a reasonable income out of it (but still fun to do).

I do have concern about finding the materials to craft with.  You mention you came across a couple of things here and there, which is cool for some items, but for the ingredients you will need large amounts of to make crafting reasonable..?  For instance wool, oak and copper.  How will those types of things be gathered?

Yes you can enhance Raid Drops.

Crafting, Dungeon, and 3rd zone loot are all high up there. But everything can be worked on with crafting.

I think being a Master is the way to go, but you can spec your points however you want. As Paul says in the interview they have not determined the exact number of points you will get to spend ... yet.

I find that hard to believe since they said there will be no raids and that raids have no place in the Elder Scrolls.

I was unable to find the answer to my question, thus here it goes.

Will crafted items especially equipables have a variable value depending on its quality and will that value deterioriate and be possibly repairable to the point of destruction?

In other words will it be similar to what swg had going for its economy where crafters were always in demand instead of having the same armor piece being traded over and over and over again.

Unless weapond and armor are worn off this system is bound to fail like it's predecesors. Make it like SWG where you can have items repaired but never to the state it was in when freshly made and finally break down. THIS makes a reall craft economy. With that make the trials of making weapons gooed for dedicated crafters, ergo let a "good"crafter make unique items no one else had the knowledge of making them.

This is the point. You cant have a flowing economy, if items dont break. Hope they will put this in the game.

/offtopic

is the payment model still unannounced?

Paul’s term for the philosophy of solo gamers who play a MMO as if it were a solo game was brilliant. The idea that solo MMO players like the “comfort of strangers” when they play was an insight into the weird world of non-groupers. :)

I do have a couple concerns!

     A) They crafting system you have described is awesome in the begining while no one knows what the additives are to get the most elite item but over time this knowledge will end up common place on a websight for all to see....  How are you going to ensure the best crafted items are truelly difficult to make so they dont flood the market?

     B) Nothing has been said about item decay/ wear and tear....  I strongly urge as a crafter that you keep us relavent by ensuring gear gets broken and does decay....  So we stay a relavent portion of the community!  Has this been addressed?

This is a great question, it was not covered in the presentation...but PAX is in one day....I'll be asking this one for sure.
