TESO - Discussion & Recruitment

[Kal]

I never played any of the Elder Scrolls series prior to Skyrim, but I fell in love with it there. I am probably looking forward to ESO above any other game release this year. The cinematic trailer left me drooling

, and I have already signed up for beta.

What are you looking forward to the most with this game? How do you see yourself playing mostly? (PvP, Casual, Shenanigans, etc...)


I am actually considering creating my own guild, aligned with the Aldmeri Dominion. I hate the Thalmor, but I do like playing as a Bosmer, so whattayado right?


Anyway, share your thoughts here. I would also welcome anyone who would like to assist me with the creation of a guild (website, etc..). I can throw a pretty decent (but not incredibly graphic enhanced) website together relatively quickly, but could definitely use some graphic design talent and some moderators for the forums and such.

I can't say I'm looking forward to it much because of the monthly subscription thing. With the money I would be pushing out for the game I could spend on better things actually needed, like food, gas, rent, and even to people who are starving. But then again, I will definitely give it a try because it looks/sounds very fun. If it turns out to be a great, deserving game, then a subscription will definitely be considered.

And I like being Bosmer, too, so when I test it out I'm going to be either a Bosmer or a Nord, or maybe a Khajiit. However, some things I look forward to is exploring the world of Tamriel...online, with others. Oh, and new spells, armour/weapons and places to visit. It will be a truly enjoyable experience, but sadly I don't know enough about the game to give bigger details on.

 

[Kal]

Fair enough. I'm also somewhat concerned about a possible monthly charge. There is a lot of debate around it, and no solid information. I have to say though, everything that I have read leads me to believe that they won't do one, or it will be minimal. I agree that it better be amazing if they want a monthly commitment. Especially if I'm building a website and guild community for it.

Thanks for the response!

I like going through dungeons so that's probably what I will be doing. Perhaps if there are like-minded people out there they are free to join.

 

[Kal]

One of the guys that will be in the guild is a PvE player. He plans on focusing on dungeon raiding and such as well. I think that will be fun.

 

[Adventurer]

Will TES allow first person view?

Yes, it is possible but they are going to focus op 3rd person.

 

[Kal]

According to G4 last May, ESO will be in third person. I have heard that developers are saying in interviews that it will be switchable from 1st to 3rd, but have not seen these interviews to confirm that.

 

[Kal]

Found this video from November. All of the gameplay in this video is third person, but that doesn't mean that they're not working on incorporating first-person.

 

[Ilrita]

It would be nice if we could switch between, but that doesn't seem like it would work well on an online game.

 

[Kal]

I don't see why not. It seems to work fine in all of the FPS's.

 

[Gunnbjorn]

They have already announced that you can play in both third and first person.

 

[Kal]

Gunnbjorn, do you have a link? I haven't been able to find any confirmation anywhere.

Also, if anyone is interested in joining my guild and/or being a part of the effort for the new community, let me know. I have a Facebook group created for planning and brainstorming.

I read another article on it but can't find it. Here's another one.

There is first person, but it's the kind in which you cannot see your weapons.

 

[Adventurer]

Well its still better than nothing. 3rd person would be a deal breaker for me. I played LOTRO in the same without hands 1st person.

 

[Kal]

I would honestly be ok with third-person if it held true to the video i posted before.

I'm a LOTRO player myself

3rd person has always been my style though, I play Skyrim in 3rd.

 

[Adventurer]

Tastes change they are a matter of personal preference.

My LOTRO char is on Snowbourn name Luwiin and he is a Loremaster. I do not play too much lately. If I get selected for beta I'll most likely switch to TESO for a good while. If not, I shall see...

My players are on Silverlode,

Syntho - 75 Burglar
Synrond - 47 Lore Master
Arillious - 43 Warden
Gunnbjorn - 33 Champion

I'm done with the game, TESO is going to replace it.

 

[Adventurer]

I have other lower level toons Luwiin is on levelcap. I started with a hunter as my all time favorite is the sneaking archer, but LOTRO does not implement that type of character well. So I switched to loremaster. If I ever get serious with LOTRO again my next one will be a Burglar - I see you have experience with that .

Let us not hijack this thread further .

I am content that TESO will have some kind of 1st person at least.
