LOTR movies are the worst thing to happen to fantasy since LOTR.

nerds are unimaginative anal-retentive fucks

fantasy is just nerd power fantasy; they can pretend that in another world they'd be slaying monsters and loving elf tits in a week (unlike in this world where nobody understands how great they are)

TES is a D&D setting with house rules scabbed on. 100% of the lore is them playing tabletop fantasy and writing down what happens

D&D and pooping are cool and fun though.

Also unless you mean like when one of your regular players is all "hey I know a guy who wants to play next week" and you're like "yeah sure man the more the merrier" and then he shows up and he's basically a sphere with a beard attached and the night ends when he sharts himself

TESO needs a mechanic where twenty or thirty players can roll Bosmer and do a wild hunt, permanently turning their characters into deformed monstrosities like in The Thing.

Obviously you shouldn't do both at the same time.

Nothing can kill you. Nothing is risky. Stealth mechanics are retarded. The way you get skills is retarded. NPCs all look like those mods that make everyone "beautiful". I gave the beta a good two hour shot, but it's just another mmo with boring mechanics. It also has the thing that makes world building pointless in MMOs where you and five other "CHOSEN ONES" sit around trying to do the same quest to reinforce the point that nothing you do is meaningful and you are paying money to be a cog in a machine that does nothing. gently caress MMOs forever.

Age of Wushu was a fun MMO because it was broken enough in areas that I went into it looking to play something that tried to be an MMO and ended up different.

in any given elder scrolls game you could be jumping a billion feet across the map, stealing high level poo poo from the kings castle, or murking around with the dark brotherhood within 15 minutes of play. Within 15 minutes of play in TESO you can feel like you finished some arbitrary fetch quests in WoW and played a TESO combat sim at Universal Studios with a poorly calibrated light-sword.
