My draw distance is still poo poo. And it rains constantly in cyrodill where I took those photos so it may just be fog all the time.

So it may not be a lovely game but a game with lovely weather. Neither sounds good

Know where the best pve is in elder scrolls? In pvp.

We ran around in a group, explored the place, found random events and things that did not reward us, or went into dungeons. It felt like a TES game.

We even went into dungeons and killed players from other teams.

That was fun. We entered a dungeon, found a whirlpool, got sucked in, found a boss guy, killed him, and on the way out found someone from another team, killed them, and left.

Then you go back to the pve zones and oh god is it boring.

that sounds like it has potential

which probably means it was a happy accident and will be patched out pronto

speaking of does dnd next still look like a disgusting amalgam of 4thed and 3.5ed in a desperate attempt to court the grognards angry that a version of dnd was somewhat playable

i say still despite not paying enough attention to pen and paper games to remember if this is why people think next looks like a poo poo thing

im curious about this as well, last time i checked wizards had realized 4e was bad but had no idea why so they ended up putting all the negative aspects of 3e into 4e w/o fixing any of 4e's problems so dnd next just looks like the worst of both worlds

Its the elder scrolls online of pen and paper rpgs. Its pretty garbage but its kinda fun if you just want to create a character (takes literally a minute) and go on like a fantasy vietnam suicidal comedy dungeon crawl. Preferably a little drunk. Playing it like the developers intend to is terrible because the developers are terrible.

I took a look at a stream of ESO today and everything seems to be in coloured in different shades of brown.
Uhhhh, well it has to run on the consoles doesn't it? Making everything brown is simply common business sense.

Signed up for the beta. Chose the lizardman. Played 20 minutes, most of which were spent finding amazing loot such as "pile of dirt" and "old dirty bone" with the occasional talk to NPC > skip everything they have to say immediately because goddamn who gives a poo poo. Uninstalled. That was the TESO experience for me.

you'd think, if they're going to doublecharge you for their game, that they'd at least front-load the beginning with really dynamic and exciting intro quests where you armwrestle a dragon or something

nope, its mud from top to bottom


i mean vindictus' tutorial has you climbing a tower and poking at a giant spider, and that was korean grind mmo monster hunter

But you see if you put in the work of trodding through the beginning crap you will get to the better bits of crap. At least that is what every "gamer" says in response to, "ESO is crap".

TESO is poo poo and all but honestly, how is that any different from a beginning play through of Morrowind or Oblivion minus the tutorial dungeon?

Can you go on an indiscriminate murdering/stealing rampage in TESO?

Because if not, there's a significant difference.
