1,000 years before Skyrim = still no Dwemer, right?

Of course, they would do that to us.
e: Eagle Vale is in Valenwood (Wood Bosmer). Eagle Brook is in High Rock (Aldmer were there, first. Also, Bretons). Eagle Moor is in Morrowind (Dunmer). Aldmeri Dominion?
e2: Aldmer and Altmer aren't the same thing. One descended from the other. Still works, maybe?

I can't wait to see how horrible the crafting system is.

e: Hey, maybe the fact that the topography of all of Tamriel was in the Skyrim game files was supposed to be a hint. Just seeing places like Castle Daggerfall, Scourg Barrow, and Orsinium all prettied up would probably be enough to get me playing; Not to mention the homes of all the races we haven't seen yet.
e2: Looks like the article explains the Lion, Dragon, Eagle thing. Pretty good.

The least they could do is hire some celebrity voice actors and then use the same 4 voices for everyone else.

The four voice actors shall be Oprah Winfrey, Jaleel White, Christian Bale, and Gilbert Gottfried.

e: Holy poo poo. Do they hire the hobos in the back alley to write and narrate their game trailers? The announcement trailers for this game and Skyrim both just made me want to find a kitten and do violent things to it. I'll be over here; breathing into this paper bag. gently caress.

e2: Oh, poo poo, son. The Arena! How cool would it be to force that hot-shot, who says he can take on you and all your friends, to do so in front of a live, jeering, gambling audience.

Not really digging the weapons and armour in those pics. How soon in the game can I have a giant flea...mount...thing?

Haven't heard the term "themepark MMO" before this thread. What does "themepark" refer to?

Ah, I get it, now. Thanks for that.

Political affiliation defined by race is really off-putting. Having the factions there for guilds to affiliate themselves with would lend more to role-playing. Large-scale, GW2-type dynamic events with multiple guilds (and independents) pitted against each other to decide to outcome would be a better execution of this faction junk, no? My two cents. There's probably a game out there that's doing this, already, and sucks. Not brushed up on my MMOs.

Just realized I've never played an MMO with instanced dungeons. Sounds massively non-multiplayer and lame. Also, real-time combat or it's not Elder Scrolls

TES is the perfect IP to use for a Ultima Online or even Asherons Call style sandbox and they are wasting it.

It's true. At least one of those games also had no class system, instanced dungeons, or zones to load. gently caress yeah. Technically, Daggerfall didn't have classes, either. You were always able to make your own custom class, then re-roll it when an ancient lich pops in the hallways of the starter dungeon.

There's a bunch of stuff in there about character actions/quest outcomes affecting NPCs and environs, but nothing about character actions affecting other players; either directly or through the effects on NPCs and environs. I know griefing can suck, but, if there's no competition, no one ever gets in another's way, and everybody always gets what they need, it's a really big, single-player game, no?

Well, Sentinel looks sexy, and, holy poo poo, public dungeons. YES!

Someone mentioned Dark Brotherhood on the last page. I think it would be really rad if DB had you make assassination attempts on other players on a timer, and those players could potentially fight back.

This game is destined to fail because the devs won't accommodate the tits n' dicks modding community.

The new trailers are bullshit. Cinematic trailer is like some FPS trailer where no one talks and everything explodes. Its purpose: To remind you that there are three factions in the game. You already loving told us that Bethesda. We know you have a boner for your Three Alliances.

Then the gameplay trailer with no loving gameplay. Its purpose: to explain the bullshit you just watched in the other trailer, whose budget could have gone into making the game not suck.

Creative Director dude is vague on it, but if his non-answers are any indication, there will be cross-faction teaming/guilds for something or other. Also, he said something about smaller quests that a single guild within a faction can do that contributes to the pot of Alliance Points. So, maybe you get to visit other provinces on surprise sex-n-pillage duty?
e: I bet arena matches will have, like, cross-faction, tagteam PvP. Elbow drop off the top rope! Ohhyeah, DIGGIT!

I wouldn't be surprised. You have to actually roll your stats in Daggerfall, and you hear a "dice spilling from cup" sound every time you hit the ROLL button. I dunno if the language skills are derived from D&D, but they do seem worthless and out of place.

So have they unfucked the beast races yet or are they still taking the lazy-rear end 'helmets are hard' route?

If you go to the ESO page > media > screenshots, there' a shot of Argonians in helmets.
