I always liked playing a sexy cat girl (Is it only me who finds cat girls sexy?)


www.elderscrollsonline.com...

To be honest In hate the cats of the elder scrolls. I prefer wood elves.

Most games, I usually play a human, but I'm fond of reptillians, so in TES I usually play an Argonian, have since playing Daggerfall way back in the 90s

I may play humans; but, it appears we all have one thing in common ... stealth.

Lizards, cats, wood elves ... stealth.

Looks like it's going to be a rather shady group eh?

Robbing the Central Bank of Cyrodil today, who is in?

Oh, not me says the feline ... have my nails to do.
Oh, not me says the lizard ... my tail always gets caught in the spinning door.
Oh, not me says the wood elf ... there's a new prisoner coming in on the next ship and my ring is missing.
Oh, not me says the human ... I have armor to forge.

When I first heard about TESO I got really excited, mainly by the fact that we were promised a full tamriel map (meaning including provinces like High Rock and Summerset Is. which were not included in the previous "2nd. Gen" TES games, or their expansions. They were present, although vaguely on earlier installments)

On the other hand I'm weary of MMO versions of Singleplayer franchises... But that's just a subjective feeling.

And the thing I'm really not sure I lke (and by that I mean I don't) is the pseudo-lore they are making up...
Even if it's never considered canon, it would certainly break MY inmersion. (Again, subjective)
Fact is, the thing I like the most about TES games is the feeling of exploration and discovery of a palpable world with it's own history, ideologies, cultures, etc... Even if I'm not a "lore-buff" it is a quite important part of my gameplay.
So I always expect certain consistency in the lore, which excepting certain specific retcons (Like the White Tower raising above a big fat lush JUNGL.. err.. medieval european forest...), was always respected.

I don't know if I'll be playing it, it depends on the pricing it gets, I have not a big income of green-ore this days...
But I will definitely keep an eye on it. And another on my old stained copy of "The Lusty Argonian Maid"...

I have a feeling this game is going to be a HUGE failure. I use to love Bethesda games until after all of the BS they've put PS3 users through for the last couple of years. At this point I really hope ESO is a failure that brings down Zenimax and the other studios under their umbrella, a company that treats their customers the way Bethesda does, really doesn't deserve to be in business anymore.

IDK mmos just suck these days.

edit on 27-12-2012 by Komonazmuk because: (no reason given)

I think they know that and are trying to make a difference.

It looks good but I'm not a mmo person, only because pay to play and PC issues.

Gotta laugh, it's Bethesdas fault that the PS3 isn't suited to their games.
You hope they fail because Sony made a console too complex for gaming.

My laptop won't even handle Minecraft or Runescape at the best of times, let alone a texture heavy, graphics powerhouse like TES:O
I'll just quietly sit and play through old Elder Scrolls games on my own... don't mind me guys... seriously guys...

Wouldn't really call teso a graphics power house lol :p

It's 2013 mate, nowadays you can get really cheap gaming computers (if you build'em yourself).

Compared to Runescape, it is.
I'm no good with computers, I know how to make them do pretty much the things I want, building or getting a new system is totally out of the question

if i do play this game i will be a nord, always been a nord since morrowind.
i shall travel the seas and explore the entire world, if we can sail that is.
