For thos who do Know me Cant Say Much about it But i like it ( aka ESO ) (me aka Lazer and a fell other DS members are playing it, look for me this weekend.
Yeah I would say that fit the bill for most people's expectations.
While it won't be Skyrim Online, it may in fact end up being a good game though. They certainly appear to be taking feedback and suggestions on the matter seriously. At first they proposed to have the game just in third person, but due to outcry they did implement a first person perspective option, so there is at least some measure of effort to put out a product that people would want.
I wouldn't say it's god awful, it's just lackluster atm.
The big issue I think most agree with is the animations. It seems like the motions are missing too many cycles, so sword swings appear warpy, there isn't enough fluidity between motions etc. and there really isn't too much a feel to weight of combat.
Particle effects aren't spectacular as one might hope, so spells and such look "meh".
The landscape environments and interfaces are very nice, and reminiscent of Elder Scrolls, but that's about as related as it gets in its' present form.
And on those accounts, you just can't escape the feeling that it doesn't come off as you would expect out of an Elder Scrolls Online game. Which to be fair, really isn't possible because if every little detail could be permanently altered by each user's input, then by the time you get to log in, every little crate would be picked clean, and all NPCs would be walking around naked on account of having been robbed by players etc.
Most of that could easily be addressed though, and if they do, it could come out a pretty nice game. It just wont be an 'Elder Scrolls' online experience.
Also, I needed to make sure you were apprised of my emotions toward the outcome of the Ohio State/Michigan State game, and I was more than certain you wouldn't visit the other thread
Tough loss, and the team berating is all in good spirits.
