Elder Scrolls Online...My thoughts
11 years ago
I'm enjoying it so far. It's not the best game in the world but for an MMO, the graphics and quests are done very well. I don't get the same "grind sheep for wool" feeling that comes with WoW quests. Each quest is a story unto itself and usually exists within a chain of many. This makes me feel like it requires me to really dig in of I want that big reward and often it is a big reward.
The dungeons look amazing. Much like skyrim. Especially if your machine will handle the high end graphics. The mobs actually move. Way more than 99% of other MMOs where they just stand in place. The combat is fair and dodging/blocking is critical. Also, there are open open dundeons and instance dungeons. The latter is closed to just your group and have some really cool monsters.
As for combat and abilities. For an MMO they are awesome. I have a dragonknight (the fighter class) and have made home to be a heavy armor wearing battle mage. And though I'm not a min maxer I can dish out amazing amounts of damage with my spells and never need to swing a weapon. The abilities look awesome as well. My cat breathes fire and it looks like fire and even sets the enemies on fire rather than other MMOs that just show damage ticking away.
Is it Skyrim? No. But then no MMO ever will be. But it's a good game and offers much more of the console action/RPG feel than any other MMO.
So far I enjoy it and give it an 8 out of 10.
