Top 5 Reasons to Play the Elder Scrolls Online

The Elder Scrolls Online was our winner for Most Anticipated MMO of 2013, and for good reason. Over the past decade or so, the Elder Scrolls series of single-player games has set the gold standard for what RPGs can be and what they can do. And while complexity has given ground to accessibility over the past few titles, outstanding quality has always been paramount. It stands to reason, then, that the MMO iteration of this acclaimed series should be just as outstanding.

Here, then, are the five things we are most looking forward to experiencing when The Elder Scrolls Online launches later this year.

1. The Epic Personal Story

Top 5 Reasons to Play The Elder Scrolls Online - Epic Personal StoryIt should be safe to assume that all characters, regardless of race, class or faction, will start out as prisoners and gradually rise to soaring heights of power, fame and glory over the course of a long epic tale. That has been the case of every Elder Scrolls game since the beginning - start with a prison break (or release), scavenge like a rat in the city streets and the wilderness, fumble your way into deep conspiracies, scrabble your way to the top of your profession, ladder-climb through the ranks of the guilds, rub elbows with royalty, battle a Daedric god or three and eventually come to be recognized as a great champion of Tamriel. Thus far, that journey has never disappointed.

Zenimax Online hasn't released any real details about the personal story quests yet, but the whole "former convict makes good" story is central to the franchise. What we do know is that the player starts out as a victim of Daedric Prince Molag Bal, who stole the character's soul (which we can only assume is somehow illegal and lands the character in prison). And it has been revealed that players will be able to conquer the White Gold Tower in Cyrodiil through PvP, and become Emperor. So we know both ends of the story already. All that remains now is the awesome journey.

Top 5 reasons not to play Elder Scrolls Online:

1) Skyrim
2) Skyrim with mods
3) Oblivion
4) Morrowind
5) Just to show the developers that going MMO is a death knell to their franchise (I am still waiting for Warcraft 4 and KOTOR 3 btw).

ESO is not developed by Bethesda Game Studios, who will continue working on their singleplayer games (Fallout and TES), so don't worry.

Elder Scrolls Online: ZeniMax Online Studios
Elder Scrolls Series: Bethesda Game Studios
World of Warcraft: Blizzard Entertainment
Warcraft Series: Blizzard Entertainment
KOTOR: BioWare
SWTOR: BioWare

The only way ESO is gonna be worth a damn is if some/most of the devs behind TES works on it, if not it'll be a WoW/GW2 hybrid with a TES skin.

Have you seen the videos / read about the game? It is already quite certain that it will not be a WoW/GW2 hybrid.

BGS and ZOS do communicate, and BGS do help ZOS with development, but BGS are not spending a lot of time on it. They are focused on their own games. ZOS have access to all the lore from TES without anyone from BGS having to tell them anything, as it is all written down.

Having people who are used to developing singleplayer games making a MMO doesn't really make it worth any more than if people who are used to developing multiplayer games are working on it.

if some/most of the devs behind TES works on it, if not it'll be a WoW/GW2 hybrid with a TES skin

In addition to the above comments regarding the feasibility of TES6, I have to address your point that the first five games are reason enough to avoid ESO. We've already played those games to death, and they have no social element. If you prefer single-player games, that's fine. Just quit whining about other peoples' interests.

Awareness creation alone is insufficient. Questioning should ascertain the nature of consumer comments

It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.

My personal top 3:
1. Not having to create a new character for every TES game
2. Finally finding an MMO in a world I'm actually bothered about
3. TES with friends! What else needs saying? lol

large info! I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I considered I would depart my first comment. I don’t understand what to state except that I have.
