Felicitates Wrote:I just always pictured ESO's being this huge, expansive, diverse, full-of-depth map. A bit romanticised in my mind I suppose. I just enjoyed the idea of getting entire and utterly lost in the game, it really lends itself to immersion (literally!). Although I'm sure it wouldn't be as generic looking as Daggerfall was due to extreme graphic/worldgen advancements?
It was really just a lack of time and money that caused Daggerfall to look the way it does. Bethesda was too ambitious for its own good and could have really paid the price for that.
Things I've noticed on TESO:
* Many times I'll get stuck in the dialog scene when I try to leave, and I have to logout to start playing again. Anyone know a better way to escape this problem?
* All the characters and NPCs tend to look the same based on their race. I've seen the Breton NPCs and they all have the same features as my character...
* The combat is okay. It's a little weird using skills instead of just swinging a sword the old fashioned way in an Elder Scrolls game.
* I don't really care for the quest system. It's an Elder Scrolls game, so I just want to explore places on my own terms.
* There's at least one bisexual NPC and a gay NPC on the Daggerfall Covenant side. Haven't seen any lesbians yet.
Overall I'd say a lot of things need to be fixed and improved upon before the game is finalized (which is true for any Beta) but exploring all of Tamriel again is just way too enticing for me. I'll stay fairly optimistic for now.
