On housing, I'll repeat: If they'd just copied the standard Elder Scrolls method of housing and just have static houses you can buy and upgrade, there's no reason it would be too difficult. They're just tiny instances as it is now in Skyrim for pitty's sake. |

^Now i'm regretting not playing TERA...
Anyway, back to TES online. Since all the skills are hotbar with cooldown. I wonder if we will have classes like Archer, Warriors, Mage and the like... Wonder what is the effect of Archer's "kneeshot" skill then Edit: on TERA, i take it back, my computer probably can't handle that level of graphics. Saw a screenshot of someone picking low resolution and it looks really average

But the bad optimizing throws that excuse into the ground. I just got my gameinformer and the graphics do look cartoony, but they arent trash imo. what REALLY worries me is the gameplay.

I didn't really have high hopes for this game but still, this is kinda disappointing.

The combat system is what bugs me the most. All recent MMO's have stumbled on the WoW style combat system which, frankly, most people have just grown tired off. Yet what the gameinformer article wrote and the screenshots showed was exactly that.
Now Ive been the first to say that the Elder Scrolls isn't known for it's amazing combat system, but to switch that out for a system most players really want to get rid of? The main complaint about SWTOR was "love the story, hate the combat" and it seems to be what most people are quitting for. If the Elder Scrolls follows the path of copy/pasting the WoW mechanics... then I'm sorry, but history has shown MMO's fail on that regard 90% of the time. I wish they'd look at TERA instead. That game seems to be the exact opposite of most MMO complaints. People hate the quests, but love the combat. If Elder Scrolls Online just copied the TERA system and introduced a good Elder Scrolls story in it... that'd be an MMO worth playing. As it stands though? WoW clone 55. Keeping an eye on it to see if things change, but not even remotely optimistic. |

Given that the disastrous Skyrim interface was also a console style interface, your fears are hardly without reason.
If they want to make an interface where we look at the world more than the interface, the last thing they should do is use generic MMO combat. It's that type of system, with its healtbars and cooldowns and static combat, that encourages staring at your UI for maximum effect. After all, the mob isn't doing anything you have to watch out for, is it? Speaking of which: http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/05/25/ho...crolls-online/ Limited slots, first few weapon skills, then class skills and an ulti? Looks like they've been taking notes from Arenanet on how to fit Skyrim's system in the MMO system. Well, that certainly simplifies combat... but if it's just limited the old tab targeting system as previously suggested that changes little. Does this mean they shifted gears to a more active combat system like GW2 or, dare I hope, TERA? Unsure and questionable. Still, a small glimmer of hope has appeared on the horizon. Let's see how long it last. |

I wonder how much of the TES gameplay will be incorporated and work in an MMO setting. I'm going to wait it out because I'm a TES fan but I have my doubts that this can be pulled off. We all saw what happened when Bioware made SWTOR with the intention of it being a Mass Effect like MMO.
