hated the game. and dual-boxing is a no-go feels like a ps3/xbox game. lots of loading screens as well.

I've never found myself able to put any actual effort into a solo player Elder Scrolls game, but this MMO doesn't look much different. I will say that the mods that people have created for Skyrim are absolutely amazing, but I doubt this MMO will support that.

Some might argue that they don't want to play another MMO that "uses the same old tired mechanics", but honestly that doesn't really bother me and I almost prefer playing games that use a similar model that we've been playing all these years with tanks, healers, and DPS. It would be great if any of the newer MMOs could come out with something unique, but really, as long as environments, gear, and models continue to look better over time with these new games, I'll be okay with the same old system.

Now, everything I hear about this game (TESO) is terrible. What maybe bothers me even more is that they had a gigantic budget (rumored to be 200M) to make a killer game, but the game looks clunky and the environments look... bad. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I really haven't heard anything good about this game at all and it almost seems like they blew most of their budget on the voice acting (http://www.bethblog.com/2014/01/23/the-elder-scrolls-online-voice-cast-revealed/); which is, needless to say, quite a let down.

I played it and it just isn't what I'm looking for. It's not terrible, but it's not engaging either. It's missing something.

I *loved* Skyrim. ESO was just totally underwhelming. Allegedly.

ESO was another MMO in a long line of MMOs that i had high hopes for. I played beta a few times and was just never able to get into it. It looks like most games coming out in the near future are moving to the action based combat, making boxing next to impossible, or at least difficult ( compared to the games we are boxing today ) Solo MMOing might be in my future though.. both EQ Next and Wildstar look good so far..we'll see.....

I have it the same way after I did try it - waiting on WILDSTAR
