Wouldn't touch it on a console... I hope this brings a ray of light to the MMO world, my body is ready for it.

Did you beta test yet? The game screams swtor and will most likely have the same fate.

TES started on Console by Bethesda

TESO dev started 5+ years ago for PC only, by Zenimax. Originally there was no plan for consoles, as they knew Xbox360 and PS3 wouldn't handle TESO.

I beta tested it..and it plays like Elderscrolls games...which is what they are going for. If you don't like that then I suggest you pass.

What part played like an elder scrolls game? I must not have seen those parts in my beta test a couple/few weeks ago. Couldn't pickpocket/steal, couldn't pick up books, linear story, overly easy combat system, stealth was lame, NPC characters were boring, engine was from SWTOR and played like it. Quests were either very linear story line (and not at all engaging), interact with x number of objects then return, kill x number of mobs then return, or kill special mob. Special mobs were extremely easy and since there were ridiculous numbers of people around, you never had to fight them alone. Game was not very buggy for a beta. Invis lasted 2.5 seconds, world looked like sanitized and homogenized crap. I was so bored the entire time I played it. Never once felt like a part of the world, it was just another theme park mmo. Bear in mind, I've sank over 1500 hours into morrowind and oblivion combined (gonna get skyrim one of these days), so I love TES, but at no point did any of this feel like an elder scrolls game to me. The thing that disappointed me the most was the total lack of cool quests like morrowind and oblivion had. Where was the intrigue, the murder, the thievery and double-crossing? Not in that game.

I'll keep playing beta during next round because I really want the game to be good, but in its current state, Zenimax Online would have to pay me at least 20 dollars an hour to play that game.

This. I've invested thousands of hours into TES games, and this plays nothing like one. It's more of a generic MMO with a Elder Scrolls skin on it. Hell they even went out and butchered a lot of the lore. The only thing combat has in common with any TES game is the horrible animation (which we all come to love and respect..)

Also clamouring that "Hey guys, it's just beta its not done aaarrrrgg!" nonsense.. It's under 5 months from release. No huge overhauls are going to be done from now until then. The game you played, outside of some minor bugs/network problems, is going to be pretty much the same game you get on release.

Yet, box sales will happen. The game will sell. Profits will happen. And more poor quality MMOs will be pushed out. This is why we can't have nice things. The game is horrible, yet people keep their eyes closed because 'OMG its Skyrim online guyz!!" without seeing the true game. I'm praying it pulls a FFXIV. Flops completely, people at Zenimax get fired, and the entire game gets a overhaul to become something decent. It's what it needs. However Zenimax isn't SE,.. so yeah there is that.

I'll come back a few months after release with a huge "told you so!", but until then keep dreaming. And keep feeding the bad MMO train.

I've been playing Elder Scrolls game since Daggerfall. I also went through 3 waves of Beta-testing. How does this play like an Elder Scrolls Game? Or just fanboi? Nothing wrong with being a fanboi, but at least I'll know how much value to place on your input.

If you play in first person it's kinda elder scrolly, but I just didn't find the immersion there :| Hard to immerse yourself in a game where 300 dicks are also going for the same quest mobs.
