    I do like the fact that they are setting it well out of the way of the single player games. But I cant for the life of me see the point? its a massive gamble for them seeing that the MMORG is over saturated at moment.

    There are some nice ideas in that list, it's a shame though that since this was written and the new information they have released about the game, nearly none of them are going to be in the game. The thing I'm the most disappointed about is that the combat is going to be point and click by using a hotbar to activate them, you know like WOW. It's also going to look like Rift with some TOR thrown in. No personal housing no marriage or romance and more than likely no Dragons. A large part of the game is not going to be in the release as they are keeping them for further releases for example winterhold and the mage's college will be missing at release. It will also take roughly 120 hours to max out your character, so it's quite a short game leading up to the end content, maybe a week or two of gameplay. It will all be voiced acted. So it is going to be just a normal run of the mill MMO that will bring absolutely nothing new to the drawing board that has not been done before. I'm finding this more than a little bit disappointing, and with what I've been reading on other sites, I'm not the only one.

    What I want from Elder Scrolls Online: for it to be cancelled.

  • PevMaster - May 4, 2012 1:09 p.m.

    Fuck off. Nobody cares about you're whining.

  • lazer59882 - May 4, 2012 8:46 p.m.

    That'd be "your" not "you're". Fucking idiot.

    "it should be on consoles too" NOPE. Unless the PS4 / Xbox Next have keyboards bundled, keep that shit away from consoles...on second thought...keep it away anyways. The PC barrier is the filter for the lower 50% of people in the world, ie: the most stupid/immature/lazy of the bunch. I'd rather not have the 12 year old redneck kid alternating between "YOURE A STUPID N***R" and "I'm going to sing my rendition of Lady Gaga" roaming the same lands as me. What I'd give for ESRB ratings to actually be enforced. /sigh

    Why the fuck would you want that?

  • robotdickens - May 5, 2012 2:42 p.m.

    I know you said all the races, but I want ALL the races, like playing as Daedra, cause that would be kick ass. They could make it like the Old Republic where you have different back stories for each race too. Also don't make me pay for it. The only reason I don't play many MMO's is because of that stupid Pay-to-Play shit.

  • robotdickens - May 5, 2012 2:48 p.m.

    1. The PS3 already has the option of using a keyboard and the Xbox kinda implemented it so its not going to be that hard to do it again/better. 2. PC gamers are better than console gamers? Come on not with this shit again. There is little difference between the two except that PC gamers are less hardcore than consoles because they are stupid enough to having to keep upgrading their system, spending well over a thousand dollars for a game I can play for about 400. PC gamers just like to feel all high and mighty because they forgot that there is no such thing as a "top of the line" PC, because as soon as you said that, another, better PC was just made.

    Actually SWOTOR is doing pretty well. In a few months, they may overlap WoW's popularity. Voice acting is awesome. I don't have the time or patience to read little texts all the time.

  • robotdickens - May 5, 2012 2:53 p.m.

    Who really cares? I would love for every race including extinct ones to be in there. Make up some stupid backstory about how they extracted Snow Elf and Dwemer DNA or set it even further back. Personally, I would like to know the full story on how they disappeared and this game may do that or show it.

    Expansion Pack: Oblivion

  • SpiritTemple - May 6, 2012 2:36 a.m.

    Yes.

  • SpiritTemple - May 6, 2012 2:40 a.m.

    I'm shocked that you said "It should come to consoles too" and yet didn't mention the Wii U, which many, including gamesradar, are saying seems prefect for MMO's. Anyway, I reckon TES:O could work, I'll be getting it on day 1.

  • SpiritTemple - May 6, 2012 2:41 a.m.

    Exactly what I was going to say.

  • euro2012 - May 6, 2012 4:21 a.m.

    What the hell is this !! I am shocked

  • winner2 - May 6, 2012 5:42 a.m.

    Considering I never expected to see an online version of Elder Scrolls at all, this is kind of a shock. I don't think I'll get it regardless, however. MMOs used to be a long term time sucker for me.

  • ParagonT - May 6, 2012 8:57 a.m.

    Somewhat agreed, especially the beginning of two, but trying to reason with some people is just futile. It just makes things worse.

  • ParagonT - May 6, 2012 9:08 a.m.

    Although I hate the word that I'm about to use, it's actually a good fit to what I wish to get across. Please quit feeling entitled to a game because your preferred system is mainly keyboard based. People just keep forgetting that any console is literally a computer, the only difference is the cost and ability to upgrade. People are damn fools if they think they are somehow better because they have a different computer. It's pretty unfathomable how immature people are about this subject. What I don't understand is that some gamers who play mainly on PC do not bicker about themselves of who's rig is better, because that's what the whole console vs PC argument is about. Ridiculous.

  • ParagonT - May 6, 2012 9:11 a.m.

    Why exactly should they keep this away from consoles when there is money to be made?
