Guest Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 The latest offering from the Elder Scrolls franchise was released on PS4 & XB1 yesterday - Elder Scrolls Online, or ESO for short. The PC version has been out for a long time so it will be interesting to see what the take up is for the console versions. An introductory gameplay video for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsjKxbR_yUY Who here purchased the game - and on which platform? If you're looking for questing partners, guild members or just someone to chat to about the game, post here and we'll sort you out I'm on XB1, gamertag AzzyMahmood - look me up on the European server.

thejazz97 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 So... I may be asking a dumb question here... but can ESO be played offline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Not to my knowledge - your only option from the homescreen is to choose your region, which launches you into the MMO world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Skyrim, but I haven't had live in almost or over a year, so it may be wise for me not to get this rn. Thanks tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm just waiting for Elder Scrolls VI. Single-player is where they are king and where they should stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 You'll be waiting a long time, Fallout 4 in 2017 is their focus. So 2018 at the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 You'll be waiting a long time, Fallout 4 in 2017 is their focus. So 2018 at the earliest. Fallout 4 is rumoured to have a 2015 release. We will probably here about PS5 and Xbox whatever by then (or strong rumours) since they're both pretty underpowered. I don't see them lasting more than 5 years.

I'm banking on a 2016 release at latest for Fallout 4 and hoping the 2015 rumours are true. I'd bet their already working on ES VI. I'm dreaming for a 2016 release of it, but 2017 is more realistic.

Guest Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I've already come across a quest too advanced for my lowly level (3) - I need a questing pal or three to take out some ruddy assassins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalky Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Having logged approx. 75 real-time years on Skyrim, I can't believe they ruined it by making ESO an MMO. I genuinely HATE people online after years and years of listening to squeaker E-thugs spout off since the original Halo. I flat out refuse to play MMO games. I'm sure I'll last about 2-3 weeks before caving in and buying it. I'll let you know what I think then... I can't wait for Fallout 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there no way to automatically pair up like in Destiny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Haven't heard good things about ESO. I agree ES is one of the few offline games i enjoy. Maybe I'll try it but i am sick of playing on pc now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Quite the vibrant community online so far, spent 3 hours playing last night and came across close to a thousand players I reckon, all running about on quests and chatting. It has the feel of Skyrim but yet feels completely different. Combat is very good as well, much more efficient than Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BI3KSA- Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I played the beta when it was first coming out on PC and wasn't impressed. I havent heard good things since. Not sure why anyone would play an MMO of that style instead of WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I played the PC beta too, and didn't enjoy it. However so far the console setup has worked well. It helps that it's a polished game not a mostly-broken mess like the PC beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumquats Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I've been playing the Elder Scrolls series since Morrowind so this is great. My only complaint is that when I play I take my time and craft items and don't rush through the story. My guild / friends are all mad at me because I don't play the quests with them. I'm always saying I have to dump my inventory because it's full. I also have 4 characters, 2 of them are mules for items for skills I haven't upgraded yet. My first character is level 40 in Provisioning and I sank skill points into it so I make 4 of every item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Canucky Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I enjoyed ESO on my PC. If youre looking for a skyrim experience, this isnt it. Its an MMO first and an ES game second. If you can hack that, then youll enjoy the game. I think it has cool advancement trees and professions, it looks good and most of the quests are at least mildly amusing. So yeah, I personally like it. Its not like blow your mind great or anything, but it can eat a few hours no problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ambien Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Is Fargoth in ESO? I'd play just to kill him over and over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumquats Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Is Fargoth in ESO? I'd play just to kill him over and over and over. Haven't come across him yet but I ran into M'aiq the Liar randomly. One of my buddies said he is part of a questline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I figured M'aiq would be there. Honestly, I have like zero interest in ESO, just waiting for the single player follow-up to Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
