>They brought the Dragons in Sand Cat Niggerland

Fucking damn it.

>>16004993

Yes but they'll be reskinned into giant birds this time.

>>16004993

Keep in mind that they were a very big part of the setting before Skyrim retconned them out so it could reintroduce them as ~a new race of evil scary monsters ahh~. Guess Transcription Error Online is retconning them back in now.

>>16005077

War of the Retcons?

they waste all this money for these Cinematics and then you go in game and you just click things to die

its sad really

morrowind has better gameplay mechanics and that game out decade and half ago

>>16005225

>MISSMISSMISSMISSMISS

>Better than anything

Sadly, games are so bad now, you're right

>>16005216

>that fucking position switch animation

I've discussed why it's shit so many times that I don't feel like going in depth anymore. Just don't play it. The PvP is one big imbalanced mess and the developers are committed to anti fun mechanics. The game isn't really technically PvE or PvP. What the game comes down to is you the player fighting anti fun mechanics like resource management. The game is PvYourmanabar and PvYourstaminabar. I will say that the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves guild quests were the best quests I've ever played in an MMO and were quite fun.

Ebonheart Pact >>> Aldmerchant Dominion >> Racemix Covenant

>>16005233

I know this is bait, but seriously that shit is only an issue if you don't have a clue how to manage stats and fatigue.

>>16005275

I don't think it's bait. Morrowind does kinda play like garbage and the miss chance doesn't really have a place in a game like that. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it way back when, but playing now just feels bad.

>>16005275

Sh-shut up, my bait is just fine

Kill yourself OP.

>>16005286

I'd rather deal full damage with a daedric warhammer despite having a low blunt level, than having to learn a whole new skill just to use that weapon's full potential.

And don't even get me started with the fucking oblivion fatigue-based damage and the "blocking" that's actually just absorbing part of the damage.

Missing stops being a problem at lvl 20 of said weapon type anyways.

>>16004987

What you talking about? It's clearly a very big cat.

>>16005119

the setting's lore is literally that at some point in the future a bunch of asshole mages capture the dragon god of time and poke it with sticks until it breaks apart into a billion pieces. But being the god of time that meant it retroactively broke at *all* points in history instead of just the future, fucking up the flow of time in the past, present, and future forever. And as a result, when ever there's a major event in the timeline, it also causes a bunch of paradoxes to happen and all of history gets slightly rearranged into a new timeline… which is why the lore and even world itself is slightly different in each game.

There's also a giant robot made out dwarven souls that actively rapes the space time continuum when ever it's activated, but that's a whole other thing.

>>16005429

I know the second paragraph is talking about Numidium but what is the first about?

>>16009721

The Dragon Break, as described in the IG book "Where Were You When The Dragon Broke?", an event perpetrated by the Marukhati Selectives.

>>16009742

Thanks

>>16005216

Almost makes me want to redownload it for the questionable porn mods except get the ones that have good animations only for them TO FUCK UP INTO GOD DAMN T-POSES SO I WASTE AN ENTIRE NIGHT FIXING THAT SHIT WITH NO AVAIL SO I GO FAP TO SOME 2D BITCHES INSTEAD

I can never figure out the reason behind my pure autism with those fucking mods.

Also ESO is pretty shit, it's nothing special.

>>16005275

It put me off the game immensely, admittedly I was already in a bad mood and I should've given it more time but I did not enjoy the system.

Bought the bundle on sale. I might play…

I do play it. It is fairly good for MMO standards, but it is also rough on the edges.

>Better combat than any other TES game

It better have. It wasn't that difficult. It is also "unique" regarding MMO, considering the game is based around manual targeting (game is fairly generous with the tracking, but you still have to aim), and almost no skill has cooldowns, which means you are just fighting your own resources (stamina or mana) for the continued use of skills. Knowing how to not spam is part of the key to success. The other is "weaving" (animation-cancelling techniques) your rotation.

>Quest comparable to Skyrim's

Some of them even have marginally more difficult and varied puzzles than Skyrim, so I consider them to be superior. Other than that, it has pretty standard TES quests, and they play almost exactly like the main games. A shame they are mechanically useless, with low rewards, because they are fairly entertaining.

<Brain dead mechanics in dungeons

Outside of DLC dungeons and some specific raids, mechanics consist of:

- Tanks: taunt and shield machine.

- DPS: play out your rotation. Dodge from time to time

- Healer: play out your rotation, but with team awareness.

They are all pretty easy and casual, unless you go into DLC dungeon territory, in which some mechanics go balls to the wall.

>Easy levelling, but sky high ever increasing XP cap

>Fairly strategic objective-based PvP (that is, Cyrodiil, not Battlegrounds)

<Absolutely fucktarded unbalanced PvP, specially Battlegrounds

Battlegrounds was designed for DPS. They go as far as throwing in mechanics that prevent tanks and healers from being useful or even getting points at all.

<Annoying crafting system that requires you to wait real time for stuff to research. It is also simplistic as shit.

>Equipping yourself is easy, and most decent sets can either be bought for very cheap in guild stores, or obtained easily by farming the dungeon it drops in

<Dungeon farmed sets are account bound. You have to farm them yourself. Fortunately, it is fairly easy.

>Decent build variety. Doesn't really fall into the cookie cutter builds issue most MMO have, or at least for tanks.

>Really nice and helpful community

>Guild system is actually fairly cool. You can have up to five account-based guilds, and each of them can bid weekly for a guild shop in a town.

<Fucktarded mount system

>Game isn't really P2W, unless you consider the ESO Plus bag to be P2W you are in your right to do so, inventory management is a pain in the ass otherwise.

<Shit boring events that feel like a chore. Specially the Christmas event. Holy shit was it boring.

>>16010088

skills to use and movement options do not equal better feeling combat for ESO in comparison to ES games

>>16005262

Do you hear the Transformers transformation noise too?

>>16005275

Haha look at all the brainlets who have no clue how to play babby's first RPG

>M-MUH MISSSS

Kek

>>16010225

You do know you are comparing something to the snorefest that is the traditional clicker-based TES combat, right? Better "feeling" or not, it's still terrible. ESO combat at least has a decent mechanical base.

>>16010379

>Cyrodiil is fucking gay right now because they're doing a pvp event so all the CP 830s are hopping in and raping 10 and up.

You can go to non-Champion Point campaigns. They are better for anyone that's not max level and better in general.

>Never post anything in zone chat you WILL get banned.

Would be the first time I see Zenimax give a fuck about players being dumb. Unless you go full 14/88, you will probably be fine. In fact, their forums are full of people complaining that ZOS does nothing about people being openly racist on zone chat

>Vvardenfell is a nice zone, not worth 40 fucking dollars, but it's still got good content.

Vvardenfell is given for free for new accounts, at least those that buy the game from Steam. By the way, Steam users get connection issues after pretty much every patch. The downtime has been getting better since the whole #elderscrollsoffline fiasco (a time where Steam users got a multi-day downtime. In the middle of daily login events. No compensation), but it's still something to be considered, just in case.

>Never played summerset but I hear it's good.

It's not that good. If you can get it on discount, at like 5-7 dollars, it will probably be okay, if only for the Trial, which is fairly fun, and some of the world bosses. Also the Jewelry crafting. The Psijic questline is terrible, tho.

>>16004980

If you really only played it when it came out I'm sure you're aware of how it locked you in to certain areas or something? Anyway they got rid of all that so you're a bit more free.

I think it's the best MMORPG out there, which isn't really saying much, but it is Multiplayer Skyrim and therefore it's pretty fuckin awesome. I don't care what the haters say, it's everything anyone that wanted multiplayer in Skyrim could want. Just the simple fact you can stealth (sort of if you have 200+ ping like me) and sort of play a singleplayer story but with friends and in an online world is awesome. I haven't done much in it besides that though.

>>16005233

>MISS

Maybe you should fucking learn how to hit something you fucking retarded pleb

>>16013449

>it's like literally skyrim

>except for persistence

which is half the reason why people play these games: The second i play an elder scrolls game that doesn't let me pick up a mug and drop it and then several years later i can go back and pick up that same mug is the second i stop pirating those shit games

>>16013497

>you only have to wait 2 months for max speed or stamina

Ok dude i ONLY have to WAIT for 2 MONTHS to do something in a game that was supposed to be paid for plus subscription

>>16013501

and other games have you grind for that shit or worse shop only, so? also there's no sub anymore and it's a gradual improvement instead going from shit to less shit.

there's a lot of stupid shit in eso, improving your mount stats via daily click is hardly one of them

>>16013518

another thing to add, if you're a crafter you hardly use a mount in the beginning because you'll be gathering shit left and right that makes walking faster than summoning your mount every 10 seconds.

and even as noncrafter a mount with low stats has still some use since it doesn't cost your stamina and is still faster than sprinting. with wayshrines fucking everywhere you only lose a few seconds, and if that is an issue do pvp for an hour and get rapid manouver for the speedbuff.

>>16009742

Wait I thought the Dragonbreak happened in Daggerfall?

Strong community, insanely high pve skillcap could personally be a con for you, since animation canceling is absolutely an acquired taste and you can't be competitive without doing it, the best questing experience of any modern MMO, horizontal gear progression with meaningful long-term upgrades instead of having your progress essentially reset every time there's a content patch, no P2W though the crafting bag is about as much of a QoL boost as the currency tab in PoE is, so could definitely be construed as P2W depending on your perspective, great visuals, enough shit to do to keep a completionist busy for a long, long time.

Like GW2, it's something that you can play for a couple months and then take a break for a few to play other things before coming back and picking up where you left off. That said, if you aren't already an MMOfag, I wouldn't recommend starting down that path. Get into emulation or something instead.

They (players) found the dev room in FO76 with all the items including the 3 end-game power armors for the taking. I wouldn't touch an online game run by the same company as these fail fags.

>>16018180

I'm pretty sure Bethesda have almost nothing to do with eso, their names just on the game.

it started with Todd being super autistic about the lore before release then handing it off to another company that said "this is an alternative universe, the old lore means nothing lol."

which I'm okay with because it's a okay elder scrolls themed MMO

>>16004980

>queuing up for dungeons was dumb because rather than the game loading you into an instance you had to actually go to the dungeon and wait for your party

>complaining about not killing the feel of the world being an actual world and not a largely irrelevant plane full of teleports from relevant place to relevant place

Underage scum, this is one of the changes that ruined WoW. No wonder you're playing a shit game, you yourself are shit.

>>16013497

>they changed it so you can just teleport everywhere

Simply epic. Delete this garbage thread.
