Elder Scrolls Online Beta test time tonight!

does it play like a regular elder scrolls game?

 

Kinda... It has the feel of one but it has the MMORPG skills. Imagine a baby between almost any big name RPG with TES

 

Could you expand on the "mmorpg" skills part? I was wondering if it was like elder scrolls coop, rather than multiplayer, when playing with friends?

 

Like your typical skills that you get on a skillbar. TES never has those sort of things, it just had a weapon and you use it unless you are a spellcaster and you use your spells but they aren't linked to a bar.

It's multiplayer, I wish it were more like coop with instanced areas but they're open to all players and kinda ruin the fund of dungeons.

 

Well you could hotkey spells in skyrim. But I imagine it has non magic skills assigned to hotkeys unlike elder scrolls is what you mean. Does it have the regular first and third person views in it like skyrim and oblivion?

 

Yes it has the two views

 

im so surprised how optimized the game is. really impressed. the game looks beautiful but kinda weird seeing players around you 24/7 in a skyrim world.

 

It's actually surprising how smooth the game runs, I was expecting alot more bugs, I only encountered one so far. Was also expecting a helluva lot of lag, but still not that bad, even on my shiternet.

 

no invite here....Put in a good word for me with the devs!

 

I hope that when the WPVP starts, things go turn into shit. Considering the type of graphics in this game, it will be interesting to see how they would address 40vs40 type of thing...
Praying for some PVP love in that game. I hope that they don't fuck it up like the rest of them did.
