So, if I understand him right, in the alpha there's classes? He mentioned a "Dragon Knight," with several abilities that appeared to be unique to Dragon Knights. This leads me to wonder if each class either A) can only use certain skills (i.e. Warrior only being able to wear Heavy Armor) or B) have bonuses to certain skills (i.e. Warrior having a natural +5 to Heavy Armor). If it's the first, I still might get it if it's really good, but if it's the second that's a whole lot better because I can still train other skills to give the class my own unique spin on things. In any case, my planned character is going to be a Dunmer wearing Light Armor, dual-wielding swords for melee and using Destruction for ranged and Restoration for healing, with emphasis on speed, dodging and attack. If that's possible. In any case, seeing the mainland of Morrowind might just be worth getting it at least for a bit.
Sadly, this is true. Though honestly, the deck is seriously stacked in Ebonheart's favor. Not only are the areas featured in TWO ES games of the "big three" (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim) a part of it, the area featured in the last one isn't even playable. People will probably make a character for the other two, just to see the sights, but they'll probably spend most of their time playing as an Ebonheart character.Fappy said:
No need to get surly, was just asking, as the majority of Alphas I've been on have had ironclad NDA's. If the Elder Scrolls NDA isn't as restrictive, more power to them.Carrots_macduff said:

-As far as I know classes don't have inherent bonuses to certain armor/weapons
From all the previews I have read, classes are really just something you pick for that classes special class skills, not because warriors = heavy armor wearing axe wields.
To be more specific, the game works like Skyrim, an items power is based on how often you use it, so every class CAN be as good as every other with everything.
my hope is that it will be similar to skyrim, but with friends, as well as some combat beyond the whole swing sword/shoot bow/throw spell, but with the same control style. the addition of skill bar will hopefully open up a lot of options for traps and such.
All the provinces are in the game at launch, though to all parts of every province are in the game at launch.GunsmithKitten said:
I highly doubt the main city of Hammerfell wont be in the game.
I was incredibly 'meh' about this game before. But the way Jesse makes it sound...well it actually sounds pretty awesome. I'm thinking about buying it, if only for the first month of play or so.
Actually, this game sounds like what D&D online was supposed to be. With a different ruleset for stats and such, but still. (DDO was nice. But it was a very small world, was uninspired, had some major problems with the combat systems and the devs soon started to pander to the wow crowd.)
