"Likewise, the 4-man dungeons obviously require a group to complete," How so? Are the enemies higher levels? Is the combat
turn by turn? Are there alot of enemies? This is the elder scrolls and no matter what I could always figure around things unless they changed things. This "preview" does very little to actually tell me anything besides that this has a story

Thank you Ill check it out but listening to this guy just sounds disencouraging because at points it sounds like he is constricted to an "area"

Promises, promises. Let's see if they deliver, though I'll be honest, I'm not excited by the description of the PvP area. I hate pvp that's gear dependent. They always turn into the High School Student and Unemployed zone.

At this point, it sounds very much like Guild Wars 2, with its exploration-related quests, playstyles, zones devoted to PVP, shared PVP/PVE gear, etc. So I have to ask the critical question:

How is the combat?

If the combat is mediocre, it will make or break the game. Why should I play ESO over Guild Wars 2?

Anyone else noticing similarities between the media for this and the media for the old republic... single player experience, story, o don't worry, we got awesome mmo-ness at the end...

Seen too much hype about too many mmo's in the past to not be skeptical. Color me cynical :)

ToR was a brilliant and ground breaking MMO but as every MMO is ruined by people racing to max level and skipping 90% of the content which has taken 3 years to make and then say it lacks content and it sucks.

I'm getting dangerously hyped for this game, I should really wait for reviews when it finally comes out. By the sounds of it though, I'll be spending a good few hours just creating my character.

I've already started planning names.

Ugh, I really wish I got into the beta for ESO instead of FF XIV: Realm Reborn.

Here's hoping I'll get to try it out soon, it sounds great.

As long as every single fucking blow I land hits with no "MISS" popping up on screen, every single sword the connects with my shield or sword is deflected or impeded, and projectiles are manually aimed with no lock-on and hitting 100 of time, balanced only by the dreaded "MISS". I.E. Like every other Elder Scrolls game post Morrowind (minus the projectile part) and not like the mechanical combat of WoW.

Then they may, just may, get my money.

This sounds like it's going to be very very similar to the MMO's that we keep getting. Nothing new here.

Everquest Next may have bring something new, if they can pull off their promises.
