It was salvageable if they could have focused on gameplay instead of creating more “content” behind paywalls. Their content is just reskinned zones with fetch quests and a few must haves to stay in the competitive loop. You just feel used for your money when you are paying $15 a month and you have to buy a $60 expansion every year that ends up being free if you buy the chapter next year. They only screw over their loyal base of players. The pvp used to be kinda fun but they completely screwed up the class identity and the pvp content has been the same for 6 years.… Expand

That being said however I'm not sure this game is for everyone and can't rate it any higher than a 7.5/10. Zenimax has recently made multiple disliked gameplay changes, they've shown a lack of implementing good player feedback, forced subscription for proper inventory management, long ongoing bugs they refuse to fix, and a heavy emphasis on lootboxes and microtransactions for the coolest in game cosmetics. All in all, I still think this is a fantastic game with a lot to offer if you're willing to overlook the issues.… Expand

    Since ESO's transition to Free-To-Play and a Paid Subscription model, the game has failed to balance the two differing game environments.

    In Free-To-Play games, you can expect long wait times to complete activities, grinds to compel you to pay up for convenience, repetitive content only varied with additional purchases, and more RNG than deserves to exist in 2022. Even as a Paid    Since ESO's transition to Free-To-Play and a Paid Subscription model, the game has failed to balance the two differing game environments.

    In Free-To-Play games, you can expect long wait times to complete activities, grinds to compel you to pay up for convenience, repetitive content only varied with additional purchases, and more RNG than deserves to exist in 2022. Even as a Paid Subscriber, you must endure all of this.

    ESO prides itself on making hoarders and collectors of out every player. In order to experience convenience, you must experienced hours and hours of inconvenience. In order to attain gear, you must steadily fill a stickerbook that can then reconstruct any obtained gear for the very rare currency of transmute crystals. In order to make money, you need to purchase additional character slots, or own a second account, and complete the exact same set of money-making dailies to feel you can have a say in the ever-inflating marketplace. Every solution to the above problems and more can be solved with the purchase of the game's monetary currency: crowns, buying the newest chapter or DLC (they are separate), or being a paid subscriber to earn 10% increased gold and double transmute crystal storage--though you're likely never to reach that threshold.

    There is something for everyone in ESO and that has how the developer's intend for the game to be going forward. The plans for 2022 and beyond include adding even more superficial systems, creating more grinds and collection incentives, and overall inundating players with more choices than is healthy in a videogame. They do not revisit old content without great intervention and as a new policy in 2022 will not deepen any existing systems. The amount of options for your dwindling free time will be overwhelming to you now and more so in the future; with each day, you'll know you're missing out on something. This long, drawn-out playtime culminates in you playing ESO for decades to come--and still not completing any activity available.

    Elder Scrolls Online would do well to limit it's Free-To-Play model to a level cap or certain activities, allowing Paid Subscribers to actually reap the benefits of putting in money. But as it stands, you are no different than a chore-working robot, desperately trying to engage with the game that wants to instill unhealthy habits in you. 2022 will define what kind of player they want: the passive slave, or the struggling addict. Your love of the Elder Scrolls IP will be tested as you enable or rebel against this fate.    … Expand

    The Elder Scrolls Online is a another "triple a" MMORPG that fails to provide a unique experience or even basic roleplay functionality. It is, in essence, a collection of fetch quests given out by characters you could care less about in a world that, despite having the entirety of the elder scrolls universe available to it, fails to provide any sort of unique world, story, or environments.The Elder Scrolls Online is a another "triple a" MMORPG that fails to provide a unique experience or even basic roleplay functionality. It is, in essence, a collection of fetch quests given out by characters you could care less about in a world that, despite having the entirety of the elder scrolls universe available to it, fails to provide any sort of unique world, story, or environments. You bet your rear end that there's a cash shop, an ("optional") subscription fee, an upfront cost, as well as DLC to buy for it, though.

    After suffering through an uninspired "You are the chosen one." style tutorial which treats you like you've never played a game before, you're dumped on a dumpy island where the game ushers you towards speaking to more uninteresting characters. After that, it's back to more tutorial-esque "look at the enemy and mash m1" combat that desperate begs for an auto-attack function. At this point, I couldn't stand it any longer and began to search for interesting content, only to find that the game is just a big, bland set piece filled with hostile trash mobs. In about an hour of wandering outside the city of Daggerfall, I only found two characters I could actually speak to. The first was a generic merchant with bad voice acting. The second was some insane guy who accused me of being a mudcrab. This is the only interesting character I encountered in the game. Although I felt bad doing it, the man had insulted my honour, and I was obligated to kill him. Surprisingly, the game let me do it, but unsurprisingly, it went right back to being lame by putting a bounty on my head despite the fact that there were no law-abiding characters for miles around to report me. I gave up on it right there.

    On top of this, the game looks bad, despite being gigantic in size. It has blurry textures, regular pop-in rendering, a weird issue with rendering shadows that causes interlocking grid-like patterns overlaid on things, poor-looking character models, animations with too few frames, death animations that rival the original Half-Life in fidelity, and environments that feel like the same twenty or so props were just copy and pasted indefinitely over a displacement mesh.

    Furthermore, the game's website is godawful. Normally, I wouldn't even critique this, but using this website for even ten minutes is aggravating. I had pages take several MINUTES to load, as it loaded a seemingly blank page and then reloaded itself repeatedly, as if a scripting element were broken and it didn't know what to do. It would do this even without any browser plug-ins installed. Navigation was awful. There were header links on different pages of the site with the same titles that would bring you to completely different areas. You would have to log in multiple times for no apparent reason. Sometimes the log in button wouldn't work at all, and you would have to refresh and re-enter your details (after the several minute loading loop finished, of course). It was the closest thing I've experienced to using dial-up in a nearly a decade.

    If you want a game in which you can actually role-play, this isn't it. This is another generic "Bullet Sponge Trash Mob Killing Spree: The Totally Original Button Mashing EXTREME Edition" MMO. I don't even know if there is anything to do other than combat. The tutorial didn't show anything apart from that and lock-picking. The lock-picking, by the way, was so unintuitive that I had to Google how to do it, though I had admittedly been skipping all the dialogue at that point, as it was insufferable. I can't tell you a single unique feature of this game, other than its facade of being an Elder Scrolls game and its unprecedentedly large file size. Between that, the poor graphics, the horrendous website, and, of course, the quadruple dipping in monetisation methods, it's quite clear that the motives behind its creation were in greed rather than passion.    … Expand

    I suspect that the people who are still buying and checking out ESO are bored Skyrim players depressed over the fact Bethesda isn't going to deliver a new Elder Scroll title anytime soon.

    If you've played any MMO, you'll understand this EOS does not bring anything new to the plate, it just rehashes the same principals over and over, new zone? Same quests...fetch this...talk to that person, whilst in this department the game is pretty much playable until you meet broken mobs and ruins the experience completely.

    EOS ranges from being fun and playable to frustratingly broken, imagine running into mobs that frequently knock you through the world or throw you to the other side of the zone, often killing you in the process or WORSE - being banned because you're exploiting the scenery because that 2H mob used uppercut skill and keeps knocking you through the floor into the world below... or another common issue is invisible enemies...trust me, the bug list is fairly extensive.

    Now, add insult to further injury with the crown store and Beth severely over-monetizing the game, they literally want to sell you everything, and it isn't cheap either. Then comes the psuedo 'free' to play as long as you buy the game, lets make things clear - YES you can play free, but with some very heavy limitations which will heavily impact everything you do, essentially if you want to seriously play, then the monthly subscription is required.

    There are more issues such as requiring you to join a trade guild if you want to sell items (auction system), this system has always been controversial but frankly, it sucks and is needless complicated and annoying, there are addons which can help - but not by much.    … Expand

Everything is such a vast upgrade from when I first started playing the online beta in 2013. It's been quite amazing to see this game develop into the masterpiece it is considered today. After countless updates, Zenimax has turned there brainchild into a benchmark that sets the standards for all true MMO RPG's. Even after considering the mechanics of the game, one can still conclude that the Lore in Elder Scrolls Online is superior to any other game series out there today. There just simply ins't a game out there that makes the player so emotional attached to the events surrounding your character. I in particular found myself reading through countless Lore wiki pages and subreddits just out of pure interest and joy. Even the game forums were filled with equally thrilled enthusiasts trying to get answers from company workers.

    In all this game is more than just a MMO RPG. It is the key to a better understanding of how true beauty can become captured within a video game. The majority of gamers these days are blinded by the financially obsessed Game Developers that produce short term garbage. This game however gives us all hope though, that quality, meaningful games are still being produced without the intention of making quick money. If only all of the kids would ditch Call of Duty and CS:GO to play ESO. Maybe then could they still discover true purpose and enlightenment within video games. Life is more than just running around killing people, and this game emphasizes this point unlike any other game I have played to date.    … Expand

    Positive:

    Graphics are nice for a MMO.

    Initial character creation.

    You can have eight characters.

    Negative:

    World feels empty and bland, not even close to anything from Elder Scrolls games like Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. It is populated with players, boring NPCs with no character, and very little lore.

    Quests are repetitive and boring.

    Combat has zero RPG feeling, feels very arcade and grinding. Skills are not even close to those in Skyrim, they are very much dumbed down and have an arcade feeling that caters to non hardcore RPG players.

    Difficulty is unbalanced, instead of making enemies scale nicely with you like in Skyrim, you run into enemies you kill easily, and those that kill you fast even though they are 30 seconds of walk from the town where you started, not in some obscure dungeon.

    Getting equipment is a nightmare, you either scurry around for crafting ingredients or if you are lucky buy some for absurd prices, finding equipment is a chore. Expect to run around in Soul Shriven equipment for quite a while. Complete opposite of Elder Scrolls games where you find equipment in every dungeon and you can loot it from your enemies. In this game looting is not well implemented at all. And yes the wear of the equipment is back, you will have to fix it after a while, thank God they removed that from Skyrim.

    No immersion in Elder Scrolls universe in this game, it feels like a MMO on which someone slapped some Elder Scrolls elements here and there.

    If you were expecting a light version of Skyrim you will be greatly disappointed. Same goes if you expected a MMO with a good amount of Elder Scrolls lore.

    I will give it some more time but so far I am not impressed in the least and I think I wasted 23 dollars I paid for this. It has all the downsides of a MMO and nothing of value copied from Skyrim.    … Expand

    They promised multiplayer battles with hundreds of players: Look up videos on the internet about the LAG on primetime.
    They introduced the champion system which creates the biggest unbalance in the game, we had to fight to make them limit it but new players will still be unable to compete with old players.

    I had a chance to try this game in its original beta. I went in knowing it wouldn't be the same Elder Scrolls experience as Morrowind or Skyrim. But I felt it would still be a solid MMO with Elder Scrolls undertones. I was quite disappointed on both fronts, and passed at launch.

    Once the game went buy-to-play and I got to see what people were saying about the game, I took an interest. My wife and I both took a chance and grabbed a copy. Within 2 days, we took up the optional premium subscription. It's that good.

    The experience is not flawless, but it's damned good. The crafting system works. With only a few exceptions, the main stories AND side quests are fun and engaging. The game supports addons, and some are very useful. Hunting for skyshards in random dungeons is great fun. The classes are well-thought out and feel good to play. The build customization offers a reasonable amount of choices, though I wish some of the skill choices were a bit more meaningful. The world feels more alive and definitely feels more Elder Scrolls than it used to. The single player TES games it isn't, not at all. But the flavor is there, at least in some capacity.

    Performance in this MMO is generally good. There are typical MMO weak points such as FPS drops in major towns or when many players are on screen flinging spells. There are some bugs and even the occasional crash. However, these things are infrequent and I find they don't interfere with my enjoyment the way they do in SWTOR.

    Bugs and imbalances exist (it's an MMO afterall) but Zenimax has definitely been on top of things with support patches. I'm actually very impressed with their cadence of support updates. They have also released DLC updates to the game to give players more to do.

    All said, I find fantasy MMOs WAY overdone and predictable. And yet, this game keeps me coming back for more. So believe me when I say if you like the Elder Scrolls, or MMOs at all give this one a try. You'll find something to like.    … Expand

    The storyline is just great and the quests are very interesting to follow. The Graphics is just fantastic and the Dungeons are very well designed.

    The combat system is very dynamic and fun play. You can play the game mouse+keyboard or Gamepad using third party software( i play with game pad sitting on the sofà :) there is nothing more relaxing!).

    I am very happy with the purchase, Bethesda is regularly releasing DLC expanding the story and the World.

    Who played the beta must try the game again.

    I give 9 out of 10 just because the game does not have native game pad support.    … Expand

    Wait a second please. I really want to "review" this game. But what's the problem with ESO? Downloading speed is holy crap. Maybe I must keep my PC turning on with ESO launcher for at least 7days.
    Before I get on this game, I already feel tired.

    This game is fantastic, without a doubt the best MMORPG I've played. Starting off, the graphics are simply brilliant.The quests have a great storyline and I love how certain choices during some quests actually have a permanent impact in the game. Absolutely love the crafting system, doesnt actually feel like a chore unlike most other games due to the awesome daily 'writs' system. TheThis game is fantastic, without a doubt the best MMORPG I've played. Starting off, the graphics are simply brilliant.The quests have a great storyline and I love how certain choices during some quests actually have a permanent impact in the game. Absolutely love the crafting system, doesnt actually feel like a chore unlike most other games due to the awesome daily 'writs' system. The NPC's also are more intelligent and you have to be careful when dealing with most of them. The combat system is brilliant, which makes PvP a lot of fun and it requires some planning and strategy as well. The only downside I've noticed is the grouping system which isnt as advanced and fast compared to certain other MMORPG's, however this isnt much of a problem if you're a member of a good guild...which is not difficult to find in this game. Definitely a must try for MMORPG fans, especially since they adopted the Buy-To-Play policy earlier this year.… Expand

    Same old grind, same old lags, still no content promised to be delivered “just after the game’s release”. [06/2015, p.58]

    The Elder Scrolls Online is not the best Elder Scrolls-game nor the best MMO. However, we did love spending tens of hours in Tamriel and this huge world does not seem to grow old quick. There are some flaws, but those are not even big enough to mention as in the end, Tamriel Unlimited is very entertaining, especially now that there are no subscription costs anymore.

    The Elder Scrolls Online is a solid MMORPG, with content for hundreds of hours and playable with no monthly fees. Ultimately, this Tamriel Unlimited confirms to be the best edition for those who want to delve into the fantasy world created by Bethesda twenty years ago.
