    Been playing MMO for 15 years this one by far is the best I've ever played. I'm so hooked I've stayed up for days just playing this game I'm current a veteran rank 7 and let me tell you if you thought this game will stop at level 50 you are so wrong it only opens up ten fold.. If your on the fence jump over trust me you won't regret it.

    A monthly subscription and micro transactions. This game will free to play within 12 months.
    Has the potential to be a great game the business model (cash grab) will destroy ESO within a year.

    As usual you are this guy that will save the world, a chosen one, but there are hundreds other chosen ones running around doing exactly the same quests as you. This makes any attempt at immersion fail. As the story is concerned you are the lone hero everything revolves around you. The game does not introduce other players into the story in any way. Other players are just messing with your game. There is no game world or story logic explaining other players around you. Your best bet is to pretend you're alone.

    Skill system and character development – completely uninspiring. When you look through the skills it's just blend. Nothing to look forward too. There is no builds that you can look at and say 'wow that sounds really cool' everything is 'meh'.

    PvP is an entirely different map that could have been an independent game. There is no thrill of encountering a real life enemy in a 'normal' game.

    PvE is for the most part not needed. There are some dungeons/bosses that require it but its not really that fun. I hope it will get better though, it is the only justification to continue playing for me.

    The game is rather expensive without even having a trial. Don't buy it.    … Expand

What you get is everything Elder Scrolls has always been: spectacular visuals, detailed character creation, beautiful soundtrack and the classic quest lore...all in an MMO environment. This franchise will only get better as time goes on and software/game is improved and the world is further developed via forthcoming game updates and patches. This one is going to get better folks so Elder Scrolls fans buckle up and strap in. The rest; if you came here looking for WoW...you should probably go back to it.

    I find myself very disappointed in this game. While it uses the world and lore of Elder Scrolls it loses the sandbox aspect of the Elder Scroll series of games.

While it uses the world and lore of Elder Scrolls it loses the sandbox aspect of the Elder Scroll series of games. Rather than being able to learn any skills and advance them through use/training you are forced into one of 4 classes of the same old variety - warrior, mage, thief and priest. Each class gives you 3 skills that you can learn for that class plus your choice of weapons and armor. However the choice in armor is a false choice. The only armor that "sorcerers" gain benefit appropriate for their "class" is light armor. Same with the "thief" class in medium armor and so on. Furthermore skill usage doesn't raise skills, just having items equipped or on skills on your skill bar raises them as you gain experience.

    By discarding the open sandbox advancement aspect of the single player Elder Scrolls games and adopting the same old four cookie cutter class aspects just makes ESO another of the same tired old "been there, done that" MMO. I loved Skyrim and enjoyed the previous Elder Scrolls games, but unfortunately ESO doesn't live up to it's history.    … Expand

    A decent game marred by some truly terrible design decisions.

    ESO is fun, graphically gorgeous and rather engaging. Unfortunately terrible public dungeon design, poor loot mechanics, a non-existent economy and ZOSs seeming inability to deal with exploting and hacking take the shine off what would have been an otherwise outstanding MMO.

    Every part of this game is broken and some are even worst from Arena like for example Inventory which here don't exist at all. Not mention about core of game statistics which was redesigned into dumbest possible health magic stamina. Is this still Elder Scrolls anyway? If you change rules of chess game then it become checkers, and this is what Skyrim is.

I've just finished reading all of the review, and there is a lot ! (I'm studying computer-science with pc-games as my speciality!) ESO is a beautiful MMO and well designed, overall a great game and yet a medium User Score. If you don't know the game and came here to see if you should buy it, don't let the low User Score frighten you of. Guessing it's wow players last cry for help, bashing the game.
    Everyone is entitled to a opinion, but giving it 0 for being ugly, or for bugs(I've encountered 2 minor so far) or ''THERE ISN*T ANY DRAKES! WTF!", is just retarded. And I can honestly tell you, there is a lot of retarded people reviewing this game. Giving it 5 or 7 or whatever is understandable, and the game might not be what you expected, fine! But giving it 0-1 for being the worst game ever is just counterproductive.

    Stability:
    Anyway, so far I've played 20 hours of game time, and have experienced zero serverdown time, zero lag, zero waiting in queue time, which is pretty impressive -- 2 Points!

    Graphics:
    The graphics are of the chart. Really impressive, even close up and the spells looks amazing! And it's a freaking MMO !
    --2 Points!

    Gameplay:
    Many people of bashing haters will tell me otherwise. But the truth is that the combat feels way less clunky then Skyrim. The world feels alive, with NPC's sticking to rutines like you know for Bethasda games, and therefor the game doesn't at all seem static like other MMO's. The enemies are very alive and have have different abilities, which makes every encounter unique.
    --2 Points!

    Content:
    The Skill tree in this game is very unique for other MMO's. There arn't any specific path you must follow. Everything is open and possible.
    The crafting is very, very well designed and is one of the best crafting systems I've seen in recent MMO's.
    The world is huge, like you would expect in a MMO, and there is endless quests just waiting for you.
    - 2 Points!

    Replayablity:
    All quests are fully voiced which actually makes it playable as a single player game, without mindlessly grinding. Also like 30 % of quests come with an important choice which changes to quest completely. It's also worth mentioning the quests are beautiful written, like you would expect from Bethasda.
    --2 Points!

    Other:
    Great community always willing to help you out. So overall a great game. The only thing I have a little problem with is Bethasda aiming the ''big'' raiding party to be a 12-man raid.. And I'm a huge fan of huge raids like 25 people or so. This is of course just my opinion but that was a little bummer for me. (May come, we can't know)
    --1 Points!

    OVERALL SCORE = 9 POINTS!
    Great game, very well written/designed and well worth the money. I'm impressed you can buy a game this good for this low cost. There is a sub-fee to take into consideration before buying the game. But if you plus 2 months of sub-fee payment to the price of the game, you will be able to play it for 2 months and if it still intriges you, then it's well worth the sub-fee ! Great job Bethasda and ZeniMax Online !    … Expand

    as a max-level VR10 Elder Scrolls fan who experienced ALL the content in the game, I can tell you that this game is NOT a good MMO. First of all, there is definitely not enough endgame content in this game. You level up to VR10 and then wonder “What now?“ as there is nothing to do besides boring PvP.

    I really hated the PVP in this game since all you do, is riding horse for miles, then get into a huge battle where your individual abilities don't matter at all. Battles are won by pure numbers and nothing else. After you die, you realise that you really want to leave the area rather than running for 10 minutes to a 10 second battle. As a veteran player, I'm hard to kill and take down 2-3 enemies at the same time outside a huge battle. If my relatively rare deaths discourage me this much, I can't imagine how those 3 lowlevels feel when they die to a single veteran. There needs to be a better system for pvp implemented by the developers.

    As for PVE, there is absolutely nothing there besides 4man dungeons which don't give the progress feeling. There won't be any countless raid nights to down a boss which gives your raid hard times. Adventure zones and trials don't seem enough by the looks of it. questing with 4man group or an event which you kill random waves of enemies with 12people sounds weak (though we haven't seen them so these are far from facts as they may very well be really fun in the future)

    The game itself has countless bugs which breaks the game so often that I got used to the idea of buggy game. Game should still be in beta. It's far from completed and it seems like it needs rather long time to complete.

    You can't imagine how disappointed I am after waiting so long for this game only to get bored in a few weeks.    … Expand

Normally you'd be correct, but since the last build was from 2 weeks before launch and it was just that terrible, there's no way i'd waste $60 on it much less the sub fee.

    The game had a terrible amount of bugs. I had 15 quests in my questlog when I quit playing during the last free weekend because I couldn't complete them because they were either bugged or so high level there was no way for me to complete it. The graphics are ok, although it was more colorful than Skyrim. But the game is broken up into hub areas, so you can't explore the entire map the way you could in Skyrim. The loot drops are terrible. You can only get anything of worth as a quest reward. Literally every monster drop 1 or 2 gold coins and that was it.

    This game also suffers from some of the drawbacks in other elder scrolls games as well as in MMOs in general where NPCs aren't really NPCs they're just there to tell you to go somewhere for a quest or stand around all day waiting for you to buy something. This is something that I've grown tired of video games. The leveling system is basically, "here's another attribute point. here's another skill point. Now you have a level 4 skill!" This game has a much more generic RPG leveling system than what you would be used to in previous Elder Scrolls game.

    What this game amounts to is an extremely generic RPG set in an Elder Scrolls themepark. I can't come up with any reason why someone would pay a sub fee for this game unless you like flushing money down the toilet. Is it even worth $60? I'd say no, but if you're a hardcore Elder Scrolls fan then maybe it's worth paying $60 and trying it for a month. Like I said, I quit playing it when it was free for me to play because I found it so bad. So I think that says it all. If this game at launch was totally free, I'd still rather play other F2P games like Path of Exile that I think are more enjoyable and of better quality than this game.    … Expand

Essentially at higher levels this game becomes frustrating and impossible to complete. There are still way to many bugs that have been ignored in the main quest lines. You will find it is nearly impossible to play without add-ons as well. Trading between guilds and players require it if you desire to actually find the items you are searching for.

Where there is an attempt to incorporate some of the elements of the single player games it feels clunky or doesn't quite work because the fundamental starting point was your bog standard MMO the like of which we've seen time and again for the last 10 years. Take questing. full voice, lots of effort put into back story you say? Well yes, but because the questing and character advancement model is essentially the same as most MMOs (That being you advance by completing quests which give you xp to spend on level ups), the world is necessarily packed with quest givers, most of whom give 5 min quests which we've all done a million of before, kill 5 bears, pick 10 flowers, blah blah blah. The end result is all the fancy voice acting and back story just wastes your time because the fundamental activity is so mindless. I could go on and on about the disappointments in ESO, but it all boils down to one thing. Its nothing new, its not in the spirit of the single player games, its just another near enough carbon copy of a gameplay model that doesn't fit with the IP that's been forced into it. Come on Devs, can't you be a bit braver than this. If Bethesda had just copied the successful model of the time then Arena would of been a scripted on rails experience like Final Fantasy. The MMORPG world is crying out for something new, something different. Enough with the era of the WoW-a-like.… Expand

Grouping up and doing quests is great, but if you are solo it's very nicely built so when u run into other people, if you are both attacking you both get credit for killing even tho you are not in the same party. Lots and lots of amazing lore, this game is rich in prophetic history and oozing with brilliant storytelling. UI is minimal, clean, and very elder scrollish. Bosses are fun, detailed, and surprise you from time to time. PVP is a glorious beast of its own. Massive raids storming multiple castles on multiple fronts. AvAvA Battles are incredibly exciting and amazing spectacles to behold, and partake in. Combat in itself is very fun and action driven, just like in all elder scrolls games. Make no mistake the graphics are beautiful. The art team deserves a special merit for spending the time to detail all the environments and capturing the essence of what elder scrolls is all about. Crafting is by far the deepest I've seen so far, on par with games like EvE. The only down side is the first couple weeks were riddled with bugs, and still a few left over. Also the game crashes quite frequently and unexpectedly at times. These things will be fixed down the road as with any other game. Overall, one of the best MMORPG I have ever played.

This is not a WoW clone with an elder scrolls skin this very unique. I have played games like WoW and other mmos and they all play out the same way. Generic quests, boring combat, familiar control mechanics. I played the Beta and loved it now with the full game I love it even more. It feels like skyrim, balanced and ironed out for multiplayer focus. Not everything is the exact same, you dont kill enemies and loot the exact armor they are wearing and there is barely any ammunition like soul gems and arrows. This is more balanced and requires more effort going through quests you will find things coming together: leveling, armor, weapons. Its not pick up and go like skyrim its more progress then pick up and go. The combat is just like skyrim no more boring watch you and the enemy fight while using a skill in mid combat. Grouping with others is even more fun, its a friendly and relaxing atmosphere this is one of the first online focused games i could see myself playing for over a year. Not everything is satisfying some things you will miss from skyrim like the persistent world with incredible AI where anything could happen, player housing, easier loot, etc. This feels so much like elder scrolls and it is similar to games like wow or guild wars 2. The quests feel more like elder scroll quests than generic mmo quests. There's so much more I could write but trust me this a fantastic mmo so far. I only worry about the end game which was big problem for GW2. But if you accept this game for what it is, It's a real treat for Elder scrolls fans who want to play with other fans, make guilds, adventuring off. Its very satisfying but there are flaws here and there like factions being seperated across the map.

Some boss quests do not allow teaming up and the lack of meaningful control spells for High Elf Sorcerer makes the type ridiculously hard. The only groundbreaking achievement for this game is its cost. Not only do you have to pay $60 to get it, you then have to pay $15/month to play it. The normal MMORPG mode is to do one or the other but not both. Making this the most expensive game ever! And for all that money you don't get anywhere near enough value to be worth the cost.

    And we all know the cash shop is not going to sit idle for long. The cash shop says: I am ready to move to free to play at a moments notice. XP potions, Gold Potions, skins, buy a level 50, mounts etc.    … Expand

    Absolutely Hated this game when I played the Beta. Things have changed. Is it as quality as a single player elder scrolls game? No. But God damn for an MMO it comes close. Leveling your character isn't a chore when you are lost in the fantastic world the developers created. It's buggy, and some wrong choices were made. But when things come together it feels like an amazing rpg experience.

    Imagine a game that takes the weakest elements of an adventure/wrpg and tacks on multiplayer that feels like singleplayer, a UI that takes up half the screen with dead space when you look at your bags, and choppy combat that may or may not know what genre it wants to be.
    If you want to play a wrpg, stick to skyrim, or the witcher.
    If you want to play an MMO, stick to Eve, WoW, or TERA.

    What can i say? The Game is no Singleplayer Elder Scrolls, because its a MMORPG. And the Game is not really a good MMROPG because Bethesda will make the Singleplayer Fans happy.
    And so the Game is not really a MMO and not really am Elder Srolls....

    Eight years of development, a team consisting of even 250 people at some points, budget reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. It’s a pity that this ‘Skyrim Online’ disappoints both fans of previous Bethesda games and MMORPG veterans who expected some fresh air in the stale genre. [06/2014, p.44]

    A well done MMO that can lure players not familiar with the genre. But if you've played MMOs before, this one doesn't offer anything new, nor anything exciting.

    60 days was more then enough time for me to determine that I would rather spend my time elsewhere.
