I'll do what I always do these days with new MMOs. Ignore all the prelaunch hype and see what people have to say about the game a few months after release. This way you'll skip all the bullshit you get fed prelaunch and all the launch related shananigans. By then people have also gotten over the honeymoon period of a new MMO, so they are better able to form a realiable view of the game with all the good and bad it entails. If it still sounds like a solid and interesting game, I'll give it a go. |

I love TES series, and get pretty immersed in the world sometimes just reading the books ingame and such, but i end up heavily modding my games, because of something that annoys me, like originally not being able to make arrows.
My feelings are pretty much the same. TES series is what it is today because of the moddability of the game. It keeps them alive until the next game is released and even after, since you can mod it to be an entirely different type of game if you want to. The vanilla versions have always been well made games on their own, but also have always had some serious flaws. To Bethesda's credit they listen to their players and include the popular mods in their updates(like arrow crafting) or new games, so every new game in the series is mostly an improvement over the previous game in the franchise as far as gameplay and immersion is concerned.
ESO seems to make the mistake in thinking, that I play TES series because of the lore and will be happy to play any type of game set in the same universe. To me the appeal of TES is all about the sandbox, the freedom to do anything you want with minimal limitations, the unique character development and the moddability. Their game doesn't even aim to offer that and instead have opted to mimic what other games have done in the past. It may be a good game, but as a TES fan I have very little interest in the game they're intent on making. |

That's awesome. I hope they actually finish it at some point, since I have serious issues getting Morrowind to work properly. It would be so convenient to have it be upgraded to modern standards and work flawlessly without workarounds. |
