Is your definition of the Elder Scrolls series just Skyrim? Elder Scrolls hasn't always been grim.And the gameplay shows that the art style goes away from the grim elder scrolls series?
Morrowind and Skyrim are pretty grim, Oblivion's not, but never gone back to Arena and Daggerfall. It's fine to have both, but when you're showered in purple, red and blue while far inside a cave it just becomes silly, if it's lush farmlands it's fine.Is your definition of the Elder Scrolls series just Skyrim?

Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind and Oblivion (Especially the Shivering Isles) were all very colourful with varied landscapes.
All the more reason why you don't deserve to have an opinion on it. Not all MMORPGS are the same. If you had played them all then I would respect your opinion. But to say it LOOKS just like another MMORPG is just a weak pointless comment and unjust based on a game that isn't even out yet and also unfair toward some very good online games like Guild Wars and Lord of the Rings Online that are NOTHING LIKE World of Warcraft which is a game every non MMORPG lover uses to base their opinion on all MMORPGS and something that really winds me up.Sorry for stating an opinion, I'm not a huge fan of these types of games, no need to go all rage mode.
I'm not a big fan of Starcraft but I don't go into their forum trolling and saying 'looks like just another RTS' because I am not qualified to make a valid judgement on it.I'm not a huge fan of these types of games
The graphics for Morrowind were amazing for the time when it came out.Morrowind and Skyrim are pretty grim, Oblivion's not, but never gone back to Arena and Daggerfall.

Just hoping that they won't be aping WoW and try something different.
I have downloaded the Morrowind Graphics Overhaul and its absolutely breathtaking. Its like Morrowind was made just yesterday and is easy comparable with Obvlivion and Skyrim graphics.The graphics for Morrowind were amazing for the time when it came out.
Have they added quests to it yet?Try Morroblivion. its morrowind in the oblivion engine so sligtly harder to get lost
It wasn't directed at youSorry for stating an opinion, I'm not a huge fan of these types of games, no need to go all rage mode.
Currently you can do the quests of the main game but not the expansions, although you do need the expansions for it to work.Have they added quests to it yet?
I have not played all of them but after spending a lot of time on a few, guild wars being one of them I got less and less interested due to the lack of new ideas being implemented. Like most games though, it is hard to think of something fresh that nobody has done before so I understand why that is not a good reason for disliking them. I have only around 2 hours playing time on WoW so I can't give my opinion on that. I understand how my opinion was unjust. I played a small amount of time on Lord of the rings online which I really enjoyed but I then got distracted by other games. I have watched a lot of gameplay of some other games like Star wars the old republic but once I get round to playing them I don't enjoy it like I used to. Basing my opinion on 10 minutes of gameplay was a bit stupid and I doubt i'll be able to make a valid opinion until more gameplay and content is released.cherbert said:All the more reason why you don't deserve to have an opinion on it.

Bethesda ARE making it themselves. Its just a different team.Bethesda themselves couldn't even be bothered to make the game themselves. Generally when you see something like that happen, it's never a good thing.
This is why you need to look into it more. The megaserver is a way to access areas with friends easily with a minimum of fuss. It also means that everyone that plays the effects the politicts of clans ect not just on one server of many.I've been a follower of TES since Morrowind, and have enjoyed the three games I've played of theirs so far immensely.
That being said, from what they have shown so far it does look like every other MMO on the market.
I see odd attacks like a fire whip from a sword, some jump up cloud strike downward motion, and many others in the gameplay video that smack of the same tired abilities they give to spice up combat. I see waiting between attacks, aka cooldowns. I see the return of classes to TES, and from the abilities they seem to give, are the most restrictive I've seen so far from any of the previous TES games. I see the "Megaserver" is simply larger instanced areas instead of one large server like they try to imply with the name. I see very little TES in terms of mechanics and gameplay, and much more generic fantasy MMO.
Now, I've heard that there will be no cooldowns, and the class system barely means anything, and that the controls and combat are just like skyrim, and a great many other things. I hope it's all true. However, anyone who has watched the MMO scene for any length of time will know that companies love to promise the moon, and rarely do they deliver. To be fair, while I've had high hopes for this game, my expectations have remained low since Bethesda themselves couldn't even be bothered to make the game themselves. Generally when you see something like that happen, it's never a good thing.
Infuriating isn't it.Of course there are spells, of course there are hotbars. It's a freaking MMORPG, people!
