It would be cool if there was a guide included with the game. A guide with help for all the quests, shows where quests are. Shows what are the best options for your character, etc...

Problem with guides for MMOs, they become outdated very quickly and you end up spending the same money again and again with each 'updated edition'

Not to mention any guide written prior to release might also contain stuff that was removed as a result of beta feedback or be absent stuff that was added for the same reasons.

It could just be the basic stuff. The basics don't change very often.

This is not the kind of game where you should be reading a guide to get through it. I would be sad if I saw this game come with a guide.

Explore, Experiment, Immerse.

internet, combined with constant updates/changes that mmo′s get kind of makes paperguides worthless, better wait for someone to create esohead or whatever

There will be wiki's / web sites for guilds anyways, no need for ZOS to waste time and money on making them. It is more fun for players to learn about the game ingame then reading about it -- on SOME quests on any given game, one might need a little help in figuring them out.
