Why we love TES and have an emotion attachment to it

Post » Thu Feb 13, 2014 10:53 pm

This video is pretty old, and possibly seen by everyone here already but I really feel like it brings to light a lot of what makes the Elder Scrolls a game that really inspires. From what I've seen and heard about the Beta I think a lot of the direction that bethesda has gone in is what is suggested here, and as a result, I think that TESO can have that magic and immersive feeling again. This is especially true for details like wayshrines, where the actual act of teleporting around the map is acceptable, provided it is explained within the rules and confines of the world. I hope that for other features, like the dungeon finder (and the teleportation to other factions dungeons once you have completed your factions own for that level; revealed on a shoddycast interview btw) can be equally explained and that the detail of story and lore remains focused.

Anyway for those of you who care about the elder scrolls and want a more detailed and informed reason of why it is you may care so much, take a look; it's worth the time it takes to watch the video

*EDIT I don't have permision to post links, so for those of you who want to watch the video, search

I think we all know why we love elder scrolls I know I do, I love Elder Scrolls cause ever since I was 5 years old I have been in love with being the hero and real Magic, My parents used to always say you grew up in the wrong century, while other kids were playing video games I learned how to use a sword (no joke) my family home is in Toledo Spain and my family comes from a long line of Spanish Royal Blacksmiths, I also hated being inside as akid I wandered the streets from morning to night on my school days off being a regular street urchin and I loved it, so consequently the Elder Scrolls fits me perfectly

Ooh, I like how he explains immersion in a world that doesn't exist.
Seemed to really drag on, I agree with some of the things he said, however
I still have faith in Bethesta not to [censored] the bed.
I didn't like the StoryLines in Oblivion as much as Morrowind or Skyrim, which made sense when he was talking about it.
Can't make a bland game, the creative genius which started this series in the first place should be milked and nurtured.
