Hi,

So for a while I was on the fence about TESO, even before testing it out. It just didnt look like it would satisfy the MMO player in me, even though I like ES games. Also, watching the video from quakecon, I wasn't convinced about the combat and how it would work in an MMO and after playing the game myself I still am unconvinced that the combat is fluid and responsive enough to work in an MMO space. After the last beta, I was VERY unconvinced that it would work. I just could not find anything I liked combat wise(which to me is a driving point for a game and one of the first things I look at).

Since, I have read posts and stories of people that LOVED TESO and got lost in the betas and couldn't put it down. Some others that were non-belivers turned believers(not beliebers!), saying they hated the game now they really like it..the game grew on them especially after 10 levels. Some said that you cannot look at the game as a pure traditional MMO where its lots of fast killing (because I didn't see alot of it, I only saw lots of "go talk to NPC here" quests).

Also since the last beta, I watched a video of a guy that went pure sorcerer, and it actually looked really FUN. So I am anxious to try that out. However, it doesn't bode well for the impression I got of the game where I can build any character playstyle I wanted...because I tried to go a stealthy greatsword guy, but that felt really wierd. I do have a feeling that in order to be effective we will be cornered into run of the mill archetypes.

So...as the title says, share with me your good experiences with the game. Or, try to tell me why you are looking forward to it, why I should give it a try(even though no one can TELL you), etc.. Looking for some positive feedback and commentary of the game. Maybe that'll get me even more excited for another beta, if there is one... Because right now, MMO wise it is between TESO, Wildstar and WoW xpac...

Thanks for the stories and feedback!

dont see why we need to convince you. As for myself i will be playing, and believe this will be my last mmo.

Well for me i like the fact that the team that is making ESO is listing to there fans an making changes.I also like that they brought in celebrities to voice some of the NPCS.

To me, it's the mix of things. I like the ES series, and its lore is one of the only ones I ever seem to care just an inkling about.

Furthermore I like the MMO genre a lot, and this game seems to take some things I liked from AoC with some things I liked from TSW and mix them up while rethinking stuff on the way.

I really like the grade of "realism" in the game world, and how it sort of looks like a battlefield in Cyrodiil. That, and this game has given me an urge to explore and take my time. I usually play with a power leveling crowd, but not this time.

I haven't played beyond level 10, but I played a lot of different characters, and I think my favorite moment was probably when I first hand, for the first time, saw how effective the stealth melee attack was. I was like, weeeee.

If you're a big mmo fan and loving WoW, I can't see how this game would offer anything different or unique. Unless you're looking for that 'TES paintjob mmo' vibe, then for sure, I think you'll dig it!

At some point you've just got to laugh at yourself when you say this no? I mean how can you even say that with a straight face? or maybe you forget to use [/sarcasm] tags?

Quakecon was a long, long time ago. Look up ForceStrategyGaming on YouTube for their recent videos to get the most update video. It is way better.
And I say no to the TESO
And yes to ESO

I also want to hear enjoyment stories...good stuff that you've experienced in the game.
