Zenimax spoke about variety from which we can choose and build lots of *cough* unique *cough* builds.
What we now have is ONE MIN-MAXED BUILD PER CLASS - that IS ONE PREFERED BUILD PER CLASS. That means 4 EFFICIENT BUILDS IN TOTAL! *
* quoting Foundry and talks with Veterans.
...where all other builds are not comparable.
Wait, could we have forseen this? Wasn't this previously in other MMOs aswell, promising skill-variety?
Yes, I would give this game at least one month of my life if you could pick at least one 2nd class when hitting 50. For example Sorcerer ontop of a Nightblade, or Templar ontop of a DK. You name it.
But being limited in this way? Seeing at a certain point only those 4 builds + maybe 2-3 others in PvP and that is IT? I am nowhere on earth seeing why I should invest into this. I am currently so happy that I have not yet pre-ordered.
Why are they launching in less to 1 month already? There is so much that needs to be addressed and here we will find yet another example of unpolished greediness that drags itself down in less than 3 months. How very, very sad. And with it the entire TES franchise.
Humanity has a tendency to ruin everything that was once good.. like children, never knowing when to stop until they hit a wall. Very few examples right here in the gaming section that have proven different. I can only think of the Witcher or... Dark Age of Camelot. Well we will see about the next DAoC.
Anyway, I really need to dig HARD on ESO to buy it - and that should never be the case
