Re: The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited
Hands-on from PAX: http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/09/03/pax-prime-2013-adjusting-butts-in-elder-scrolls-online/
NOTES
-added to character creation: the "posterior dimensions" slider. 8)
-you can scale the size of your UI
-game also includes auto-looting and hotbar fading
-seems like you can loot world objects a la other Elder Scrolls game - doesn't mention how this effects other players games though
-the /dance emote has been included!
-also: /drunkdance
-combat sounds even more solid/refined than at E3
-you can craft at campfires - assuming this means food - you have to learn the skill to use it
-one character can learn as many crafting skills as they choose (all or none)
-quest choices can effect NPC behaviour toward the player for the rest of the game
-some choices can even effect whether or not the NPC will ever appear to the player again in the game world: "for example, if she chose to let that NPCs family die -- the NPC will be replaced by a different NPC. The quest will be different, but the objectives will be the same. I should be able to seamlessly quest alongside my friends without worrying about having to make the same choices."
-find 3 Skyshards and you get a skill point and an achievement

Re: The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited
Despite the graphics being scaled back and character creation options minimized for beta the game plays really nicely, IMO. Bow & arrow combat is really smooth and feels just like Skyrim. Seems you have infinite arrows, too.. unless that's also a beta thing.
I was reading the thread for it on NeoGAF, and I swear to god sometimes that forum is the same thing as a YouTube comments section. It really blows my mind that so many people don't understand the purpose of a beta phase and that there is a reason the game doesn't look or play like the finished retail product.

Re: The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited
No one understands the term Beta anymore. They think its early release, not that it still is in testing. And this is why a lot of things from Beta that should've been taken care of don't. Instead of an issue being reported by Beta a bunch of testers, it is a small sample that do, therefore making it a possible outlier, instead of a critical issue.
It doesn't help that companies have treated Beta as early release and letting players keep their characters. If it truly is a Beta, wipe the damn thing when its over. Then have like a 3 day early start. Not make the Beta the early start, because that's stupid.

Re: The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited
Whelp, pre ordered today. GameStop apparently requires $25 down on all CE/LE versions...but well, figure if there's a CE to get this year, Elder Scrolls would be a good choice.

Re: The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited

Don't know how many people care/listen to Angry Joe, but here's a partial review of the beta version. Has a lot of gameplay footage.

Re: The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited
I DO think that they should do it F2P with subscription options (a la DCUO) though.
Feh, beta-builds are beta-builds. I'll hold out hope and reserve my judgement for the final product. Too many people with beta access cannot seem to fathom that it's not an early release demo.Flik said:
