Old. I think his review was pretty stock standard of most MMO's he's reviewed. Maybe a bit harsher than WoW or GW2.

The Khajiit in Arena are of the Ohmes breed, and in Daggerfall they're Ohmes-raht.  The lore checks out!

All other TES games, however, like to sweep that lore under the rug. Mostly because it is disturbing to think about a mountain lion birthing what is clearly a human child and having such a thing based on the phase of the moon.

Ohmes don't resemble humans. They resemble Bosmers. Although their description in Arena is rather strange, claiming the feline-like breeds are but a legend.

Khajiit hail from the province of Elsweyr. They are a fair skinned people who are extremely hardy, intelligent, and agile. Legend has it that they descended from an intelligent feline race, for they still retain a strange cast to their features. Many Khajiit have taken to painting their faces to more resemble their distant cousins

Lore lore lore.
Ohmes-raht only resemble humans from a distance due to their size and stature, but they have tails and short fur all over their bodies.

Someone is a furry.

Lore is an important study.  Don't diminish that with your argument ad furries.

Okay, guys, it turns out the game is actually good, stop saying it's bad.  You hipsters.

[Particle Person]

What a terrible article. He's just saying repeatedly that he likes the game, without ever explaining why. Also, MMO failtrolls.

Apparently there are sentient crows in TESO:

Very amusing, but I can't help but notice how the Duke tells you that you're totally the first to fulfill the "toll" and be allowed to enter their mysterious land of crows.  Way to ignore your MMO setting yet again, ZeniMax.  This is the worst clashing of gameplay and story that I've ever seen in a video game.  They're deliberately calling attention to the existence of other players and directly telling you that it doesn't make any sense!

[Particle Person]

It's as if the game was developed entirely by MMO failtrolls.

[DuckDodgers]

I found that dungeon during one of the beta tests.  It isn't exactly a secret place, it's even marked on the map.

At least WoW bothers to admit in quest storylines that "oh, you're like the 500th guy I've hired to kill these fucking wolves, why are there so many goddamn many of them?"

It doesn't though. There's like 1 quest in the game that makes meta jokes about questing, and there's hundreds of quests along the lines of "Wow you totally saved everyone you're the hero of the world".

Although WoW doesn't give a shit about lore beyond raids, and even then it's flimsy.

What? As far as I remember nearly every quest I did constantly referenced multiple heroes. Even the raid quest lore talks about how it took multiple people to do a specific task (i.e. kill Arthas etc.).

Na. Solo quests largely pretend you're in your own world, unless they're a group quest where all of a sudden other heroes exist to the NPC's. Raid lore goes how you said though, Arthas/Deathwing/whatever were defeated by a 'bunch of heroes' with the help of Tirion/Thrall/whatever.

[Ghost of V]

Rushy, it also depends on when you played WOW. Almost all the quests in the game were rebooted after Cataclysm. Now every quest makes you feel like you're the saving the world singlehandedly.

There are even pseudo-cutscenes now, and I believe there are a few completely instanced quests now as well.

[Pete Svarrior]

I believe there are a few completely instanced quests now as well.

Sadly true. I miss the time when this wasn't the case so often - fucking the opposing faction up by killing their long and annoying escort quest never gets old.

People that kill quest givers have a special place in hell.

[beardo]

you can kill quest givers?

[Vindictus]

In most places. Some quest givers have invulnerability or are too hard to kill, in newer leveling zones. But older ones don't have that.

[Saddam Hussein]

It's one thing to simply not acknowledge the presence of other players; it's another to tell you that they aren't there.  Does WoW - or any other MMO, really - do that?

[Vongeo]

I canceled playing it cuz no time and then they sent me a survey on what they could do better.

Yeah, constantly. "Please collect me 10 bear asses because no one else can do it like you can, hero!" while 3 other people are handing over their 10 bear asses.
