No, but seeing as how this was the stress test phase they gave a key to everyone and their mother.


In other news, I've got to say I like how they did the classes. Classes just determine your special abilities, there is nothing stopping you from being a mage that runs around in heavy armor and uses a broadsword. Every class has the ability to use every armor and weapon, at least so far. There might be class-specific items later on.

For a bunch of people that talk and talk about ESO lore, you guys sure aren't interested in playing the damn game.  >:(
We talk about TES lore. Not strictly ESO lore.

I can't remember if I've asked this before, but have they made a statement to confirm that they'll still be making single-player Elder Scrolls games at its regular pace?

I wouldn't expect ZeniMax Online Studios to make a singleplayer TES game, especially since Bethesda is likely already working on one.

Oh, I thought Bethesda was working on it to some extent as well.

For ESO, Bethesda is the publisher. Zenimax is the studio.

The Bethesda studio works on single player games.

Bethesda Softworks is publishing the game. Bethesda Game Studios makes singleplayer games. There's a very important distinction!!!

Of course, that doesn't mean that the higher-ups won't be saying to Todd Howard something like "Well, we're taking care of the fantasy market with that Elder Scrolls MMO, so you guys should just work on a different IP now."

Sounds very plausible Saddam, especially considering that the last single player TES game is one of the best selling videogames of all time, and ESO has been received very critically so far.

15:30   Saddam   Do you think TESO will manage to fuck up Morrowind's lore?
15:31   beardo   What a question
15:31   Saddam   Because the Tribunal and Great Houses and whatnot are going to be featured
15:31   Saddam   For example, maybe we'll see Vivec, and he'll have this whiny voice actor and come across as a complete fa...I mean, loser
15:32   beardo   If Vivec had the Oblivion Mer voice, I'd totally kill him.
15:33   Saddam   I don't know why they switched voice actors like that
15:33   Saddam   It's not like the guy died or anything
15:33   Saddam   Bethesda just needs to give Jim Cummings more roles
15:33   Saddam   That guy has mad skillz
15:33   beardo   Jiub Jiub Jiub
15:34   Tintagel   I'm just going to pretend TESO doesn't exist.
15:34   Saddam   lore lore lore
15:34   Saddam   Pretend it doesn't exist all you want, but Bethesda considers it lore!
15:34   Saddam   They will ruin all the single-player games!
15:35   Saddam   Like, they'll come up with a shitty origin story
15:35   Saddam   All the Daedra were aliens from the planet Zeist
15:35   Saddam   Something like that
15:35   Saddam   Or all the Mer were
15:36   beardo   TURNS OUT THE DIVINES ARE ACTUALLY ALIENS
15:36   beardo   AND THE DAEDRA ARE BAD ALIENS
15:36   Saddam   Yes
15:36   Blanko   On the notion of CHIM
15:37   Saddam   ZeniMax is going all over the place on that one
15:37   Saddam   On the one hand, of course they're not going to make Cyrodil a jungle
15:37   Saddam   But on the other hand, they're frightened of pissing off the fanboys even more
15:38   Saddam   I think their latest explanation is that CHIM somehow applied to the past as well as the future
15:38   Saddam   No, I don't get it either
15:38   Saddam   Apparently it will be explained in more detail in the game
