Jut noticed this game existed and that we had a 30 page mmo circle jerk bout it. Honestly why didn't we just take the SWTOR thread and switch the name?
Does it bother anyone else that they changes the elder scroll elves to be prettier?

You are mistaken. 25 of those pages have been spent making fun of the mole.

But .. ingame would give you an idea about what the game was actually like??

No Argonians, Khajit, or Orcs. It was pretty, but just another trailer with humans and elves.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

Can't we just enjoy and appreciate a good CGI trailer for what it is? Hell I know I enjoyed the SWTOR trailers more than the game.

The cg itself was nicely done but again, meh. It wasn't gameplay, it didn't feature anything but pretty people doing pretty things and was a complete non-story.

Having never played an Elder Scrolls anything, that trailer was a snoozer that had entirely too much grey layered on top of grey.
What was supposed to be happening there?

Wulfgar and Drizzt were going on a dungeon romp through undead werewolves, while high above Entari assaulted a keep held by elves. As Entari and the head Elf-Witch performed a staredown, Wulfgar climbed out of the sewers and turned it into a three-way. Fade to black. Bow-chikka-bow-wow.

No. They exist only to cloud the issues and fog the mind.

It was good as fantasy fighting porn but had almost nothing to do with the elder scrolls. The one thing it tried to allude to, the three factions, didn't even work very well. I had to rewatch it to figure out the last 'hero' type guy isn't another elf.
So the defenders were empirical but they aren't actually part of any of the factions?

Yeah the Empire is the non-player universal badguy group apparently. Which makes me , I almost always play an Imperial in these games.

At least there was a dwarf! also I think there is an argonian at the very beginning after the nordwarf kicks down the wall, but he subsequently transforms into a dark elf so

After doing a cursory overview of the game's established lore making a three-way faction thing happen, I have come to the conclusion that the Ebonheart Pact represents two things
- The point at which you realize lore has gone beyond simply being massaged to fit a gameplay premise - The "And that left us with three remaining races so they are an alliance now" alliance

Factions make no sense. They just sort of sprinkled the 'evil' races around, each faction is absurd.
And where was there a dwarf? If there are any dwarves they would be in an expansion and be the end raid tier. There was a norn.

But everyone knows that three factions make everything perfect, which is why DAOC has been the most popular MMO ever since launch.

It reminds me a lot of the WAR trailer now that I think about it. That was a good trailer. Shame about the game.

Found this interesting tidbit in a recent Matt Firor interview.( http://www.3news.co.nz/Elder-Scrolls-Online-interview---Matt-Firor/tabid/418/articleID/284162/Default.aspx) Not sure these numbers have been stated so plainly before: The 'Introduction to Elder Scrolls Online' video (embedded above) has a massive PvP siege battle which looks like hundreds or even thousands of soldiers facing off against each other. Is a battle of this magnitude actually possible in the game, made up of human players?
Every one of the figures in that video was a human player. We got all of our devs into the game for a PvP test, and then captured that sequence with them. It was all in-game. Cyrodiil (the PvP map) is open-world and supports up to 2000 players in it at the same time. ESO’s client is designed to be able to handle (on the recommended spec) 200 players on screen at the same time. That particular scene had about 115 players on each side.

I wonder if it will run like Relic Raids did in DAOC. I remember slideshowing my way through a few of those on follow with some bard.
