So what will suck the most? TESO, NWN or DAOC2? I really can't decide they all seem to be developed so poorly.
Its a fucked up world where FFXIV might end up being the best game of that bunch.
NWN will be the best of the three by far. It's a simple game, but it's actually not bad for a little mindless fun. DAoC2 won't get made, so TESO wins the suck contest by default.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

I'd switch those two for my tastes. I'm invested enough in Elder Scrolls lore enough* that I could enjoy a mediocre product if it was given to me as a gift. For, like, a month. NWN isn't cutting it, I don't think.
But, no, DAOC2 is soooooo not getting made. Mark Jacobs would ruin it, anyways.
*I'm really not rooting for TESO to fail. REALLY really. I don't really root for too many games to fail. I love Elder Scrolls. A well-done TESO would have me for years. This isn't it.

NO NO NO! I want this game to be wonderful. I love Bethesda games and I want it to be funny like Fallout New Vegas, too. I am heartbroken. I know, I should have read the rest of this thread because it's already a million years old but I only recently got something in the mail about a beta. And what about The Evil Within? Is that going to be4 awful, too? God, I hope not. The trailer looks so fucking good and very very ceepy. Like Silent Hill creepy.
Ok. Panic attack over. At least tomorrow is Kush Day and a reason to celebrate God and Nature.

I still have some hope for the game. Unless things have changed or I grossly misinterpreted things I read a while ago, I like how they're approaching PvP. Higher levels won't necessarily be able to steamroll lower levels. Sure, there will be an advantage but several lowbies have the chance to take down a higher level. That's what I hate about WOW. I like the idea of world PvP but I don't like that a 90 can just roll up and curb stomp a 30. What's the fun in that? I've never felt the need to massacre players far below my level as it just seems unfair. I'd be happy with either the level range that EQ had for PvP or the direction that TESO seems to be taking with level scaling.
Of course I could be completely wrong in my assumptions as I usually am. I'll still be giving the game a serious look as I'm a sucker for anything Elder Scrolls. Arena hooked me in '94 and Daggerfall sealed the deal in '96.

WTF am I talking about then? Fuck me! I've gone insane! Bethesda released New Vegas, but it was developed by Obsidian. You know, the guys that made Kotor 2, NWN 2 (and in a former life: Fallout 1 and 2). Everything is alright, no need to worry!

True. Everyone else gets to worry and I have a feeling I be one of the sort who wanders off.

It's weird. Up until a few years ago, I knew everything that was going on with games, especially MMOs. I even knew a lot of the people making them. Now, I don't bother finding out anything except how to play them and whether or not people here say it's good. I still know a lot of the people making them but I know them mostly in a non-game way. The two years or so I spent not playing games at all has made me game-dumb.

I finally got around to actually reading about this game (and not just ingesting snark from the forums).
Judging by the website, this IS Daoc2- I had no idea the game was pvp-centered at all. The website really plays up the three-faction pvp, "become the emperor through pvp" angle.

Not trying to snark you, but that is really old news. Literally first page of this thread.

Nobody reads threads when they are only a page long. They generally aren't worth the trouble until at least page 20.

Yep. Mark Jacobs' attempt at Camelot Unchained is likely to be too little, too late if Bethesda can manage to make ESO a hit.

If they do realm wars at least semi close to Daoc it will be a hit for a certain segment of the population.

I think Nebu declaring his dead interest speaks volumes on that fact.

I would rather play a vaporware Kickstarter abomination from Mark Jacobs than try to deal with the combat mechanics in this game in a PvP situation. Does that make my stance clearer?

To the best of my knowledge it got yanked. Perhaps someone has another link?

Let me set the scene for you: Visualize graphics, gameplay and interface similar to WoW circa 2005 only browner and less interesting.

No, it makes less sense than that. Guy had to target when running forward but running backward/ facing away everything was auto-aim/ tab-target hit chance.
