ESO vs SWTOR

[sigina ✝]

Which one do you think is better?

[FTWO]

I play them both a lot. I'm a huge fan of Elder Scrolls Lore and huge fan of Star Wars Lore. Both games play incredibly different in every way. Both have key things that I like about them more than the other. But if I had to choose one I would favor more, it would be ESO. Reason for that is the end game content for ESO is far less of a headache than SWTOR is, in my opinion. When it comes to the fun factor of end game content, I enjoy ESO rather than SWTOR.

In terms of having an actual role playing feel, swtor for sure. I've played a lot more eso though overall. Both great games if you're a sub

The only thing I miss about SWTOR is the marriage system and companion stories, honestly.

There's a marriage system? Lol

[FTWO]

They are talking about the Companion romances when you talk to them socially as you quest. Eventually, with some Companions, you can marry.

Yes, you can date and marry one of your companions, and in the new update you can even leave them for another 🥺

[Faiza, Star Made Knight]

Imagine if you could date your favorite npc in ESO and give them gifts 🥺

I'd pick ESO over SWTOR tbh, just because endgame content seems so much more accessible in ESO.

Will be interesting to see what Ubisoft does with their Star Wars game. A Division-like pseudo MMO maybe, in the Star Wars setting? What might that look like? Could be real interesting...

I bring up The Division because apparently the game director from that game is heading up this new effort.

The Division is a looter shooter. A better example for Pseudo-MMO would be Destiny

Looter shooters like Division and Borderlands don't really have a shared world, and the only time you see other players is in safe areas or if you actively matchmake/ LFG for them.

Destiny is more MMO-like in that you can randomly come across other players during missions or while exploring/ patrolling an area. You could also argue that Destiny is a looter shooter, but the devs themselves prefer the MMO tag.

For gameplay, I prefer ESO (I don't like 3rd person at all). For immersion, I prefer SWTOR (ESO has only one character story regardless of your race/class, whereas SWTOR has 8 unique character stories for 8 classes, plus companion and romance quests; also, each planet has a unique Republic or Imperial story arc).

Housing: ESO offers more freedom and creativity, hands down. On the other hand, SWTOR lets you put tons of NPCs in your stronghold(s) to liven up the place.

Graphics: ESO looks better. What a difference two years makes in terms of hardware and engine advances.

Lore and Scope: both games are epic and on par. I actually prefer KOTOR 1, KOTOR 2, and SWTOR to the movies themselves.

Wow, I've 100% forgotten my keymap for SWTOR. Was reflexively trying to light attack 😆

[Diomedes]

ESO has better graphics. SWTOR is a better role-playing game.

[Big Daddy-Chan]

ESO imo. Tried the old republic and the gameplay felt like your typical MMO and I got bored after completing the tutorial. Just my opinion tho.

main story for ur character, and how you get the illusion of shaping the world around you, swtor is much better, and you have lots of class stories s well if ur into that solo experience and sw stuff.
Otherwise i spend more time in eso just doing more mmo type stuff. both are good games though. Although i feel you get more content for less in sw as you only have to pay for a sub once to get all the dlc even when ur sub runs out.
