TESO vs Skyrim?

Skyrim if you want better combat, better story, more in depth questing.
TESO if you want something multiplayer and understand that it is not an Elder Scrolls game.

Played both(Skyrim/TESO). I took part in the BETA of TESO and played after release.

First things first, trying to compare an MMO to a Singleplayer RPG is a bit hard to do.

However, I'll always pick Skyrim 100% of the time, simply put, Zenimax dropped the ball. First impressions count, and even if they completely started from scratch(Obviously they won't), my interest for this has been squandered. My trust in Zenimax to deliver a REAL Elder Scrolls product and not some half-baked attempt at an MMO. Which is sad, I had real high hopes for this game. I tried my best to overlook the glaring issues, I WANTED to love this game with all my heart, but damn it fights me every step.

I've played all of the TES games, and I've played ESO. The games are different and they were always meant to be different. They have different developers and there are things that you can do in a single-player game that just don't work in an MMO (and vice versa).

The game does have an excellent crafting system compared to most MMOs. It has weak banking, inventory, and auction house systems, but they have slowly been improving. That said, you should certainly look towards Add-Ons to get some features that probably should have been part of the core game from the start (I strongly recommend http://www.esoui.com/addons.php ). I do enjoy combat, but be aware that some of the solo boss battles do require very specific tactics (kind of like mini dungeon boss battles). At later levels, they can be quite challenging if you don't figure out what to do. I absolutely love the public dungeons -- they remind me a great deal of my experiences with Befallen in EQ at times. And there are other events that remind me a little bit of the Rifts from Rift but with less variety (unfortunately).

I have not yet gotten to Veteran levels (I'm an altaholic), but I understand some of the issues with that, and there's already been changes slowly filtering in to convert that to a different system and to introduce late-game combat that is more similar to early game content.

It's not the 'greatest game ever', it's flawed, but it's still a lot of fun.

Morrowind or Oblivion are better than either of the games mentioned in the topic title.

You are comparing two different species here, gtfo.

Skyrim is a streamlined, n00b version of Bethesda's great RPG prowess where as ESO is a massive, heavily financed MMO.

But then why does ESO look like a cheap Skyrim knockoff?

I played the beta didn't really like it. You could pretty much smell skyrim's infuence in ESO but everything in it was kinda just bland, the combat was pretty silly (No collision), the quests were rather MMO-i (Kill a x amount of dudes) and the character creation and advancement was so stripped down it actually hurt.

So if you want a rather avarage MMO get ESO but if you want a proper RPG get Morrowind or if you really have to get something newer: Skyrim.

Just a little fyi, things have improved since the beta. Not only does the combat have collision now, but the quest variety has improved.

That said it's very diffucult to directly compare a single player RPG to an MMORPG, as they are structured completely differently. If you simply want a great gameplay experience I say go for the single player game (Skyrim in this case, but don't limit yourself to only the latest TES game). If you want a fun experience with a group of friends then a MMORPG would be a better choice (that said ESO isn't well known for it's connectivity). As with all games, just due dilagence.

TBH comparing the two would be like comparing a BMW 4 series (Skyrim) to a city bus (ESO). They both get you to where you want to go..........but which do you really prefer?

[Itharius]

Skyrim, ofc.

Especially with nudity/sex mods, so you can have a virtual waifu while you slay dragons.

I'd rather play morrowind than ESO again.

... Everyone should have this attitude, Morrowind is a great game.

Streamers like shoddycast on twitch and youtube, who dedicated more than a year, doing a full, two times a week coverage of the development of ESO + years of developing the TES lore series, they stoped talking, stoped streaming and playing ESO to get back and replay skyrim..

Only if, that does mean anything to you...

why people don't undesteand that singleplayer and MMO and two different things? almost all hatred against TESO is from players that played it thinking they were in a singleplayer game with a multiplayer DLC ^^

So true. I only wish Zenimax understood this. Then maybe we might have some multiplayer in this MMO instead of it being an online single player game.

There is the kicker, why do you think bethesda have not lowered the price the old TES games here on steam or on other retailers to 80 and 90% after the ESO launch as it was before, they knew the game was going to be sort of a fail, there is why they charge so much for the initial imperial edition... just in case things go wrong...

Theres no comparison. Skyrim is a way better game overall.

To be fair, they aren't quite in the same genre. A better comparison would be TESO to Wildstar or Fallen Earth.
