So Elder Scroll Online use the Skyrim engine?

[[NGNS-SWE] ⚡ Quezkatolen ⚡]

Just played for a few hours, in the skyrim region as a nord - I had 30-80 framerates in dungeons/open world with 20-30+ people around me.
Dungeons use the same textures, houses as well, but the ground is less detailed in the online version. Characters look similiar, but a bit more detailed.

Anyway, what im trying to say is - Elder Scrolls online play just like Skyrim does, and it supports mods (you have a mod option in-game if you wanna activate them)

Oh and the game is only 29 gb big, or rather the BETA is.

looks like skyrim!

Yes. I wonder if say running from Solitude to Windhelm will take approx as long in ESO as it does in Skyrim. To be honest I am most interested in revisiting Cyrodiil in ESO, but it won't be fun if they crunch it down to nothing. It's understandable given they are doing about 10 times the world they've been doing so far but would kill the nostalgia. Though a stretched out world where you don't see creatures, NPCs, points of interest and other players while running around is even worse =p

Btw, please distinguish between something being outlawed, illegal and something breaking an agreement. Yes some of you agreed on it, and Beth, can even call it a contract, but while contracts are honoured by law, breaking them is not illegal and doesn't make you a criminal.

Sure though try not to upload stuff on youtube and such. Don't need to anyway there's plenty as is haha I'm watching atm. Still looks like a typical MMO in terms of combat and no longer TES. Too bad. Just saw a footage of some guy just standing inside a large boss, glitched out together by the no collision stuff and just mechanically whacking with a sword as if it were Morrowind again.

nathan, add me to friends ;) lets forget this thread.

And no Nathan, I am assuming ESO world will be much bigger, I am asking and wondering whether the Skyrim region in ESO will be about as big as the Skyrim region in TES5. And if not then what scale would it be. If Skyrim suddenly becomes half it's size and now Falkreath and Riverwood are 5 steps away, I won't be too impressed, even if the whole of the world is large.

That is why several areas won't be explorable upon release, and why they are attempting to go with a subscription model so they can add more areas as time goes on. At least that is the theory.

[Nogamertag0666]

well you think you can explore all at first but as you level up im gussing you can explore more places

Disclaimer: I do not have beta access to The Elder Scrolls Online.

I believe the game engine is still based on Bethesda's Creation Engine, their own in-house engine, unlike previously used Gamebryo[www.gamebryo.com] engine, used in Fallout 3 and Oblivion.

Haha you don't need to put a disclaimer on that xD But heck I do enjoy this I can talk about the beta all I want there is no agreement binding me. Heck I can download the footage from youtube that others uploaded and rip it then possibly make a review out of it =D No agreement to bind me and it's fair use. Granted youtube would still delete it after a single unreasonable outside of law claim but still, funny concept.

Are you kidding? I just played for half hour and I had to stop because this game bored the heck out of me. There is nothing like skyrim not even close to oblivion. The cambat is awful its just basically MMO no difference than other MMOs, you can auto lock on your enemy so in cambat you basically just repeatedly click your mouse. Bows are even worse, you can't do distance shot, no, sorry, no more stealhy long shot. It makes no difference how long you draw your bow you always do the same damage, so..you basicially just need to repeatedly click your mouse just like other MMOs. And I don't even want to mention those terrible animations. Skills system is exactly average MMO layout, you get a skill point you unlock your skill, then bind it to the hotkey then you freaking spam it, except the skills you spam are sorted under categories of bow, one handed, two handed, light/heavy armor etc. Textures are fine, graphics on characters are good but that is the only thing worth mentioning. Lightings are terrible, really terrible, although some of the textures are good but the likghting just ruins everything. I cannot describe it well all I can say is it looks fake. For the most of locations the game looks like hight-re oblivion imho. Voice acting, dialog options, plot, I found them pretty average. Also, you CANT take everything, in fact you can't take anything, you see a large sack lying on a shelf can you can't search it. You can't take some junk like tankart or wood plate no nothing. The only things you can take are those respawnable chests, urns which you always find them empty of course someone will take it first. Overall this game took me half an hour to be comepletly bored and sleepy I say its totally a rip off its just an average MMO maybe a little little bit close to elder scroll. Bethesda should be shame to get this game marked as a part of TES series.

Mmm I was worried about the combat when I saw the gameplays... Ah well.

But I don't really care if it's part of TES, it's more of a side spin-off of it, successful or not won't change it. Like the way WOW doesn't really feel like part of Warcraft. I do hope though that there will still be a singleplayer TES6 developed, and maybe they can add a 2 person co-op or something there.

so what you saying the whole place if just as big as skyrim when exploring?

I don't remember if its illegal to upload in-game map pictures...

Its not *illegal*, it is, however, most lilkely a violation of the beta NDA (which would make it a tort).
