Elder Scrolls Online: 2013

Here's Kotaku's list of five things they want to see in the Elder Scrolls Online game.

Not entirely sure where they got their info, as I may just be very tired, but here's RPS pile of info they've supposedly gleaned about the game.

Depending on your perspective, there's a lot of good or bad. Sounds like it wont have the kind of class creation system that the Elder Scrolls is so famous for, and factions are a rigid thing dividing races. Mega-boo to all that rubbish.

Check out the article itself here, make up your own mind about the info.

While squabbling and warring with one another. So you’ve got your nords, dark elves and argonians in the Ebonheart Pact, high elves, wood elves and khajiit in the Aldmeri Dominion, and bretons, redguards and orcs in the Daggerfall Covenant.

Bleh, I don't like the races being split up like that. There's no need to divide the player population in three, it's going to make it so unbalanced.

I really hope that those factions only apply to PvP. If players can't join groups and such with people of other factions, that three-way-split is going to make the game utterly unplayable for me and make me lose total interest.

Yeah...I want like...skyrim but with other people. Like go through town, sit in the tavern and find out this guy just took out a blood dragon, that chick's about to brawl with the bard and I just got to tell my story about making it out of a vamp's nest alive.

Trying to get your friends to play but having to say "well you can only choose one of these 3 races otherwise we can't play together" is super freaking limiting.

Edit - Basically I'm looking for something like this addon I heard about early on, where you could see your friend's toons in game and even chat with them, but you each were still off doing your own epic adventure. Yes a little more grouping up possibilities will be cool too, but otherwise like everyone else, I love this game unrestrained!

Here's a collection of the screenshots and art that were leaked. Hard to find at the moment, because Game Informer stupidly has first-release rights and most other legit sites wont break that out of fear.

Not liking the graphical style judging by the screenshots. They look very basic. I suppose that's part of the plan, to let the game be run on just about any PC, but I run a big honkin' gaming-PC. I want better.

The graphics are duller than what I expected after seeing Skyrim.
