Be ensorcelled by this Elder Scrolls Online dev diary, delivered by real life Loremaster

First and foremost, I think being a ‘lead loremaster’ would be amazing. Lawrence Schick, on top of that, looks like he belongs in a mage’s tower keeping the records and annuls of Tamriel in order. Look at him! What a dude.

Anyway, you should look at him, in this video in which he talks about the larger story behind The Elder Scrolls Online, specifically the power vacuum in Cyrodiil, the factions vying for position in that vacuum, and their reasons for doing so. It’s all very interesting, particularly if you were the type to pick up and read every one of those fluffy books in Skyrim.

Even if you weren’t, it’s interesting to check out and decide what faction you’ll be part of and why. Do you believe the elves should retake their rightful place in the White Gold Tower? Do you feel that the daedric forces in Cyrodiil must be stopped? Or do you believe a human must be in power for peace to prosper?

Even if you’re not interested in the game or any of that faction business — Look at this guy! He is a wizard!

Ebonhart-argonian Can’t wait to make a lizard man, am a little worried how they will make an mmo feel like an elder scrolls game tho.

 

It’s an MMO, everything is secondary to gameplay and lastability and they better remember it. I’m sure someone is going to pop in here and rage at me about how “this one is going to be different” or “they know what they’re doing” but I don’t remember being wrong about an MMO in the last decade.

Gameplay is all that matters, anything else is just fluff and needs to ENHANCE the play or it’s just a waste of time.

This was reassuring to me.

 

I can’t help it but it feels too much like WoW but with elder scroll theme and story
