The Elder Scrolls Online [Beta]

Elder Scrolls Online [Beta]

This is the symbol for ESO. It represents three groups attempting to take control of Cyrodil. What's interesting is that your Race determines which force you are on, making race choice an important feature.

My character

Loading screens are stunning pictures of the landscapes of your next location.

Animals

This is a Bull Netch. Like many other animals it is large, unusual and rather cool looking. Their eggs can also be used as a Netch spawning weapon.

This is a base of operations inside a tree. Nuff said.

Questing

Questing is similar to many other Elder Scroll games; There are bajillions and some of them have multiple options. This game makes sure that all quests are rewarding.

New environments

Big mushrooms are commonly found in certain places. (Windmill for scale)

Equip system

The system for Equipping items has had a great speed boost from Skyrim, which unfortunately warrants the removal of the favorite weapons feature.

Fighting

After bashing an enemy, you might get a message saying left click to exploit. This pushes the enemy down giving a larger opportunity to strike.

A great new addition to the gameplay are the squares at the bottom of the screen. Each square can be given a special move, which is used by a number key. These moves are unlocked and upgraded by points given for leveling up. The first two moves are stabs which are good for assassination. The third move absorbs your enemy's life, and the fourth one allows you to teleport to your target and instantly strike. The fifth one causes you to duck and strike which usually stuns the opponent.
