Off Topic Discussion Megathread

I know it's fairly solo friendly, but in the instances where you might want to party with other people, how 'required' is it to actually be able to communicate with them?

About as needed as any mmorpg really, Cyrodill PvP might necessitate more depending on how involved you'd want to get though. I really only played it to do the exploration and story content personally, so I don't have much experience with high-end PvE.

I'll say that the combat in ESO can be pretty clunky, though - FFXIV is much smoother and more polished on that front.

All in all, if you played one of the single player Elder Scrolls games and liked it then you'll probably feel the same way about ESO.

The combat is actual trash. It's SO bad. The combat is literally like bad Oblivion. I know some people won't play it simply due to not liking the combat. Graphics also kind of suck. The models and animations can look pretty bizarre.

The game doesn't lack for things to do, which is a good thing I suppose. Cyrodill PvP is nice if you are into that kind of thing. I don't like it at all. Same with the cheese builds people would use in PvP which pretty much ruin BGs (or whatever they are called). I personally like the single player ES games much more (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim), but if you are an Elder Scrolls fan in general, then it's fairly nice. Lore is alright as long as you don't think too much about it.
