Btw noticing you're a huge Bethesda fan like me. Enjoy, if you haven't already. ----> http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/05/03/june-cover-revealed-the-elder-scrolls-online.aspx
Basically the graphics engine needs to be clear crisp and as well as gritty as Skyrim's was. (Too many mmos go for cartoony looks) And the game play, as I said needs to be the same with only MILD changes if need be, in order for this game too be liked it must NOT conform to traditional mmo game play like locking on and clicking on abilities. It must feel like the others and be twitch based.
I agree, I'm mainly dissapointed that they're not waiting for next gen systems to make elsweyr. Deserts and tropical rainforests? That shits got to be on point for me to appreciate it, graphics wise :(
Congratulations Varn on conquering Skyrim now you can officially say "I used to be a adventurer till I got an arrow in the knee".
