Elder Scrolls Online Are Really Elder

ESO information continues to trickle out. Just read today's article on GameInformer. where they talk about the first player faction, the Daggerfall Covenant. From the description it's likely the faction I'll play. Always like playing Bretons.

My feelings remain ambivalent towards exploring/exploiting the wondful ES lore in an MMO. The whole "centuries before any of the single-player games" thing does create a safety net. It allows the designers to put in references to all the previous games. Yet so many other IPs have done that. It would have been more interesting to see them integrating everything and moving two centuries into the future.

The initial shit storm was pretty harsh as most people have come to expect a certain level of graphic quality that will be unrealistic in an MMO. Most of the damage control and expectation leveling seems to have worked. Have to wait and see what comes out of E3.
