I’ve watched this video interview a couple times now, and I only have two things to say about it:
I’m just going to stop whining about the game itself and start whining about other stuff: This guy’s office is too damned clean and I don’t trust it. The one poster in the background that isn’t in a frame really bothers me. There needs to be more clutter on his desk. That glass of water looks out of place. Dat rubbish bin.
I have no idea what this guy even said aside from the word ‘assets’ about 15 times within the same sentence.
Just going to be a little nitpicky here: Elswyer was formed in the Second Era (2E309, to be precise) from the states of Anequina and Pellitine. The Aldmeri Dominion literally had nothing to do with either of those states until the Fourth Era, when Elswyer broke back up into those exact two states under Thalmor influence.
Why are the Khajiit in the Aldmeri Dominion faction in this game? Why? ಠ________ಠ
1) “But no one knows what happened in the Second Era, because no one has experienced that in the game.”
It’s called Redguard. It takes place in 2E864 and was released in 1998. Cyrus is the best character and Redguard was pretty damned good/lore important. (Fun fact: Redguard is the only TES game in which a living Sload shows up.
2)”When you’re in our version of Cyrodiil, you really feel at home.”
Cyrodiil was a jungle in the Second Era. If it was going to be lore accurate, it wouldn’t feel like home. Just going to point that out.
3) “Todd Howard is the Elder Scrolls guy.”
Asdjkalsdalksdjasljdhasidajkll this is why the lore is going to be destroyed, man. Kirkbriiiiiiiide.
4) This guy is from the Dark Age of Camelot project. I knew there was a reason the two looked so much alike so far. I am still uncertain as to how I feel about this.
Elder Scrolls Online trailer. You know, I know it’s going to be bad. The leaked screenshots look like it’s the unholy spawn of Morrowind, Dark Age of Camelot, and a whole hell of a lot of tequila. It doesn’t even look like an Elder Scrolls game. And yet, I know for a fact that I’m going to play five-hundred-eight-majillion-porpskillion hours of it. I think that’s the worst part of this announcement.
“From Skyrim to Morrowind and everything in between.” …. so Oblivion. That’s cool. It’s not like there’s four other Elder Scrolls games (aside from the failed Travels games) that came before Morrowind or anything.
