As a sorcerer in ESO, I would sprint into battle casting Encase to trap my enemies in Daedric shards before bombarding them with Crystal Shard. ESO’s tight mechanics remind me of Diablo 3 where I would create a melange of skills to find the perfect combination for my monk. Furthermore, skills can be swapped out when not in combat.
While five hotkeys may seem limited, I never felt the need for more skills. It’s an engaging system that’s immensely satisfying once you're familiar, and combat becomes fast-paced and fluid. Or, sit back and use skills hotkeyed 1-5 and an ultimate attack bound to “R” to dish out damage. Given enough stamina, you can roll around enemies and chip away at their health. A dodging mechanic that drains stamina, similar to Guild Wars 2's endurance-based dodge, lets you roll out of harms way. Pressing both right and left-click simultaneously interrupts enemy attacks, a particularly useful skill when combatting casters.
Left-click swings your blade, right-click defends, and charging your light attack by holding left-click unleashes a heavy swing. Sir Twinkletoes the Sorcerer would collect moonsugar to fulfill his lifelong dream of operating a Skooma den.Įlder Scrolls Online’s foundation is an active combat system inspired by the single-player games. With a moustache to make every audience swoon, tattoos acquired while vacationing in Cancun, and a pot-belly stomach, my debonair character was complete. While some of those changes were difficult to ascertain at first-such as “Posterior Dimensions” referring to “gluteus maximus” (a slider I maxed out)-their nuances become apparent as you spin your character model. Various sliders allow you to make subtle changes to your character's body and face that add up to an avatar with a distinguished appearance. I chose to play a High Elf-male of course-due to their natural affinity for destructive spells and increased rate of magicka regeneration. They don’t necessitate a particular playstyle but do dictate racial abilities. The Aldmeri Dominion features the Altmer, Bosmer, and Khajiit the Daggerfall covenant is composed of the Bretons, Orsimer, and Redguards the Ebonheart Pact features the Nord, Dunmer, and Argonian races. So, if you plan to play with friends, you better coordinate. The race you choose to play determines your allegiance. The world of Elder Scrolls Online is fueled by a war between three factions vying for control of the Imperial City.
An open-ended skill system allows skill customization in line with other Elder Scrolls games, such as choosing to be a Sorcerer that wields a two-handed sword. Players choose between nine races and four classes-Dragonknight, Templar, Sorcerer, and Nightblade-to determine abilities. The Elder Scrolls Online is an MMORPG inspired by the franchise of the same name.
