What part played like an elder scrolls game? I must not have seen those parts in my beta test a couple/few weeks ago. Couldn't pickpocket/steal, couldn't pick up books, linear story, overly easy combat system, stealth was lame, NPC characters were boring, engine was from SWTOR and played like it. Quests were either very linear story line (and not at all engaging), interact with x number of objects then return, kill x number of mobs then return, or kill special mob. Special mobs were extremely easy and since there were ridiculous numbers of people around, you never had to fight them alone. Game was not very buggy for a beta. Invis lasted 2.5 seconds, world looked like sanitized and homogenized crap. I was so bored the entire time I played it. Never once felt like a part of the world, it was just another theme park mmo. Bear in mind, I've sank over 1500 hours into morrowind and oblivion combined (gonna get skyrim one of these days), so I love TES, but at no point did any of this feel like an elder scrolls game to me. The thing that disappointed me the most was the total lack of cool quests like morrowind and oblivion had. Where was the intrigue, the murder, the thievery and double-crossing? Not in that game.

I'll keep playing beta during next round because I really want the game to be good, but in its current state, Zenimax Online would have to pay me at least 20 dollars an hour to play that game.

I've been playing Elder Scrolls game since Daggerfall. I also went through 3 waves of Beta-testing. How does this play like an Elder Scrolls Game? Or just fanboi? Nothing wrong with being a fanboi, but at least I'll know how much value to place on your input.

If you play in first person it's kinda elder scrolly, but I just didn't find the immersion there :| Hard to immerse yourself in a game where 300 dicks are also going for the same quest mobs.

Combat is similar to Skyrim if simplistic right now (they're working on it), camera and compass are similar to Skyrim, you can open containers to find crafting material, you can explore the world for treasure chests that require a minigame to open, there are lots of books to read even if you can't pick them up (and why would you want to? this isn't single player where you can place them anywhere you want to call home), classes are necessarily more restrictive than single player but still leave a lot of room for customization, there's mage's and fighter's guilds.

What you can't expect is TESO to be multiplayer Skyrim. It's similar but MMOs cannot have all the features of a one-character single player game where your character can be an expert fighter, mage, healer and pickpocket all in one.

I do need to stress that TESO plays more like Skyrim than any other ESO title. Can't draw many parallels to Morrowind and can't draw any at all to Daggerfall.

People trolling probably don't belong in a beta test. You're not looking at the finished product etc.
