7 Resons to Play The Elder Scrolls Online

Just to update the version of The Elder Scrolls Online on PlayStation 4, Bethesda has released a new patch that updates the game to version V01.04. Patch size goes up to 15.9 gigabytes, which is disliked by users and has deserved an apology from the editor itself.

"We understand that download a patch of similar size is frustrating and is not the most ideal, but we are working to ensure that future patches are not cumulative PlayStation 4" commented Bethesda on the forum. It seems that the size of the patch is so because of the improvements will be added from version v01.01 to this V01.04.

The intention of this patch is to fix the different elements that are not working as they should in the console version of The Elder Scrolls MMORPG. We can only wait to see the improvements.

Since it was announced at a recent E3 some months ago that the new project developed by Zenimax Online would be The Elder Scrolls (TESO) it has generated too many expectations... personally as a fan of this series I'm very excited about entering the world of Tamriel among thousands of other players, but not all The Elder Scrolls fans greeted the news with enthusiasm...

Let's Clear some facts about The Elder Scrolls Online and see why some people think this is the new WOW killer...

The Elder Scrolls Online Facts

What does it make TESO so innovative and diferent from the rest of the MMORPG out there?

How many times we have heard developers claiming their games would be the "final mmorpg"... i lost the count some time ago... but i really think The Elder Scrolls Online has a Huge potencial to be the new king of the mmorp's, and trust me, despite being a big fan of The Series, I'm trying to be objective here...

What does an Elder Scrolls Fan expect from TESO?

The answer is very simple; FREEDOM... Bethesda said is committed to "include all" that makes it great to experience the saga, and let me tell you, so far, they are doing a great job!

Here my 7 Reasons to Play The Elder Scrolls Online

One great feature of the elder Scrolls series has always been the posibility to play in First person perspective, not many RPG games allow you to do that and this for me and many other players was the feature that hooked me from the fisrt time i played Morrowind many years ago... and i mean Fist person perspective done right! where you can see your hands holding your weapons and shield... not that kind of crap perspective you got from those generic MMORPG's. The Elder Scrolls Online puts you in the shoes of your character as any other good mmorpg should did before.

As for the controls, WASD to move your character and mouse to look around, a real First person! (like Skyrim)

Any Elder Scrolls player out there know for sure this title allows you to interact with any objects in your environment from weapons, armors and clothes to crafting ingredient, dead bodies, candles, forks and any other crap you found around... these probably doesn't sound very exciting for those who haven't played any TES title but believe me, this formula of player/world interaction is one of the features that made The Elder Scrolls the Epic games they are now.

Yes! thats right... In TESO you can build your character almost without restrictions! just as any other Elder Scrolls title. As any other mmorpg TESO will let you chose a class to start with; Dragon Knight, Sorcerer, Templar and Rogue... but this decision is not that important as it is in other games. Classes in the Elder Scrolls Online aren't really classes at all. They are just a base to build your own class the way you want... for instance; be the mage with full plate armor you always wanted,TESO allows you to do that and more. Such system permit to create a unique character depending on your will and playing experience. And don't worry about balance, the developers have take care of it, adding some stats to the different types of armor, and also limiting the action bar to 6 slots.

Zenimax have done away with cooldowns completely, You only have to worry about your Stamina bar, Magicka bar, and Health bar as any other TES game...

The Elder Scrolls Online uses a One hotbar System in it's combat. Weapon slots, skills and an ultimate skill make up your attacks. You can change your skills anytime out of combat but as soon as you start a fight you are stuck with your selected skills till the battle it's over.

These changes, in my opinion, add a bit more strategy and gives the player the oportunity to focus on the real action and not just smashing buttons and watching cooldown meters on those squares on the boreders of your screen. I always hated clicking those skills bars full of icons anyway!

The Elder Scrolls Onlie was designed to have about 200 players on screen at anytime, So you will join to Epic large scale battles kind of Lord of The Rings Movies... you know, siege weapons, castles, hundreds of soldiers fighting for their faction, Tell me you don't want to be part of this!

The MEGA Server!

The Mega server will automatically puts you with your guild mates and friends, there's no need of character transfers anymore, moreover the server allows you tu choose the kind of player you wan to be with... Are you a PvP junky but don't like to play with 13 years old kids? then play with PvP oriented guys... or perhaps you are 13 yourself, then play with other kids like you, if that's what you want... the MEGA server let you chose these and more!

One unexpected Improvement that impressed me about The Elder Scrolls Online was the artificial Intelligence design of the enemies. As you aproach them in combat, enemies will change their tactics based on how many allies they have, their positions, and the skills of their allies, for instance some humanoids will call to each other, allowing you to react to their intentions... Combos are created when some enemies douse the ground in oil, so their mage friend can light it aflame under your feet... these and all kinds of complex maneuvers it's what the new TESO AI is capable to offer you... a real challenge!

Is your TESO leveling strategy incorrect?

Unlike any other Elder Scrolls game such as Skyrim or Morrowind, the leveling system in The Elder Scrolls Online operates more like a traditional MMORPG where your level is determined by the total amount of experience points.

However, you will be able to level up your skills like the previous TES releases, As you might expect, the best way to level up your skills is by using those skills.

Solving quests is the easiest way to level up a character, as the rewards of these generic quests usually includes a good amount of experience points, but there´s also Guild quests that have a chain of quests you have to follow, with each subsequent quest giving you more and more experience points.

Once you reach level 10, you will be ready to participate in faction wars where generally... doesn't take much effort to gain a pretty decent amount of experience points.

These are just basic tips to level up a bit faster in the elder scrolls online but Leveling in The Elder Scrolls Online is not about how much time you invest in roaming the world of Tamriel. The latest edition in the hit series is designed differently. It is all about strategy, acumen, and skills developed according to requirement.
