How is everyone enjoying the game so far?
Is this basically Skyrim but online with other people?
Do you get to buy/ride a horse?
How about making a home?
Is it still mostly fetch quests in caves?
Is the leveling system the same?
1) Its more generic than Skyrim because its an MMO, but its still a huge fantasy world with all of the elder scrolls lore. There's a lot of game here.
2) Yep, personal horses are in the game as well as other mounts.
3) No homes yet but its something they are looking into (its a widely requested feature)
4) Its some pretty decent questing, a lot of voiceovers and all that. Its pretty good for an MMO IMO.
5) Leveling is similar but not completely the same. You can level your skills by using items but you also choose to increase tons of different talents and when you hit end game you get champion perks to distribute into the sky like Skyrim, choosing different buffs and whatnot.
Its a deep game and for the price (since its now B2P) its well worth it. Even if you don't stick with it, you can probably regain half by trading it in or re-selling it and that's very rare for an MMO.
so is this game better than final fantasy 14? I think about getting a console mmo but can't really decide between the two.
Ehh, they are both two completely different games except for the fact that they share the same genre. FF14 has way smaller zones, has almost zero customization when it comes to skills, while ESO pretty much is the exact opposite as you can customize your skills any which way you want. FF14 has more content, and keeps adding at an alarming rate, while ESO is going to have paid DLC. FF14 has much slower combat with a 2 second global cooldown, while ESO is pretty much in your face use your skills at will until you drain resorces. ESO has no subscription while FF14 has one, etc. Both have their ups and downs but I wouldn't say one is better than the other, just different.
