9 Distinct retail editions would be cool

Post » Tue Jan 29, 2013 5:32 pm

Here's an idea I have about the release of retail box TESO: they should release 9 different editions with 9 different boxart, one for each race! Unfortunately despite the huge TES fanbase, Bethesda doesn't have a merchandise shop like Ubisoft or EA to sell figurines, posters, coins, maps and all sorts of collector items that fans usually spend insane amounts of money to have.

So this is a good opportunity for Zenimax to cash-in on the popularity of The Elder Scrolls as a legendary franchise, and give us 9 editions so the collectors could have their favorite race on the box, and why not, a figurine inside. Guild Wars 2 forced all the collectors to the http://www.anologhype.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/guild_wars_2_collectors_edition_content.jpg so the Asura fans and the Sylvari fans etc ended up with a big Charr on their desk. I hope TESO and Zenimax think about this as a good business opportunity to sell highly collectible boxes "the Argonian edition", "the Dunmer edition", etc.

And when Imperials will be introduced with an expansion, they would have their own cover.

What do you say?

The "light" version of this would be 3 editions, one for each faction, showing 3 protagonists together on the cover.

I'm going to say it will either be the image of the Nord, Altmer and Breton from the cinematic or the ouroboros thingy. Or perhaps all 4.

Nah, I want ZOS to stick with the design of the other TES games covers.

It'll be a black background with the Ouroboros in front

Or three boxes of each alliance's logo.

We don't need figurines of races or heroes. An Elder Scrolls Online Collector's Edition only needs one thing apart from the game itself.

Plush guar or no deal.

But...but this is not fair! Everyone will have to buy the Imperial Edition in order to play the expansion!
The expansion will need 10 editions to be politically correct :frog:
