Few questions about the gameplay

Post » Mon May 27, 2013 5:39 pm

Few questions I have been pondering on for Elder Scrolls Online.

1::As the previous Elder Scrolls games, whenever you've used magic or a bow to attack your enemies, you had to aim and fire.

Will this still be available in Elder Scrolls Online?

If Not:

Would it have a targeting System almost like WoW, Where the arrows and magic would follow the targeted NPC, where one has completely no chance of dodging an arrow that follows you, like a curving bullet?.

2::They say elder scrolls would be one Gigantic Server,where everyone can join in on the fun.

Which I kinda fear for::

I am From South Africa and back then When i have Played WoW, I have always had a Latency Problem... I never could have joined in on the fun on massive battlegrounds, without being hit by 1-2 Second delay.

3::The Graphics.

I know Elder Scrolls for its amazing graphics and with the release of Skyrim it looked realistic.

After Looking at a few previews on what I could have found on Elder Scrolls Online, I couldn't help to noticed that one's character some how looks like their LOD has been reduced.

It is understandable that its been reduced for it could cause Lag during Huge battles but, I have not seen the recreated models myself but seeing it through pictures and videos..i couldn't help to noticed that reduction.

I am Rather a Fan for the quality in textures and LOD which was my Eye Candy for Skyrim.

4::Some Thing Extra Details I as one fan would love to see

Is to burn your enemies ,medium or well done, freeze them to death, and maybe shatter them across the ground.

Chop body parts off.

Just something extra yet realistic as a final killing blow,

And that Brings me to one last question.

5::Will there be like finishers that we have all encountered in Skyrim?

Thank you again

I for one is really looking forward to seeing ESO.

1. there is a soft targetting system. if your crosshair is over an enemy when you select a spell it will hit them even if they move.

2. your latency will depend on how close the european server is to you. (it will probably be about what you experienced with WoW)

3. unless it was official video i wouldn't worry to much. to me the graphics seem to be on par with vanilla skyrim. if it was an unofficial video you saw, you have no way of knowing the computer the person was playing on.

edit: also on point 1. the game will have dodging and blocking.

The level of detail is unlikely to match Skyrim's at its best. There will be a lot of scaling, just considering mass pvp with hundreads of players on screen, it could not be otherwise.

I believe they are aiming at a very mainstream audience with the graphics, hopefully their engine comes with many values to tweak. I just love tweaking, and customizing gfx for my own taste :D.

4. no idea.

5. yes kill cams are confirmed. you will have a stat called "finesse" if you reach max finesse and kill an npc you will get a kill-cam, like in skyrim.

I hope kill-cams are toggle features within the game's settings. Those creep me out in so many ways :yuck: . The idea alone that it excites and amuses people is weird for me. :blink:
