20 Reason to buy Elder Scrolls Online (Video)

zevni78

Hi, thought I'd make a short video listing and analyzing the reasons I surprised myself by getting ESO, something I had no intention of doing so until recently.

Thanks for the comparison with WS. I had not had a chance to play in that beta but the advertising made it look interesting.

Satarious

Great points and pretty much the same reasons I pre-ordered.

DeathFromAbove

Great video.

MMOPlaya

Great video, and good insight.  Enjoyed it!

Warjin

Spot on, you named pretty much all the reasons I am going to be playing.

Zalmon

I only need one reason to play.

 

'Its Elderscroll'. 

War_Machine

I was on the fence but this video sealed it for me. I'm going to give it a shot. Thank you.

Nty, you can only give some thing or someone so many chances before it becomes tiresome and this is what happened in my case for eso , just a sub par game imo

Entinerint

Great vid!

+1 I hope you enjoy it as much as I have so far.

NomadMorlock

Great video.  Spot on and matches my experiences as well across the board.

Perjure

Great video - I agree with the OP 100%

Its very much a matter of taste, though I like Wildstar as an IP, and the advertizing is genius, I am just done with quest text and WoW type character controls and bloated UI. Five Yrs ago I would have loved it, so try the beta if you can.

I don't buy an mmo for it's IP after STO, that's why I had to be so thorough is the listing of ESO's features, and the brand necessarily doesn't mean it will feel like the single player games to you, (though eventually it did for me, may it do so for you).

I am surprised at how many people in other forums have been persuaded by this video to take the plunge (I really hope it works out for you) This was more an explanation as to why I bought it despite how very critical and skeptical I have been of Zenimax's marketing of the game, and to explain to my 5 subscribers why I will be covering ESO as well as Everquest Next now. 

 

And to all those that said such positive things about it, thank you all! It makes the pain to edit this together in glitchy Lightworks (I can't afford Premiere) worth it.

I agree with just about everything in this video. 

Raventree

To the OP, well done.  I have already decided to play, but watching the video and hearing all of the good things the game has to offer just psyches me up for launch.

SomeOldBloke

Each to there own... this is why we all like different things as half the reasons given in the video are why I will not be buying,

Talemire

Well done! +1

Setzer

Excellent video!  Agreed with pretty much all of his reasons.

Knotwood

Best video I ever seen on this game.  This is the video people should watch if they want to know the true view on this game.

Avul

Best video so far and I agree 100%. Ed Core is always right! I can't wait for Sunday. I will spend at least 3-4 hours in the character creation to find my perfect alter ego.

NagilumSadow

Excellent video in generally.

scopy60

very nice video i love it

JHenry

Watched it, liked it, and subscribed!

Dibdabs

A very good video indeed, but what a great presenter too!   Calm, reasoned tone, unobtrusive background music and 100% focussed on what he was saying and - gasp! - he acted as if he was talking to an audience who had a brain cell.

What a change from the fake-crayzeeeeee kidults who yammer at a loud, annoying pitch of voice, interspersing everything they say with um ,er, f**k' or s**t every other word they say.  Some "reviewers" apparently only want us to watch them trying to look cool, set against a backdrop of all their boxed games and tacky computer game memorabilia.

This guy set the Gold Standard for video presentation in my opinion.

Agree. Also, face cam is getting mandatory. Instead of focusing on the game itself, you're focusing on the video presenter on how he shakes his hands in the air while telling something about the game.
