Yeah, they don't let you in till lvl 50 or something. I'm talking about aesthetics here, though.

Say, one of those shots looked like inside the crater of Red Mountain. Do we get to go inside the Ghostfence? If so, seeing as at this point in history Dagoth Ur and his cousins would be sound asleep, do we get to go into his dwemer base and teabag him?

Looks like it will play more like DCUO, instead of button bar for actions.

I like how most of the areas they show are in Morrowind or Skyrim, though Hammerfell is looking good. Hopefully they'll make Cyrodil more roman or unique somehow, and not so much generic English countryside.

Looking at the UESP wiki on the Elder Scrolls lore, Cyrodiil is actually supposed to be tropical at this time, as this was before Tiber Septim came along with the Empire and supposedly changed it to the temperate climate we know of.
Though I guess the storyline for ESO is supposed to be more or less disconnected from everything else anyway, so I guess it's a moot point.

Will the MMO be canon? that really the only thing I care about

[Astral]

It looks terrible, to be honest. Maybe I've outgrown MMO's except in short stints, but the combat and animations, after playing Guild Wars 2 and Skyrim (obviously), just looks very "stand still and duke it out until someones numbers go down" a la World of Warcraft. Not fluid at all, with no appearance of anything more than button mashing on the part of the players.

Then again, it's an intro video, so there may be more to it in the long run, and it seems to be taking a lot of inspiration from Guild Wars 2, which is a good thing overall. Along with no viewable interface, it makes it hard to judge what the future holds for this potentially bastard child of an MMO.

Something about the factions alone doesn't strike me as canon at all, with handwaved stories of why the three teams of three races each are ganging up together. Nord/Dunmer/Argonian, Altmer/Bosmer/Khajit, and Breton/Redguard/Orc just makes only a marginal amount of sense based on their regions, but not any sense at all with what has been presented in the previous games.

Cyrodiil, last I checked, is a war-torn PVP area ala I-don't-play-many-MMOs-so-I-don't-know. Factions can take over towns, etc.

They specifically mentioned that it would have the same feel as oblivion.

Dunmer and argonians? No problems there. Nope. Not at all. Wait... Redguards and Orcs? Didn't they already have a huge war when the redguards first arrived in tamriel?

Nord who hate elves then Dunmer and Argonians who the Dunmer enslave well that faction has some problems. well maybe all the Argonians you play as are slaves

[Metalax]

The only races that really make sense as part of the same faction are the Altmer/Bosmer forming the Aldmeri Dominion. Dummer/Argonian could work with the Argonians as slaves I suppose, but none of the other races make sense in those groupings, particularly at this time period.

Until the Apocryphal Arnesian War...

FOR THE HIST! FOR THE SAXHLEEL! _{(In Jel, of course)}

[Cecilff2]

I can understand Nord + Dunmer.  They've done it before to take down the Kamal when they tried to invade.  The argonians have never once been on friendly terms with the Dunmer though.  Mainly because the Dunmer constantly enslave them, encroach into Black Marsh, and cut down hist trees.(Personally Orc + Nord + Dunmer makes much more sense but then the argonians would be left in the lurch)

[pisskop]

I would imagine the factions aren't absolute in terms of racial.composition.  unless you were doing a continuation of the war with a third neutral party.

I find this idea of absolutes to WoWy and a return to racism, moreso than what was in Morrowind.  But that racism played well, this sounds like clanism for tge hell of it.

the argonians own half of vaanderfall, and nords are independent?  boom alliance.

the bretons, half of redguards, and imerials are still imperial.

the kats and high wood elves are the altmeri dominion... and they hold pieces of redguard land.

I would very much like to see this war unfurl.  I want to kill those elven nancies (with my nancy Breton).

Didn't they say they wanted players to get a feel for PvP from early on?

That's... ~2000 years in the future. In the Fourth Era. ESO takes place in the middle of the Second Era, AKA the Common Era. Unless you meant that that's the war you'd prefer to see instead of the one in ESO?

[pisskop]

ahh my apologies, I assumed chronological order.  Should have known.

Well my Breton nancy shall still thirst for elf blood.  and I must now go off to refresh myself to the history of the second era.
