[Megathread] Elder Scrolls Online

Per ESOHead, there are 2,230 lore books. Wow.

Yep, they are everywhere in the game. If you don't go exploring you will never find them all.

Is that unique, or does that include copies?

[Aoewy]

187 treasure maps as well

That is unique books. They are everywhere in the game.

Unique titles

It makes me sad. I was hoping ESO wouldn't be turned into a numbers game where elitist asshats would ridicule someone because they aren't using the most "optimal" build. Turns out this game will just be like the rest for me, a disappointment. Guess I need to start looking for another MMO to get interested in.

Why would you purposely and voluntarily play something that isn't the most optimal? Don't cite "for fun", because that isn't a real answer.

Why play a game if you aren't playing it to the best of your abilities?

That's pretty impressive.

I know it's hard to believe, but some play games for FUN. And fun is subjective.

I'm gonna say this, people who enjoyed doing dungeons back in TBC are really going to enjoy doing Veteran Dungeons in this game. They are ridiculously hard and bring a challenge to dungeons that MMOs haven't brought for quite awhile. Now here's hoping that ZOS won't cave in to the people saying that they can't do them because they are too hard.

[Tabbycat]

Not to give too much away, but they did include some books from the single player TES games.

I haven't tried them out yet. But I have heard Veteran content is really hard to solo (not including dungeons!). I may have to group up with others to get through it. lol

At most it would be better if more builds were made viable(Barring really weird ones). That's what I can see. Anything else, seems to be just going against MMOS. Math is almost always involved.

[Zanag]

That's pretty impressive.

To some people it might to hard for them to realize but ZOS is trying their best to be as close to an TES game as they can be. They are dedicated to the lore for this game, and want to expand it a lot more. Sure they have made some mistakes, but they have created reasonings for them.

I was actually disappointed in seeing a book about a certain argonian maid. As that book was not written during this time period.

Yeah, that's what I've been hearing also. We will do it together Tabby

Right. But what fun do you have playing something that is undoubtedly worse in areas of the game that you are playing in? I'm not trying to be confrontational, but genuinely trying to understand.

If you are having fun being sub-optimal, but the other 19 people playing with you aren't having fun because you're sub-optimal, why don't they have their right to be "elitist" to you? Fun is subjective to them, after all, and what's fun for them is being on the "max" side of "min/max". Not Min.

But it is easily explained though. He stole the book and put his name on it.

[jangkun]

Not sure if I'll play a dragon knight or sorcerer now. I'd like to try a Sorcerer tank build. There's some interesting skills that increase armor. Could go one hand/shield (even if I don't like having a shield.
Only issue is that I don't see any taunt and don't know how treat will work :S

Anyway, anyone can confirm if we'll have more than 1 action bar? I'm fine with being limited to have a certain number of spells but 5 at time is kinda low (10 would be nice).

[Deleted]

Hmm.... you do have a point. The console versions will be addon free, won't they?

I've seen interview with some woman from Zenimax, and she said they are currently in talks with Sony and Microsoft to allow mods on their consoles.
I bet Sony won't have any problem with that, not sure about M$ though.
I'm going to play ESO on PS4 so really hope I could use mods there.

That's the exact amount of skillslots you will have ... at level 15 you'll be able to switch weapons, this will also switch your active skills ... so 5+5=10 active skills and 1 + 1=2 ultimates.

At 15 you can swap weapons (out of combat) which grants another action bar. They cannot (currently) be expanded though
