In 361, the Alessians gained control of the Empire and enforced the Alessian Doctrines throughout its domain. The Ayleid lordships were abolished. Enforcement of this decree does not appear to have required much direct violence — it seems that by this point the balance of power was so overwhelmingly against them,…

I have a 500 slot guild bank. ^^

Actually it is the superiority of the open world pvp that redeems the game in my eyes.

Coming from a MMO, yes... but compared to Skyrim, the amount of items is actually less. For instance, you don't have to loot a dozen different candlesticks, etc. In the real world you can't just pick up everything.

The main story in ESO is far better then any class story in TOR.

Ayleid Ruins being fucking everywhere because it's much easier to re-use that one tileset rather than creating lore accurate and unique dungeon tilesets

Wildstar blows. It will be f2p long before ESO.

I spend most of my time ganking questers.

Probably the thing that's going to kill this game for me is the inventory management.

You only do extra damage in stealth when you actually hit people in the back. It happens all the time when other people pull as i am setting up a 1 shot kill - my target turns around, thus negating my sneak attack.

Groupthink ftw?

I finished the main story the other day, and it was epic. Not quite as polished as Skyrim, and not quite as emotional as Morrowind, but easily on par with both, and far better then oblivion, arena, battlespire, and daggerfall.

I am pretty sure Skyrim was 'dumbed down for consoles', but that didn't stop it from being the best selling RPG of all time...

One of my favorite arcade games of all time, Space Lords, used a custom built chip to run the code. That chip has never been reverse engineered, and as such, the game can not be emulated on any system. The only way you can play Space Lords, is if you own an original working cabinet.

I love this game. Have some screenshots, kotaku.

SHIELD is all meat, no bones.

Nothing breaks immersion more then pop culture in places it should not logically exist.

Actually, "siege the castle" is an extremely complex activity in ESO. AI does not adapt to tactics like real players.

In ESO if you want a castle, you have to establish a front, set up a siege line, shore up your flanks, and cut off enemy reinforcements. Do you attack the door, or the walls? Which door? The front door…

You must have a terrible computer.

You do know that Bethesda Softworks and Zenimax Online are both subsidiaries of Zenimax Media, right? If 'Zenimax' wanted to, they could close down Bethesda Softworks and sell all their stuff on ebay.
