True. It'll be good for people who can accomplish all these things, especially when they'll get merit for it. But are they really that important? Sure, everyone kills Alduin, but it's still a big deal and changes the game. From what I've heard about WoW, doing things like killing a particular boss becomes a regular, scheduled activity.

And while the ability to play with friends may entice people, and would be undoubtedly fun while it lasts, I still fear for the singleplayer elements of an Elder Scrolls game. I suspect TESO will make for a good mmo, but an average Elder Scrolls game.
