User blog:Timeoin/Ask Us Anything - Variety Pack 8

Today, more information was released regarding The Elder Scrolls Online.

Here's a summary:
 * Armor and weapons will have varied appearances, depending on race, and level progression with that weapon.
 * Wildlife will appear in the game, and can be collected for hides and leather. (Hunting will not be a skill)
 * You will be able to play as several characters.
 * Some armor sets will have set bonuses
 * Each of the armor types will have skill lines, which will give a bonus for wearing more of a similar type of armor.
 * Veteran Points are similar to XP, and your Veteran Rank goes up as you gain them.
 * Veteran Points will grant stats and the ability to equip better gear, although with smaller increases than from leveling up your character.
 * Soul Gems can be used to resurrect players in PvP. (Disturbingly, "you can also buy filled Gems at a premium"). 
 * Sorcerers have a Summon Winged Twilight Ability.
 * At first, this has a ranged attack only.
 * Later, a morph choice, grants the ability to add a "passive aura to the summon that increases the magicka regeneration of nearby allies.
 * Another is to cast a healing spell on you when you are at low health.
 * Another Sorcerer ability is a Summon Storm Atronach ability.
 * Disguise will be a mechanic in the game that will allow for infiltration into enemy camps (example: to make a Breton look like an Argonian).
 * Campaigns will be available after launch with a higher level requirement.
