Ok: My thoughts on the game are pretty mixed. I have ABSOLUTELY NO experience with MMO's, and really don't play online or multiplayer at all. I'm definitely not a veteran of TES series, as I just jumped right in with Skyrim. What I loved about Skyrim is the fact that it was super simple. It took me a matter of 3 hours to know how to play, the mechanics, and the overall story. I had no research on it at all. But TESO is a lot more different from Skyrim, and appears to be similar to Oblivion. (Mechanics wise). And I don't know how MMO's work, like, at all. I mean, do we talk to each other? Is it through typed chat or talking to each other through microphones? And they throw this whole new (to me) system with classes and abilities and then those abilities have abilities and only certain races have them and everyone is their own Vestige and it just doesn't make sense to me! People will probably think I'm an idiot but I don't know. I'm pretty new to the gaming world and only play single player RPG's. I want to play this because it looks fun and Skyrim is starting to get repetitive ( I mean I can quote the entire opening dialogue off the top off my head) and I want to play something new. But I need more info on it! Please help! And, I mean, is this gonna be the last TES game? They cut corners and just plopped all of Tamriel in your lap, so a Single-Province-themed game seems distant, if at all. And I HATE THAT! I was hoping the next game would be The Elder Scrolls VI: Elsweyr, but UGH NO! Anyways, please help me understand it!!!
