PerformanceFirst things first, how well does it perform - how will it look, and how good does my computer need to be to run it? Simple. You can easily run this game with mediocre computer and get very high graphics settings. My GPU (GTX 760) was not even close to overworked with max settings, so any computer should do pretty decently. And for an online game, this is beautiful.
Plot
Like many MMO games, there is some sort of plot, but not very important. You can easily skip past all the dialogue and still play the game. In fact, I ended up skipping most all the voice overs because they just got boring and in the way. But an MMO isn't there for the plot, it's for the gameplay, leveling, and community. Gameplay
This is actually relatively interesting game concepts - the battle system reminded me of the First Person view fighting mixed with hotkeys from Torchlight II. You can walk around in a free-roam environment, but the jumping lacks a bit in comparison to the other Elder Scrolls titles. Overall, the game is very quick and to the point - fight through monsters to continue through quests, explore to find more quests. Get better armor, upgrade your weapons, etc. It's really a common MMO game with some Elder Scroll lore and themes.My Take
I'm glad I had the chance to give TESO a go before putting any actual money toward it. For me, I probably wouldn't pay the $14 a month to play it as I find many MMO's monotonous and boring. But that doesn't mean that others won't like it. If you like Runescape or World of Warcraft, you'd probably enjoy this game tremendously. And for those who have never played an Elder Scrolls game, think of this as a different game entirely, where they just share the same lore.
