Elder Scrolls online Beta

Any of you guys tried this?

I was pleasantly surprised... I was fearing awful Skyrim-type controls.

Dude! tell me! i got my key, but tbh i didn't bother coz i lost interest since they announced they're going the subscription route. BUT, i guess it depends on the sub-plan they choose. You think it's worth downloading? Coz i been waiting for ES:Multiplayer since Morrowind should i just play the beta anyways or will it torture me when they go live and i have to dip-out? I can't afford a sub no way. My plan was to wait one year until they realise it's wrong and go F2P like the rest, then jump in

I never really bought into all the Elder Scrolls hype. I'll grant you, it is role-playing at it's finest. The graphics are awesome, and the voice acting for everything is a nice touch. However, I really couldn't get into them. I own a copy of Oblivion and Skyrim for my Xbox, and I played them both maybe 20 hours total. It's probably just my gaming style. But I prefer an RPG that has a set story and goals. Elder Scrolls, while having a sub story it seems, appears to me to just be one massive open world where you can literally just go and do whatever the heck you want and spend your entire life doing NOTHING. That's not for me.

It was quite good - I'd definitely give it a spin. tbh I felt the control scheme in syrim ruined the game - no precision or tactics. However, online uses more traditional hotkeyd moves. I rated it.
