When I asked her about the Argonians, she laughed at the idea of someone asking about their own race. I asked her about the various races of the land. I did, however, engage Rana in conversation before leaving. I picked the one that sounded the furthest away and set off. I spoke her and she offered me up three ways to complete an investigation into some untoward oddities in the land of Bleakrock. I (and the handful of other press members) was dumped into what appeared to be a house with an objective to talk to a Captain Rana of the Ebonheart Pact, presumably the woman in front of me where half a dozen other people are clumped together.
I chose a female Argonian Dragon Knight, named her Walterja Matthausus, randomly tweaked her appearance, and I was well on my way. You start off immediately with the character creation process wherein you put in your name, pick your race and class, and futz about with a bevy of sliders, including one for your posterior. There are bits and pieces to where it feels significantly different from many other experiences and feels much more like what made The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim the success that it was. You could still quickly sum it up as “ Skyrim as an MMO,” but now I find that lacking. Things, however, have changed, and changed for the better. I’d even left my anemic page of notes untouched and didn’t bother writing about it, lest my preview contain the sole words “it’s an MMO” and an anecdote about how my character model was at some point a tree. It wasn’t bad, but it also didn’t feel especially noteworthy in any particular aspect aside from its attachment to its namesake franchise.
The last time I played The Elder Scrolls Online, the upcoming MMO set in The Elder Scrolls world of Tamriel, it was rather nondescript.
