So Bethesda announced the official release date for Xbox one and PS4 and will NOT require a subscription fee at all :D

 

I Loved Skyrim back then but hopefully this would be promising.

"Bethesda's online entry in the Elder Scrolls franchise, Elder Scrolls Online, finally has a release date for its Xbox One and PS4 versions: June 9. And along with that announcement, the developer also revealed that the MMO will no longer require a monthly subscription to play."

 

So as it's confirmed that it will no longer require a monthly subscription, PC users who had already pre-bought the game will not need to pay again as it is now the full game when it's released. I will be getting this on PC as well :P.

 

So what do you think?

I really disliked the game, it's far from the real TES games, and it has a lot of flaws an MMO shouldn't have in 2015. Monthly fee or not, I doubt I'll play it.

Lol ES:O. It's shit. Utter. Shit. 

 

Even Skyrim is better, and that is saying something. 

Oblivion was amazing to me at the time...the WOW factor was enormousness.  The cities,the map, the characters, were all new to me and just seemed like a real living world.

 

Skyrim really didn't hold my attention like TES-Oblivion.  I don't get the WOW factor with Skyrim...just seems kinda bland.  The cities/towns all seemed like rehash of the last town I was in, and the peds seem less "alive".

 

I'll give it another shot though.  The MMO version sounds interesting.

 

Good day,

So true. I do play Skyrim more than Oblivion, but just because it can be much more fun with mods. It's mods that make Skyrim entertaining, not itself. Oblivion was great as vanilla.

All NPCs have interacted with eachother much more; Drunken brawls, people talking to eachother about weather, fishes...If they sat together at the inn, they would DO SOMETHING TOGETHER, THEY WOULD TALK.  And allllll quests in Skyrim are soooo boooring... It's pretty much just walk in a cave and kill everyone in there, pick an item from the cave, go bring it back to the person, go do another thing like that, return back to the person, go there, back, there, back... I feel like a mailman.

Frankly, I don't care.

 

Even if TES:O went completely free to play on PC with no purchase or subscription required, plus all the exclusive content also included for free, I still wouldn't play it.

 

Why?

 

Because it'd still be a completely terrible game, it'll just be for free.

 

I've recently started playing though Skyrim again, I'll just continue playing that instead, much better experience.

Yup, I actually had all the Oblivion mods, like the realism mods, better armor, better combat...on and on.  Made the replay value enormous, if you ever decided to start over.

 

The peds were very well done in Oblivion, the interaction, the conversations.  You could actually learn things about Oblivion just by listening to the peds at taverns or on the streets.  

 

The immersion factor just isn't there with Skyrim.  Also, the mission; travelling from one end of the map to the other was a chore and why I never finished it.

 

With that said, I may just fire it up, add some mods (didn't mod Skyrim - yet) and give another shot.

I've heard it's utterly terrible.

Might give it a go a year or two from now. Since that's when it might probably get decent, if it even survives that long...
