Ohhh thats actually a good idea..it could be like vampires but instead of having to suck blood to stay alive they need to drink Lava to keep them fit and at 100%. Its fire resist would be like 2000 lol, hmm now just need a name for the race....Magmagonians?

Thats actually a good sign , they are still putting money into the game but their Dev team needs to play catch up to their marketing team....

I thought the "sponsored" tag was referring to the commercial before the video, and so it was a "sponsored" video. May have been paid by Zenimax, who knows.
To another point though, I think you need to just break down and get a sense of humor! This was a pretty funny video man, roll with it! I bet you get offended during comedian performances don't you?1 -
kirnmalidus✭✭✭✭Yeah it must be sponsored, they used actual game footage and Bethesda's logo is in the interview shots.
I really respect a corporate that can take a bit of self-deprecating humor, especially in what is essentially an advertisement for their flagship product. It takes guts for a brand to work with the Onion on a promo.Life of a Nightblade (Screenshot Tumblr)
“Attention Zenimax: Stamina builds don't hold up to magicka builds, and this is causing most of your class imbalance. It makes melee weapons and bows weaker than staves and class abilities. It makes medium and heavy armor less desirable than light armor. Fix this imbalance, and you'll address most of your balance issues.”

that depends if you plan on your character being a milk drinker or a mead drinker. this will need to be part of you theory crafting.0 -
Fuzzylumpkins✭✭✭✭No matter how negative or small and angry of a person some of you, this is humour. It is deep in your belly funny. And best of all it lets us laugh at ourselves and what we expect today from games. ESO did go overboard with character customisation, mainly because you cant even see anything about your character in game . But it was worth the smile it provided.
