What's your favorite thing about TESO?

Skilledbandit08

We have enough posts talking about what's wrong with the game, or what people don't like but what are some things people actually enjoy about the game?

I personally love questing, so I enjoy all the storylines that unravel from zone to zone. The fact that tanking is more of a challenge in dungeons. You have to actually roll to dodge, actually block and then use weapon abilities and spells. As opposed to just spamming the same old combo of buttons.

Those are just two of things I enjoy, how about you?

Probably the music.

I love the forest in AD It's simply beautiful.
Also the stories behind quests make me cry sometimes as do the good movies or books, which means the're written good.
Love the music, especialy "The Towers Cast Long Shadows" and "Moons of Evening Star".
And finaly, I love Razum Dar If I only knew him im personal
Everything at once makes great immersion.

The faction story questing from 1-49 is great. Shame it falls off a cliff after that.

MaxBat

+1 for music.

Veruka

The questing is great. It's my favorite part of the game.

Heraclea

The quality of the quest writing, and the inclusion of decisions with consequences.

So, here it goes, this topic shows us clearly how many people who like to play ESO are here The rest of us is currently offline or playing
That's why most topics troll, flame, hate...

I would have to say the addon ability.
They knew they could not do it "right" for everyone and that a lot of solutions would propably cost them more time to develop then is worth the effort.

So they gave us hobby programmers some very nice tools in the hand to make the game more like we want it to be. There are of course limits but that is only natural.

It's is fun to play. It has social interaction. And programming problems to solve. All three in one programm!

It WAS the pvp, but the new focus on npcs and the caltrops bug still being there, that is no longer the case.

Currently, I guess it would be the small things that I see in the world from time to time. From the weird encounters with random summoners that no one really has an explanation for, to the way people seem to hear about what you do (even though sometimes the news seems to travel really fast).

Asasinka

At last I love the whole team which brought us that beautiful game.
Keep up the good work. Sending kisses to you all.
And give us some official polls about the content. It will show us better what most players want, not some minority number on forums.

Skilledbandit08

Awesome, I definitely love the music. One of my favorite things by far that I just remembered has to be the dark anchors, I constantly find myself doing them over even if I already have a certain one.

ErykGrimm

The single biggest thing that I enjoy is that the game is similar enough to other Elder Scrolls games that my girlfriend plays with me. Her favorite games are Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. And now we can play a game that we love, together. Probably my highlight. When PvP was working a little better we had a blast in a 3 man group with my little brother causing all kinds of ruckus. Ahhh good times.

Just the faction story? I liked coldharbor more than the zones before...hell, I'd like vet content more if you had to do coldharbor again as well.

Anyway, I like:
-well written quests
-the main story questline
-sheogorath
-Razum Da

Sir. Bloody. Cadwell. LOVE that man! Hell, I'd love the LA Phone Book if John Cleese read it aloud.

Mostly, though, I love the questing. Love watching the drama unfold and being a part of it and seeing the world change because of my actions. Yes, phasing. It's not perfect but it does give my actions some consequences no otherwise found in a lot of games.

Also enjoy my Nightblade. Like kiting 3-5 mobs with a bow and then closing in to finish off the stragglers with my daggers.

I -was- enjoying the crafting until it got to the point where every trait takes 7-28 days to research! Ok, I lied... I'm still enjoying crafting. Being able to make set items that match or surpass quest and looted items makes me happy.

Asasinka

Awesome to finaly see some love outside
These one must admit she's very pleased

SwordBlaster

Watching the environment and hearing sounds on cities or outside, and using first person.

Also, music is awesome.

The Main Story is epic, as expected from a ESO game.

I Like questing, taking your time to hear what they have to say, and understand why you are doing what you are doing.

I'm experiencing with skills. There's great variety and is rewarding experiencing them (like, how the hell i didn't pick this skill before??)

Crafting System in general, and the look of it after patch.

Plenty of things more...

LIQUID741

The possibility my character won't be broken and most of the issues will be addressed in game. Love this game, but it's losing me slowly. I loved the questing, never listened to the music, might turn it on..since so many have mentioned it.

Guppet

I love the limit of 6 abilities, with the ability to choose what they are. It's what feels really different to me and it makes the combat more dynamic (well active blocking and dodging help that too).

So many customisation options, for how you want to play, well in theory.

lecarcajou_ESO

The lighting, and the weather effects. My list of things that make ESO fun is long, but in those moments when my enthusiasm flags, I think, "Man, but you don't get light and thunderstorms like this elsewhere (in a game)."

Moiskormoimi

Hitting 'quit'.

I keed. I think I would say the weather aspects as well

The best thing about this game IMHO is it attempts to break away from modern trends and return to more traditional RPG elements. Such as an emphasis on questing/exploration and complex choice-driven character development.

I love how it feels like an ES game. Standing on a cliff, looking out at the sea, a tree blossoming beside me... The sense that I am in an interactive painting, both wonderful and dangerous.

I also love my guild. Great people, great fun. The addition of the social component to the ES experience has been incredible.

Indeed, I almost forgot about weather That's what I love in life as well.
It's nice to run through forest when rain goes down.
It feels like "I'm alone, can't wait until i feel you"... rain and storms

Kingcroft

Music, being able to play the lute, PvE play, the ability to create different builds with in a single class. Quest with relevant choices.

Thechemicals

Too many to say.

BaddLarry

Just wandering around for me. Whenever I see that "Blankety-blank-blank Discovered" I like the feeling. Also whenever I fall off a clif and find a lorebook in some ridiculous spot.

Evergnar

• Bosses (although too few).
• Guild and main quests.
• World things. Beasties and random animals. Sheep, monkeys, squirrels, hawks, pigs, rodents, snakes. Dog chasing cat.
• Beaches, shipwrecks & ports.
• Emotes

Unfortunately I wanted my favorite parts to be more about groups, PvP(AvA), guilds. Maybe some day.

Dagus

Dumbledore's voice and the visuals of the game

edit : and the potential this game has to not suck.
it currently sucks a little, but it has the potential for greatness.

methjester

I love their ability to quickly address problems and correct them in a timely fashion.

Noswell

Finding the courage to group with random strangers and discovering they're just as bad as I am.
