Reincarnation?

Coming from D&D and DDO (Dungeons and Dragons Online), there is the option to reincarnate your character, which basically entails restarting from scratch but with an additional 'feat' (skill) depending upon the class at time of reincarnate. Characters can reincarnate multiple times and when reincarnated 3 x upon every class, they earn the Completionist feat (an uber badge + increase in stats). It may sound boring to repeat the quests, but in DDO people aim for Completionist regularly.. Ad Nauseum... Recently, they added Epic Reincarnate, which takes you back to level 20 without a complete class reset but with an epic feat. I guess the quests are decent enough to keep players returning.

Is this anything like the Veteran system (I've not maxed character yet)? And could it be a viable system to keep the character active, rather than having to either roll an alt or play another game after ESO endgame?

    If you're willing to see any D&D mechanics in ESO, you're gonna have a bad time.

    If you are talking about a form of character progression... then there is quite some time before you will have a character fully maxed.... with V16 coming, huge amount of new gear, champion system (For all its faults....it's seemingly neverending progression for the majority).

    And they even hinted at a possible V18 in the future as well.

    I don't follow. There's already multiple overlaps between ESO and D&D mechanics.

    I don't remember such re-incarnation mechanics in AD&D or D&D for that matter ..

    Unless you just mean the computer game DDO ?

    Mind you i stopped buying AD&D after Edition 3.5 .. mostly stuck to Ed 1 or Ed 2 books
    ZoS please understand everyone thinks and pronounces things differently, so please add to your 'rules' that things get removed if the Mod doesn't actually quite understand phrasing

    In DDO, Epic Destinies must be earnt as a prerequisite for Epic Reincarnation... It's probably the equivalent of Champ Points. So, yes you would wipe them, but they would be traded in for a powerful feat.

    Glad you know what I'm getting at. Yes, it's a hardcore mechanic, and isn't for everyone. But it's not as hardcore as Permadeath/reroll.

    Isn't Lore one of those things that expand upon the choosing of Devs, for plot device and rationalisation of game mechanics? And isn't there a reincarnation concept in place already? http://tamrielfoundry.com/topic/afterlife-of-races/

    Nah. We sort of micro-reincarnate anyways with every respawn, only through our "vestige" status we get to keep all our memories and old body...

    If I wanted to dig out some D&D mechanics and wish for them to be in ESO, I'd much rather go for dual class or multi class... ;)
