I love the graphics in this game!! What is it that you love and keeps you playing every night?

So I love the graphics especially and just the scenes the game is set in. That makes me want to play it every night and the friendly people in this game.

What is it for you that you love about the game and makes you want to play it every night?

its tamriel...

One of the most rewarding things you can do in game is turn the UI off and play in first person with the graphics maxed. You'll gain a MAJOR appreciation for the little details in the world that are easy to miss in third person. Granted, it can be challenging, especially with AOEs, but if you want an amazing sense of cinematic immersion it can completely change the way the game is played.

Part of me wishes there were better native options in the UI for more immersion because, seriously, in first person sans UI the game is incredibly gorgeous.

EDIT: I know add-ons exist which can help immersion to some degree, but I'm specifically referring to better options built-in.

By friendly people, I'm assuming you mean the NPCs 'cause, god forbid you make a mistake or get in somebody's way or not quite be up to snuff in a group and you'll find out just how unfriendly a lot of the players are.

BTW: Query for EU - do you actually have babies playing or do you just all have babies close by when you are playing. All that goo-goo, ga-ga is pretty weird when I'm in the middle of a battle.

And I thought I was the only one who did this.

When I'm by myself, PvE-ing, I often toggle the UI off completely. It gets rid of sooo much: zone chat, all the tells that make the game easier, and so on. I can toggle it back on (and do) for quests or whatever, but I toggle it off again when exploring or running an easy PvE dungeon.

Do this for awhile, and you'll quickly learn to spot the heavy attacks/AOEs starting. Then, when you see one, roll dodge away. My bigger problem is keeping the two skill bars straight. I can't tell you how many times I've pressed a key and .... then died because the attack I thought I was getting turned out to be a buff.

I actually enjoy the quest writing. No, not every quest is epic, but I've truly enjoyed some of the quests. The AD Reaper's March questline comes to mind. There are others (not wanting to spoiler anyone so I won't say more).

I had hoped for more with the last Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood releases, but I was a bit disappointed.

I love pvp. Always a new experience

Rohamad_Ali · July 2016

I love all the people here I play with . The games beautiful . Amazing immersion and adventures every where . Sometimes you just have to sit back fishing and let it all sink in .

Ffastyl · July 2016

Playing in first person with a controller when the population is almost 0 (dawn) is the best experience I've had. The immersion that comes with solitary wandering is so rare...
But a close second is reading books. There are many a fascinating tale in each text, a true joy to collect each and every one. Also makes some experiences more horrifying than they otherwise would be.

ParaNostram · July 2016

I would like to say I love being able to create a character that is entirely yours, but it's hard to do that and keep up in this game. When you manage it, however, it's incredibly satisfying.

Minute_Waltz · July 2016

I love the RNG. It keeps me coming back everyday and grind mindlessly and felt rewarded when I finally get it.

PurifedBladez · July 2016

Pvp but I kinda feel like I'm losing intrest. Im playing less and less, also keep getting kicked more and more for just not paying attention.

Forestd16b14_ESO · July 2016

Well the lore and story of the TES world is what really hooked me into the franchise and ESO time traveling back in time to a time before unity is nice cause all the TEs games really don't have that huge of time skips TES 1 and TES 2 are like only 2 or 3 years apart and everything in between while TES 4 with it's massive lore changing events of a living Daedric prince walking Nirn only taking place 4 years after TES 3 with it's killing of the 2 and maybe 3 of the Dunmer living gods/goddess.

That's what got me and keeps me playing.....

To bad One Tamerial (horrible idea) is literally throwing half of ESO lore into the garbage really shows how much the dev team actually cares about their own game.

SahrotRein · July 2016

It's been a couple months since I was actually still enjoying the game and right now I only log on because of my 2 friends and a guild.

dem0n1k · July 2016

AvA PvP. Sometimes I get a bit bored with it & other times I just feel like I need a break from it.. but it's what keeps me logging in every day. I also really enjoy soloing world bosses & dolmens in the cadwell gold lands... it's pretty rare to see another player & I enjoy the 'lone adventurer' feel

The game is very beautiful ! The best looking game to date for me. I still (after more than 2 years of play) turn the UI off & take screenshots because it looks so awesome.

Graydon · July 2016

It's a big fun world!

Runefang · July 2016

It's the only decent console MMO.

nimander99 · July 2016

Never ending progression, game world, graphics (excluding grass fillers), lore books, crafting, upcoming One Tamriel, upcoming Vvardenfell and Donald Trump

Edit: Oh yeah and the combat, I forgot about that, I really enjoy the action style of the combat.

Edit 2: And the exploration, finding nooks and cranny's and cool stuff like that. Trying to find amazing vistas etc. And mudcrabs/scamps.

KimberlyannKitsuragi · July 2016

I don't know how to explain it. It's just home to me. I give kudos to everyone who can successfully play in first person

I've tried and find it visually overwhelming

Smasherx74 · July 2016

If you love the graphics you should try Ultra Real Lighting and Colors sweetFX preset. Makes the game look a like more like a traditional Elder Scrolls without over saturated colors.

@Smasherx74 I've asked this before and didn't get an answer so I'll ask you, aren't those programs considered 3rd Party tools and against ToS? I really want to try them but I'm concerned I'll get flagged for it...

C0wrex · July 2016

Adventures!

Sigma957 · July 2016

Besides the amazing scenery I also play with in game music on, it is really beautifully done.

What keeps me logging back in? At this point I think it's inertia.

I've seen multiple threads about SweetFX and even programs that disable the rendering distance, they weren't taken down. So I'm assuming no.

I remember at launch or beta there was an issue with extra distance rendering which wasn't intended, but that's fixed now.

I guess thats why there are so many walls...But like the real world, it really doesn't keep anyone out for long.

I like the beauty and landscape of every zone I have been in except Malabal Tor, and Stonefalls. They are very vibrant, my favorites being Reaper's March and Auridon.

Seratopia · July 2016

I guess for me it's pvp.. It sure does exercise my blood pressure though.

And of course I love my character.

Snowstrider · July 2016

Trying out new builds, new characters and pve end game

Vaoh · July 2016

The Elder Scrolls

It's a "TES" game.

Take away the title, and I'd leave without ever looking back. For all of ZOS's flaws, they've survived because an Elder Scrolls game cannot fail anymore. The lore and past games support it through their success because it is an awesome series!

I don't even want to think how quick ESO would've emptied out from massive mistakes on ZOS's end throughout the game's history if "The Elder Scrolls" wasn't involved.
