Would you use the same build/play style if ESO was single player?

SugaComa

Yes

Yes, my builds pretty well rounded and can fit a vetiety of games play situations with a few skill and gear changed ... So yeah

I'd like to get as many achievements on a single character as I can so it needs to be balanced

TheShadowScout

Yes

I build my characters to follow the fluff ideas I like. No matter if solo game or MMO. And care not if it maybe isn't super-effective and I get trounced in cyrodil by people with great PvPness...

I would mod the crap out of the game, make it harder and have multiple followers to help me.

Oh but if ESO was single player you know I'd have Godmode on the whole time.

Interesting, why is it fun then?- If there is no challenge at all. I had the problem in Oblivion, where my characters reached godlike status far too early in the game, what made it boring to play.

My enjoyment comes from exploration. Godmode means that exploration isn't interrupted by an impassable enemy or sudden demise such as a long fall. However in Skyrim that console command only applies to you. I've killed so many Horses...

Try convenient horses mod - there you can make your mounts flee conflict and they are less likely to get in harms way. Among many other features, it's a really good mod.

I voted other. I am playing it right now as if it was a single player game. That can change if I ever get a higher level and know how to play a MMO game.

Super curious if people would play the same way if ESO was single player.

I know for a fact, I would not. Right now I play a stamsorc, for survivability+DPS. My builds on any of my characters are designed around needing to fit the DPS role in dungeons. I'm sure if I didn't take that into consideration, my build would be more fun, less dps. I'd probably do a poison archer build (including alchemical poisons, which I never use because I feel like they are a waste of gold. ), or a stamblade mainly stamina, but using a few magicka abilites.

What about you guys? And what holds you back?

I only play solo because BG's are toxic and so are the PVE "meta" guys, therefore I've built for solo play, so yes.

NovaMarx

Yes

I pretty much ignore all the min/max, optimising, meta build stuff -- If I'm going to invest my time in a game, I'll play it my way, even if it means I'm not as "good" as everyone else. I'm proud to say that I often surprise the people I play with with how well I actually do despite not giving a toss about the "meta".

Does this mean I die more often in PvP? Sure, but I still have fun because I play how I want. But of course I can understand that many others would prefer to be whooping butt non stop - and will go the optimised/meta route instead

All NPC's would be my friends. Including Friendenemies

There'd be no difference in game mechanics. Just take other players away and that's it. The game would still play the same way.

Yes, overland is the same, now an healer build would obviously have dd gear, overland is so easy i don't bother changing gear on healer, just bar layout with an one bar for damage

Minyassa

No

No. I can survive very well on fun hybrid builds, but those aren't up to the meta and I don't want to get kicked out of dungeons. I hate having to say that. I kind of hate having to play like that. But because some people are elitist jerks I know that if I try to play the way I want to I will not get to participate in certain things.

Sparr0w

Yes

Build all my characters so they can survive solo, only thing I'd change is an easier rotation... probably just 1 bar.
