    This is the official thread to discuss the blog article Harry Partridge on ESO. Enjoy!

    Your link directs straight back to this topic on the forums instead of directing people to the news article on the main ESO web site.

    As for Harry Partridge - really?? I've watched the animation he prepared and I didn't giggle, raise an eyebrow or contemplate anything new. C'mon, this guy's only claim to fame is a tacky tribute to Skyrim and a slightly famous father.

    Get a real comedian / animator involved please, if you want to promote ESO then the bar needs to be raised higher than the foot or so off the ground of this current attempt.

    Skyrim by Harry Partridge has over 17 millions views on youtube. I would say that qualifies as a real animator / comedian. you may not like his work but no need to insult someone who has done more than you currently.

    i thought he said at the end something about finding an elf Manmoiselle which made the bit about you're a chick in real life funny to me.

    I'd be distancing myself from that, instead of promoting it.

    I think Harry has outdone himself yet again, but me being an enormous fan of cartoon animations may result in a slight bias. c;

    To be honest I found the Skyrim animation slightly more entertaining and catchy. Anyhow I'll never doubt Harry as a great comedian and an even better animator.

    As to give my opinion on this matter, I find that Harry is not being used as a promotion for the game, but much rather that the Elder Scrolls team is simply giving him a shoutout for the good things he has deticated himself to doing for the community.

    Sure, I'll agree its not his best work yet, but that shouldn't stop the ES team from thanking him for it, should it?

    That is not to say I would mind Stephen Colbert making a cameo in a promotional video for the ESO, as Emperor, naturally. :D

    I think my niece would like it as she is 7 years old.....but she wouldn't understand the jokes because they take a lot of random things from the elder scrolls games and use it.

    But then she finds the elder scrolls online game boring....and lol....she thinks the same thing I do it doesn't have enough active skill slots.....

    but unlike me she thinks there should be more slots for her to be able to do important things like...and not kidding here....dancing....making flower hats.....playing with play-doh...and may favorite one of all time.....a sleep button....because she knows the bad people we fight are just sleepy.....and if we could take a nap they would take a nap too.

    hahaha, the video is so funny..... :D:D
    Then, i go into the game and saw that my bank is bug. I've lost my purchased slots and the gold i spend in the upgrades.... :|:|

    The fun vanished. Now I feel like the Captain Haddock. D:D:D:

    Guess I was lucky to see the video after losing my bank slots. Rather than experiencing it as the prelude to letdown, it's serving to cheer me up. Can't wait to show my husband. :D

    I enjoyed it, but then again I usually enjoy his work. Doesn't take shortcuts with his animation either, full and fluid.

    I thought it was fun, plus he is a real animator regardless of youtube he has done work for the BBC in the past i think, plus hes got an amazing sense of humor you have to respect that too.

    Eventually all of Tamriel will be in the game, just got to give the devs time to make the content. Which they are writing now if I am not mistaken.

    Great video by the way.

    Hehe, that one was finny, but then again most of his elder scrolls animations are :) I however have to admit that its not nearly as catchy as the one he made for skyrim. That one above all made me laugh my a** off. This one, although still funny only got me giggle a little.
