✭✭✭I'm playing for the TES!I'm only here for the TES lore. I've never played an MMO before, and likely will not play another one.
However, I am loving the lore and the PvE quests.3 -

I have two toons paired up with my best friend and two that I play alone ( as alone as one can be in an MMO ).

hk11✭✭✭✭I'm playing for the TES!I have to vote for the TES. While it's technically an MMO, its missing many of the features of the genre. It should be still in development at the stage where they say "well we finished the questlines, now lets add all the other stuff"Edited by hk11 on June 18, 2014 10:04PM4

R1ckyDaMan✭✭✭✭I'm playing for the TES!Play solo like I would any other TES game, really starting to wonder why I am paying a sub for it, but oh well... solo play is inferior in every way to modern era TES games.0 -

✭I'm playing for the TES!Elder Scrolls. The franchise has unique lore, revolutionary gaming mechanics and intriguing storylines. MMO's have too many elitists neckbeards to keep me interested.4 -

I like solo questing and selling stuff to other players.0 -
I'm playing for the TES!Definitely TES that brought me here but the idea of adventuring with a buddy or 2 added much attractiveness to the idea. Was wishing that was possible back in Skyrim so ESO was to be that wish come true..... finding it hard to see this as a TES title with the problems tho...Edited by TheScorpion on June 19, 2014 1:25AM1

Grunim✭✭✭✭✭Both!Looks like we needed to have Both/Squirrel as a combined option.
I'm digging the lore and the sights and sounds of the world. I also enjoy some PvP action and am looking forward to Cyrodiil improvements.Am a whimsical Generation Jones gamer. Online RPGs hooked me since '94 and no sign of stopping soon...0 -
AgriyaTheGrey✭✭✭I'm playing for the TES!So biased towards the TES aspects I have to say I'm playing for the TES, although if I'm being pedantic I'd have voted 'Both'. But I know my resistance to grouping at any time except when it suits me (usually group for reasons to do with how I perceive the narrative of such-and-such a quest, but sometimes admittedly I'll group if I can't find the right tactic in what I regard as a reasonable amount of time to solo this or that boss -up to 7 or 8 tries before beating a tough one is fair enough, have to try more than 8 different ways on what should be a straightforward one and my patience starts to fray, especially if my pain meds aren't working well) or if I see someone else having real problems, I believe takes me away from the mindset of players who would say they're playing for the MMO aspect.

Squirrel!I love TES and this is my first MMO so far I'm liking both.
Ah. I should have chosen: both.0 -

You're paying for future new content that you can solo, coming to you more frequently than a new TES stand-alone game. TES VI's release is still years away, but in the meantime there will be new stuff for you to do in this version of Tamriel at least a few times a year and if you experiment with the non-solo content and find something there you like, even more often than that.R1ckyDaMan wrote: »really starting to wonder why I am paying a sub for it, but oh well...
