My question? What did the huge NORD do with the sexy ELF chick! lol

I was going to mention that the Altmer/Bosmer-unknown woman might probably be the Green Lady, a Bosmer, seeing that she uses green magic.

However, I checked out the official support pages for info on the cinematic characters, and was struck hard with realization:

"The figures who appeared in our Facebook cover photo and who now star in the The Alliances Cinematic Trailer and The Arrival Cinematic Trailer represent the three factions in The Elder Scrolls Online. From left to right in the photo, they are an Altmer from the Aldmeri Dominion, a Breton from the Daggerfall Covenant, and a Nord from the Ebonheart Pact."

Also, directly regarding the Breton, the main topic of the thread:

"The rogue in our Facebook cover photo is indeed a Breton, representing the Daggerfall Covenant. He's also one of the three heroes of The Alliances Cinematic Trailer and The Arrival Cinematic Trailer."
~https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/795/

Whether the trio shall play a part in ESO's story over the coming years or not is a mystery, past one ambiguous claim from a ZOS rep: "As to will you see the heroes in the game? Only time will tell!"
(~From either one of the official AuA articles on the official site or the ZOS Facebook page manager, can't remember which)

i think they were all (the elf, the nord, and the breton) generic hero #1

Someone mentioned that the Breton is undead in Trailer 2 but from the end of Trailer 1 it looks like he was undead before the end of it. Possibly something to do with the blue energy that ran up his sword, perhaps?

trailer one: introduces the alliances, ends with heroes in a circle about to pounce on each other

Trailer 2 a dark anchor arrives and ruins the fun, breton get turned, Elf gets catputred

Trailer 3: battle for the Imperial City, pact uses elf as a mega lighting cannon, but she kicks their ass after, Nord moves for the inner city where he is confronted by the undead breaton. (note Manimarco is seen in this trailer which suggests this happens somewhere between levels 1-40ish)

Trailer actually showed that mages(elf) are OP build, NB(Breton) will be broken at launch as he died first and melee builds(nord) can't compete in dps with mages.

ew anime

Psh Obviously you never seen a good Thor anime, nor Samurai Jack


But I was actually thinking stuff Like Animatrix and Halo Legends

Samurai Jack wasn't an anime.

I have seen lots of good animes, but the style is exhausted and repetitious. Also, I generally find that most animes lack any real substance.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime-influenced_animation, it counts, and so does Avatar!

"Also, I generally find that most animes lack any real substance. "

I have no idea the context of this statment, so I must saaaay....What?

No "influenced"? doesn't count.

Japanese animation has entirely different cultural references than american animation, for example. Samurai Jack's references were entirely american.

Akira, Grave of the Fireflies, and a few others aside, anime just falls flat. Maybe it's a poor platform for story and character development, I don't know. I guess it's really good for discussing the monstrosities of nuclear war, but not much else.

those are all reeeeeeheheeeeeaaally old anime, and are movies, the best anime last from 12-50 ish episodes......and are also not dubbed

Yes, they are old, and good, and not necessarily dubbed at all.

You speak like I am not familiar with anime and am just making a blanket statement. I assure you, I've watched my fair share, including more recent titles. I excluded them from my list of good anime for a reason.

Breton didn't stay out of the red. It was his own fault.

And also where's elf chick have put her mage staff.... It's not in hands or on the back it must be placed somewhere.

In her loot bag with the 99 other weapons she has collected. she badly needs a town.

Then she didn't get bonus from staff it must be equipped so not buying that it was in bag. Maybe she had smaller version like 20-30cm long. But still where could she put it?

My random guess is that the elf chick is Ayrenn's mom, the Breton is a young Mannimarco and the Nord is either Lyris's dad (and or secretly Ayrenn's dad too - that would be a nice plot twist eh?)

No, Mannimarco appears in the third trailer, so he's not the same person as the Breton obviously.

The Nord in the trailer is too short to be Lyris' father.

No offense ment, you only listed anime movies from the early 90's, when most of the anime I personally enjoy are completely different than those.

I can only work with the information give to me. No clue how old you are or if you even go through the line up of new seasons of anime each season like I do.

It probably would have been a good Idea to provide a "bad" list for contrast

I don't think anime is worth the time to line up all the new seasons to watch more bleach or naruto every year and take notice of things staying the same. I have enjoyed one off movies with serious messages more, but those movies are few and far between.

Hmmmm.... Try "Sword Art Online", "Log Horizon" and "Psycho-Pass". They are serious anime, though possibly not with a message per sé.

Bleach and Naruto struck me as just light entertainment.

In regards to the Breton. There's no specific evidence that he's undead other than being stuck like a pig in "The Arrival". He's definitely working with Manni-crappo in the City though I think.

Fairydragon3 wrote: »

Also SAO has a pretty cool message. It pretty much asks people to think where the line between reality and fantasy is drawn. I think every MMO player would enjoy it

Seriously, if you like SAO then you'll probably like Log Horizon, similar premise different emphasis.

Log Horizon actually describes what I think is functional group gaming in the middle episodes.

It's painfully obvious that his game lagged and froze during the encounter.

Regardless of who the three heroes are, I think the real issue here is this:

Why on earth can't we have gear like theirs?!? I'm a night blade and am so annoyed that I can't look half as cool as the Breton. My brother plays a DK nord and he can't look anything like the nord either.

who doesn't want to look like that badass Breton (before he was zombified)! Give us some cloaks or a cape so we can come close to recreating him!

The Elf, well she isn't an altmer and she may be a he. So Again a non-canonical toon. To start with she isn't the same colour as either elf race that is close. That means it's not elder scrolls. It's more Tolkien and the marketing dept.

The Elf. I made an Altmer with that skin colour and it has breasts, they're rather clear in the third video as she gets dragged up to act as a focus. So definitely female. Also definitely tolkienesque and marketing too though
