Only one? Whatever you say man...
As much as I would love housing. Housing is hardly a staple of TES games... In 8 games, only one ever had housing, this also goes for spell crafting. While the guilds, and a justice system has been around in every game.What ESO is missing the most is content, and by that I mean TES content:
- Thieves and Dark Brotherhood guild
- Housing
- Imperial City
- Spellcrafting
- Justice System
After they implement all of this, we can all call ESO -> Best MMO ever made

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Houses
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Houses
I honestly forgot about houses in oblivion
My point was that the TES games didn't all ship with housing, and even the ones that did it was never a major part of the game outside of mods. Skyrim really broke the mold with hearthfire. And While I love player housing, the first thing I think of when thinking of a TES game is not player housing, in fact it's quite low on the list.
Yea, but hearthfire is an add-on. Sure it is more official than community add-ons and mods, but it's not strictly vanilla. Skyrim had housing long before hearthfire came along. The only games without housing are arena and the games where they tried breaking from the freeroaming style TES I known for... ESO is the eighth game, and the first to ship without some form of housing (bought, stolen, camped, or otherwise) since (I think) Redguard.
Sure, housing may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it is certainly missing.Edited by Shunravi on January 7, 2015 5:52PMThis one has an eloquent and well thought out response to tha... Ooh sweetroll!0 -

gunplummer✭✭✭One of the biggest things i think ESO is missing compared to the other TES games is the character versatility. With ESO your character can only be a DK, temp, a NB, or a Sorc. Yes, i know if we had every skill line you would have a bunch of doppelgangers running around spamming the same skills.
However, being able to just swap equipment/skills/spells to complement the quest type in the other games in order to play as the guild your questing for while not having to completely create a new character was nice. If i was in the thieves guild i could switch to my dual wield and medium armor, or with the mage's guild i could grab my staff and light armor all while still being able to have a maxed out crafting and enchanting. The gold sink for a respec in ESO though cheaper is still not cheap nor is the amount of skill points needed to truly max your character.
I don't really mind the alts, but most of my friends list and guilds have an overabundance of only 1 or 2 types of characters so finding the missing player to balance the group can be challenging.0 -

Rezzy64✭✭✭I would really like to see some minigames that you could craft as sets and carry with you to challenge random players at any time. Alongside of this I really want gambling, betting money and items to make the games feel more valuable.
I would like to see dueling, preferably in a city arena where gambling is also an option.
The thing I really want to see the most that I believe is a major thing missing from ESO, is a proper "Free Market" where anybody can come in and purchase a tent/kiosk and put their items out on display to be sold. It would make trading much more efficient and it would add a proper player based economy. Plus just running through a market such as that and finding out what items are popular/selling well is fun in it's own way to players who enjoy being merchants and shoppers.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Housing... I mean come on. This is not only a staple of modern MMOs it's a staple of TES games. How could they leave this part out?What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

AoEnwyr✭✭✭✭Depends on which perspective you want to come from. As a TES game, looting and clutter. Let me loot something of value from someone's bedside draw while they are sleeping. Have sneaking actually count for something while doing it or risk being chased halfway across Tamriel. I think that is being addressed in the Justice System, so they are on to that one.
From and MMO standpoint, the game is missing "fluff". By this I mean, variety in mounts, clothing/costumes, special events and festivals etc. Now I'm not saying we should have pink unicorns sparkling their way all around the place, but there is a sense of a lack of diversity in the game. These things obviously don't impact on game play and don't solve any bugs or issues that need addressing but these kinds of things are important in creating a sense of excitement in-game.0 -
