Isn't the goal of RP immersion? Aren't the Inns also bars?
Your immersion is being killed because a bar is filled with people all trying to talk over each other loudly? 0_o3 -

And if you would have told me years ago that the elder scrolls series would release a MMO and you would not be able to "Role Play" I would have called you a liar...Edited by Funkopotamus on July 9, 2015 9:24PMAnything useful that players are wanting added into the game all fall under the category of "Yer ruinin my 'mersion!"

Egg_Death✭✭I don't understand this nonsense about voice chat making role playing impossible. In all reality it is more conducive since you are actually talking and not typing on a keyboard. How did you role play on PC in crowded areas? If you used a private chat, well then, do I need to state the obvious?
To top it off there IS a version of the game that has text chat and you choose to complain that the entire game doesn't allow role playing? What?2 -

Yeah, but those... Arghhmmm.. "Bruce Jenner's out there cannot RP now
Not attacking anyone here I am just saying.. We have all had those "Chicks" in our guilds before that refuse to join voice chat because they do not own a mic or there kid/dog ate it or the cord is broken or the mic got wet..
Just sayin

demendred✭✭✭✭This is the perfect opportunity for me to roleplay as a drunken *** in bars. I'll need to commit to it, so I'll buy some rum and coke. Drink, then sing drunken sailor songs and pick fights with people.All good Nords goto Sto'Vo'Kor.2 -
LoreRiley✭✭✭✭No, roleplaying is impossible because you have to join all 3 alliances to hit max lvl.1

✭✭✭The real reason RP in an MMORPG using voice only is not practical

madchuska83✭✭✭✭✭They should add channels other than area. An example is Neverwinter's chat channels "Looking For Group, Trade, and Area Chat", they could all be easily used for voice chat.0 -

Agreed.
RPing together is different than just dumping "your story" into a text chat. Might have to interact and take turns like real people talking in a crowded place.2 -

Yeah. Like improved you have to look for openings and conversations for your character to adapt or react to. No one cares about your back story. Use it to inform your characters actions and behaviors. Good story is subtext not overt.
Also you may want to invite like minded people into a group and hold a side dialogue.

See, this guy gets it.
I don't RP, but I think I'd try RPing with most of the people in this thread. I think it would be a good time.1 -
Dradhok✭✭✭I'm all for people RPing on their private guild RP chat channels. Go sing, scream, belch or cuss like a drunken sailor in your friends ears if that is what they like.0 -
traigusb14_ESO2✭✭✭✭✭From another thread... on RP on consoles.
While not really active anymore myself... I had fun last week with 2 sets of great RP people on Xbox NA EP.
2 kajiiti traders looking for crafting mats in riften. They both did excellent jobs and seemed to have made a lot of great deals making armor and gear. I sold them some daedra hearts when they ran low.
A lot of people were kinda confused by them, but it was great.
Second was a High elf caster who was coming to grips with the fact he got dumped in EP after coldharbor with a bunch of "barbarians, waste elves and lizards!"
As an Arronian, I had a great time trying to sell him some crafting materials. He was doing the traditional talk louder to foreign people thing "ruuuuuuUUUBy. it is a small red stone. Very sparkly... maybe you use it to decorate a nest... perhaps a mud hovel." and a somewhat absentminded thing. "You lose 1 soul and then you can never remember what is in your pockets. My word!"

✭✭✭✭✭The text box people need to learn a different way to role play if they want to do it on the console.
Text chat role playing and voice chat role playing are two entirely different things, played differently and with a different style.
Having done both types of role playing, I can say that I prefer the text box way of doing it, but I have had a whole lot of fun doing the more involved live action style.

✭✭✭✭Text Chat is essential to RPing. You cant describe what youre doing in VOIP like you can in text chat. It just seems really weird that youre verbally talking in third person and verbally narrating what it is youre doing.Penniless Sellsword CompanyCaptain Paramount - Jorrhaq VhentKorith Eaglecry * Enrerion Aedihle * Laerinel Rhaev * Caius Berilius * Seylina Ithvala * H'Vak the GrimjawlTenarei Rhaev * Dazsh Ro Khar * Yynril Rothvani * Bathes-In-Coin * Anaelle Faerniil * Azjani Ma'LesAban Shahid Bakr * Kheshna gra-Gharbuk * Gallisten Bondurant * Etain Maquier * Atsu Kalame * Faulpia SeverinusWhat is better, to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort? - Paarthurnax0 -
Sindala✭✭✭✭✭Just to be clear, Elderscrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited no longer advertises itself as an MMORPG, it's now classed as a Themepark MMO.

It is not a Theme park either, the game\s needs a lot more inter-actable elements, like housing and environment interactions to be in the theme park category imo.0 -
MornaBaine✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭The fact that the vaunted console release happened with no capability for text chat is just one more thing that should tell the roleplaying community that, despite the lip service on ESO Live and the Tamriel Chronicle, ZOS actually has no interest in their roleplaying players and zero intention of ever developing anything that supports roleplay.
