Awsome game, it's nice to have a quality mmo on console. Took me awhile to get into but once I figured put the whole build creating thing I couldn't put it down. The pvp combat is also very unique. I don't understand why people come onto the forums and complain about it being a broken game then go back to playing it 2 minutes later...guess you can't please everybody.

I never really understood it as well. I just wanted there to be a heaven for positivity for the people at Zenimax and hopefully they will see what you shared here!

@rossvoss thank you for sharing!

What keeps me playing is the hope that someone at ZOS will fix the glitched arrow that appears at the feet of my character model when I use certain skills (a bug that is confirmed for consoles). It's really the only thing that bothers me PVE-wise and has caused me to stop using some really cool skills. I'm really trying to stay positive that the graphical team will fix the issue so I can fully enjoy PVE

I like to add, that the TG DLC is very thoughtfully implemented. I like the fact, that the TG skill line is really supporting stealth gameplay and has no negative effects on the combat system nor would it unbalance it. It is an option for those of us, who like to be sneaky and we will have a lot of fun with it - but at the same time the DLC does not contain necessary content for those not interested into criminal gameplay - ZOS did not make this a mandatory "must have" DLC, but truely optional.

What I love in general with ESO is the art style of this game - it is simply gorgeous - the soundtrack is supporting the gameplay and feel of the world really well and where ESO really excels is when it comes to 3d sound effects - the detail is just awesome, if you really pay attention to the little things they added, like subtil echos in hallway or the increased crackling sound of melting ice in the morning sun, there is so much detail with sound alone. The beautiful lighting at different times of the day is making this even more enjoyable. The overall landscape design is well thought out and the available space is well used and with an amazing amount of features.

Different climates are very well stitched together without that it would feel stitched. This is something what many might not even realize, but it is not that easy to get a good transition from a forested area to swamp land so, that it feels seamless and you don't know where one begins and the other ends. Well done.

I think if someone loves such details he/she can really enjoy the game and it feels like being on vacation for a while - an adventure if you want it to be one, but you can as well just do some relaxing chores like fishing or picking flowers or just explore without a goal or destination. Even Malukah is as bard in the game - simply awesome. The game is not forcing you to do things, you can get involved and help NPCs, but you can as well just ignore NPC requests - they are not angry at you, you can abandon a quest and pick it up later, what is quite nice.

Some say it does not have the feel of an Elder Scrolls single player game - but to me it has most of those qualities. And even better, content will not run out anytime soon. I believe into what ZOS said in their "year ahead" post - the game's population is very healthy and those saying differently are just judging from a narrow niche perspective. I see the game thrieving and ZOS did not lie when they stated this in their "year ahead" post. I think ESO has a bright future and will be my RPG home for years to come.

This is Malukah - maybe you have heard her as a bard in an inn

It's such a pretty world.... and I love it when it rains.

I always feel like a grown up that's allowed to play with her dolls again......

I played the beta and I didn't like the game for various reasons so I stopped playing. I recently started again and I have to admit that I really like the game now. Combat is fun, much improved from the beta and the biggest problem I had then with the game. (That and the quests) And the environments are gorgeous with a tremendous amount of detail, and it's fun to explore as well, since they put effort in building areas that you may not even visit. Nice!

DisgracefulMind · March 2016

There have been a lot of improvements and a lot of mistakes that ZoS has made in the past couple of years; however, the game is good enough to have still kept me here.

It also helps having an awesome community of people around me in ESO on a daily basis. I hope they fix the bugs/lag and get this game into the shape is deserves to be in.

Great combat system and awesome graphics!

Well done ZoS and Ty for an awesome game.

Vaoh · March 2016

I will always love this game.

There is a bright future for it as well in the coming 1-2 years. ZOS has proved they know amazing content (Wrothgar) so I can't wait to see what's next!

Magnificent story. As usual for this company.

By far my favourite game for visuals. Environments, NPCs and armours and weapons are just gorgeous. Only room for improvement in this area might be hair.

Cash shop isn't evil. I think many of the items are ridiculously overpriced and clearly aimed at whales but it doesn't impair enjoyment of the game at all. It can be completely ignored.

Combat is awesome. I'm in control of my character flinging spells as I please (more or less) rather than mindlessly watching my hotbar for abilities to come off cooldown.

Love the positive social values.

Funny thing is all the angry ranters play the game the most

I don't think I'd be considered one of them. I just didn't play it much until recently when I read about some of the long overdue changes coming. But I can sympathise with the angry ranters.

ESO is best of its kind in many respects and worst in others. It must be frustrating for some players to have a game which is almost perfect but dragged down by a few silly problems.

Lysette · March 2016

Ah and a new positive thing I just discovered - in the character selection screen my characters have their actual heights now and are no longer stretched or compressed - finally they do not look awkward anymore in the selection screen.

But I had some weird bug today, when I first logged in - the character selection screen lagged - guess like 10 fps or so - zoom was very delayed as well and like a slide show - but then the funny thing - my character started to randomly play emotes - in the character selection screen - never seen something like this before - and I was not even logged into an area yet, just selection screen. I restarted the client and it happened again - after I rebooted my PC it was back to normal. Strange.

menedhyn · March 2016

My thoughts mirror the majority of those positive comments already posted. As for the most positive thing I can say?

Thank you.

From a RP gamer, a huge and wholehearted thank you to ZOS and everyone involved in creating this wonderful game, for the work you do in trying to make it even better, and for making me... happy.
