I used to wish for WoW in space, then I learned my lesson.

I like ESO because I like Tamriel. It’s Different enough from Middle Earth and Midgard to have its own special place in my mythology, but similar enough that I don’t get “fatigued” with trying to learn it.

For example I feel like I could just display this Dragon Priest mask and never have to explain it. Something about the Elder Scrolls just flows naturally with Earth mythos and culture so unless it was well written and fully fleshed I’m not sure I could get into ESO “futuristic”.

ESO with a Fallout coat of paint might be fun, but then I’d miss the fantasy elements like Bosmer and Daedric princes. Everyone in Fallout is a human, or a mutated human. It would be like playing nothing but Bretons, Imperials (Ceasar’s Legion), or zombies. Also, it would just be American history as the mythology. Human history is......... not fun for me lol

You're a few years too late.

The Division is pretty much ESO with guns and no magic.

My only gripe with The Division was how chunky everything got. It was fine overland in Tier 5, but leveling was uneven, and even getting to 256 for T5 was a stop and go mess. When your weapons were slightly more powerful than intended it was a lot of fun, but progressing to Hard simply upped everything's health.

It had a lot of cool ideas, but I really found myself wishing it had combat more in line with Ghost Recon: Wildlands, once that came out.

Some of the legendaries were absolutely ridiculous until 1.7 dropped.

From a raw gameplay perspective, The Division was the full package. The combat was fun, engaging, varied and otherwise amazing. It was all the nuances with the game that made it fail, not even bugs. The simple stuff like UI and GROUP FINDERS just were not done in an appropriate manner and made grouping up a huge pain. It has, and still feels like a game straight out of a closed beta.

Sorry, looping back, what really got me about the combat for The Division was, it would have been fine if you weren't dealing with normal humans. I mean, if this had been some urban fantasy romp, where you were fighting extradimensional horrors or something, that would have gone a long way towards explaining why that guy just took half a mag to the head.

Not a bad game, but there was a mismatch between the kind of game it was and the kind of setting it was bolted into by the Tom Clancy branding.

ZoS can't even manage "old" ESO. What in Oblivion has you believing they'd be able to pull off a modernization of it?
