does ESO have split screen? would you have to connect 2 different consoles to the same screen and then hope TV have split screen? do you just have 2 TV's next to each other in the same room, so you can both play ESO on the same couch?
I'm just trying to understand the logistics of it.
since for me, playing together is why PC wins over modern consoles. and by together I mean the same game in the same room, on separate accounts.

I suppose the split screen capabilities would depend on the TV. I've never experimented with my TV, but since the consoles would be coming from two separate HDMI ports, there might be the possibility that certain TVs have that function. This would almost require you both to be wearing headsets though since the ambient TV sound would not be synced.
My thought was that there would be two TVs in the same room. My son and I have done this - me on the 55" and he was stuck with the 39" though... I would assume in the OP's case that any size deficiencies would most likely favor the Mrs. if the relationship is to last.

I'm kinda jealous over the size of your living room, or game room whichever room you have those double TV's in - cause my living room has decent space for one 50 inch TV and another one would just.... not really work at all (and then i start considering the amount of extra cleaning a room that bog would require, and jealousy dies down a bit)
So and I have our PC's set side by side in one of the smaller spare bedrooms. since you tend to set so much closer to a pc, screen doesn't need to be nearly as large to give you all the detail you may want. comfy chairs, ability to rebind out keybinds to whatever is most comfortable to each of us (we don't use the same keybinds) and we are good to go. seriously, I have nothing against consoles - I have a ps4 in a living room, and nostalgic ps2 attached to home gym tv, but the fact that i cannot rebind hotkeys on a controller is a MAJOR drawback. cause some games like to flip what their buttons do, so I would end up dying becasue i JUST got used to circle being my "go into cover" button, only for the next game I play use it as - vault over obstacle" key. /end rant.
seriously, forget addons, or higher graphical settings. flexible keybinding is probably number ONE reason why i will always prefer pc to controller, regardless of how casually i'm playing a game.
You know you can remap the controller buttons? I did the "D" pad added what I wanted took away a function I didn't use. I'm seriously Dyslexic and yet I manage to pop between ESO ( PC) / Skyrim ( PC ) / DA: I ( X-box 1), The other DA games I have on PC... I'll get DA;I also, just haven't.
The biggest con is that you don't get as many hotkeys on the controller.

https://howtogeek.com/254132/how-to-remap-your-xbox-one-controllers-buttons/ ... Sorry, but you can, the game doesn't recognize that you did it ( on console ) you just have to know what you did.

I... don't play on xbox (most games that interest me on xbox are cross platform with pc nowadays, so there is no point, especially with Master chief pc collection on the horizon), so i stand corrected about THAT. as far as i know, ps4 doesn't let you remap anything. edited to add. i cannot seem to open your link, so please clarify. are we talking remapping xbox controller while playing ON xbox, or remapping it while using it on pc? because you know... that kinda makes a difference.
also, i'm hapy that you pop without trouble between games. I'm not so awesome and amazing at games. it takes me a minimum of 20 minutes of game-time to fight my muscle memory into submission and in a meantime i am NOT enjoying myself, so honestly? why should i torture myself that way other then for console exclusive? yeah....
P.S. personaly, i find keyboard and mouse far more comfortable then controller regardless. .
For casual play, nothing beats sitting on the couch with a controller. I’m sure I can get better graphics and add ons, whatever. I don’t care. I don’t play the game for its gritty realism.
Console has less toxic players than PC
