Well, the main thing is that nothing stays dead.

And my belief that they could've created a proper hybrid, game of the year, has only gotten stronger.
I'll make another thread detailing what I've had in my mind since 2015.
its an mmo not a single player rpg. You cant make one into the other, i dont see why people are so obsessed with having an entire game and not being content with its genre.
Another thing that was a disappointment was that in ESO you can't loot all that a dead NPC was carrying. This triggers me to this day. Doesn't matter if it's trash, I want to have the option to loot e v e r y t h i n g. I want to be able to dress my character like a random bandit, or like the coolest mage I just defeated, or try on a normal peasant's clothes. No, collectibles don't count, I want to earn it from NPCs.
And NPC behaviour is much less realistic. Everyone is always at the shop, the town is always full of people, no matter the hour. It was nice how in Skyrim, NPCs would go to bed and so on, the towns at night really had a nice mood to them.
Speaking of NPCs, I also liked how you can just start dialogue and retain full control of the camera and whatnot. It's kind of irritating how in ESO you suddenly have to have a closeup on the NPCs.

Fallout 76 is an mmo, yet the combat feels very much like fallout 4 (except for vats). Looking at it played on YouTube it is not always clear which game is which.
But Skyrim’s combat and eso’s are vastly different.
Just saying things are different because one is an mmo and the other is not is not really a sufficient answer.
The creators of eso chose not to make it look like Skyrim, probably because it was cheaper to use a different game engine. That is basically the answer I feel.
Am I the only one that played the Elder Scrolls before the fifth game? Everyone seems to only remember that Skyrim exists....
