yes lets design the game around being vaguely okay-ish compared to the competition and settle for "adequate"ESO player since beta.

Which game exactly is our competition? You should give WoW a try if you think ours is "okay-ish". Talk about entitled.1 -
craybest✭✭✭✭✭Why compare to a decades old game though? I'd gladly welcome more customization. Specially more hairstyles, skin and eye colors.5 -

my example and idea was limited to splitting races from core mechanical passives, and reintroducing the tutorial levels that ZOS has created but replaced as new ones come out. (all stuff currently in the game, nothing new, and of purely beneficial nature, in fact the tutorial option is based on one of the most popular mods for mainline TES games)
and your responses have been very hostile and negative, boiling down to "be grateful for what you have, don't ask for anything better, go play wow, your entitled."
I never ONCE mentioned another game.
if your having a bad day just chill and stay off the internet, no reason to derail or be overly hostile, negative, or bating, in a very simple, straightforward and calm idea thread.ESO player since beta.

yeah I liked the start another life mod for TES games personally. they need to do better on their class selection screen to be honest, as the examples are vague and sometimes completely un related to the actual class skills.
something like a short video loop of some of the class signature skills as a preview would be great.ESO player since beta.

✭✭✭As I make characters with a story in mind they often don't have optimal race for their class and I would love to separate bonuses from races. I'd even say, given how ESO works, let all race passives be mostly flavor (like reduced lava damage or increased swimming speed)
And a big YES to picking tutorial!2 -

It goes something like this.
The players who aggressively defend racial passives have created all of their characters with the "right" race to maximise their stats.
Accordingly they feel POWERFUL.
They love the idea of others players not choosing the "right" race and meeting them in pvp where they can be DOMINATED with their RACIAL SUPREMACY.
Welcome to ESO.5 -
Saelent✭✭✭✭✭I’d love to be able to pick stat passives separately to the race, this just adds the story element.
Perfect!
I would finally get my stamina Breton!!!

✭✭✭✭✭I've asked for something like "lifestyle" (except it would be *background*) for quite a while. ESO has never had strong RPG elements, and Bethesda has been watering down the RPG in their RPGs over time, but it sure would be nice to see a reversal of that trend. Especially now, as proper RPGs are having a resurgence.1 -
