Hi 👋
What are the main differences between the vast landscapes of Tamriel in ESO versus the stand alone games such as skyrim , oblivion, morrowind,...
Why would someone play skyrim instead of eso?
Eso is much bigger and its online and it has skyrim! Or what am i missing here ?
Is the gameplay different ?
Why would some prefer to play the stand alone games ?
What does it have to offer compared to the bigger eso franchise ?
Is the sta d alone games also not much much smaller ? Havent you seen the landscapes of those games rather quickly
Because Skyrim is better than ESO in almost every way. It has the depth that a TES game should have. It has simple, yet engaging and flexible combat. It can be modded. It has no microtransactions (assuming you block the stupid creation club using mods, like you should).Why would someone play skyrim instead of eso?
You're missing the fact that ESO is deep as a puddle. And the TES fanbase doesn't come to the games for an online experience.Eso is much bigger and its online and it has skyrim! Or what am i missing here ?
Yes, there are almost no similarities between the two in this respect.Is the gameplay different ?
Answered above.Why would some prefer to play the stand alone games ?
The ESO "franchise" is not bigger.What does it have to offer compared to the bigger eso franchise ?
You've asked this question 3 times with slightly different wording...Is the stand alone games also not much much smaller ?

OMG, you have actually play 8 THOUSAND HOURS IN ESO?! That’s insane! I’m currently sitting at CP 321 and I’ve played 130 hours and I’m starting to get a bit bored. Not to say there isn’t enough content, but so many of the missions and quests are so alike that they kind of start to blend together. I have no idea how you can play 8 thousand hours and still be enjoying the game and not going crazy from playing so much.AcadianPaladin wrote: »Mass and scale is the crucial difference to me. ESO literally dwarfs both Oblivion and Skyrim combined. My elf played 4k hours in Oblivion and outgrew it. She then played 4k hours in Skyrim and outgrew it. With 8k hours so far in ESO, I see no signs of her outgrowing it.

I usually play single player games. I've played Morrowind, Tribunal, Bloodmoon, Oblivion, Knights of the Nine, Shivering Isles, Skyrim [and dlc], and I'm considering Hammerfell or whatever the next ES game is titled.
There are times I don't want to deal with people. Online mmorpg is people, some of whom may decide to intentionally screw with your game play. It is also "online", if I don't have internet [and have set my Steam for offline] then I can play when I want, internet access or not. ESO can't be played if the servers are down for any reason.
To cover the large world of ESO, the stories are broad and sweeping. You don't find a lot of detail or even hidden areas or items. The single player games have a lot more options to get npc details, hidden areas, and items to find. I still remember how hard it was to find daedric arrows in Morrowind; how hard it was to get daedric armor, and finding a cursed mine you had to report to a Counselor in a haunted mansion that you could get a daedric weapon as a reward.... ESO stories tend towards the gray, and in some cases have me actively avoiding certain quests with any alts, because they were do darn depressing.
The single player games cover a smaller area, yes. However they have a lot more detail, and offer rewards for exploring. ESO, not so much.

The single player games are vastly better than ESO. Many people have touched on the much deeper and customizable character builds.
But I want to hit on two things not brought up yet;
1) The world feels more alive in the single player games.
Npcs have homes, they go to sleep, they eat and do chores. All the npcs in ESO seem to stand around in the same space 24 hours a day.
2) ESO plays it fast and loose with the lore.
Between how dragons are handled, to a overly populated blackreach, to unstealthy wood elves (etc), it’s hard for me to take the lore here that seriously since it seems they (ZOS) doesn’t take the lore seriously themselves.
It’s like a very good fan fiction but ESO is always going to feel like it’s not a part of the ES universe, just a distorted mirror of it.

Turned the "Dragons" into actual Dragons and not Wyverns,
ESO is one-dimensional in comparison.
Turned the "Dragons" into actual Dragons and not Wyverns,
Dragons are mythical creatures, there is no right or wrong about them. In ES universe dragons ARE the dragons we see in the game. They are not wyverns, unless directly stated so by the creators.
If the creators decided to call them a lollipop race, then that is what they would be. You cant put a dictionary correction into their fantasy world, and claim what they choose is dragons, to be something else. its beyond stupid
