Well, in any case, I don't think there was anything subjective about my complaints. The first "gameplay" video and all they do is talk about how you can't do this or that. Sure, lots of people will buy it, but only because it has "The Elder Scrolls" in its name.

Oh pwease pwease care about it, it'll just bweak my little heart if you don't!! Oh wait.. *Image removed*

There's a helluva lot of difference between making "Skyim Online" and "World of Elder Scrolls". Judging by their first gameplay video, it reeks of WoW clone. What's that MMO design method? Ah, right -- take an interesting game idea and then restrict the crap out of it and convert normal gameplay into a button-mashing action bar. They're sure taking a bold step into the MMO world! Really breaking the mold.

Not true. Bethesda is part of "ZeniMax Media" but TES: Online is being created by "ZeniMax Online Studios", which has none of the people from Bethesda in it. And as for the rest of you, complaining about my negativity, I have valid reasons for thinking it's gonna suck. If I saw an asteroid heading straight at me you can bet I'd say "this is gonna suck" and I'd be right.

Having watched the first gameplay video of The Elder Scrolls: Online, here are the reasons why it is going to suck, terribly: 1. There are three factions, but they are all trying to do the same thing. 2. The fact that your character is confined to a faction means that quests will rarely have any element of choice or freedom to them. 3. You cannot explore territory outside of your faction. 4. There are classes (such as mage, warrior, etc.). 5. There are abilities on an action bar, which means it will feel like a WoW-esque button masher. 6. The fact that there are class specific abilities means it will not be viable to play as a mixed-class (mage with a bow, etc.). 7. Perhaps most important of all, it is not actually being made by Bethesda. Overall, what this means is that the company making the game (ZeniMax Online Studios) is making it just like every other MMO: by taking a fun concept then restricting the s*** out of it until there is no freedom or choice and it is boring as hell.
