They did a pretty good job of actually making it look kinda like an actual Elder Scrolls game in that vid, although it's a 'wait and see' on how much of that translated into the game.

Only complaint is that they're using that godawful pain in the ass lockpicking system from, uh, Oblivion?

Graphically the lockpicking system looks similar to Oblivion but mechanically it looks like it's different. There wasn't any obvious reflex involved in it. Personally I liked the oblivion lockpicking system! The skyrim one was definitely quicker to master.

But yeah the first thing I thought after watching that video is that it really looks like skyrim now. With added fishing!

Damage control.
Could be it, some guy on IRC was saying they added watermarks (your account / mail) name written all over the screen) since the 20mn video leak. About damage control, on SWTOR testing program some leaks written in the same "beta impressions" weren't even in the beta forum and there were mentions of gameplay elements not even in the current build yet. It was quite clear Bioware Community Managers were spinning the wheel there.

Well they obviously can't show most of the fighting animation because it looks like ice skating currently.

The Betacake site is currently deleting comments specifically calling out how this entire "Tester feedback" is fake.

I love it.

Don't give these fucks any hits.

Edit: Hey they are back up. At the bottom of the page.

Yeah, there's a lot of shill comments. Not sure what you saw deleted. He does sound like a shill - and that's coming from me

Yeah holy shit that's some serious shillage going on. 'Hey guys I'm just here to tell you how amazing this game is and how everything that you're complaining about actually doesn't suck but is gonna blow your mind, you know, just telling you this from my perspective as a random bystander, no vested interest at all.'

I don't think I've heard anyone use the word 'noobie' since 2002.

The comments section is getting funny :

Delete what? Showing up fine for me? Why are you so ass hurt over some good remarks about a game in beta? You sound like UT on rerolled having a pissy fit over this game because of some masturbatory incident with Matt as a kid. Persistent hatred is bad for your health.

Does TESO have an actual endgame or is it yet another MMORPG that consists wholly of half a dozen 5-man dungeons and a PvP environment that stagnates after three weeks? I'm fed up with games that barely have enough content for a month of play, but if TESO has any kinds of meaningful and engaging long-term goals, that's enough to open my wallet. It has been years since I played any MMORPG for more than a month.

Okay then, more power to you. Who am I to question your taste and how you spend your money?
No please keep telling us infants that are completely retarded what we should do. I had NO IDEA that I chose whether I bought shit or not. You're so wise, like a miniature Buddha, covered in cum.

Ut, you're famous! And, no, for the record, I'm not tesotester. Truthfully, the objective side of my brain says this guy sounds like a company man. The less rational side just hopes that he isn't, cause I like the things he's saying about the game.

Obviously, no one has seen the end game, and some have suspicions that anything in the game past level 20 or so is even done. That said, they are planning a lot for end game:

-High level open and instanced dungeons
-"adventure zones" basically outdoor raid areas
-Cyrodiil pvp area - supposedly extremely large with keeps, towns, mines, towers capturable, and with pve hubs and dungeons within.
-Once you hit 50 in your faction, you can adventure in the other faction content (instanced so you won't see enemy PCs, and set to +50 level content/rewards)
-Quests/exploring to gain faction/skill lines from things like mage guild.

Also, don't forget crafting, gathering, and FISHING! Personally, I'm just hoping the pvp is something like DAOC. I can get lost for years in a good rvr zone as long as they do advancement right. I think they said there will be rvr skill lines that you can improve through something like realm points in daoc.

You would think that after that leaked video and the shitstorm that followed, they would release a new video of basically the same thing after the "animation pass". I'm getting that same feeling of bs that I did with the TOR fanbois. Then again I really enjoyed my time in TOR, as short as it was.
